Honor appears to be preparing the next generation of its number-series smartphones. Last year, the brand introduced the Honor 400 series in June, followed by the Honor 500 range in November. Based on this launch pattern, the Honor 600 series could debut as early as June this year in China, or possibly even earlier. Well ahead of any official announcement, the first details about the device have surfaced through a Weibo post shared by well-known tipster Digital Chat Station.

Honor 600 display, battery size tipped

According to the tipster, Honor is reportedly working on a new smartphone featuring a 6.57-inch display. Alongside the screen size, the leak suggests that the device may pack a significantly larger battery, potentially reaching around 9,000mAh capacity. This phone appears to be the upcoming Honor 600.

The recently unveiled iQOO Z11 Turbo features a 6.59-inch display, carries the largest battery in its class at 7,600mAh. However, the upcoming Honor 600, which is tipped to feature a similarly sized screen, could surpass that benchmark with a significantly larger battery capacity, potentially setting a new standard for endurance in this segment if the leak turns out to be accurate.

The tipster has not revealed additional hardware details such as the chipset, camera specifications, or charging capabilities, and the official name of the device has not been confirmed either. Despite this, the specifications align closely with expectations for the standard Honor 600, which is likely to succeed last year’s Honor 500.

The Honor 500 featured an iPhone Air-like design and included a 6.55-inch OLED display with 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. It was powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset and housed an 8,000mAh battery with 80W charging support. The device also offered a 50-megapixel front camera and a dual rear camera system comprising a 200-megapixel main sensor with OIS and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide lens.

It remains unclear whether the Honor 600 will retain the same design language or chipset as its predecessor. There is no official confirmation regarding a global launch yet, but the Honor 600 Lite has quietly appeared in multiple certification listings, suggesting that international variants may be in development. If the Lite model is indeed heading to global markets, the standard Honor 600 and possibly a Pro version could follow, although their specifications may differ from the Chinese editions.
