HONOR 400 Smart vs HONOR 600 Smart

Our Verdict: HONOR 400 Smart and HONOR 600 Smart suit different priorities. The 600 Smart is stronger for camera hardware, helped by a higher-resolution 16MP front camera and a larger 7,700 mAh battery, while the 400 Smart is better suited to 128GB to 256GB storage. A bigger mAh figure is useful context, but real battery life still depends on software and chipset efficiency. Choose the 600 Smart for camera hardware; choose the 400 Smart if storage matters more.

Over a full contract, the 600 Smart works out around £358 all-in, about £111 less than the 400 Smart.
