Honor introduced the Honor Play 60 Plus in June 2024, featuring an IP64-rated design, a 120Hz LCD display, a Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chipset, a 50-megapixel dual-camera setup, and a 6,000mAh battery. Now, the Honor Play 60 seems to be on the way, as a device carrying the model number NIC-AN00 has surfaced in China Telecom’s product library. The listing suggests an impending launch while also revealing key specifications, pricing, and color options.

Honor Play 60 pricing and color variants

According to the listing, the Honor Play 60 may be available in three colors: Xiaoshan Green, Moyan Black, and Yulong Snow. The device is expected to come in multiple configurations, with the 6GB + 128GB variant priced at 1,699 Yuan (~$235), the 8GB + 256GB model at 2,199 Yuan (~$300), and the 12GB + 256GB version at 2,599 Yuan (~$360). However, these prices may not be final as Honor has yet to make an official announcement.

Additionally, the listing suggests that another variant, the Honor Play 60m, could be in the works, similar to how Honor previously launched the Honor Play 50 and Play 50m. However, it remains unclear how the Play 60m will differ from the standard Play 60.

Honor Play 60 specifications (rumored)

The Honor Play 60 is expected to feature a 6.61-inch LCD HD+ display with a 1604 x 720 resolution. For optics, it may house a 5MP front camera for selfies and a 13-megapixel rear camera for photography. The device will likely measure 163.95 x 75.6 x 8.39mm and weigh 197 grams.

Under the hood, the phone is said to be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset, paired with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. A 6,000mAh battery with 15W charging support will keep the device running.

On the software front, the Honor Play 60 is expected to run Android 15 with MagicOS 9.0. It may also feature a side-mounted fingerprint scanner for security. While Honor has not confirmed any details yet, the China Telecom listing suggests that it will debut today (March 28) in the home market.
