HONOR 400 Smart vs Motorola Moto G35
Our Verdict: The HONOR 400 Smart has the bigger battery of the two, 6500mAh against 5000mAh, which should mean longer between charges in day-to-day use, and the 400 Smart offers up to 256GB of storage versus 128GB on the Motorola Moto G35. The Moto G 35 has the sharper display at 392 PPI to 261, and only the 400 Smart has a water-resistance rating (IP64); the Moto G 35 has none. Only pay up for the Moto G 35 if you'll use what it offers; if not, the 400 Smart makes more sense.
The 400 Smart is the cheaper one to own: around £464 over a typical contract, £225 less than the Moto G 35.
