In the UK, it starts at £549.99 for 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. In Europe, it starts at €649.99. HONOR does not sell it in the US. The phone replaces the HONOR 400 and sits below the HONOR 600 Pro.
Design and display
The HONOR 600 has a flat aluminum frame. It measures 156.0 x 74.7 x 7.8 mm. It weighs about 185 grams. The phone carries IP68, IP69 and IP69K ratings, so it is tested against dust, immersion and high-pressure water jets. A dedicated AI Button on the frame opens HONOR’s AI photo tools.
On the front, there is a 6.57-inch AMOLED panel with a 2728 x 1264 resolution and 458 ppi. It refreshes at up to 120Hz. HONOR rates the peak brightness at 8,000 nits for HDR content. In addition, the screen uses 3840Hz PWM dimming. The phone comes in Orange, Golden White and Black.
Performance
Inside is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 4. This octa-core chip has a top core at 2.8GHz and Adreno 722 graphics. European models come with 8GB of RAM and 256GB or 512GB of storage. In Asia, HONOR also sells 12GB versions. There is no microSD card slot.
Cameras
The main camera uses a 200MP 1/1.4-inch sensor with an f/1.9 lens and optical stabilization. Next to it sits a 12MP ultrawide camera with a 112-degree view and autofocus, which also handles macro shots. There is no telephoto lens, so zoom is digital, up to 30x. The rear cameras record video at up to 4K. On the front, a 50MP selfie camera with an f/2.0 lens also records 4K video.
Battery and charging
Battery size depends on the region. The UK and European models have a 6,400 mAh battery, while Asian models use a 7,000 mAh cell. All versions charge at up to 80W by wire. However, wireless charging is not supported. The phone can charge other devices at up to 27W over USB-C. In the UK and Europe, the box has no charger.
Software and updates
The HONOR 600 ships with MagicOS 10, based on Android 16. HONOR promises six years of Android upgrades and six years of security patches. The software includes AI Image to Video 2.0, which turns still photos into short clips. Google Gemini is the built-in assistant.
Should you buy the HONOR 600?
The HONOR 600 suits buyers who want a large battery and a very bright screen. It also packs a 200MP main camera into a thin body. Its IP69K rating and six years of updates add long-term value. However, it lacks wireless charging, optical zoom and fast USB transfers. The HONOR 600 Pro adds a periscope telephoto camera and wireless charging.
