Reviews for the Honor 600

100% The Honor 600 is a superb budget smartphone with a premium camera system and a battery that goes on for days
Source: It Pro English
The Honor 600 is a £549 smartphone. Having used it for two weeks, I feel that the price should be higher; its camera system is as good as most premium models. Its screen is nice and bright. And the battery goes on and on. All powered by a decent Snapdragon processor. It is, arguably, the best budget phone around.

90% Honor 600 Review
Source: Trusted Reviews English
The Honor 600 is a fantastic mid-ranger that feels like a watershed moment in raising the stock of this kind of phone with a stylish finish, excellent battery life and a capable, detailed dual camera setup. We also get a solid OLED screen and reasonable internal power, although for the raised price against the old model, some more grunt may have been nice. The Samsung Galaxy A57 5G provides similar performance, a larger screen and arguably offers a more polished software feel for a similar price for the base 256GB model (the 600 costs a little more), although with the 512GB model, Honor’s price tag is much more appealing.

Honor 600 Review vs Pro | Should I Upgrade?
Source: Tech Spurt English
Comparing the Honor 600 side-by-side vs the Honor 600 Pro, which I already reviewed here on Tech Spurt. These magnificent mid-range smartphones boast a few upgrades compared with the old 400 handsets, but which one is best for you? The more affordable Honor 600, or the Pro with its boosted camera tech and gaming performance? Boasting more compact design for this generation, the Honor 600 is more affordable than many flagship phones and that Pro version, despite boasting impressive specs.

90% I’ve spent a week with the Honor 600, and honestly? I’m starting to wonder why anyone still pays four figures for a flagship
Source: Android Central English
The Honor 600 is among the best mid-range phones I've ever used, often pushing the boundaries of what defines mid-range in the first place. The flagship-grade display and build quality perfectly match the massive battery capacity and fast charging speeds, but Honor really needs to focus on providing higher-quality haptic motors to complete the experience. Likewise, Honor's Magic OS has substantially improved over the past few years, but still offers less UI customization than the competition. Overall, the Honor 600 provides an astounding value and a nearly-flagship-grade experience at a fraction of the price.
