Huawei has quietly launched its new Enjoy 70X Premium Edition in China, delivering a compelling mix of performance, design, and battery life — all at a very competitive price point. Here’s everything you need to know.
🔍 Key Specs & Features
- Processor & Performance
- The Premium Edition is powered by the Kirin 8000 SoC, a significant bump from the Kirin 8000A in the regular 70X.
- According to Huawei, the Kirin 8000 uses an octa-core architecture: 1 × Cortex-A77 @ 2.4 GHz + 3 × Cortex-A77 @ ~2.18 GHz + 4 × Cortex-A55 @ ~1.84 GHz.
- This chip is paired with 8 GB RAM and two storage options: 256 GB and 512 GB.
- Display
- You get a 6.78-inch curved AMOLED (often described as a “waterfall display”) for a premium feel.
- Resolution: 2700 × 1224 (FHD+), 120 Hz refresh rate, and 2160 Hz PWM dimming for smoother visuals and better eye comfort.
- The screen supports “AI wet hand touch” — smart touch detection even when your fingers are wet.
- Battery & Charging
- A massive 6,100 mAh battery powers the device.
- Supports 40 W Turbo wired charging, which should top up the phone relatively fast given its large capacity.
- Huawei claims usage times like: ~1.3 days of video playback, 1 day of online video, 3 days of music, and ~1.7 days of calling. Huawei Central
- Cameras
- Rear: 50 MP primary sensor + 2 MP depth sensor. Gadgets 360+1
- Front: 8 MP selfie camera.
- The 50MP sensor supports OIS (optical image stabilization), which should help with low-light shots. Gadgets 360
- Software & Connectivity
- Runs HarmonyOS 4.2 out of the box. Huawei Central
- Connectivity includes dual SIM, Bluetooth 5.1, Wi-Fi, and USB-C. Huawei Central
- Has Beidou satellite messaging: you can send and receive text and image messages via satellite by pressing the dedicated “X” button.
- IP64 rating: some dust and splash resistance.
- Build & Design
- Dimensions: ~164 × 74.88 × 7.98 mm; Weight: ~189 g. Huawei Central
- The back design takes cues from Huawei’s premium flagships — a large circular camera ring + a sleek body.
- The frame is reinforced with a robust “armor-like” structure for better drop resistance. iGeekphone
- Other Features
- Super NFC: One-touch payments and more.
- In-display fingerprint sensor (under the curved screen) for security. Web News Wire+1

✅ Why This Phone Stands Out
- Performance Boost: The upgrade to Kirin 8000 from 8000A can mean better performance and efficiency.
- Big Battery: 6,100mAh is very generous — ideal for heavy users or those who dislike charging often.
- Curved Display: Gives a more premium feel compared to flat budget phones.
- Satellite Messaging: Beidou support is a big plus in emergencies or remote areas.
- Durable Build: Reinforced body means better resilience to drops.
- Affordability: At its price, these features are quite competitive in the Chinese market.
⚠️ Potential Trade-offs / Considerations
- Only 40W wired charging — not super fast compared to some rivals with 65W+ charging.
- No mention of wireless charging.
- Likely China-only launch for now, so global availability (or international variants) may be limited.
- Running HarmonyOS may not have the same app ecosystem as Android or iOS in all regions.
The Huawei Enjoy 70X Premium Edition seems like a thoughtfully upgraded version of the base Enjoy 70X. It brings meaningful improvements — most notably the Kirin 8000 chip, a large and long-lasting battery, and a curved premium display — all while keeping a very competitive price. If this launches in your region (or can be imported), it’s a very attractive mid-tier device with some flagship-inspired touches.
