HONOR 600 Smart vs Samsung Galaxy A37

Our Verdict: Samsung Galaxy A37 and HONOR 600 Smart suit different priorities. The Samsung is stronger for display quality, helped by a sharper 385 PPI display, its Super AMOLED panel, and 128GB to 256GB storage, while the HONOR is better suited to a higher-resolution 16MP front camera, a larger 7,700 mAh battery, and a lighter 180g body. A bigger mAh figure is useful context, but real battery life still depends on software and chipset efficiency. Choose the Samsung for display quality; choose the HONOR if portability matters more.

The 600 Smart is the cheaper one to own: around £358 over a typical contract, £46 less than the A37.
