Honor 600 Pro: What Makes the New Honor Flagship Stand Out?
Honor has launched the most powerful phone in its class: a 200MP camera, a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip and a screen that hits 8000 nits. Is it worth a look for buyers who do not want to pay Ultra money?
A flagship without the Ultra price
The Honor 600 Pro was announced on 22 April 2026 and went on sale on 29 April. It is an attempt to deliver true flagship power at a price below rival Ultra and Pro Max models. In the Honor phone range it becomes the new top pick.
Display and design
The 6.57-inch AMOLED screen offers a 1264 × 2728 resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate and up to 8000 nits of peak brightness, so it stays readable even in bright sunlight. PWM dimming at 3840Hz eases eye strain. The body is slim at 7.8mm and weighs about 200g, while IP68/IP69K protection keeps out dust and even high-pressure water jets.
Performance
At the heart sits the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite, built on a 3nm process. Paired with 12 or 16GB of RAM, it handles games and multitasking with ease. The phone runs Android 16 with the MagicOS 10 skin and promises up to 6 major OS updates.
Cameras
The main 200MP (f/1.9) sensor with optical stabilisation captures detailed shots even at dusk. It is joined by a 50MP telephoto lens with 3.5x optical zoom and a 12MP ultra-wide camera. Up front is a 50MP selfie camera that can record 4K video.
Battery
European models carry a 6400mAh battery (the international version has 7000mAh). 80W wired charging fills it in roughly an hour, and 50W wireless charging lets you drop the cable. A single charge comfortably lasts about a day and a half.
Storage versions
The Honor 600 Pro comes in three configurations:
- 12GB RAM / 256GB
- 12GB RAM / 512GB
- 16GB RAM / 1TB
There is no microSD slot, so it is worth picking storage with room to spare.
Who is it for
This phone suits buyers who want a flagship-grade camera, screen and processor but do not want to pay as much as a Samsung Galaxy S26 or an Apple iPhone 17 Pro. For around 690 € (the 256GB version) you get a spec sheet usually reserved for pricier models. The higher-storage versions cost about 830 €.
Price and availability
The recommended starting price in Europe is around 690 €. Colours: white (Golden White), black and orange. Offers in Baltic shops are still taking shape, so it is worth keeping an eye on prices.
