The topic Honor 600 is a spec-heavy budget flagship that looks a lot like an iPhone [Gallery]<\/strong> is currently the subject of lively discussion \u2014 readers and analysts are keeping a close eye on developments.<\/p>\n

This is taking place in a dynamic environment: companies\u2019 decisions and competitors\u2019 reactions can quickly change the picture.<\/p>\n

Honor has just unveiled its new budget-friendly Honor 600, with a pretty spec-heavy package wrapped up in an iPhone-inspired shell.<\/p>\n

On paper, the Honor 600 is a pretty great little package. A 6.57-inch AMOLED display hits 120Hz with a 3,840Hz PWM dimming rate and, most importantly, 8,000 nits of peak HDR brightness. That\u2019s wild for a smartphone in general, even more so one that\u2019s at all on the budget side. The asterisk is that it only kicks in with Netflix and Amazon Video. Still, it beats out even Honor\u2019s flagship models.<\/p>\n

This is running on top of a Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset, 8GB\/12GB of RAM, 256GB\/512GB of storage, and Android 16. The phone is IP68\/69\/69K dust\/water resistant, and features two rear cameras with a 200MP primary and a 12MP ultrawide that doubles as a macro camera.<\/p>\n

Rounding things out, there\u2019s a 7,000 mAh battery stuffed inside of the 7.8mm chassis, and the whole thing weighs just 190g \u2013 just a bit more than a Pixel 10a. It supports 80W charging and a lot of AI features.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s an Honor 600 Pro, too, but the company didn\u2019t provide full specs for that device ahead of today\u2019s launch.<\/p>\n

For the price, this all looks fairly solid. In Malaysia, Honor 600 is RM2,599. That\u2019s around $650 USD when directly converted, not that this phone will go on sale Stateside. That\u2019s only a tiny bit more than the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro, as one point of comparison. Honor 600 will launch in the EU, but pricing wasn\u2019t provided early. The EU version does have a smaller 6,400 mAh battery.<\/p>\n

But, it\u2019s hard to completely ignore the elephant in the room.<\/p>\n

Or, at least it looks exactly like one. From the camera array to the \u201cwindow\u201d across the back, Honor\u2019s latest device sure does look a lot like Apple\u2019s. It even comes in a similar shade of orange. Honor already did this with its super-thin iPhone Air competitor, and now it\u2019s made it to budget models too.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve got an Honor 600 here which, on very first impressions, is really solid. The hardware feels remarkably nice, and shockingly light for everything it brings to the table. That\u2019s probably helped by the plastic backplate, but one could easily be fooled into thinking it\u2019s glass.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for further impressions soon \u2013 there are just so many phones for us to keep up with right now.<\/p>\n
