HONOR 600 Smart vs Samsung Galaxy S25+
Our Verdict: The HONOR 600 Smart has the bigger battery of the two, 7700mAh against 4900mAh, which usually means longer between charges, and the 600 Smart has the bigger screen at 6.9" against 6.7", while the S25+ has the sharper one at 513 PPI. The S25+ goes up to 512GB of storage, where the 600 Smart tops out at 128GB, and the S25+ uses an OLED panel, which gives it richer contrast than the 600 Smart's LCD. Only pay up for the S25+ if you'll use what it offers; if not, the 600 Smart makes more sense.
