Honor is taking a slightly different approach to highlight battery performance this time. Instead of the usual lab tests or screen-on time claims, the company decided to stage something a bit more visual and, honestly, more entertaining.
The newly launched Honor 600 series comes with a strong focus on battery life, especially in its Asian variants, which pack a 7,000mAh silicon-carbon battery. European models get a slightly smaller 6,400mAh unit, but even that is still above what Apple and Samsung have ever used in their flagship phones.
To show what that larger battery can do, Honor’s team came up with an unusual demo. They removed the batteries from three phones, the Honor 600 Pro, an iPhone 17 Pro, and a Samsung Galaxy S26, and used them to power small RC cars. The idea was simple. Let them run and see which one lasts the longest.
Unsurprisingly, the Honor-powered car kept going well after the others stopped. The iPhone dropped out first, followed by the Galaxy, which managed to hold on a bit longer. The whole thing is presented with a bit of humor too, with labels like “First to Retire” and “Persistent Challenger” added for effect.
Of course, this is not a perfect real-world comparison. Smartphone battery life depends on more than just capacity. Software optimization, display efficiency, and thermal control all play a role. But raw capacity is what Honor is highlighting, and this demo does a good job of showing that.
For those curious, the Honor 600 Pro is built around the 3nm Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and a 6.57-inch AMOLED panel that can reach a peak brightness of 8,000 nits. It runs MagicOS 10 based on Android 16 and is promised to receive up to six years of OS updates.
As for imaging, Honor has paired a 200MP main camera with a 50MP 3.5x telephoto, a 12MP ultrawide, and a 50MP front camera. The overall design appears to take some inspiration from the iPhone 17 Pro models, particularly in the orange finish. Even so, it stands out as a strong mid-range Android option, with slim and symmetrical bezels, a very bright display, flagship-level performance, and long battery life.
