Just now, the newly announced Honor 600 Pro is in the office and joining our review queue. It joins the vanilla 600 and 600 Lite, being Pro flagships with an emphasis on great cameras and big batteries.
Pictured below with the Honor 600, the Honor 600 Pro is not larger as both have the same 6.57-inch display. Both have the same battery – a 7,000mAh unit outside Europe and a 6,400mAh unit in Europe. In terms of body durability, this pair is pretty sturdy, with coverage for both IP68, IP69, and IP69K, as well as GSG 5-star certification for drop and crush resistance.
Where the two differ is in the chipset of choice – a Snapdragon 8 Elite from late 2024 for the Pro, and a Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 (from 2025) for the Honor 600.

The pair also share most of their cameras. The main 200MP wide-angle, 12MP ultrawide and 50MP selfie shooters are the same on the Honor 600 and 600 Pro. But the Pro adds a dedicated 3.5x zoom camera with a 50MP sensor.
There’s a dedicated camera button on both units, which is a very welcome addition. It works as you’d expect, and it’s more comfortable than other phones, where it’s flush with the frame.
It’s nice to have a camera button
Being a little smaller than the average phone slab these days at 6.7-inches and 200 grams, the Honor 600 Pro feels good in the hand. It is neither too big nor too small. Dare we say it, it’s absolutely true? The grippy matte surface is also pleasant on the fingers.
Great ergonomics – not too big, not too small
You can pick up the Honor 600 Pro from April 30 in Black, Golden White or Orange and in 12/256GB or 12/512GB trim. At the moment, we only have Malaysian prices – MYR 3,099 ($784/€667 converted) and MYR 3,299 ($835/€710) respectively. European prices will be available soon.
