HONOR 600 Smart vs Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge

Our Verdict: The clearest split between Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge and HONOR 600 Smart is portability against camera hardware. For the Samsung, that means a sharper 513 PPI display, its Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel, and a higher-resolution 200MP rear camera. The HONOR is easier to recommend for a higher-resolution 16MP front camera and a larger 7,700 mAh battery. A bigger mAh figure is useful context, but real battery life still depends on software and chipset efficiency. Go with the Samsung for portability; lean toward the HONOR if camera hardware is higher on your list.

Over a full contract, the 600 Smart works out around £358 all-in, about £290 less than the S25 Edge.
