Honor has officially launched its new Honor 60 series at a special event in China. This time, the Chinese company chose to bring two phones in the series, compared to the Honor 50 series, where three devices, including the Honor 50 SE arrived. However, we might see Honor expanding the series in the coming weeks to offer more options.
Honor 60 series feature curved OLED displays, supports 66W fast-charging, Snapdragon processors, and some features that one would normally associate with premium devices. Both smartphones include 108MP primary sensors that include some special AI features that target vloggers and creators, the company says.
Design-wise, the Honor 60 and Honor 60 Pro look the same, with a single punch-hole at the top. The Pro model doesn’t feature the capsule-shaped punch-hole like the Honor 50 Pro, because it carries only a single camera. Both devices feature curved OLED panels. At the rear, the Honor 60 series look startlingly like its predecessor, both sporting the dual-round-bump array.
