While it has been barely six months since HONOR announced the 50 series, the brand announced the 60 Series with a vanilla and Pro model in China. The 60 series may look similar to the 50 series, but the former settles for a triple rear camera setup and both variants go for curved displays–the Pro model getting a more sophisticated quad-curve display.

The vanilla and Pro models can be differentiated by their displays: the vanilla model has a 6.67-inch curved display, while the Pro model has a bigger 6.78-inch quad-curve display. Both phones have support for DCI-P3, 10-bit color, and a 120hz refresh rate. The vanilla HONOR 60 has the same 32-megapixel selfie snapper, while the Pro model has a new 50-megapixel selfie snapper with a 100-degree FOV.
Both models settle for a triple rear camera setup, ditching the 2-megapixel macro camera and retaining the 108-megapixel main camera and 2-megapixel depth sensor. While the vanilla model has the same 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera as the HONOR 50, the Pro model gets a new 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera with autofocus for macro shots.
Both phones have a 4800mAh battery, which is a big step up from the battery capacity of the HONOR 50 series. Both also charge via 66w wired charging, which is a downgrade for the Pro model since the HONOR 50 Pro supported 100w charging.
