Honor smartphone launch timeline 2026 – Aug updates

Overview

In July, Honor announced a Robot Phone for August and set the flagship Magic 9 for October, later moving its launch to the last week of September with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor, a 6000 mAh battery and up to 100 W charging. Two Magic 9 variants (Pro Air and RSR Porsche Design) were cancelled due to low sales and a memory‑chip shortage. On July 30, the company launched the 600 Smart 5G in Croatia, featuring a 7700 mAh battery, IP64 protection, a drop‑proof design and an AI button, running MagicOS 10 on Android 16. Early August saw the 4G version of the X7e Plus introduced, featuring a 6.87‑inch HD+ TFT display, Snapdragon 685, 8 GB RAM (plus 16 GB virtual), 256 GB storage, a 108 MP main camera, an 8 100 mAh battery, IP68/69/69K rating, MagicOS 10, AI button, NFC, side‑mounted fingerprint sensor and stereo speakers. On 4 August, Honor unveiled the 600 Lite in Spain – an aluminum 7.34 mm, 180 g handset powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 7100 Elite chipset, 12 GB RAM, 256 GB storage, a 108 MP camera, a 6 520 mAh battery with 45 W SuperCharge, MagicOS 10 and a €379 price tag that includes a free Honor Choice Watch 2i. The following day, detailed specs for the X7e Plus were confirmed and the 2023 X9c model received a price cut in Hong Kong to HK$1,699, offering Snapdragon 6 Gen 1, 12 GB RAM, 256 GB storage, a 6 600 mAh battery with 66 W fast charging and IP65M protection. In early August, Honor released the X6e, a budget device with a 7500 mAh battery and MediaTek Helio G81 Ultra chipset, which was later launched in the Philippines for ₱15,999.00.
