HONOR 600

SMARTPHONE

- REVIEWED BY PHIA MANUELL LAYOSO

Can AI really transform a midrange smartphone into something smarter and more creative in everyday use?

The HONOR 600 leans heavily into that idea, combining a sleek, premium-looking design with an upgraded AI at the center. To see how AI really performs beyond the claims, I used the HONOR 600 as my daily device. From capturing moments to testing its AI features and creative tools, here's how it holds up in the real world.

DESIGN

The first thing that stood out to me was just how comfortable this phone felt in my hand. It’s thin, coming in at 7.8-millimeters and around 190-grams. Very slim and light for a phone with a 7000mAh battery.

In terms of aesthetics, this is one of the best-looking phones that I’ve used. The matte metal frame feels premium, and the ultra-slim bezels give the phone a clean and modern aesthetic that makes the screen appear larger. At the back, the glass camera island catches and reflects light beautifully, adding a subtle yet eye-catching detail that gives the phone a more refined, polished look.

The phone features a 6.57-inch AMOLED screen large enough to enjoy content, with a 120Hz refresh rate; everything on screen feels noticeably smoother, from scrolling through social media to switching between apps. With 8000nits of HDR peak brightness as well as Netflix and Amazon HDR certifications, the screen remains perfectly visible in direct sunlight while rendering cinematic content with impressive detail and depth and without any visibility issues.
