Apple iPhone 17 Pro vs HONOR 600 Pro

Our Verdict: This comparison is less one-sided than the names suggest: the Apple iPhone 17 Pro brings up to 1TB storage, but the HONOR 600 Pro counters with the larger 6.57" screen versus 6.3", the higher-resolution 200MP rear camera against 48MP, the sharper 50MP selfie camera. The HONOR 600 Pro is currently cheaper on the lowest total contract cost at about £649, roughly £294 less than the Apple iPhone 17 Pro. There is also much wider deal availability for the Apple iPhone 17 Pro, with 19,123 active deals versus 1,103. Software preference matters as well, because this is an iOS versus Android choice as much as a hardware comparison. That makes the HONOR 600 Pro the value-led pick, unless up to 1TB storage on the Apple iPhone 17 Pro is worth paying extra for.

The 600 Pro is the cheaper one to own: around £681 over a typical contract, £438 less than the iPhone 17 Pro.
