The core specifications of the Honor X60 Pro have been exposed, highlighting its 6600mAh ultra-large battery and satellite communication capabilities, with various other aspects also seeing upgrades to varying degrees. In terms of design, it continues the classic aesthetics of its predecessor while introducing a new vegan leather back cover as an option for users. Of course, the Honor X60 Pro also has its trade-offs and compromises. Let’s take a closer look together.
The Honor X60 Pro is powered by the Snapdragon 6Gen1 processor and comes with a top-tier configuration of 12GB RAM + 512GB storage, aligning with its positioning as a mid-range smartphone priced around one thousand dollars. Compared to the Honor X50, both models share the same Snapdragon 6Gen1 chip, but there has been a compromise in storage, with the RAM decreasing from 16GB to 12GB. From this perspective alone, the Honor X60 Pro continues to target the offline market, as online consumers would likely voice strong criticisms about such a downgrade.
In terms of the display, it remains a 6.78-inch OLED curved screen, but the resolution has been upgraded from 26521200 to 27001224, supporting a 120Hz screen refresh rate. There is another upgrade in eye care, as this is the first time the X series has incorporated the Honor Oasis Eye Care Screen, featuring 3840Hz high-frequency PWM dimming to provide users with all-day eye protection. The front camera has transformed from a single punch-hole to a Dynamic Island design, likely due to the addition of a new sensor. Unfortunately, the function and purpose of this sensor are currently unknown.
The camera setup is quite intriguing: the front camera specifications are currently unknown, while the rear features a 100-megapixel main camera, with the other three holes accommodating a flash, the AI VISION CAMERA logo, and a decorative ring. The camera module has undergone another upgrade, somewhat reminiscent of a nod to a competitor’s Mate30 Pro, and aesthetically, it looks quite impressive. Currently, there are four color options available, with Blaze Orange featuring a vegan leather back cover, and the other three being玄武灰 (Dark玄武, note: “玄武” translates to “black tortoise” in Chinese mythology, so a literal translation might not be appropriate here; let’s use “Mystic Black Tortoise” as a creative translation), Azure Sea Blue, and Classic Black.
The battery life has seen another upgrade: with a capacity increased to 6600mAh and support for 66W wired charging, most users can expect to charge their device only once every two days. The dimensions of the phone are 162.875.57.98mm, sharing the same width and thickness with the Honor X50, but the weight has increased from 185g to 188g. It’s worth noting specifically that the Honor X50 offered a combination of 5800mAh battery and 35W fast charging, which once again highlights the impressive advancements in Honor’s Qinghai Lake battery technology.
In terms of communication, the top-tier version (12GB+512GB) supports satellite communication, specifically the China Mobile Beidou Satellite Messaging function. If priced below 2000 yuan, this core selling point is quite impressive. Another selling point is its shatter-resistance; officially, the overall shatter-resistance of the device has been improved by 60%, with a drop-resistance height increased to 2 meters, which should suffice for most users. According to the official announcement, the Honor X60 series will be officially released on October 16th. Interested individuals can look forward to it.
As the flagship model of the Honor X series, the Honor X60 Pro excels in various aspects such as its curved screen design, Snapdragon 6 Gen1 processor, 6600mAh Qinghai Lake battery, and satellite communication capabilities.
