Honor X70 Pro Max vs Honor X70 Refresh
Comparison between Honor X70 Pro Max and Honor X70 Refresh: camera, battery, fast charging, display, performance and colors, side by side. More phones from Honor.
NeoTeo's verdict
Which of the two is the better buy
The Honor X70 Pro Max suits buyers seeking a more versatile camera, newer connectivity, and a slightly larger battery; the Honor X70 Refresh is the better fit for performance, more RAM, and deeper water protection. The overall gap is narrow, so the choice rests on these priorities.
The Pro Max leads for photography with an f/1.8 main camera versus f/1.9 and an ultrawide camera that the Refresh lacks. It also brings Wi‑Fi 6E versus Wi‑Fi 6 and 90 W charging versus 80 W. The Refresh counters with 12 GB of RAM versus 8 GB and water protection to 6 m versus 1.5 m.
For the battery, the Pro Max combines 8,560 mAh with 90 W, while the Refresh offers 8,300 mAh and 80 W. Both share the Snapdragon 6 Gen 4, up to 512 GB of storage, and 80 W wireless charging; the Pro Max adds IP69 to IP68 and IP69K. The Pro Max is the first choice for camera, charging, and connectivity; the Refresh is only the better buy if it costs less.
