Google Pixel 9 vs HONOR 400 Pro

Our Verdict: 400 Pro has the more compelling hardware case here, led by a larger 6.7" screen, a higher-resolution 200MP rear camera, and a larger 5,300 mAh battery. Pixel 9 still covers the core phone basics, so it is mainly the simpler alternative. The cheaper route is clear at today's prices: Pixel 9 is the cheaper contract option shown, at about £697.96 over the deal. 400 Pro is easier to recommend for the bigger display, while Pixel 9 is the budget-led choice.

Over a full contract, the Pixel 9 works out around £698 all-in, about £300 less than the 400 Pro.
