HONOR 600 Lite vs Samsung Galaxy S22

Our Verdict: The HONOR 600 Lite has a considerably higher-resolution main camera, 108MP against the Samsung Galaxy S22's 50MP, plus a 16MP selfie camera against 10MP, and there's more battery in the 600 Lite, 6520mAh to 3700mAh, which usually means longer between charges. The 600 Lite has the bigger screen at 6.6" against 6.1", while the S22 5G has the sharper one at 422 PPI, and the S22 5G is the lighter phone at 167g against 180g. The S22 5G is the one to have if you want what it adds, but the 600 Lite is the smarter buy if you'd rather keep the money.

The 600 Lite is the cheaper one to own: around £375 over a typical contract, £58 less than the S22 5G.
