HONOR 600 Lite vs Samsung Galaxy XCover 7

Our Verdict: With Samsung Galaxy XCover 7 versus HONOR 600 Lite, the stronger argument is portability. The HONOR has the useful edge there with its AMOLED panel, a higher-resolution 108MP rear camera, and a higher-resolution 16MP front camera. The Samsung still has a role if you prefer a sharper 400 PPI display. 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 portability, with the Samsung better suited to display quality.

Over a full contract, the Galaxy XCover 7 works out around £380 all-in, about £35 less than the 600 Lite.
