Honor is gearing up to launch the Honor 600 series globally, and one of the first phones in the lineup to hit the market could be the Honor 600 Lite. The device has already passed a couple of certifications, indicating that its launch may not be far away. These listings have revealed that the device carries the model number LNA-NX1. In a new development, the device has appeared on Geekbench, revealing that it will be powered by a new Dimensity 7100 chipset.
Honor 600 Lite Geekbench listing
The Honor 600 Lite’s Geekbench listing shows that it is powered by a MediaTek chip with the model number MT6858. It comprises four cores operating at 2.00GHz, four cores working at 2.40GHz, and Mali-G610 MC2 graphics (via metadata). These clues are enough to suggest that it could feature the recently unveiled Dimensity 7100 chipset.
The Geekbench listing further shows that it has 8GB of RAM and runs on Android 16. It managed to score 994 points in the single-core test and 3023 points in the multi-core test of Geekbench 6.5.
Apart from Geekbench, the Honor 600 Lite has been spotted on certification platforms such as EMVCo, GCF, and TDRA. Earlier this week, it was also approved by Thailand’s NBTC certification body. Unfortunately, none of these listings have revealed anything significant apart from a few connectivity details such as 5G, eSIM, and NFC. At present, there is no information about the Honor 600 Lite’s launch timeframe. Considering that it has appeared on Geekbench, it may not take too long to go official, possibly in March.
Xpert Take
Honor has been largely inactive in India, and therefore, it seems unlikely that the 600 Lite will make it to the Indian market. Nevertheless, the lineup is expected to include more powerful devices such as the Honor 600 and 600 Pro.
The appearance of the Honor 600 Lite is also a hint that the company could skip the Honor 500 series for the global market. For those who don’t know, the Honor 500 series was announced in China in November 2025. Just as the Honor 400 and 400 Lite released in the global market were slightly different from their Chinese editions, it appears the Honor 600 and 600 Lite meant for the global audience could also differ from their Chinese counterparts, which are expected to go official in a couple of months.
