HONOR 400 Smart vs TCL 60R 5G

Our Verdict: With HONOR 400 Smart versus TCL 60R 5G, the stronger argument is battery size. The HONOR has the useful edge there with a larger 6,500 mAh battery and 128GB to 256GB storage. The TCL still has a role if you prefer a 6.7-inch IPS LCD display at 262 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 stronger choice for battery size, with the TCL better suited to simplicity.

The 60R 5G is the cheaper one to own: around £240 over a typical contract, £474 less than the 400 Smart.
