HONOR 600 Smart vs Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra
Our Verdict: The HONOR 600 Smart is the newer of the two, a 2026 release against the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra's 2022. The S22 Ultra 5G has a considerably higher-resolution main camera, 108MP against the 600 Smart's 50MP, plus a 40MP selfie camera against 16MP, and the 600 Smart packs the bigger battery, 7700mAh against 5000mAh, which usually means longer between charges. Storage goes higher on the S22 Ultra 5G, up to 512GB against 128GB, and the S22 Ultra 5G has the sharper display at 500 PPI to 254. Get the S22 Ultra 5G if those extras are worth it to you; otherwise the 600 Smart covers the basics for less.
Buying outright, the 600 Smart starts at £248 SIM-free.
