Honor’s next phones might feel very familiar, and that seems entirely intentional. Leaked renders of the Honor 600 and Honor 600 Pro, shared by Roland Quandt via WinFuture, show a design that closely mirrors Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro, right down to the details.
The resemblance is uncanny. Both Honor phones are shown with a wide, horizontal camera bar running across the back, housing the cameras, flash, and sensors in a single strip, very similar to the iPhone 17 Pro models’ design. Even the colour choices line up. Alongside black and gold, there’s a bright orange finish that closely echoes Apple’s Cosmic Orange variant, making the comparison even harder to ignore.
Interestingly, this isn’t the first time Honor has taken “inspiration” from Apple. The Honor 500 series, launched in November 2025, took cues from the iPhone Air with a visor-like horizontal camera bar and a flatter, glass-and-metal build. It also introduced a more seamless, blended look with its cold-carved back. With the 600 series, the softer, integrated visor design is gone, replaced by something sharper and more defined, much closer to the iPhone 17 Pro’s structured camera layout.
Honor 600 series specifications (expected)
Hardware details are still not fully confirmed, but leaks point to a Snapdragon 8 series chipset, placing these phones in the upper mid-range space. On the camera side, both are expected to feature a 200MP main sensor with optical image stabilisation, with the Pro model adding more lenses for flexibility. There’s also mention of a dedicated camera button, also very Apple-like. Both models are tipped to feature a 6.57-inch OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and 1.5K resolution, along with a single punch-hole camera.
The battery could end up being the differentiator. The Honor 600 series is said to pack a 9,000mAh unit, significantly larger than the typical 5,000-7,000mAh batteries in this segment. If that translates well in everyday use, battery life could be a major advantage. Other expected features include a metal frame, glass back, wireless charging, and a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor.
The Honor 600 series will sit in the upper mid-range space, where performance and cameras are already competitive across brands. The design will likely grab early attention, but how it’s priced, and how it performs, will decide how far it goes. There’s no official launch date yet, but with detailed renders already out, more information is likely to follow soon.
Honor seems to be playing it smart here, leaning into a design that already works for a lot of people, while backing it up with big battery and camera numbers to stand out. It’s less about being different, more about being familiar but offering more where it counts. If you like the iPhone-style look but want Android and longer battery life, this could be an easy pick.
