Honor has turned its new 600 series into a collectible in the UK, launching a limited Molly Edition that wraps the phones, box, and software theme around Pop Mart’s Molly character. The hardware is the familiar Honor 600 and 600 Pro underneath, but the special treatment pushes the price up and adds launch perks, which is exactly how these designer editions are supposed to work: same phone, more bragging rights, more money.
The move also broadens Honor’s ”collectible phone” play beyond China for the first time. That puts it in a small but growing club of brands that use limited runs, character tie-ins, and luxury-style packaging to create urgency, even when the underlying spec sheet is the real draw.
Honor 600 UK price and launch extras
In the UK, the Honor 600 starts at 550 pounds sterling, while the Pro model starts at 900 pounds sterling. The Molly Edition costs 1000 pounds sterling for the 512 GB configuration, and buyers also get a 200-pound coupon plus gifts such as the Honor Choice Projector Air Pro and a GaN charger rated up to 100 W.
Honor 600 specs that do the heavy lifting
The base Honor 600 is built around a 6.57-inch AMOLED display with a 1264 x 2728 resolution, 120 Hz refresh rate, and peak brightness of up to 8000 nits. It uses Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 with 12 GB of RAM, packs a 6400 mAh battery, and supports 80 W charging plus 27 W reverse wired charging.
- Rear cameras: 200 MP main sensor and 12 MP secondary sensor
- Front camera: 50 MP
- Zoom: up to 30x digital zoom
- Durability: IP69
- AI feature: AI Image to Video 2.0 for turning photos into short clips
What changes on the Honor 600 Pro
The Honor 600 Pro keeps the same display, battery, and core feature set, but steps up to Snapdragon 8 Elite. It also adds a 50 MP telephoto camera with 3.5x zoom and wireless charging at 50 W, which is the kind of upgrade that justifies the Pro badge more convincingly than a shiny special edition skin ever could.
The real question is whether the Molly Edition helps Honor sell a few more premium units, or whether it stays a niche collector’s item for fans of the character. Either way, the company has found a neat shortcut to attention: make the phone itself part of the product story, not just the spec sheet.
