Apple iPhone 13 vs HONOR 400
Our Verdict: The HONOR 400 has the better camera on paper, 200MP versus 12MP, plus a 50MP selfie camera against 12MP, and there's more battery in the HONOR 400, 5300mAh to 3227mAh, but capacity doesn't compare cleanly across iOS and Android, so it isn't a battery-life verdict on its own. The HONOR 400 has the bigger screen, 6.6" against 6.1", and the Apple iPhone 13 is the lighter phone at 173g against 184g. Unusually, the cheaper HONOR 400 takes some of the spec wins as well, so it's the obvious choice for most people.
On price there's almost nothing between them: both work out around £373 over a full contract.
