Honor (荣耀) launches 600 Vitality Edition phone: Snapdragon 7 Gen 4, priced from RMB 2,699

Product launch

Honor (荣耀) has introduced the 600 Vitality Edition, a lower‑cost member of its new 600 series, priced from RMB 2,699 (national subsidy price RMB 2,294.15). It has been reported that preorders open tonight with first sales beginning June 3 at 10:05. The model joins Honor’s Super and Pro variants as the brand pushes to cover multiple price tiers in China’s saturated smartphone market.

Design and specs

The 600 Vitality Edition ships with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 mobile platform and a 7,000mAh battery — a notably large capacity for a midrange device. Honor highlights a refined look: a one‑piece cold‑carved finish, matte metal mid‑frame and rounded R‑corner transitions. It has been reported that the handset features an industry‑narrow 0.98mm equal black bezel. Photography is anchored by a 50MP Sony main sensor and Honor is marketing the device as a “4K Live” capable phone for live 4K recording; the company claims an expansive 4K Live ecosystem, a promotional point that remains to be stress‑tested in real‑world use.

Price, availability and context

The new model’s RMB 2,699 entry price positions it as an affordable option in China’s crowded midmarket. Preorders begin immediately and the first retail wave starts June 3. The device’s use of a Qualcomm SoC is notable amid ongoing US‑China semiconductor tensions; while high‑end export controls have tightened, mainstream and upper‑midrange mobile chips continue to flow to Chinese OEMs. Will a big battery and creator‑focused camera features be enough to win buyers? Honor is betting on value and media capabilities to stand out.
