HONOR 400 Lite vs HONOR 70
Our Verdict: The 400 Lite and 70 are both from the same brand, but the 400 Lite is a mid-range phone and the 70 a flagship. The 400 Lite leads on camera hardware with a 108MP main sensor to the 70's 54MP, and there's more battery in the 400 Lite, 5230mAh to 4800mAh, which should mean longer between charges in day-to-day use. Only the 400 Lite has a water-resistance rating (IP64); the 70 has none. Unusually, the cheaper 400 Lite takes some of the spec wins as well, so it's the obvious choice for most people.
