Apple iPhone 15 vs HONOR 600
Our Verdict: The HONOR 600 has the better camera on paper, 200MP versus 48MP, plus a 50MP selfie camera against 12MP, and the HONOR 600 packs the bigger battery, 6400mAh against 3349mAh, though iOS and Android manage power differently, so more mAh doesn't always mean longer battery life. The HONOR 600 has the bigger screen, 6.6" against 6.1", and the Apple iPhone 15 is the lighter phone at 171g against 185g. Unusually, the cheaper HONOR 600 takes some of the spec wins as well, so it's the obvious choice for most people.
Over a full contract, the HONOR 600 works out around £461 all-in, about £60 less than the Apple iPhone 15.
