HONOR 400 Smart 4G vs Honor Magic4 Pro
Our Verdict: Same maker, different budgets: the 400 Smart 4G is the cheaper option and the Magic4 Pro the premium one. The 4 Pro 5G has a clearly higher-resolution main camera, 64MP against the Smart 4G's 50MP, plus a 12MP selfie camera against 5MP, and only the 4 Pro 5G is a 5G phone; the Smart 4G maxes out at 4G. The Smart 4G packs the bigger battery, 6500mAh against 4600mAh, which usually means longer between charges, and the 4 Pro 5G goes up to 256GB of storage, where the Smart 4G tops out at 128GB. Only pay up for the 4 Pro 5G if you'll use what it offers; if not, the Smart 4G makes more sense.
If you'd rather pay up front, the Smart 4G is the cheaper buy at £149 SIM-free.
