The 60-second verdict

The Honor 600 Pro is easy to like in isolation. Its cameras, screen and battery are all strong; the problem appears when £899.99 puts it beside the very best phones on sale. Portraits and zoomed photographs are the reason to choose it, while the generous storage makes keeping them easier. The battery comfortably supports a busy day, and the bright screen helps outdoors, but neither advantage is unique at this price. The checked 512GB storage price is £899.99; no cheaper size or storage option is used to improve the value judgement.

Our verdictA polished camera-led phone held back by a price that demands near-perfection

What it gets right

  • Flexible cameras with useful portrait and zoom options
  • A bright screen and comfortable curved body
  • Large storage allowance and strong battery life

The compromises

  • The launch price is higher than its overall polish justifies
  • Some camera processing can look overdone
  • Honor's menus include more prompts and extras than the simplest rivals
Is it right for you?

Buy it—or leave it?

Buy it if…
  • You take many portraits and want flexible cameras
  • 512GB storage removes worry about photos and video
  • A discounted price brings it well below leading flagships
Skip it if…
  • You are paying the full £899.99 launch price
  • You want the cleanest and simplest menus
  • Consistent point-and-shoot camera results matter more than creative modes
The full review

What it is actually like

Open any section for the detail behind our verdict.

01What feels good every day

Portraits and zoomed photographs are the reason to choose it, while the generous storage makes keeping them easier.

02What the testing revealed

The battery comfortably supports a busy day, and the bright screen helps outdoors, but neither advantage is unique at this price.

03The compromise to understand

Value changes quickly with Honor promotions; judge the final basket price, not a free gift that you would not otherwise buy.

Before paying

Confirm the exact 512GB storage version and final basket price; a different size or storage allowance is a different value decision.

How we reached the score

Our review process

This is a research-based review, not a claim that UKTechExpert physically tested the product. We checked the manufacturer's UK release and pricing information, then cross-checked the everyday strengths and weaknesses against an independent product-specific review. Technical measurements inform the private score, while the public explanation stays in plain English.
