Honor X60 Series Imminent: Can a Budget Phone Challenge Flagship Features and Continue Million-Unit Sales Success?

News about Honor's upcoming phone releases has been circulating recently, with the flagship Honor Magic7 series generating significant buzz. However, Honor is also pushing hard in the mid-to-low-end market, with the new generation Honor X60 series poised for launch and garnering widespread attention.

According to leaks, the Honor X60 series will boast a brand-new design and comprehensive hardware upgrades, putting it ahead of competitors in its price range. Although blogger @Wangzai Baishitong initially claimed the leak was unrelated to the Honor X60 series, they later acknowledged that the Honor X60 series surpasses rival devices in certain features. Furthermore, the Honor X60 series models BRC-AN00, BRP-AN00, and BRP-AN80 have received 3C certification, confirming they will come equipped with power adapters capable of delivering a maximum output of 40W.

Notably, Jiang Hairong, CMO of Honor Terminal Co., Ltd. in China, also shared the relevant network access information, announcing the official launch of the Honor X60 series in October. Renowned digital blogger @Shumaxianliaozhan revealed that the Honor X60 series will incorporate a premium design language, house a high-capacity battery, prioritize drop resistance, and popularize edge-to-edge curved screens, aiming to "challenge flagship features with a budget phone."

The Honor X50, the predecessor of the Honor X60 series, achieved a domestic sales milestone of 10 million units within 10 months of its launch, becoming the first Android phone to break the 10-million mark in 2023. This remarkable achievement has ignited anticipation for the market performance of the Honor X60 series. Whether it can replicate the million-unit sales success is a key point to watch.

While the specific technical specifications of the Honor X60 series remain undisclosed, we can draw inspiration from the features of its predecessor, the Honor X50. The Honor X50 boasts a 6.78-inch 1.5K ultra-clear eye care curved screen, supporting 1.07 billion colors, 120Hz high refresh rate, and 1200 nit peak brightness. It houses a 5800mAh battery, is powered by the industry's first Qualcomm Snapdragon 6Gen1 processor, runs the MagicOS operating system, features a 100-megapixel ultra-clear main camera, and supports super night mode, AI intelligent optimization, portrait mode, large aperture mode, multi-camera recording, and micro-movie features. The starting price of the Honor X50 is 1399 yuan.

In addition to the Honor X60 series, the Honor 300 series is also generating considerable interest, although further details are yet to be revealed. Looking at the previous Honor 200 series, the Honor 200 Pro adopted the "Nouveau Art Mirror" design, equipped with a 6.78-inch screen, powered by the third-generation Snapdragon 8s chip, featured a 5200mAh Qinghai Lake battery, and supported 100W wired super-fast charging and 66W wireless super-fast charging. The Honor 200, on the other hand, embraced the "Nouveau Art Mirror" and natural texture design, equipped with a 6.7-inch edge-to-edge curved screen, powered by the third-generation Snapdragon 7 chip, housed a 5200mAh Qinghai Lake battery, and supported 100W wired super-fast charging.

The imminent release of the Honor X60 series, with its "budget phone challenging flagship features" positioning, will undoubtedly inject new competition into the mid-to-low-end smartphone market. It remains to be seen whether Honor can leverage its strong product strength to create another sales sensation.
