Just when you thought HONOR Philippines was done rolling out its current generation of content-focused smartphones, the company is back with a fresh promotional campaign that leaves little to the imagination. HONOR recently dropped a teaser image for the HONOR 600 Series, confirming that a third device is about to join the lineup.
Looking closely at the official Facebook post, the upcoming mystery phone is pictured tearing through the backdrop, positioned right alongside the already-available HONOR 600 and HONOR 600 Pro. The teaser text prominently features the phrase “Coming Soon,” with the letter “S” boldly highlighted in blue.
While the company is keeping the exact naming convention under wraps, that stylistic choice points toward an “S” moniker. Are we looking at the imminent launch of an HONOR 600S or perhaps an HONOR 600 Smart? The new handset, partially revealed in the graphic, sports a distinct dual-tone gray and white finish, complete with a familiar flat-edge design and a dual-camera module headlined by a 50-megapixel AI shooter.

According to the accompanying press release, this incoming addition is specifically tailored for the demanding, fast-paced lifestyles of young professionals, digital-savvy users, and everyday creators. The headlining software feature is HONOR’s AI Image to Video 2.0, a generative tool built directly into the software that gives users a fresh, intuitive way to animate static images and bring them to life for quick social media content. HONOR Philippines Vice President Stephen Cheng noted that they want to build on the momentum of the HONOR 600 Series and bring these advanced mobile experiences to an even wider audience.
The brand’s push toward a broader audience comes at a pivotal moment. It just broke into the top five smartphone vendors in the Philippines for the second consecutive quarter, securing the fourth spot with a 10% market share. But “accessible” is a highly relative term in today’s competitive hardware landscape. With global memory component costs continuing to put pressure on phone makers, the budget segment is also evolving.
Rather than simply positioning the new model as a lower-cost alternative, this mystery “S” device could carve out its own space within the series, offering a slightly more accessible entry point while retaining the lineup’s core productivity and content-creation features. Whatever it ends up being called, HONOR is making it clear that the HONOR 600 Series still has plenty of runway. The company is advising users to keep an eye on its social channels, and we will be tracking the official local launch details as soon as they drop.
