The Honor 600 series was unveiled yesterday and is now available in Europe as of today, featuring one significant change. While devices sold across Asia are equipped with a robust 7,000mAh Si-C battery, the European models come with a slightly smaller 6,400mAh cell.
Despite the difference in battery capacities favoring the Honor 600 version, the company opted for an unconventional battery test against its main competitors. Rather than assessing typical usage scenarios, Honor's engineers removed the 7,000mAh Si-C battery from the Honor 600 to power a miniature remote-controlled car.
The batteries from the eSIM-only iPhone 17 Pro (4,252mAh) and the Samsung Galaxy S26 (4,300mAh) were similarly adapted for the race.
In a showdown on the track, the three battery cells were tested for endurance to determine which would last the longest. Given its significantly larger capacity, the Honor 600 naturally emerged victorious. The accompanying video features humorous remarks aimed at Apple and Samsung, dubbing the iPhone 17 Pro as “The First to Retire” while referring to the Galaxy S26 as “The Persistent Challenger.”
