Making a choice between two well-equipped phones, based on their features, remains a difficult task; that’s why in this Honor 70 5G vs Xiaomi 12 comparison, we’re going to help you in this complicated task.
Based on details regarding the aspects: displays and screens, design and conception, performance, endurance, recharging and batteries, not to mention their respective prices, we will allow you to see more clearly and decide on which one to buy.
Honor 70 5G vs Xiaomi 12 : which one is better designed?
Made in 04 different colours including: crystal silver, Icelandic frost, midnight black, emerald green; the back of the Honor 70 5G smartphone, has a double ring, symbolising a perfect, clean and pure design and very refined buttons on the right side.
In analogy to the Honor 70 5G, the design of the Xiaomi 12 is also more than breath-taking; it is also made in 04 different colours: Grey, Blue, Purple, Green. The front is made of a glass front (Gorilla Glass Victus) and its back panel of glass (Gorilla Glass 5), and aluminium edges.
Its dimensions are 152.7 x 69.9 x 8.2 mm (6.01 x 2.75 x 0.32 inches). Its weight varies between 179 g and 180 g. The phone takes two chips.
As usual with Honor, the design of the Honor 70 5G is impressive, especially with its unconventional colours and millimetre-accurate details. However, the design of the Xiaomi is not to be overlooked either, so we can’t comment on that part.
The two phones cannot be separated in this area.
Honor 70 5G vs Xiaomi 12 : which one has the best display and screen features ?
The Xiaomi 12 features an AMOLED display measuring 6.28 inches by 95.2 cm2; with a 68 billion colour display and a screen resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, a ratio of 20:9. The smartphone can thank its 120 Hz refresh rate and HDR10+, Dolby Vision features at 1100 nits. Note the Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protection that protects the phone from scratches.
The Xiaomi 12’s screen has everything to please; recognised as grade A+ by Display Mate, it offers richer colours (DCI-P3), precision tuned for perfection (True Color), an above-average contrast ratio (5,000,000:1)
The Honor 70 5G’s 6.67-inch screen, with its standard rectangle and 20:9 aspect ratio, displays 1.07 billion DCI-P3 colours and can be refreshed at up to 120Hz and display content in FHD (2400 x 1080).
Both smartphones have almost identical specs, the only difference being that the Honor 70 5G is 0.38 inches larger and the Xiaomi has a display rated A+ by the world’s leading display rating body, so all indications are that it deserves to win this first game.
Honor 70 5G vs Xiaomi 12 : who performs better ?
On the face of it, the Xiaomi 12 features the ultra-efficient Liquid Cool VC technology that speeds up thermal circulation and reduces temperature to prevent overheating. It runs Android 12 + MIUI 13 and has a Qualcomm SM8450 Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 (4nm), Octo-core processor (1×3.00 GHz Cortex-X2 & 3×2.50 GHz Cortex-A710 & 4×1.80 GHz Cortex-A510) all backed by an Adreno 730 GPU
The different models available are 128GB/8GB RAM, 256GB/8GB RAM, 256GB/12GB RAM. The following features of the phone should not be overlooked: fingerprint (under screen, optical), accelerometer, gyroscope, compass, colour spectrum, virtual proximity detection.
The Honor 70 5G is no match for the Xiaomi 12; thanks to its Turbo X feature that keeps frame rates high and power consumption low while powering high-speed games. In addition to its Turbo X feature, it packs a Qualcomm SM7325-AE Snapdragon 778G+ 5G (6nm) chipset and Octo-core processor (1×2.5GHz Cortex-A78 & 3×2.4GHz Cortex-A78 & 4×1.9GHz Cortex-A55), all backed by an Adreno 642L.
Despite the technical performance of the Xiaomi, the fact that it is older than the Honor 70 5G prevents it from benefiting from features such as the turbo X of the Honor 70 5G; this being the case, I would choose the Honor 70 5G for its fast cooling in games, and playing in autonomy longer.
So in this game the Honor can score a point.
Honor 70 5G vs Xiaomi 12 : endurance, charging and battery ?
With a 4500 mAh Li-Po battery, non-removable, the Xiaomi 12 can benefit from a PD3.0, QC4 67W wired charge that can fully recharge the battery in 39 min, a 50W wireless charge that can reach 100% in 53 min, and a reverse wireless charge with a power of 10 W. The Xiaomi battery can also do 02 days in full use.
The Honor 70 5G, on the other hand, is equipped with a 4800 mAh Li-Po battery, non-removable enjoying a 66W wired charge reaching 60% in 20 min and a 5W wired reverse charge.
The mAh capacity of the Honor 70 5G’s battery is a whopping 300mAh more than the Xiaomi 12 5G, and even though the Xiaomi 12 can benefit from 03 types of charging, I think Honor is in the driving seat here. However Xiaomi’s battery endurance does correct this, this being the case both phones gain a point each in this section.
Honor 70 5G vs Xiaomi 12 : whose price is more affordable ?
On Xiaomi’s official website, you can get the Xiaomi 12 from £869.90 while the Honor 70 5G costs £549.90 in its 8/128 version and £599.90 with the same RAM and double the memory.
Honor 70 5G vs Xiaomi 12 : verdict of the versus ?
Until we look at the price, the two phones are neck and neck in this versus that concerns them; but looking at the prices more closely, we can see that in general the recently released Honor 70 5G is cheaper than the Xiaomi 12.
