In Europe, the Honor 600 Pro is 43% more expensive than the vanilla model. However, in Malaysia, the upcharge is only 27% – and that makes a difference. The Pro was always the better phone between the two, the only question was whether its higher price was worth it.

| 12/256GB | €650 | – | – | MYR 3,100 |
| 12/512GB | €700 | MYR 2,600 | €1,000 | MYR 3,300 |
Based on last week’s survey, the answer is a resounding “yes.” Well, the Honor 600 Pro isn’t the hottest new phone in town and the price is definitely a concern. But if people are buying Honor 600, it is the Pro variant. You’ll see this even more clearly in the next pie chart.
A third of voters show interest in the Pro, although some of them are waiting for the reviews to come in before making up their minds. The higher-end chipset (Snapdragon 8 Elite vs 7 Gen 4), 50MP 3.5x telephoto camera and wireless charging (50W) tipped the scale in favor of the Pro.
But that €1,000 price tag is hard to swallow – there are true flagships at or even below this price point. And the Honor 600 Pro doesn’t have the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, an LTPO display, or some other features (like an ultrasonic fingerprint reader) that a proper flagship should have.

Of course, MSRP and street price aren’t the same thing, but the 600 Pro needs a solid discount before it can sell well. People in the comments pointed out that they could get the Honor Magic8 Pro for around the same price – now that’s a true flagship. The Poco F and Xiaomi T models are also in contention.
The Honor 600 is a capable mid-ranger – one commenter managed to get one for €150 less than MSRP (and with some Honor goodies). This is a deal we can make. But at MSRP, take a look – 19% of people would prefer the Pro model, while 20% are looking at other brands.
A spot check on the Honor Germany site shows that the Honor 400 Pro (12/512GB) is available for €550 – which is €150 less than the comparable Honor 600. old pro a lot is being done for this: A Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip (which is older, but it’s significantly smaller than the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4), a 50MP 3x telephoto camera, a larger 6.7” display, and fast charging (100W wired, 50W wireless). The 5,300mAh battery is quite small by Si/C standards (and 1,100mAh smaller than the Honor 600 battery).
If you have your heart set on the Honor 600, we’d advise you to wait until you find a solid discount.
