Back in December 2021, Honor announced the Honor 60 and Honor 60 Pro smartphones in China. While the company was rumored to launch the Honor 60 SE at that time, it wasn’t announced alongside the Honor 60 and 60 Pro. Today, Honor China CMO Jiang Hairong Harrison took to Weibo to confirm that the firm will be announcing a new Honor 60 series product tomorrow (on Feb. 8). It can be said based on recent reports that the launch date of the Honor 60 SE might get confirmed tomorrow.

The Honor 60 SE name is yet to be confirmed, but since the company had launched the Honor 50 SE last year, it seems that the next Honor 60 series phone could be called the Honor 60 SE. In December, an Honor smartphone with the model number GIA-AN00 model number was approved by China’s 3C agency. The same device was seen at the Geekbench benchmarking site recently. Speculations are rife that the GIA-AN00 Honor phone may break cover as the Honor 60 SE.

The 3C listing of the GIA-AN00 revealed that it may arrive with support for 66W fast charging. The device scored 3314 in the single-core test of Geekbench 4, and it recorded a score of 8287 in the multi-test. The listing revealed that the device is powered by the Dimensity 900 chipset and 8 GB of RAM. The device is likely to run on Android 11 and the latest Magic UI. Shown above are the Honor 60 SE case renders that were spotted in the recent past.

To recollect, the Honor 60 and Honor 60 Pro are powered by the Snapdragon 778G and Snapdragon 778G Plus, respectively. Hence, it appears that the Honor 60 SE will be positioned below the existing Honor 60 series smartphones. Reports have claimed that the Honor X40i could be the other phone that may go official with the Honor 60 SE.

Honor may be planning to release a new smartphone as an unannounced model with the model number GIA-AN00 has appeared on GeekBench. The model is believed to be the Honor 60 SE but little is known about the smartphone before now.

One important aspect that the GeekBench listing reveals is that the Honor 60 SE will be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 900 processor with one of the memory configurations having 8GB of RAM. The Dimensity 900 SoC was first announced in May 2021 and it features an Octa-core architecture made up of two ARM Cortex A78 processors with a clock speed of up to 2.4GHz and six ARM Cortex A55 cores that can reach up to 2GHz.

The device will also ship with the Android 12 operating system out of the box which is one of the impressive things about the former Huawei brand. It isn’t bedeviled by Huawei’s problems since it was sold off.

Unfortunately, the GeekBench listing doesn’t reveal any further details of the upcoming premium mid-range smartphone. However, the listing is an indication that the device will launch in no distant time in China. The global launch will also likely follow thereafter.
