HONOR 600 Smart vs Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra
Our Verdict: The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra leads on camera hardware with a 200MP main sensor to the HONOR 600 Smart's 50MP, and there's more battery in the 600 Smart, 7700mAh to 5000mAh, which usually means longer between charges. Storage goes higher on the S25 Ultra, up to 1TB against 128GB, and the S25 Ultra has the sharper display at 505 PPI to 254. Get the S25 Ultra if those extras are worth it to you; otherwise the 600 Smart covers the basics for less.
