Honor 700 Series Launch Moved to November 23: New Date, Time and What We Know
Honor was supposed to unveil the Honor 700 series today, Friday, November 13. Instead, the company has pushed the launch back by ten days. The Honor 700, Honor 700 Pro and Honor 700S will now be revealed in China on Monday, November 23, 2026, at 2:30pm China time, at an event in Wuhan.
New launch date: Monday, November 23, 2026, 2:30pm China time | Venue: Wuhan, China | Models: Honor 700, Honor 700 Pro, Honor 700S | Battery: 9,000mAh Qinghai Lake (confirmed) | Rear display: AI-powered, on all three models | Main camera: 200MP (confirmed) | Pricing: not yet announced
What changed
Honor CEO Li Jian announced the new date in an official post on November 13, and Honor’s global chief marketing officer Guan Haitao also confirmed the event. The official launch poster lists the same details: November 23, 2:30pm, Wuhan. Honor has not explained why the launch moved, and nothing in the announcement suggests the phones themselves have changed.
The new date also means the series will arrive six days after the Xiaomi 18 Pro global launch on November 17. Our earlier report on the Honor 700 series gave the original November 13 date, which is now out of date — this post replaces it.
What Honor has confirmed so far
The company previewed the lineup at a media briefing in Beijing on November 12, calling it its strongest digital series to date. The headline specs Honor has now confirmed are a 9,000mAh Qinghai Lake battery and an AI-powered rear display on every model, plus a 200-megapixel main camera across all three phones. The Honor 700 and Honor 700 Pro also get a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto with 3.5x optical zoom, and both will support an 88g G200 telephoto extender as a separate accessory. Honor is also bringing 4K cinematic Live Photos to the series, and the phones use Honor’s third-generation C3 RF chip.
Honor has confirmed Snapdragon 8 flagship chips for the Honor 700 and Honor 700 Pro, without naming the exact processors. The official product pages already list the colours — Clear Sky, Pink Mist, Cold White and Blue Tone — and reservations remain open in China, including on JD.com. Honor also named actress and singer Ju Jingyi as the brand ambassador for the series.
What is still unconfirmed
The exact chips are still officially unnamed. Reports from tipster Digital Chat Station point to a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 in the standard Honor 700 and a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 in the Honor 700 Pro, and a Geekbench listing for a device believed to be the Pro (model FAP-AN00) also points to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 with 16GB of RAM and Android 17 — but none of that is officially confirmed, and Honor has said nothing specific about the 700S chip. Pricing and a full official spec sheet are also still under wraps.
What happens next
Reservations stay open until the event, so the ten-day wait costs buyers nothing but patience. The November 23 event should settle the chips, the charging setup and the prices — check back then for the full official specs once Honor takes the stage in Wuhan.
