Honor has unveiled two new models in its X60 series, which offer more variety compared to the X50 lineup. The X60 Pro stands out with a more advanced display and a stronger processor, both of which improve its camera capabilities as well.
Honor X60 Pro
The X60 Pro features a stunning 6.78-inch curved OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It has a sharp resolution of 1,224 x 2,700 pixels. The screen supports 10-bit color depth and can reach a peak of 3,000 nits, utilizing 3,840Hz high-frequency PWM dimming for smooth brightness adjustments. While it’s waterproof, it lacks an official IP rating.
The X60 Pro’s Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chip is a downgrade from the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 in the previous X50 Pro. Despite this, it allows for 4K video recording, unlike the regular X60, which maxes out at 1080p. Both models sport a 108MP main camera with a 2MP depth sensor, featuring 9-to-1 pixel binning for improved low-light performance. The front camera is an 8MP sensor housed in a pill-shaped punch hole. The Pro has an under-display fingerprint reader for a modern touch.
With a robust 6,600mAh battery and fast 66W charging, the X60 Pro excels in endurance, offering around 25 hours of video playback. However, gaming performance only sees a slight increase, with 10 hours compared to 9 hours on the vanilla model.
The X60 Pro supports dual-SIM 5G, Wi-Fi 5, and Bluetooth 5.1. There is a two-way satellite texting through the Beidou system for reliable messaging without cell service.
Honor X60
The vanilla Honor X60 features a flat 6.8-inch LCD with a lower resolution of 1,080 x 2,412 pixels and a brightness of 850 nits. It still runs at 120Hz for smooth interactions. The front camera is also an 8MP sensor, set in a circular punch hole. While it shares the same rear camera setup as the Pro, it lacks 4K video recording capabilities due to its Dimensity 7025-Ultra chipset.

The X60 features dual-SIM 5G, Wi-Fi 5, and benefits from Bluetooth 5.3, providing a slight edge over the Pro. However, it lacks the Pro’s satellite texting feature.
