OR Honor revealed the two new models of the X60 series, the Honor X60 and Honor X60 Pro, which have bigger differences between them than their X50 counterparts.
The Pro in particular comes with a more impressive display and more processing power, which also has an effect on the camera capabilities.
The Honor X60 Pro features a curved OLED display, a 6.78” 120 Hz panel with a resolution of 1,224 x 2,700 px (19.9:9). It has 10-bit colors and can reach a maximum brightness of 3,000 nits, which are controlled with 3,840 Hz high-frequency PWM dimming. The screen can be operated with wet fingers (the phone itself is waterproof but without an official IP rating).
The X60 Pro is still powered by the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1, which is a downgrade from the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 used in the X50 Pro. Essentially, the 6 Gen 1 is the same chip used in the vanilla X50. However, it is better than the X60’s chip as it can record 4K video with the main camera.
Both phones have 108MP cameras plus 2MP depth sensors. These are 1/1.67″ sensors with 9 to 1 binning (1.92 µm actual pixel size) and 3x sensor zoom. There’s no optical stabilization, but the lens is quite fast with an aperture of f/1.75.
The Pro model has a pill-shaped punch hole for a small camera with an 8MP sensor.
Also, the Pro has an under-display fingerprint reader, while the X60 uses a side-mounted reader since it has an LCD screen.
Staying on the screen of the Honor X60, this switches to a flat screen. It measures 6.8” with a lower resolution of 1,080 x 2,412 px (20.1:9) and achieves a lower brightness of 850 nits (with DC dimming). However, it still runs at 120Hz.
The X60’s selfie camera also has an 8MP sensor, while the rear camera is the same as the Pro, except for 4K video mode.
This is a limitation of the Dimensity 7025-Ultra chipset (2x A78 @ 2.5 GHz + 6x A55 @ 2.0 GHz, BXM-8-256 GPU). The two new X60 models can be configured with 8GB or 12GB of RAM and 128GB, 256GB or 512GB of storage. They run MagicOS 8.0, which is based on Android 14.
Another crucial difference between the Honor X60 and the X60 Pro is the battery. The vanilla model has a large 5,800mAh battery with relatively slow 35W charging.
The X60 Pro has a massive 6,600mAh battery and faster 66W charging. This has a noticeable impact on video playback endurance compared to the vanilla X60 (25 hours vs. 19 hours), but gaming endurance has only a slight improvement (10 hours versus 9 hours). Of course, the X60 Pro has a higher resolution display and a more powerful chipset, which will absorb more power.
The Pro model also features stereo speakers with Honor Histen 7.1 technology. They can increase the volume to 300% for really loud listening.
Both are dual SIM 5G phones with Wi-Fi 5 (ac). The basic model has a newer Bluetooth version (5.3 vs. 5.1 on the Pro), but both support the same audio codecs: AAC, LDAC, and aptX HD.
However, the X60 Pro has two-way satellite messaging via Beidou, which can be used when cellular service is unavailable.
The Honor X60 is available in China now from Honor’s online store. The base 8/128GB model costs CNY 1,200 (which converts to $170/€155/₹14,200). Upgrade options are 8/256GB for CNY 1,400, 12/256GB for CNY 1,600 and 12/512GB for CNY 1,800. The X60 is available in three colors: Black, Green and Silver.
The Honor X60 Pro costs more, but not much more. You can find it at Honor’s China store. The base 8/128GB model starts at CNY 1,500 (converted to other currencies, that’s $210/€195/₹17,700). There are other memory options: 8/256GB for CNY 1,700, 12/256GB for CNY 2,000 and finally 12/512GB for CNY 2,300. The color options have an extra one with Orange joining Black, Green and Silver.
It is worth noting that different colors also have different textures.
