Honor has announced the 600 and 600 Pro, which it calls “accessible flagships,” and they look familiar. Especially that orange one.
The Pro draws particularly obvious iPhone comparisons thanks to its triple rear camera – it even has the same flash layout – while the 600 is just a hair subtler as it drops the Pro’s 3.5x telephoto lens. Honor actually made the same move with last year’s iPhone Air-inspired Honor 500, but that phone only launched in Asia.
Both phones have an IP69K water-resistance rating (a tougher rating that covers testing with a jet of water close to the phone), medium-sized 6.57-inch OLED displays, and large 6,400mAh batteries (with an even larger 7,000mAh capacity in Asia). Both have 80W wired charging, but only the Pro supports wireless. It also has the more powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, last year’s Qualcomm flagship, and the midrange 7 Gen 4 in cheaper phones.
Both phones will launch in Europe today, starting at €649.90 (about $760) for the Honor 600 and €999.90 ($1,170) for the Honor 600 Pro. This makes the Pro priced in the same area as the base iPhone 17, and several hundred euros cheaper than the 17 Pro model that apparently inspired it.
