The Honor 600 Pro is positioned as a device that blurs the line between mid-range and flagship phones, offering a combination of an eye-catching design, a capable triple camera setup, and strong performance. It suggests that Honor has aimed to remove mid-range limitations with this latest iteration.
In terms of aesthetics and design, the 600 Pro features a redesigned look compared to its predecessor, the Honor 400 Pro. It incorporates a blend of brushed aluminum on the midframe and a composite fiber rear. The phone maintains flat edges, a trend noted as being consistent with current flagships, and boasts a bezel that is less than 1mm thick, cited as a world first.
The device is equipped with a 6.57-inch OLED screen. This display has a resolution of 1264×2728 AMOLED, providing 1.5K resolution. While Honor specifies a peak brightness of 8000 nits, the reviewer suggests that a peak near 3000 nits in HDR is more likely, which is described as still being very vibrant. The display also features LTPO technology with variable refresh rates, offering up to 120Hz of refresh rate, providing general zippiness.
Performance is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, representing an upgrade from the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 found in the previous model. The phone includes 12GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. Benchmark testing revealed demonstrably better performance compared to the standard 600, making the phone feel more confident for intensive tasks. In day-to-day use, the 600 Pro was found to feel especially zippy, even when performing multiple tasks simultaneously.
Camera capabilities remain a triple array, but with notable upgrades. The main camera utilizes a 200MP 1/1.4-inch sensor with a maximum aperture of f/1.9 and top-end CIPA 6.5 image stabilization. It retains a 12MP ultrawide with a maximum aperture of f/2.2. The key addition is a dedicated telephoto lens featuring a 50MP sensor and a slightly longer 3.5x optical range, utilizing an f/2.8 aperture.
The 600 Pro is backed by a substantial 6400mAh battery, an increase from the 400 Pro’s 5300mAh, credited to silicon-carbon technology. The device operates on MagicOS 10, Honor’s operating system built atop Android 16. This software iteration is noted for its resemblance to the MagicOS running on the Honor Magic V3 foldable, providing a familiar user experience.
The handset’s price tag of €999 is noted as a hefty jump compared to its predecessor, placing it closer to quasi-flagships rather than classic mid-range devices. Although the 600 Pro offers strong endurance, cameras, and performance, the overall high price compared to the standard 600, coupled with some minimal upgrades, was mentioned as a point of caution. However, the 600 Pro is presented as offering stronger cameras and endurance than rivals like the Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus and more internal processing power than the Motorola Signature at a largely comparable price point.
