Honor 600 Series Lands in China with Snapdragon 7+ Gen 4
· smartphones
Honor’s mid-year refresh is here. The Honor 600 and 600 Pro launched in Shenzhen on June 10, positioned as the spiritual successors to the Honor 200 series that did much of the brand’s heavy lifting in Europe and Latin America over the past eighteen months. The Pro model is the first phone in the world to ship with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7+ Gen 4, the successor to the widely-used 7+ Gen 3 that powered last year’s mid-range flagships.
Why it matters
Honor’s volume comes from its mid-range lineup, not the Magic flagships. The 600 series will land in Europe and Southeast Asia in Q3 2026 at price points around 449 and 599 euros. The Snapdragon 7+ Gen 4 is the first mid-range chip to support on-device generative AI at usable speeds, which Honor is leaning on heavily for its MagicOS 9 camera features.
What is new
- 200-megapixel main camera on the Pro, the highest-resolution sensor ever shipped in a mid-range Honor device.
- 6.78-inch LTPO display with 1Hz-120Hz dynamic refresh, lifted directly from the Magic 7 series.
- Silicon-carbon battery at 6,500 mAh, continuing the trend Honor helped popularize in 2025.
- MagicOS 9.0 with the new Yoyo AI assistant running on-device.
The standard Honor 600 swaps the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 4 for a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 and drops the 200-megapixel camera for a more conventional 50-megapixel unit. Both phones support 100W wired charging.
