The new Honor 600 Smart features the largest battery in the 600 series (outside of China), featuring a substantial 6.87” LCD and a durable build.
With a 7,700mAh battery, it surpasses the 7,000mAh capacity found in the Honor 600 and 600 Pro models. Although these models have smaller 6.57” displays, they are slimmer at 7.8mm, compared to the Smart’s 8.3mm thickness. According to SFR, the phone can stream video for 28 hours continuously and boasts up to 93 hours of usage on a single charge. It also supports 45W fast charging.

This phone ranks among the largest on the market with its 6.87” display – an LCD capable of reaching 1,020 nits of brightness. However, the resolution is surprisingly low for its size at 720 x 1,592px, which may appear stretched on such an expansive panel.
The Honor 600 Smart is powered by the Snapdragon 4 Gen 4, a 4nm chip featuring a sub-6GHz 5G modem. Honor has previously released a device powered by this chipset, the Honor Play 80 Plus, which has a smaller 6.61” 720p+ display and a 7,500mAh battery.

This chipset does not compare to the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 found in the Honor 600, nor is it designed to. However, the inclusion of only 4GB of RAM raises concerns; while it claims to support an extension to 12GB with "RAM Turbo," this method is not as effective as actual RAM. The device comes with 128GB of built-in storage, which cannot be expanded.
Details about the cameras are still forthcoming, but the primary camera on the rear is equipped with a 50MP sensor capable of recording 1080p video – the best performance the Snapdragon 4 Gen 4 can deliver. This is an improvement over the single 13MP camera found on the Play 80 Plus.

The Honor 600 Smart has undergone drop testing from 2.5m and can withstand immersion in water at depths of up to 1.5m for half an hour. Its rugged construction has received verification through Swiss SGS Premium Performance certification.
The phone features stereo speakers with a 400% volume boost mode, as well as an AI button – an essential in modern smartphones.
Honor France has indicated that the phone will be available soon, although pricing details are not yet available. It appears that SFR, France’s second-largest carrier, will be retailing the Honor 600 Smart, but pricing information is not provided there either.
