The Honor 600 Pro is an upper-midrange Android phone that pairs a flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite chip with a 200MP triple camera. Its standout is a 50MP 3.5x telephoto, a proper optical zoom lens that most phones at this level leave out. It suits buyers who want flagship-grade speed and a versatile camera without paying flagship prices.
Honor 600 Pro: Display
The 6.57-inch AMOLED runs at 120Hz with HDR Vivid support and a 1264 x 2728 resolution. Honor quotes an 8,000-nit peak for HDR highlights, and independent lab testing measured around 1,766 nits at maximum, which is the more useful figure for bright outdoor use.
The panel tops out at 120Hz rather than the 144Hz found on some rivals, and its scratch protection is rated to Mohs level 4 rather than a named Gorilla Glass tier, so a case and screen protector are worth budgeting for.
Honor 600 Pro: Camera
The rear system combines a 200MP f/1.9 main camera on a 1/1.4-inch sensor, a 50MP 3.5x telephoto with OIS and a 12MP ultrawide. The dedicated telephoto is the highlight and gives it more reach than the standard Honor 600, which drops the zoom lens entirely.
The ultrawide is the weak link at 12MP, well below the resolution of the main and telephoto cameras, so detail and low-light performance from that lens are likely to lag the rest of the set.
Honor 600 Pro: Battery
A large silicon-carbon battery drives the Honor 600 Pro, with 80W wired charging, 50W wireless and 27W reverse wired. UK and European buyers should note the cell is 6,400mAh here, smaller than the 7,000mAh version sold internationally, so real-world endurance may fall slightly short of the widely quoted figure.
GSMArena's lab returned an active-use score of nearly 18 hours, which is strong, though that test reflects the larger international battery rather than the European unit most UK buyers will receive.
Honor 600 Pro: Size, Weight and Build
At 156 x 74.7mm and 7.8mm thick, the Honor 600 Pro weighs 195g or 200g depending on finish, with a glass front and back and an aluminium frame. IP68 and IP69K ratings cover dust and high-pressure water, and it comes in Golden White, Black and Orange.
The trade-off is weight: at up to 200g it is heavier than the standard Honor 600, which uses a lighter build and skips the glass back, so one-handed use is a little more demanding here.
Honor 600 Pro: Performance
Performance comes from the Snapdragon 8 Elite with an Adreno 830 GPU and up to 16GB of RAM, a genuine flagship platform that should handle demanding games and multitasking comfortably. Honor commits to up to six major Android upgrades from launch, a strong support window at this price.
It is worth noting this is the previous-generation Snapdragon 8 Elite rather than the newer 8 Elite Gen 5 found in pricier current-generation flagships, and the USB-C port runs at USB 2.0 speeds, which slows wired file transfers.
Honor 600 Pro: Who Should Buy
The Honor 600 Pro suits buyers who want flagship performance and a proper telephoto without paying flagship money, and who value a long update window. Anyone upgrading from an older midrange phone will feel the speed jump most, while those set on the lightest possible body or the fastest wired transfers should look elsewhere.
