Honor 700 series rear screen heart rate and blood oxygen, Digi Mart USA News: The Honor 700 series will be able to show heart rate and blood oxygen readings on its rear display, according to official images shared on Weibo. The images appeared four days before the series launches in China on November 13.
Honor confirmed the launch date on its official Weibo account in a short teaser video captioned “New friends, see you on November 13.” Demonstration units have also started appearing in some of the company’s retail stores in China.
The new images show the square secondary screen, set into the rear camera island, displaying both health readings. The same panel also serves as a live viewfinder for selfies taken with the main rear cameras and shows flight reminders.
Honor has not said which sensor takes the measurements or how the readings are calculated.
Tipster FixedFocus says the standard Honor 700 and the Honor 700 Pro will both support heart rate and blood oxygen monitoring. The leak does not mention the Honor 700S, the entry model in the range.
Fang Fei, president of Honor’s product line, said every model will carry what the company calls an “AI Dynamic Rear Screen.” He described the series as the biggest design change in the history of Honor’s numbered line. Users can switch the content on the rear panel and apply personalized themes, and Honor has built an AI-powered electronic pet for the screen that responds to interaction without interrupting other tasks.
The line-up comprises the Honor 700, Honor 700 Pro and Honor 700S, all offered in Cold White, Clear Sky, Blue Tone and Pink Mist. Pre-order listings show the 700 and 700 Pro in 12GB and 16GB RAM versions, while the 700S comes in 12GB + 256GB and 12GB + 512GB configurations.
Leaks point to a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip in the Honor 700 and a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 in the Pro, along with a 200MP main camera, a battery of around 9,000mAh and a rear screen measuring about 1.72 inches. Honor has not announced prices or full specifications for any of the three phones.
