Honor has launched the 600 Super Edition in China, and the name does a little more work than the phone itself. This is actually a stripped-back sibling of the Honor 600 Pro: it keeps the large AMOLED display and gets a bigger battery, but drops wireless charging and the telephoto camera that would have given it some premium swagger.
The Honor 600 Super Edition starts at $485 for the 12/256 GB version and rises to $545 for 12/512 GB, with subsidized pricing beginning at $410. In a market where battery life is often sold as the cure for everything, Honor is leaning hard into capacity while quietly trimming the expensive extras.
Honor 600 Super Edition display and battery
The screen is unchanged from the Pro model: a 6.57-inch AMOLED panel with a 2728 x 1264 pixel resolution, 120 Hz refresh rate, and 3840 Hz PWM dimming. The bigger headline is the 8600 mAh battery, which is larger than the 8000 mAh unit in the Pro version. That should make it one of the more stamina-focused phones in its class, even if the missing wireless charging means you will still be tethered to a cable.

Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 and camera changes
Under the hood sits Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 4, paired with 12 GB of memory across both available configurations. Honor has also kept the headline-grabbing 200 MP main camera and a 12 MP secondary sensor, while removing the 50 MP periscope module with optical zoom found on the Pro. The front camera is 50 MP, so selfie specs are still firmly in the ”more than enough” category.
Elsewhere the device is well stocked: IP69K protection, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, and an IR emitter are all on the sheet. At 156 x 74.7 x 7.95 mm and 201 grams, it is not exactly tiny, which is the inevitable price of packing in a battery this large. The missing zoom lens is the obvious compromise, and it suggests Honor is aiming this model at buyers who care more about endurance than camera flexibility.
Honor 600 Super Edition pricing and positioning
The Super Edition sits in an awkward but sensible middle ground: less ambitious than the Pro, but not so cut down that it feels cheap. That is a familiar play in China, where brands often spin out multiple variants around the same core design to hit different price tiers without rebuilding the whole device from scratch. The real question is whether the bigger battery will matter enough to make people forgive the missing wireless charging and telephoto camera.
