Honor has announced the 600 and 600 Pro, which it calls “accessible flagships,” and they look… familiar. Especially in that orange.
The Pro makes the iPhone comparison especially obvious thanks to its triple rear camera — it even has the same flash layout — while the 600 is just a hair subtler because it drops the Pro’s 3.5x telephoto lens. Honor actually pulled the same move with last year’s iPhone Air-inspired Honor 500, but that phone only launched in Asia.
Both phones have IP69K water-resistance ratings (a tougher rating that covers testing with water jets closer to the phone), midsize 6.57-inch OLED displays, and big 6,400mAh batteries (with even larger 7,000mAh capacities in Asia). Both have 80W wired charging, but only the Pro supports wireless. It also has a more powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, last year’s Qualcomm flagship, with the midrange 7 Gen 4 in the cheaper phone.
The two phones launch in Europe today, starting at €649.90 (about $760) for the Honor 600, and €999.90 ($1,170) for the 600 Pro. That makes the Pro about the same price as a base iPhone 17 in the region, and several hundred Euros cheaper than the 17 Pro models that have clearly inspired it.
