Design and Display

There is quite a large screen real estate on the Homtom HT70 maintaining the ongoing 18:9 aspect ratio seen in most smartphones. Also, sporting a staggering 6.0-inch display accompanied by a 1440 X 720 pixels, the display is not as impressive as high resolution ones in other premium smartphones.

All of this is possible thanks to the 10, 000mAh Li-Po battery featured on the smartphone.
Camera-wise, the smartphone also has an impressive specs, offering a dual rear camera made of a 16MP and 5MP sensor. For selfies, you have a 13MP sensor with f/2.8 aperture which is quite befitting. This is good enough for taking brilliant pictures although low light might not have as good enough clarity.

In segue, there is also an ample 4GB internal memory for app multi-tasking and general app installation which assist in giving you a smooth performance. Storing files is not a problem with the 64GB that comes with the smartphone. This is expandable to 128GB using a MicroSD card.On the other hand, the smartphone runs on Android 7.0 Nougat with no information yet on an Oreo update.
