Honor knows its new 600 Pro has ‘familiar premium aesthetics’ — but it beats the iPhone 17 Pro in two key ways

The iPhone 17 Pro alongside the Honor 600 Pro, both being held in the hand.

Honor has never been shy about revealing its design inspirations. The camera module on the Honor 200 Pro was a nod to Barcelona’s Casa Milá, the Magic 6 Pro’s ‘Star Wheel’ to luxury watchmakers like Panerai, and the Porsche Design Magic 6 RSR’s ‘peakline’ to the Porsche Taycan. I expect the Chinese brand will be less forthcoming about the muse for its latest phone, the Honor 600 Pro.

Honor is pitching its newest mid-ranger (which succeeds the Honor 400 Pro outside of China) as a rival to the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE, but the 600 Pro’s undeniably Apple-inspired looks invite comparison to the iPhone 17 Pro instead.
