HONOR 600 vs HONOR X 5c Plus

Our Verdict: The clearest split between HONOR X 5c Plus and HONOR 600 is display quality against simplicity. For the 600, that means a sharper 458 PPI display, its AMOLED panel, and a higher-resolution 200MP rear camera. The 5c Plus is easier to recommend for a 6.7-inch TFT LCD display at 260 PPI, a 50MP rear camera, and a 5MP front camera. A bigger mAh figure is useful context, but real battery life still depends on software and chipset efficiency. Go with the 600 for display quality; lean toward the 5c Plus if simplicity is higher on your list.

The X 5c Plus is the cheaper one to own: around £262 over a typical contract, £236 less than the 600.
