Google Pixel 9 Pro vs HONOR 600 Lite
Our Verdict: The HONOR 600 Lite came out in 2026, after the Google Pixel 9 Pro in 2024, so it's the more recent phone. The 600 Lite has the better camera on paper, 108MP versus 50MP, and the 600 Lite packs the bigger battery, 6520mAh against 4700mAh, which should mean longer between charges in day-to-day use. The 600 Lite has the bigger screen at 6.6" against 6.3", while the Pixel 9 Pro has the sharper one at 497 PPI, and storage goes higher on the Pixel 9 Pro, up to 512GB against 256GB. Only pay up for the Pixel 9 Pro if you'll use what it offers; if not, the 600 Lite makes more sense.
The 600 Lite is the cheaper one to own: around £406 over a typical contract, £444 less than the Pixel 9 Pro.
