HONOR 400 Pro vs OPPO Reno 16

Our Verdict: With HONOR 400 Pro versus OPPO Reno 16, the stronger argument is portability. The OPPO has the useful edge there with a higher-resolution 50MP front camera, a larger 6,700 mAh battery, and a lighter 188g body. The HONOR still has a role if you prefer a larger 6.7-inch screen and a higher-resolution 200MP rear camera. A bigger mAh figure is useful context, but real battery life still depends on software and chipset efficiency. The OPPO is the stronger choice for portability, with the HONOR better suited to screen size.

The Reno 16 is the cheaper one to own: around £605 over a typical contract, £393 less than the 400 Pro.
