HONOR 600 Smart vs Motorola Edge 70

Our Verdict: If you are choosing between Motorola Edge 70 and HONOR 600 Smart, portability is the main reason to lean one way. The Motorola has a sharper 444 PPI display, its P-OLED panel, and a higher-resolution 50MP front camera; the HONOR mainly responds with a larger 7,700 mAh battery. A bigger mAh figure is useful context, but real battery life still depends on software and chipset efficiency. The Motorola is the better fit for portability, while the HONOR is the one to consider for battery size.

The 600 Smart is the cheaper one to own: around £397 over a typical contract, £278 less than the Edge 5G 70.
