A new Honor smartphone has appeared on the Google Play Console database. The handset is called Honor 600e, and it carries the model number HNLNA-NX1. The listing reveals key specifications of the smartphone along with an image of the front design. It also hints at an imminent launch of the Honor 600e, although nothing official has been confirmed yet. This is also the first time we’re hearing about the Honor 600e.
The Google Play Console listing shows the Honor 600e running the Mediatek MT6858 chipset, which is the Dimensity 7100. Launched in January 2026, this is an octa-core chipset for mid-range phones with ARM Mali-G610 MC2 GPU and support for LPDDR5 RAM. The smartphone also has 12GB RAM, which would be one of the memory variants. More details include a 1200 x 2600 (FHD+ resolution) display with 520 DPI.
The Honor 600e features a flat display with a small pill-shaped notch on top. The smartphone appears to have very thin bezels with the power button and volume keys on the right side. The Honor 600e is also seen in green in the Google Play Console image.
While this is the first we’re hearing about the Honor 600e, the smartphone appears to be a rebranded Honor 600 Lite or another moniker for different markets. The Honor 600 Lite launched in Malaysia recently, and its model number is LNA-NX1, closely resembling the 600e. The chipset and design details are also similar, suggesting it’s the same phone.
If they are indeed the same phone, then this is what we can expect in terms of specifications. The Honor 600 Lite features a 6.6-inch FHD+ (1,200×2,600 pixels) AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and 6,500 nits peak brightness. The display size puts the Honor 600e in a comfortable space between a compact and a large-screened device. The smartphone is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7100 Elite chipset paired with 12GB RAM and 256GB of onboard storage. It should be capable enough for regular to moderate usage, although we’re yet to test the device.
The new Honor smartphone features a 108MP primary camera and an 8MP ultra-wide at the back, and a 16MP front camera for selfies and video calls. The primary camera could be a strong one for regular photography and social media content. It also features an AI camera button that launches the camera app. The smartphone packs a 6,520mAh battery with 45W fast charging support. This battery capacity should be enough for a full day of usage, but some phones offer 7,000mAh and more, even in the budget segment. It also comes with an IP66 rating for dust and water resistance, and runs MagicOS 10 based on Android 16, out of the box.
Since there’s no official announcement yet, we can’t say for sure how Honor plans to market the 600e. This rebranding strategy can be seen as a way for Honor to tailor marketing and potentially pricing for specific regional demographics without developing entirely new hardware.
Since the phone’s moniker is confirmed, it will most likely launch in some markets as the Honor 600e. If it is a rebrand of the Honor 600 Lite, then the smartphone would make for a decent mid-range phone with a balanced set of specifications, including a bright display, strong primary camera, and reliable battery. If these specs and the potential price point align with your needs for a mid-range device, it might be worth keeping an eye on, but wait for official pricing and availability.
