Looking for an iPhone 17 Pro* at a lower price?
Honor has unveiled the 600 and 600 Pro, termed as “affordable flagships,” and they appear… familiar. Particularly in that orange hue.
The Pro makes the iPhone resemblance particularly evident due to its triple rear camera — it even mirrors the same flash arrangement — while the 600 is slightly more discreet as it forgoes the Pro’s 3.5x telephoto lens. Honor previously employed the same strategy with last year’s iPhone Air-inspired Honor 500, but that device was launched solely in Asia.
Both devices boast IP69K water-resistance ratings (a more rigorous rating that includes tests with water jets directed at the phone), mid-sized 6.57-inch OLED displays, and substantial 6,400mAh batteries (with even larger 7,000mAh options available in Asia). They support 80W wired charging, but only the Pro has wireless charging capabilities. Additionally, it features a more powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, the previous year’s Qualcomm flagship, while the budget model has the midrange 7 Gen 4.
The two models launch in Europe today, starting at €649.90 (approximately $760) for the Honor 600, and €999.90 ($1,170) for the 600 Pro. This positions the Pro at a similar price point to a base iPhone 17 in the region, and several hundred Euros less than the 17 Pro models that have evidently inspired it.
