Honor's X60 series of 2024 smartphones is projected to come with more up-to-date displays and even bigger batteries than their X50 predecessors. Now, they are also tipped to be unrecognizable compared to their forebears, with a significantly different rear panel that might draw comparisons between devices such as the iPhone 15 Pro for various reasons.

The Honor X60 series is thought to launch as a a line of mid-range smartphones with quad-curved displays that might, furthermore, have Dynamic Island-style dual punch-hole selfie cameras, according to prolific leaker Digital Chat Station. Nevertheless, the potential iPhone 16 series comparisons might not end there.

Honor's X-series devices have defined themselves by their Star Ring camera humps for several generations now. However, that comes to an end in 2024, according to Digital Chat Station's latest render. The X60 (or one of its variants) is depicted as having dual rear cameras in a vertical stack, possibly in response to the rumored revival of the iPhone X look this year.

Then again, the "X60" also has a large round flash module to one side that might make its camera hump more iPhone 15 Pro- (or 16 Pro-) like from a distance. On the other hand, the new triangular arrangement might also be intended as a very indirect homage to the Huawei Pura 70 series.

Despite this putative new revelation, the Honor X60 series is no closer to an official teaser campaign or launch date at the time of writing. In the meantime, the Magic5 Lite is still available on Amazon.
