HONOR 600 Smart vs Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus
Our Verdict: The HONOR 600 Smart is the newer of the two, a 2026 release against the Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus's 2022. There's more battery in the 600 Smart, 7700mAh to 4500mAh, which should mean longer between charges in day-to-day use, and the 600 Smart has the bigger screen at 6.9" against 6.6", while the S22+ 5G has the sharper one at 390 PPI. The S22+ 5G goes up to 256GB of storage, where the 600 Smart tops out at 128GB, and the S22+ 5G uses an OLED panel, which gives it richer contrast than the 600 Smart's LCD. The 600 Smart is the one to have if you want what it adds, but the S22+ 5G is the smarter buy if you'd rather keep the money.
Buying outright, the S22+ 5G starts at £185 SIM-free.
