HONOR 600 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy S26+

Our Verdict: The clearest split between Samsung Galaxy S26+ and HONOR 600 Pro is display quality against simplicity. For the HONOR, that means its AMOLED panel, a higher-resolution 200MP rear camera, and a higher-resolution 50MP front camera. The Samsung is easier to recommend for a sharper 513 PPI display and its Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X panel. A bigger mAh figure is useful context, but real battery life still depends on software and chipset efficiency. Go with the HONOR for display quality; lean toward the Samsung if simplicity is higher on your list.

Over a full contract, the 600 Pro works out around £685 all-in, about £131 less than the S26+.
