HONOR 600 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy A17

Our Verdict: With Samsung Galaxy A17 versus HONOR 600 Pro, the stronger argument is display quality. The HONOR has the useful edge there with a sharper 458 PPI display, its AMOLED panel, and a higher-resolution 200MP rear camera. The Samsung still has a role if you prefer its Super AMOLED panel. 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 display quality, with the Samsung better suited to simplicity.

Over a full contract, the A17 works out around £261 all-in, about £424 less than the 600 Pro.
