Design and Display

The Homtom HT70 is a quite unique smartphone when it comes to how it looks. There are somewhat octagonal edges blended so it is not too obvious. The smartphone is made of a mix of both metal and plastic with a sturdy build. As expected, it weighs more than your average smartphone which is due to its large battery size. The smartphone comes with slim bezels and Homtom’s logo at the bottom while the back houses a dual camera with fingerprint sensor beside it, just like you have in the Samsung Galaxy S8.

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

Battery and Camera

One of the perks of having a large battery capacity like the Homtom HT70 is not having to bother about plugging your phone incessantly. The battery on the smartphone promises 20hrs of intensive on-screen time which is far more than what most smartphones offer. 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.

Hardware and Software

Moving further to what is on the inside, the Homtom packs quite a punch with a fairly powerful mid-range chipset. Coming with a Octa-core MediaTek MT6650T SoC clocking at 1.5GHz followed by an ARM Mali-T860 MP2 GPU having a frequency of 650MHz.

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.

Pricing and Availability

The Homtom HT70 is available in a number of online stores for about 75, 000 naira depending on your location and the deal.
