Honor has officially introduced two new mid-range smartphones — the Honor Play 60 and Honor Play 60m — in the Chinese market. These devices follow the success of the Play 50 series, offering solid hardware at a competitive price point. While both smartphones share nearly identical internals, the primary differences lie in their color options and pricing tiers.
At the heart of both devices is the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset, featuring an octa-core CPU built for balanced performance and power efficiency. The configuration includes two Cortex-A76 cores clocked at 2.4GHz and six Cortex-A55 cores running at 2.0GHz, complemented by the ARM Mali-G57 MC2 GPU for smooth graphics performance. Whether you're multitasking, gaming, or streaming, the Play 60 series is built to keep up.
Running on MagicOS 9.0, based on the latest Android 15, users can expect a fresh and responsive user experience with refined UI features and better privacy controls.

Both the Honor Play 60 and 60m feature a 6.61-inch TFT LCD display with a resolution of 1604 × 720 pixels. The screen offers up to 1010 nits of peak brightness, ensuring visibility even in bright outdoor conditions. Added features like eye protection mode and natural light viewing mode enhance the comfort during long screen time, whether you're reading or watching videos.
On the photography front, the devices come equipped with a 13MP rear camera (f/1.8) capable of 10x digital zoom and 1080p video recording. The 5MP front camera (f/2.2) is also capable of shooting in 1080p. Additional photography features include night mode, HDR, dual-view video, smile capture, and time-lapse, catering to casual photography enthusiasts.
Honor offers a variety of configurations to cater to different user needs:
Both models are powered by a massive 6000mAh battery, ideal for heavy users who need their phone to last through the day and beyond. Charging is handled via a 5V/3A wired charger, with support for smart charging modes that help extend battery lifespan.

Security-wise, the phones come with face unlock, app lock, AI face-change detection, and payment protection features.
Honor has included a suite of handy tools like e-book mode, device cloning, app cloning, and gesture controls using knuckles, enhancing the overall user experience.
The Honor Play 60 is positioned as a budget-friendly option, priced at 1,199 Yuan for the 6GB + 128GB variant and 1,399 Yuan for the 8GB + 256GB model. It comes in three elegant color choices: Ink Rock Black, Jade Dragon Snow, and Xiaoshan Qing.
On the other hand, the Honor Play 60m targets users looking for more premium configurations, starting at 1,699 Yuan for 6GB + 128GB, 2,199 Yuan for 8GB + 256GB, and topping out at 2,599 Yuan for the 12GB + 256GB version.

The Honor Play 60 and Play 60m pack impressive specs for their price, especially with the inclusion of a large battery, solid chipset, and thoughtful software features.

With these launches, Honor is clearly doubling down on its commitment to offer reliable and feature-rich devices in the mid-range segment.
