The Design Everyone Is Talking About

The Honor 600 Pro looks a lot like the iPhone 17 Pro. Not “vaguely inspired” a lot. More like “you’d do a double-take in a coffee shop” a lot. The camera island on the rear, the overall layout, even the vibrant orange colorway it all draws a very clear line back to Apple’s flagship design language.

He camera module’s shape combined with the orange finish shows unmistakable design inspiration from the iPhone 17 Pro series. And this isn’t entirely surprising Honor’s previous 500 series was itself inspired by the iPhone Air’s horizontal visor design. But with the 600 Pro, the approach feels sharper and more deliberate.

This time, the softer visor look is gone. What replaces it is a more structured, defined camera block three sensors in a large rectangular housing with separate placement for the LED flash and laser autofocus module. As noted, the Honor 600 Pro has its LED flash and laser AF at the top right and bottom right corners of the camera island — a detail that the standard Honor 600 handles slightly differently.

Display: Big Screen, Sharp Resolution

The Honor 600 Pro features a 6.57-inch OLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate, based on consistent leaks corroborated by multiple sources including and The front panel keeps things clean slim display bezels and a single punch-hole cutout for the front camera. No notch. No pill. Just a neat round cutout sitting in the corner of what looks like a seriously good screen.

For a phone sitting in the upper mid-range segment, these display specs are genuinely impressive. 1.5K resolution at 6.57 inches means real sharpness  the kind you notice when scrolling text or watching video.

The Camera Setup: 200MP Main Sensor With OIS

This is where things get interesting for photography enthusiasts.

The Honor 600 Pro carries a 200MP main camera sensor with optical image stabilisation (OIS). That’s confirmed across multiple reliable leak sources. The Pro model also adds a telephoto camera, giving it a full triple-camera system something the standard Honor 600 does not get.

There’s also a dedicated camera button on the side of the device another nod toward the iPhone experience that Honor is clearly leaning into. Honor’s official teasers in Malaysia have promoted the 600 series under three themes: Next Design, Next AI, and Next-Gen Camera. The camera button fits right into that narrative.

One thing to keep in mind: some specific camera specs beyond the main sensor are still unconfirmed at this stage. As always with pre-launch leaks, treat supporting camera details as “expected” rather than guaranteed.

The 9000mAh Battery: Yes, It’s Real

If there’s one spec that’s been raising eyebrows since day one, it’s the battery. 9000mAh. In a phone with a 6.57-inch screen.

For context, Apple’s most expensive iPhones still pack batteries under 5,000mAh. Samsung’s Galaxy flagships hover in similar territory. Honor, meanwhile, is quietly building phones with batteries that could outlast a long-haul flight.

reported that this is an upgrade from the 8,000mAh cell in the Honor 500. Honor appears to be using silicon-carbon battery technology the same direction the company showcased at MWC 2026 with its Silicon-carbon Blade Battery innovation. This technology offers higher energy density, which means more capacity without proportionally more bulk.

The real engineering question is whether Honor can keep the phone slim despite all that capacity. If they pull it off, this becomes one of the most compelling battery-life stories of 2026.

Chipset: Snapdragon 8 Elite Confirmed

Early speculation placed the Honor 600 Pro on various Snapdragon tiers. That speculation is now settled.

Respected leaker Roland Quandt confirmed on social media that the Honor 600 Pro ran Geekbench with the Snapdragon 8 Elite (SM8750) chipset. The configuration spotted was 12GB RAM with 512GB storage, and the leaked price sits at approximately €600 in Europe, as reported by .

The Snapdragon 8 Elite is Qualcomm’s current top-tier mobile processor the same chip that powers flagship devices from Samsung, OnePlus, and others in 2025-2026. Pairing it with a 9000mAh battery and a 200MP camera puts the Honor 600 Pro in a genuinely competitive position, not just as a mid-range phone, but as a value flagship.

Honor has also teased AI integration, likely through a dedicated AI button on the side a trend we’re seeing across the Android space this year.

Build Quality and Other Details

The Honor 600 Pro features a metal frame and a glass back, giving it a premium feel to match its specs. There is no 3.5mm headphone jack a trade-off that comes with the territory at this price point.

The phone also supports wireless charging, along with a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor for biometric security. An IP65 rating  is mentioned in some specification listings, offering dust and water resistance.

When Does It Launch  and Where?

Honor has officially started teasing the 600 series, with a live microsite already up in Malaysia. Both the Honor 600 and Honor 600 Pro are expected to launch globally, not just in China a significant step for Honor’s international expansion.

Honor’s approach here mirrors how it launched the Honor 400 series which debuted in China in May 2025 before a European rollout. If the same playbook applies, expect the Honor 600 Pro to hit European shelves sometime in late Q2 2026.

Should You Be Excited?

Here’s the honest take.

The design is controversial, and that’s fine. Honor isn’t the first brand to draw from Apple’s visual language, and it certainly won’t be the last. What matters is whether the overall package delivers.

On paper, the Honor 600 Pro looks like a strong proposition: flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite performance, a 200MP camera with OIS, a triple-lens system, and a 9000mAh battery  all for around €600. That’s a price point where most phones make compromises. The Honor 600 Pro, based on everything we know, seems determined not to.

The official launch will tell us the full story. Until then, the live images confirm one thing: this phone is real, it’s coming soon, and it’s built to compete hard.
