Google Pixel 9 Pro vs HONOR 400 Smart
Our Verdict: There's more battery in the HONOR 400 Smart, 6500mAh to 4700mAh, which should mean longer between charges in day-to-day use, and the 400 Smart has the bigger screen at 6.8" against 6.3", while the Google Pixel 9 Pro has the sharper one at 497 PPI. Storage goes higher on the Pixel 9 Pro, up to 512GB against 256GB, and the Pixel 9 Pro uses an OLED panel, which gives it richer contrast than the 400 Smart's LCD. Only pay up for the Pixel 9 Pro if you'll use what it offers; if not, the 400 Smart makes more sense.
The 400 Smart is the cheaper one to own: around £467 over a typical contract, £381 less than the Pixel 9 Pro.
