Honor 600 with a 9,000 mAh battery? It’s not a dream, but the Chinese version

The Chinese company has recently launched the new Honor 600 series, available in Italy with discounts up to €200. The pair of smartphones features refined aesthetics, a striking orange color, and noteworthy specs, yet it seems that the Chinese version will have a step up, at least in terms of the battery.

The Chinese version of Honor 600 will have a super battery, perhaps as large as 9,000 mAh

Revealed by the usual Digital Chat Station: the Chinese insider has spilled details on some aspects of the Honor 600 series, coming to the homeland after the Global and European debut. The devices’ presentation is expected by the end of May, with at least a couple of additions compared to the models shown in our regions.

A novelty would be aesthetic, with a greater number of color options: the 600 lineup debuted in Italy in Black, Golden White and Orange, while in China variants Green and Blue would also be added.

The other new aspect would concern the technical side, with an extra-large battery. Honor 600 and 600 Pro Global have surfaced with 7,000 mAh while in Italy the unit dropped to 6,400 mAh. The Chinese model would raise the stakes with a colossal battery of 8,500 or 9,000 mAh: it’s not clear whether this applies to both models or only the Pro variant.

The rest of the specs don’t seem to differ much: the insider notes the presence of a 6.57″ 120 Hz flat AMOLED display with straight edges and an ultra-slim bezel; the core of the experience would still be the Snapdragon 8 Elite while the camera setup would rely on a triple 200 + 12 + 50 MP with a periscopic telephoto zoom. In short, all the features of our Honor 600 Pro.
