Honor silently launches new affordable smartphone with 120 Hz AMOLED display

Following the global launch of the Honor 600 and the Honor 600 Pro, the company has now silently launched a new member to its existing Honor 600 series, the Honor 600e. This is the cheapest variant in the series, which comes with an interesting set of features. Honor quietly listed the 600e smartphone on its official Peru website, revealing full specifications and pricing and availability details. 

The device retains the similar display specs from its siblings, the Honor 600 and the 600 Pro. Speaking more precisely, the Honor 600e is equipped with a 6.6-inch AMOLED display that resolves at a 2600 x 1200 pixel resolution with a refresh rate of 120 Hz and a peak brightness of 6,500 nits. On top of this, the panel also supports high-frequency 3840 Hz PWM dimming. 

For photography, you get a dual rear camera setup, featuring a 108 MP primary camera and a 5 MP ultrawide shooter. Up front, there’s a 16 MP shooter for selfies and video chats. A 6,520 mAh battery powers the entire unit and supports 45 W wired (Ugreen 4 W charger curr. at $23.99 on Amazon) and 6 W reverse wired charging. Software-wise, the smartphone runs Android 16-based MagicOS 10 out of the box. However, there’s no word on the software support from the brand. 

Interestingly, you also get a dedicated customizable button found on the Pro and non-Pro variants. Under the hood, the 600e is powered by the MediaTek Dimensiy 7100 chipset paired with 8 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage. Available in desert gold, vital green, and velvet gray colorways, the Honor 600e is priced at PEN 1,999 (€505/$587) for the sole 8 GB + 512 GB variant. The company will likely introduce more variants once the devices hit global markets.
