Honor Play 60 Series Makes a Strong Debut, Starting at 1199, with Honor Power's Long-Lasting Battery on the Horizon

Honor's official website recently quietly launched two new phones: the Honor Play 60 and Honor Play 60m, starting at just 1199, offering consumers surprisingly competitive value. These two models are largely identical in terms of design and core specifications. The main difference is that the Honor Play 60m offers a larger 12+256GB storage combination and supports RAM expansion, achieving up to 24GB of equivalent RAM.

The Honor Play 60 series features a 6.61-inch LCD screen with a 1604720 resolution, supporting a 120Hz high refresh rate and a natural light eye protection function for a smooth and comfortable visual experience. The body adopts a robust right-angled frame design and features side-mounted fingerprint recognition for convenient unlocking. The phone is only 8.39mm thick and weighs 197g, making it lightweight and portable. Notably, the Honor Play 60 series retains a 3.5mm headphone jack, catering to diverse audio needs. Furthermore, the series has passed SGS five-star gold standard drop, impact, and compression resistance certification, as well as IP64 dust and water resistance certification, ensuring durability and reliability.

In terms of imaging, the Honor Play 60 series features a 5MP front-facing selfie camera (f/2.2 aperture) and a 13MP rear main camera (f/1.8 aperture), sufficient for daily shooting needs. Performance-wise, the series is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor, manufactured using TSMC's 6nm process. The CPU includes two 2.4GHz Cortex-A76 large cores and six 2.0GHz Cortex-A55 small cores, with a Mali-G57MC2 GPU, providing a smooth user experience.

In terms of battery life, the Honor Play 60 series boasts a large 6000mAh battery, officially claiming two-day battery life on a single charge and supporting 15W fast charging. Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.3, and the phones come pre-installed with MagicOS 9.0 based on Android 15, offering a more intelligent user experience. Additionally, the Honor Play 60 series features an AI button providing one-touch access to various frequently used functions like navigation home, payment codes, and brightness adjustment. It also supports AI automatic recognition of frequently used addresses and AI anti-fraud functions, providing users with a convenient and secure smart experience.

Beyond the Honor Play 60 series, Honor recently teased another upcoming phone focusing on ultra-long battery life the Honor Power. Earlier this month, two new Honor models, DVD-AN00 and DVD-AN80, received network access licenses, further confirming the imminent release of the Honor Power. According to 3C certification information, the Honor Power will support 80W fast charging and be downward compatible with 10W, 15W, and 45W charging. Digital blogger @Digital Chat Station also revealed that the Honor Power will feature an ultra-large capacity battery, focusing on ultra-long battery life, and is not an April Fool's joke.

The emergence of the Honor Power is closely related to Honor's Honor Alpha strategy unveiled at MWC2025, aiming to build an open, co-created, and shared AI terminal ecosystem. This marks Honor's transformation from a smartphone manufacturer to a leading global AI terminal ecosystem company. The Honor Power might be the first strategic model launched after this transformation, potentially featuring not only powerful battery life but also unprecedented new AI functions. While its product series remains unclear, considering Honor's release schedule, the new phone may be related to the Honor X70 Pro series.

Looking back at the Honor X60/Pro series, launched in October 2024, it included standard and Pro versions. The Honor X60 standard version featured the Dimensity 7025-Ultra processor, a 6.8-inch 24121080 resolution 120Hz LCD screen, a 5800mAh battery, and 35W wired fast charging, starting at 1199. The Honor X60 Pro version featured the Snapdragon 6Gen1 processor, a 6.78-inch 27001224 resolution 120Hz AMOLED screen with eye protection, a 6600mAh battery, and 66W wired fast charging, starting at 1499.

Honor's current product line covers the Magic series, numbered series, GT series, X series, Play series, and the foldable V series. The positioning and specific configuration of the Honor Power still require official confirmation, but its focus on ultra-long battery life and potential AI features will undoubtedly be key competitive advantages. The launch of this new phone will further enrich Honor's product line and offer consumers more choices. The arrival of Honor Power also signifies Honor's firm steps in its AI terminal ecosystem strategy, making its future surprises worth anticipating. Honor's continuous introduction of products catering to diverse user needs across different price points showcases its strong innovation capabilities and market competitiveness. The Honor Play 60 series and the upcoming Honor Power will undoubtedly further solidify Honor's position in the mobile phone market.
