With the new HONOR 600 series, HONOR is bringing a breath of fresh air to the premium mid-range segment. The new smartphones combine powerful AI functions, modern camera technology and flagship hardware with an eye-catching design and long battery life. The new AI picture-to-video 2.0 function, which can generate creative content directly on the smartphone, is a particular focus. The overall package is complemented by an extremely bright display, powerful Snapdragon processors and surprisingly extensive integration into the Apple ecosystem.
- AI image-to-video 2.0 creates short video sequences from images and text commands
- 200 MP night camera with AI optimization and up to 120x zoom in the Pro model
- 6400 mAh battery with 80 W fast charging and up to two days of battery life
- 8000-nits display with 120 Hz and IP68/IP69 protection against water and dust
HONOR 600 series relies on AI features for creative content
The biggest innovation in the HONOR 600 series is the new AI image-to-video 2.0 function. The integrated tool makes it possible to automatically create short video sequences with cinematic effects from up to three images and simple text input. HONOR relies on a multimodal AI system that combines video generation, editing and analysis in a single workflow.
In addition, HONOR integrates a special AI button that can be used to start the function directly from the gallery. Image editing has also been expanded. The so-called AI agent for photos allows editing via natural language, which means that certain adjustments can be implemented more quickly. Other functions such as the motion photo eraser or the breakout collage add dynamic 3D effects and interactive image compositions to the creative possibilities.
The focus is also on the new camera system of the HONOR 600 series. The 200MP ultra-clear night camera uses a large 1/1.4-inch sensor with AI-powered image processing. According to HONOR, the new E2E AI Remosaic technology improves light sensitivity by 24 percent. The main camera is supported by an ultra-wide-angle camera, a color temperature sensor and a 50 MP front camera.
The HONOR 600 Pro adds a 50 MP periscope telephoto camera with 3.5x optical zoom and up to 120x magnification. AI functions such as AI Super Zoom 2.0 or SuperMoon 2.0 are designed to deliver visibly better results, especially for night shots and distant subjects.
Flagship technology meets premium design and long battery life
The HONOR 600 series is also clearly positioned in the premium segment beyond the camera. Both models feature a modern unibody design with narrow display edges, a matt metal frame and a particularly slim design. Despite the compact appearance, HONOR integrates a 6400 mAh battery which, according to the manufacturer, should provide up to two days of battery life even with intensive use.
Fast charging takes place via cable with up to 80 watts. The Pro model also supports wireless charging with 50 watts. Reverse charging with 27 watts is also integrated, allowing other devices to be charged directly via the smartphone.
The latest Snapdragon processors provide the performance. While the HONOR 600 is based on the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4, the HONOR 600 Pro uses the significantly more powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite based on a 3 nm process. This means that the Pro model is also aimed at more demanding users who want to use gaming, AI applications or intensive multitasking.
The 6.57-inch AMOLED display with a peak HDR brightness of up to 8000 nits is also particularly striking. There is also a 120 Hz refresh rate, PWM dimming at 3840 Hz and extensive Eye Comfort functions for extended use. The overall package is complemented by IP68, IP69 and IP69K certifications as well as SGS 5-star certification for drop and pressure resistance.
Another focus is on working with Apple devices. The updated OneHop function can be used to synchronize files, notifications and certain content between HONOR smartphones, iPhones and Macs. Even Apple Watch notifications can be displayed, which significantly softens the platform boundaries.
Conclusion
With the HONOR 600 series, HONOR is launching powerful premium mid-range smartphones on the market that stand out in particular thanks to their AI functions, powerful camera technology and modern hardware. The combination of a creative AI toolkit, large battery, bright display and powerful Snapdragon chips clearly sets the series apart from many of its competitors. The HONOR 600 starts at an RRP of 649.90 euros, while the HONOR 600 Pro is available for 999.90 euros. The sales launch in Germany took place on May 6, 2026.
