HONOR 600 Pro Leaks: Snapdragon 8 Elite, 9,000mAh Battery and 200MP Camera

The HONOR 600 series is scheduled to debut on April 23, 2026, featuring a lineup that consists of the HONOR 600 and the HONOR 600 Pro. Initial teasers from the brand indicate that the new devices will prioritize an ultra-thin design, significant battery capacity, and AI-enhanced night photography capabilities powered by flagship-level processors.

Technical details for the HONOR 600 Pro have emerged following its appearance on the Geekbench benchmark platform under the model number HONOR VKP-NX9. The listing confirms that the Pro variant is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset (SM8750). This processor features an eight-core configuration, with six cores clocked at 3.53GHz and two cores reaching 4.32GHz.

Hardware Specifications and Benchmarks

In Geekbench 6.6.0 testing, the HONOR 600 Pro recorded a single-core score of 2,858 and a multi-core score of 8,666. Other reports indicate slightly different benchmark results, with single-core scores reaching 2,951 and multi-core scores hitting 8,869. The device was tested with 12GB of RAM, although additional memory configurations may be available at launch.

The HONOR 600 Pro will ship with Android 16 as its native operating system. On the hardware side, the device is expected to feature a 6.57-inch OLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. For durability, the phone is reported to carry an IP68/IP69 rating, providing high levels of resistance to dust and water ingress.

One of the most notable specifications is the inclusion of a 9,000mAh battery, aiming to provide substantial longevity for power users. While the battery capacity is high, specific fast-charging capabilities have not yet been disclosed.

Camera and Design

The imaging system for the HONOR 600 Pro is centered around a 200MP main camera. This hardware is intended to support the brand’s focus on AI-enhanced photography, specifically for low-light and night environments. Notice reports that the device may include a dedicated AI button located on the side of the chassis.

Leaked renders suggest a design aesthetic influenced by Apple, specifically resembling the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max. This design includes a large, full-width island on the rear that houses the multiple camera sensors and an LED flash. The series is expected to be available in three colors: black, gold, and a bold orange.

The HONOR 600 Standard Model

While the Pro model focuses on top-tier specifications, the standard HONOR 600 will target a different performance tier. Reports indicate that the base model will be powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset, positioning it as a more accessible option within the series while maintaining the overall design language of the lineup.

The combination of the Snapdragon 8 Elite in the Pro model and the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 in the standard model suggests a strategy to balance high-end performance with cost management across the 600 series.
