HONOR 600 Lite vs TCL 60R 5G

Our Verdict: For TCL 60R 5G versus HONOR 600 Lite, the recommendation depends mostly on what you want from the hardware. The HONOR is ahead for display quality, with a sharper 303 PPI display, its AMOLED panel, and a higher-resolution 108MP rear camera; the TCL is the better match for 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 better fit for display quality, while the TCL is the one to consider for simplicity.

The 60R 5G is the cheaper one to own: around £240 over a typical contract, £175 less than the 600 Lite.
