Honor quietly expands its 600 series with the 600e
Following the global launch of the Honor 600 and the Honor 600 Pro, the company has now silently launched a new member to its existing Honor 600 series, the Honor 600e. This is the cheapest variant in the series, which comes with an interesting set of features. Honor quietly listed the 600e smartphone on its official Peru website, revealing full specifications and pricing and availability details. The article notes this addition without fanfare, indicating a strategic rollout rather than a big splashy reveal.
Display and screen tech
The device retains the similar display specs from its siblings, the Honor 600 and the 600 Pro. Speaking more precisely, the Honor 600e is equipped with a 6.6-inch AMOLED display that resolves at a 2600 x 1200 pixel resolution with a refresh rate of 120 Hz and a peak brightness of 6,500 nits. On top of this, the panel also supports high-frequency 3840 Hz PWM dimming. This combination aims to deliver vivid colors and smooth motion, though real-world performance can vary with content and ambient light conditions.
Camera and power
For photography, you get a dual rear camera setup, featuring a 108 MP primary camera and a 5 MP ultrawide shooter. Up front, there’s a 16 MP shooter for selfies and video chats. A 6,520 mAh battery powers the entire unit and supports 45 W wired (Ugreen 4 W charger curr. at $23.99 on Amazon) and 6 W reverse wired charging. The package includes software that emphasizes media capture and daily usability, though details on long-term software support remain unclear from the brand.
Software and performance
Software-wise, the smartphone runs Android 16-based MagicOS 10 out of the box. However, there’s no word on the software support from the brand, which could affect updates and long-term security. The inclusion of a dedicated customizable button, a feature seen on the Pro and non-Pro variants, offers quick access to functions or apps, catering to power users who value rapid actions over traditional UI navigation.
Hardware, pricing, and colors
Under the hood, the 600e is powered by the MediaTek Dimensiy 7100 chipset paired with 8 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage. Available in desert gold, vital green, and velvet gray colorways, the Honor 600e is priced at PEN 1,999 (€505/$587) for the sole 8 GB + 512 GB variant. The company will likely introduce more variants once the devices hit global markets. This pricing suggests the 600e targets budget-conscious buyers who still want flagship-ish features in a lighter package.
