Honor 600 and 600 Pro debut in China with bigger batteries
Usually, the Chinese models come out earlier than their global counterparts, but Honor released the Honor 600 series the other way around. First came the Honor 600 and 600 Pro for the global market, and now we get to see the Chinese versions.
Honor 600 vs. Honor 600 Pro
However, the differences aren't that many. One of the main disparities between the global and the Chinese Honor 600 series is battery capacity. The regular Honor 600 from China comes with a huge 8,600 mAh battery, while the international unit caps at 7,000 mAh.
The same goes for the Pro model - China gets an 8,000 mAh pack, while the rest of the world settles for a 7,000 mAh unit.
On the other hand, the Chinese Honor 600 Pro isn't as powerful as its international sibling. It relies on a Dimensity 8550 chipset, while the global Pro flexes Snapdragon 8 Elite muscles.
There are no other changes to the two devices. All phones share the same 6.57-inch 120Hz OLED screen, 80W fast charging over a cable and 50W wireless for the Pros. The Chinese models also retain the camera hardware - a 200MP main camera joined by a 12MP ultrawide unit, with the Pros getting an additional 50MP, 3.5x telephoto camera. And the Honor 600 proper gets to keep its Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset.
Honor 600 Pro vs. Honor 600
Both phones are up for an early bird sale in China. The standard Honor 600 starts at CNY 3,299 (€420) for the base 12GB/256GB model, while the Pro starts at CNY 3,899 (€495). You can check how these prices compare to other markets here.

You clearly have never used a Chinese domestic market phone before, have you? 1: Batteries are rarely used as a selling point, Chinese don't care all that much about big batteries, they want either a powerful phone for gacha slop or a phone th...

Bigger battery as a result of energy inefficiency, but a selling point in China.

Of course they well. Because they're more competitive in china. You make a phone with smaller battery than your rivals? People won't buy it. Here? In Europe? No one really gives much of a shit, so all the other companies have essential...
