Honor has announced deep discounts in their 600 series of smartphones – and they were only released last month!
The standout deal here is the top-of-the-range Honor 600 Pro, which is selling for £900 £700 over June. I've had hands on time with, and can confirm that it's a fantastic flagship smartphone. It wields a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset with a sweet 6.57-inch 120Hz display, making it the perfect partner for photo editing on the go. And that's what I think is the real appeal here – the 200MP camera. It's well-deserving to go into our list of the best cameraphones.

One of the biggest complaints about the 600 Pro was its price tag, but with £200 off, it comes down to a very reasonable £699.99.
For that price, you get Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and 512 GB of internal storage, so it easily handles the most intensive apps and huge media assets while the UI stays fluid and lag-free.
Add in the fluid 120Hz panel and utterly precise 200MP camera and you’ve got a mobile workhorse for media production and consumption.
At the time of writing, you can also get a Projector Air Pro or Pad X9A thrown in, plus Earbuds Clip and a SuperCharge power adapter thrown in for free.
Meanwhile, the standard Honor 600 is a perfectly capable alternative, offering a life-proof IP68/IP69-rated build alongside a mega 6,400mAh battery that keeps the handset going all day long.
The camera is arguably the most important part of any modern phone, and both feature a 200MP ultra-clear camera system that captures superb detail, but the Pro adds a dedicated telephoto/portrait lens and advanced optical stabilisation.
The only potential downside here is that Honor’s MagicOS tries very hard to ape Apple’s iOS, so if you want a more stock Android experience, you might have to devote a bit of time to turning all the bells and whistles off. But for Apple users looking to jump ship for less money, Honor’s phones are perfect.

The non-Pro Honor 600 (should that be Honor 600 Amateur?) is still a killer smartphone in its own right, and at £449.99 it’s become a much more affordable option.
While it rolls back the high-end CPU, camera, and screen of the 600 Pro, it’s still a perfectly adequate phone with a rugged build and unfatigable battery life.
Curiously, Honor has knocked £150 off the 512GB version and £100 off the 256GB variant, so they’re both £449.99, so we’d recommend going for bigger storage, unless you’re addicted to the high-stakes dramatic tension of low-storage warnings appearing more regularly.
At the moment, Honor will also chuck in its Earbuds Clip, a Handheld Fan Pro, and a SuperCharge Power Adapter 2.
