HONOR 400 Lite vs TCL K70 4G

Our Verdict: HONOR 400 Lite and TCL K70 4G suit different priorities. The HONOR is stronger for portability, helped by a sharper 394 PPI display, its AMOLED panel, and a higher-resolution 108MP rear camera, while the TCL is better suited to a 6.8-inch IPS LCD display at 254 PPI, a 50MP rear camera, and an 8MP front camera. Choose the HONOR for portability; choose the TCL if simplicity matters more.

The K70 4G is the cheaper one to own: around £227 over a typical contract, £559 less than the 400 Lite.
