[Device Reviews and Information] xdauser2018:
Hi There,

HT70 seems to be one of the best Battery Phone for 170$/150€ price tag.

I received some days ago and i'm able to give you my thoughts:

5.99 "HD +, Mediatek MT6750T 1.5Ghz, 4Gb Ram 64Gb storage, Android 7.0, Cam IMX135 13Mp + 2mp secondary (not specified) + Flash dual led and front 8Mp, 10000mAh, Type-C, Led Notification, OTG, GPS Glonass , Dual Band Wifi, Gyroscope + Compass.

Bundle

Very compact package for this HOMTOM HT70, does not reveal the brick inside ... matte black box containing the phone, the English manuals, the USB Type-C Red cable, the OTG Type-C USB-A cable (Also for Reverse Charge), a Transparent Silicone Case, an additional plastic protection for the front glass, the 9V 3A charger with EU socket and a Type-C adapter to 3.5mm headphone jack. As mentioned the charger is 9V 3A and allows a complete charge of the 10000mAh integrated battery in about 3 hours 30 minutes.

Design, Display, Materials, Ergonomics, Keys, Performance

Good use of materials for the price range of the device, the frame is in metal and the back in plastic with a "reflective" effect like the Honor 8 (holds the fingerprints), 2.5D rounded front glass and 5.99 "18: 9 display with resolution HD + 720x1440 and about 268ppi Very cumbersome and bulky (165x77x14.4mm approximately for weight 310g), although heavy it seems to be balanced in handling.

At the top right of the headset there is a notification LED, hiding screen keys (with the possibility of customizing the back and multitasking position) and rear fingerprint reader moved to the left with respect to the dual camera. The MT6750T CPU with a Nougat stock ROM guarantees fair performance and usability of all contents.

The rear fingerprint reader is just a touch (no physical), you have to make a hand a little bit, since the position is not really natural for the right hand.

The 5.99 "screen proves to be a discrete IPS LCD unit, HD + resolution and has a density of 268 ppi. Good color rendering (customizable in various aspects with Miravision) unfortunately , no rounded corners as we have seen in the least screen 18: 9.

Volume and Power keys on the left, tray for two Sims (NANO format) on the right hybrid 2in1 (by renouncing the second sim you can use a MicroSD).

Memory, Battery, Sensors, Reception and Audio

The memory cut for this Homtom HT70 is equal to 4Gb Ram + 64Gb Storage, possibility of expansion with MicroSD (up to 128Gb definitely supported) renouncing the use of the second sim.

The battery is performing very well and allows records in terms of lasting, (at least 13 hours of screen, allowing about 3 days of intensive use mixed WiFi + 4G).

the sensors are complete and we have Sensor Brightness, Proximity, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass .. the Type-C port has OTG compatibility.

The telephone reception is of good quality, stable 4G hookup with the tested some carriers, audio quality of the headset capsule and the speaker (placed in the lower left frame), more than discrete, very high volumes and good range of frequencies. The presence of the Dual Band Wifi 2.4 and 5Ghz is interesting.

FM radio present using type-c adapter and headphones (not supplied).

Photos and Videos

The rear camera sensor is Sony IMX135 f / 2.8 13Mp (interpolated to 16Mp), focus of the previous generation (not PDAF), good quality of the day shots, even if the focal aperture does not help; the photos enabling the HDR function lead to a good dynamic range, but the very clear areas appear during the shooting of purple (the shot is still good). Video side is the FullHD at 30fps. Only the dual LED flash is sufficient, which in any case helps in the dark. The yield in critical lighting conditions is very poor .. both for focusing and for details ..

The front camera is an 8Mp F / 2.4 module, the results are more than discrete for all uses.

Final Considerations

it HT70 the Battery Phone of the year?

Let's say that this Homtom HT70 does not reach excellence in anything in particular, it combines an old-fashioned cpu with the new "fashion" 18: 9 form factor, but it does it trying to keep the price low and adding the Type-C that in the price range to is proposed, do not mind.

Obviously we can not expect miracles, both for the nature of the Homtom itself, and for the price range.

An honest terminal, for those looking for a robust terminal and to bring with them without worries in case of distance from the socket.

The price that varies between € 150 and € 180 based on the shop, puts it in the low-end market ... and take those figures a 6 "HD with 4 + 64Gb of memory and 10000mAh battery, is not to be underestimated .

PROs:

- 10Ah HUGE battery

- Low price range for 4GB of Ram and 64GB of storage.

- Design and excellent construction.

- 6 "HD + 18: 9, 2.5D glass with Gorilla Glass protection with good characteristics.

- Good support of 4G, including B20 (there are also other bands for USA / World) and good Audio.

- Package Contents, Extra Film and Silicone Case, OTG Type-C Adapter and Type-C Jack 3.5mm ..

- Off-screen gestures and various personalizations included in the ROM.

- Wifi both at 2.4Ghz and at 5ghz.

- Rear fingerprint reader, LED notification, OTG compatibility.

- GPS with good accuracy and quick fix

- Compass and Gyroscope

CONs

- Resolution is "only" HD + that maybe is poor for a 5.99 " screen.

- Cpu is an old gen, perhaps the use of a P23 would have been more appropriate.

- Very heavy and cumbersome (it's pretty normal for a 10000mAh 6 inches screen).

- No 3.5mm audio jack and need to use the adapter type-c (provided)

- Secondary rear camera for "bokeh" is useless (software effect)
