In July last year, the Honor X50 was released. This mobile phone is positioned in the thousand-yuan market, and with a high-end appearance + 1.5K curved screen + 5800mAh large battery, it is directly crazy offline.
According to the data released by Honor in May this year, 10 months after the launch of the Honor X50, its sales in the domestic market successfully exceeded 10 million units, which is also the first Android product released since 2023 to exceed 10 million sales in the Chinese market.
Generally speaking, if there are millions of units sold in a single model, it can be regarded as a hit. And the Honor X50 is already at the level of tens of millions, which can be said to be the most popular of the best.
Up to now, the total sales of the Honor X50 series have reached 15 million units, with an average of one unit sold every 2.7 seconds, and the cumulative total height of more than 13 Everest peaks has been superimposed.
And 15 months after the launch of the Honor X50, its successor, the X60 series, has finally been officially announced, and the launch event will be held at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, October 16. This time, it is still a three-model lineup, including the X60 Standard, X60 Pro and X60 GT.
But the difference is that this time the positioning strategy may have changed. According to the news, the positioning of the Honor X60 standard version will be slightly lowered, and the X60 Pro will supplement the positioning of the previous generation standard version. That said, both the standard and Pro have been downgraded, while the X60 GT has remained the same.
Combined with the existing revelations and official information, the front of the Honor X60 Pro is still a hyperbolic screen, but the punch-hole form has become a pill shape. The back adopts the "Oreo" camera module, which is common in imaging flagships, and is available in four colors: blue, orange, black, and gray, of which orange is made of plain leather.
Approximate configuration, the X60 Pro will likely debut with a Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 processor, which is based on Samsung's 4nm process and consists of four 2.40GHz A78 and four 1.80GHz A55. Compared to the previous Snapdragon 6 Gen 1, its CPU performance has increased by 10%.
The storage specifications still start at 8GB+128GB, and the maximum is 12GB+512GB. It is worth mentioning that this time, the top 12GB+512GB version also decentralizes the satellite communication function. In addition, the battery capacity is expected to be increased to 6400mAh, while supporting 66W wired fast charging.
In terms of images, there is a 108 million pixel single camera on the rear, and the rest are decorative rings. In other aspects, the structure of the fuselage will also be upgraded, which will be more resistant to drops than the previous generation, and it will also be IP68 dust and water resistant.
The Honor X60 Standard Edition uses an FHD+ LCD straight screen with a single punch-hole form. The back design is highly similar to that of the Huawei Mate 60, with a "Star Ring" camera module, but only a rear camera. The device may be equipped with a Dimensity 7025 processor, with storage starting at 8GB+128GB, a battery capacity of 5800mAh, and support for 35W wired charging.
These two mobile phones are still high-end design popularization routes, Honor X60 Pro has a curved screen + high-end image flagship back design + large battery + IP68 + satellite communication, and X60 is directly like "Mate 60 Youth Edition", these should be big selling points in the offline market.
As mentioned earlier, this generation of Honor X60 Pro is an iteration of the previous generation X50 Standard Edition, so its price may continue to start at 1399. And the positioning of the X60 standard version has been lowered, and the price should also be reduced, if it can come from 999 at that time, then there is a high probability that it will be crazy again.
