HONOR 400 vs Motorola Edge 70

Our Verdict: The HONOR 400 leads on camera hardware with a 200MP main sensor to the Motorola Edge 70's 50MP, and the HONOR 400 packs the bigger battery, 5300mAh against 4800mAh, which should mean longer between charges in day-to-day use. The Motorola Edge 70 has the bigger screen at 6.7" against 6.6", while the HONOR 400 has the sharper one at 460 PPI, and the Motorola Edge 70 is the lighter phone at 159g against 184g. Unusually, the cheaper HONOR 400 takes some of the spec wins as well, so it's the obvious choice for most people.
