Somewhere along the lines in the HONORβs marketing department, a decision must have been done to warrant its recent barrage of βcomplimentsβ towards iPhone designs given how it has marketed the recently-launched HONOR 600 Lite. It certainly wasnβt shy about teasing what looks to be the upcoming HONOR 600 Pro, with a coat of orange that is damn near exact to iPhone 17 Proβs Cosmic Orange color.
Is It An iPhone, Or A HONOR 600 Pro?



Given what was shown in the teaser images, leaked images suggest that the new flagship-class smartphone is sporting a highly similar design to that of the iPhone 17 Pro. For example, itβs got a full width camera bump (βplateauβ in Apple speak) that houses three cameras, whilst the LED flash and sensors are moved to the far side; itβs even got a dedicated button on where the iPhoneβs βCamera Controlβ button was supposedly located, though in this case itβs likely functioning as the remappable βAI Buttonβ, according to HONORβs promotional materials.
HONOR only provides three images and one extra piece of information β itβll have a triple-camera system for imaging. Based on leaked renders shared by WinFuture, the HONOR 600 Pro best fit the description, with two round camera lenses and a third rounded-rectangle lens (pictured left):


While the flow of official information ends here, the leak does suggest another model in the form of βbaseβ HONOR 600 (pictured right). This model also largely copied iPhoneβs look, though it lacks a third camera lens and in its place youβll find the LED flash and additional sensors instead. The result is a phone that seemingly features an unnecessarily large camera bump that serves no purpose other than visually shouting at everyone βMY PHONE LOOKS LIKE IPHONEβ, but maximum commitment in imitation, am I right?
Now, despite HONOR mentioning the term βflagshipβ in its press release, XpertPick (via GSMArena) reported that the hardware actually powering the HONOR 600 Pro is not what youβll necessarily associate a flagship smartphone with. Since the preceding HONOR 400 was powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 SoC, that should give you an idea where the 600 series are positioned; in fact, Geekbench entries suggest itβll be using the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset (based on model name SM7750), which is commonly found in mid-range models.
Either way, weβll know more when the Chinese smartphone maker has decided on a date and time to make a proper launch for its upcoming lineup. Expect specs, pricing and availability to be shared publicly by then.
