HONOR 400 Smart vs Motorola Moto G 06

Our Verdict: If you are choosing between HONOR 400 Smart and Motorola Moto G 06, battery size is the main reason to lean one way. The HONOR has a larger 6,500 mAh battery and 128GB to 256GB storage; the Motorola mainly responds with a 6.9-inch IPS LCD display at 260 PPI, a 50MP rear camera, and an 8MP front camera. A bigger mAh figure is useful context, but real battery life still depends on software and chipset efficiency. The HONOR is the better fit for battery size, while the Motorola is the one to consider for simplicity.

Over a full contract, the Moto G 06 works out around £202 all-in, about £265 less than the 400 Smart.
