The newly launched Honor 600 Pro is available to buy now, with a starting price of £899.
Dimensity 9500 vs Snapdragon 8 Elite
Another major difference between the two handsets is the respective processors. While the Xiaomi 17T Pro uses the MediaTek Dimensity 9500, the Honor 600 Pro is powered by Qualcomm’s 2025 flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite.
Although the Snapdragon 8 Elite is now more than a year old and has been succeeded by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, the chip still performs very well and will no doubt serve many users well. Naturally it doesn’t benchmark higher than its predecessor, however everything from general scrolling, live streaming and even gaming on the Honor 600 Pro feels responsive without the slightest lag.
Like flagships like the Oppo Find X9 Pro, which is equipped with the same chip, we found the Xiaomi 17T Pro to fly perfectly for daily use and does not mark much behind the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 either.
The Honor 600 Pro has a 200MP primary camera
Both the Xiaomi 17T Pro and the Honor 600 Pro are equipped with three rear cameras, although they differ in their offerings. Designed in collaboration with Leica, the Xiaomi 17T Pro sports a 50MP main camera, a 50MP 5x telephoto and a 12MP wide setup, and Xiaomi promises that the range will deliver “amazing versatility” and is the first of Xiaomi’s handsets to support 4K 60fps cinema recording.
In comparison, Honor 600 Pro is equipped with 200MP main, 50MP 3.5x periscope and 12MP ultrawide. In general, we concluded that the Honor 600 Pro is capable of capturing detailed images in good lighting conditions, with a telephoto lens that allows a strong zoom function of up to 3.5x. You can push it up to 7x before images start to lose their detail.
However, we struggled a bit when shooting in low light. Like other Honor handsets, photos taken in dark conditions had a tendency to look oddly smooth – especially when taking pictures of people.
Otherwise, one of the main features with the Honor 600 Pro is its Image to Video 2.0 feature, which turns up to three photos into an AI-generated video. It’s definitely a novelty rather than a serious tool, but it works very well and can be fun.
The Xiaomi 17T Pro is huge
With a 6.83-inch display, the Xiaomi 17T Pro is slightly larger than the 6.57-inch Honor 600 Pro. Whether you choose a large or small phone, however, depends entirely on your personal preference and how you plan to use your phone. For example, active streamers and gamers will likely prefer to have a larger screen to play on, while those who prefer portability and portability will prefer a smaller option.
Regardless of size, both phones have 1.5K AMOLED panels and support 1-120Hz refresh rates. However, the 17T Pro boasts up to 144Hz which is better suited to gamers – although we’d advise serious gamers to visit our best gaming phones instead.
The Honor 600 Pro has IP68, IP69 and IP69K ratings
It’s fair to say that, when it comes to durability, Honor didn’t take any chances with the 600 Pro. With IP68, IP69 and IP69K ratings, the Honor 600 Pro is dustproof, can withstand submersion and exposure to high temperatures and high-pressure water jets. In comparison, the Xiaomi 17T Pro is equipped with a more conservative IP68 rating.
Although that may sound trivial in comparison, the IP68 rating is undoubtedly very important. After all, how often will your phone be exposed to jets of hot water?
The battery of Xiaomi 17T Pro is big
The Xiaomi 17T Pro is equipped with a 7000mAh cell that Xiaomi promises should see about 1.88 days of life before the release. Then when it’s time to recharge, the 17T Pro supports 100W and 50W wired charging speeds. However, keep in mind that you’ll need to invest in compatible chargers separately to benefit from those speeds.
In comparison, the Honor 600 Pro has a smaller battery of just 6400mAh and supports 80W wired speed and 50W wireless speed. While that falls a bit short of the Xiaomi 17T Pro, we still found that the Honor 600 Pro handled the day with six hours of solid screen-on time before running out of battery.
Preliminary Decision
Since we haven’t reviewed the Xiaomi 17T Pro yet, it’s hard to give a definitive verdict at this stage. However, with the 17T Pro equipped with MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500 chip, Leica lenses and the promise of nearly two days of battery life, Xiaomi’s latest handset looks like a promising option.
On the other hand, the Honor 600 Pro is a capable snapper, sports a solid Qualcomm chip (even if it’s a year old) and has a very portable design. In fact, if you’re someone who misses smaller handsets, the Honor 600 Pro could be a good compromise.
We’ll be sure to review this in comparison once we review the Xiaomi 17T Pro.
