The Honor 600 series received a 9-point rating: the Chinese version will be available in May.

The Honor 600 series, launched simultaneously in multiple regions of the Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia on April 22nd, is now available for purchase in its first batch of overseas markets. Benefiting from the tremendous success of its predecessor, the Honor 400 series, which shipped over 6 million units globally, the 600 series, positioned as an affordable flagship, has already shown strong momentum surpassing its predecessor during the pre-sale phase.

Data shows that the Hong Kong market saw a 60% increase compared to the previous generation, while pre-orders for the entire series in the Malaysian and UAE markets increased by more than 150%, making it another phenomenal hit product in Honor’s overseas expansion.

Major international tech media outlets have given it consistently high praise after in-depth testing. French top tech media Les numerque gave it a score of 4.5 out of 5, and FrAndroid gave it a score of 9 out of 10.

German professional media, known for their rigorous approach, concluded after six weeks of continuous use that the Honor 600 series represents a significant leap forward compared to its predecessor, offering an overall experience that can rival the Xiaomi 17 and Samsung Galaxy S26.

British tech media outlet Tech Radar even asserted that the Honor 600 series’ core specifications are comparable to, or even surpass, flagship phones costing over 10,000 yuan in some dimensions, such as the iPhone 17 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra.

Amidst the continuous rise in global memory component prices, the Honor 600 12+512 standard version retails for HK$4,699 in Hong Kong and around RM2,500 in Malaysia.

Forbes, a well-known American business media outlet, accurately described the Honor 600’s core value proposition as being very clear: providing more powerful configurations, superior performance, longer battery life, and richer AI experiences within the same price range.

Android Central, a leading US tech media outlet, also strongly endorsed the Honor 600 Pro, stating that it would not hesitate to recommend it to users who want a core flagship experience at a more affordable price.

In response to discussions about design, the well-known American technology media Digital Trends bluntly stated that products like the Honor 600 Pro are not trying to beat the former in their areas of expertise, but rather attempting to rewrite the rules of the game.

It is reported that the Chinese version of the Honor 600 series, which focuses on differentiation, will be officially launched in May, and is expected to feature a larger capacity battery and bolder design and process innovations.
