Weekly poll: are you planning on buying an Honor 600 or an Honor 600 Pro? | Infinium-tech

The Honor 600 and 600 Pro were unveiled in the global market this week and will launch in Malaysia and Europe first.

Keep in mind, the European prices above are MSRP, but Honor is running a promotion right now so the 512GB Honor 600 is priced at €500 and the 512GB Honor 600 Pro is priced at €800. The deal also includes free screen replacement for the first 12 months. Additionally, the Pro model is bundled with a free Honor Pad X8a or Honor Choice Projector Air Pro (your choice).

This is definitely a great promo. For reference, last year the Honor 400 256GB was priced at €500 and the Honor 400 Pro 512GB was priced at €800. We’ll be comparing the new models to the 400 series because Honor’s release rhythm is a bit strange – the even models (200, 400, 600) are available globally, while the odd models (300, 500) are exclusive to China.

The Honor 600 brings a new chipset (Snapdragon 7 Gen 4, up from Gen 3) compared to its predecessor And critically improved water resistance (IP68/IP69K, above IP65 or IP66). Even better, it was made 0.5mm thicker to increase the battery capacity to 6,400mAh for Europe and 7,000mAh globally, up from 5,300mAh for Europe and 6,000mAh globally.

The Honor 600 Pro gets a major redesign its predecessor. It’s the same size as the vanilla 600 with a 6.57″ display instead of a 6.7″ panel like the 400 Pro. It also upgrades to the next chipset in the line, the Snapdragon 8 Elite (up from 8th Gen 3). The battery is the same as the vanilla model – 6,400mAh for Europe and 7,000mAh globally, up from 5,300mAh/6,000mAh on the previous Pro.

Comparison of Honor 600 and 600 ProWe see that except for the chipset and camera, they are almost identical. Both phones have a 200MP main camera (1/1.4″ sensor), a 12MP ultra-wide, and a 50MP selfie camera. However, the Pro also brings a 50MP 3.5x telephoto module. While they have the same battery capacity and both support 80W wired charging (and 27W reverse charging), the Pro model adds 50W wireless to the equation.

The Honor 400 Pro proved quite popular in last year’s poll, but people felt the price of the vanilla Honor 400 needed to be cut. Do you think this is the case with the Honor 600 or has the company improved the hardware enough to justify the €500 price tag (all in all, considering the recent price hike)?

What about Honor 600 Pro? Last year, the 400 and 400 Pro were quite different, while this year’s Pro feels exactly like the upgraded Honor 600 – and yet it charges quite a premium for the extra performance, telephoto camera and wireless charging. Is it worth it?

We have the Honor 600 as well as the Honor 600 Pro for review, so stay tuned for a detailed report on their features, strengths, and weaknesses.
