HONOR 400 Lite vs TCL K70 4G

Our Verdict: HONOR 400 Lite has the clearer hardware edge over TCL K70 4G, especially a sharper 394 PPI display, the higher-resolution 108MP rear camera, and the stronger 16MP front camera. The rest of the decision is about whether you value the extra spec points more than keeping the cost down. Choose HONOR 400 Lite if you will use those extras, but keep TCL K70 4G in the running if its price is meaningfully lower when you buy.

The K70 4G is the cheaper one to own: around £227 over a typical contract, £75 less than the 400 Lite.
