Google Pixel 9 vs HONOR 400 Pro
Our Verdict: The HONOR 400 Pro leads on camera hardware with a 200MP main sensor to the Google Pixel 9's 50MP, plus a 16MP selfie camera against 5MP, and there's more battery in the 400 Pro, 5300mAh to 4700mAh, which should mean longer between charges in day-to-day use. The 400 Pro has the stronger screen, bigger at 6.7" against 6.3" and sharper at 442 PPI, and storage goes higher on the 400 Pro, up to 512GB against 256GB. Get the 400 Pro if those extras are worth it to you; otherwise the Pixel 9 covers the basics for less.
Over a full contract, the Pixel 9 works out around £691 all-in, about £305 less than the 400 Pro.
