Honor recently pulled back the curtain on the design of its forthcoming 700, 700 Pro, and 700S smartphones. One of the standout design elements across all three models is a secondary screen embedded within the camera plateau on the back—and a new teaser suggests this compact display may offer some surprising health-related capabilities.
Based on the latest promotional image shared by the company, the rear screen appears capable of displaying heart rate and blood oxygen readings. It's worth noting, however, that Honor has yet to officially confirm this functionality, leaving the exact mechanics of the feature open to speculation.
Naturally, collecting such biometric data would require dedicated hardware somewhere on the device. There's reason to believe the necessary sensor could be positioned just above the oval-shaped multi-LED flash on the rear panel, though this remains unverified by the manufacturer.
Renowned Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station adds more context about what the secondary display might offer. Beyond health metrics, the screen could reportedly function as a viewfinder for snapping selfies using the superior rear cameras. The leaker also claims users will be able to enjoy mini games on the small panel and receive notification alerts.
Honor has confirmed that all three models in the series will arrive in four color options: Blue Tone, Cold White, Clear Sky, and Pink Mist. Earlier reports indicate the standard Honor 700 will run on Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, whereas the 700 Pro is expected to step up to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5. Both variants are rumored to feature a periscope telephoto camera with teleconverter compatibility, and the Pro model is said to pack a 6.57-inch display alongside a massive 9,000 mAh battery.
