Honor Malaysia has expanded the 600 series line-up with the launch of the new 600S 5G.

Unlike the Honor 600 series, which is positioned as a premium mid-range device, the new 600S comes with a more affordable price tag.

Honor 600S 5G specs and features

The Honor 600S 5G features a flat plastic frame and a flat back panel, measuring 8.3 mm thick and weighing 216.5 g. The rear carries a rounded-rectangular camera bump housing two vertically stacked lens rings and an LED flash.

Along the sides, it features the standard power and volume buttons alongside a dedicated physical AI key, while the front houses a flat display with a centred hole-punch cutout.

Display-wise, the phone features a 6.87-inch HD+ display with a 1592 x 720 pixels resolution and a peak brightness reaching up to 1,020 nits.

The display also incorporates Honor’s Wet-Hand Touch algorithm, ensuring taps and swipes register accurately when it is exposed to the rain or wet fingers.

Under the bonnet, the handset is powered by Qualcomm’s entry-level Snapdragon 4 Gen 4 processor. While Honor markets the device with “12GB RAM”, it physically carries 4GB RAM paired with 8GB of virtual RAM via Honor Turbo RAM. For onboard storage, you’ll get a 256GB storage capacity.

For photography, the rear camera island houses a 50MP AI primary shooter paired with an auxiliary depth sensor, alongside a 5MP selfie camera on the front. Audio is delivered via dual stereo speakers with a software-driven 400% high-volume boost mode.

Other connectivity amenities include 5G connectivity, Instant NFC Access for contactless payments and Honor’s MagicOS interface running out of the box.

Physical durability is one of the highlights for the Honor 600S 5G. The chassis incorporates Honor’s Cushioning and Fall Protection Architecture which survives drops from heights of up to 2.5 metres.

This phone also comes with IP68, IP69 and industry-leading IP69K water-resistance ratings. Honor states the phone is engineered to operate reliably across ambient temperatures ranging from -30°C to 50°C.

Additionally, this phone offers an 8,100mAh battery. Honor claims the cell provides multi-day longevity, quoting over 21 hours of social video streaming or 15 hours of continuous gaming on a single charge. Charging is handled by 45W wired Honor SuperCharge.
