HONOR 600 vs Samsung Galaxy A16 5G
Our Verdict: The HONOR 600 leads on camera hardware with a 200MP main sensor to the Samsung Galaxy A16 5G's 50MP, plus a 50MP selfie camera against 13MP, and the HONOR 600 has the bigger battery of the two, 6400mAh against 5000mAh, which should mean longer between charges in day-to-day use. The HONOR 600 offers up to 512GB of storage versus 128GB on the Samsung Galaxy A16 5G, and the HONOR 600 has the sharper display at 458 PPI to 385. Get the HONOR 600 if those extras are worth it to you; otherwise the Samsung Galaxy A16 5G covers the basics for less.
If you'd rather pay up front, the Samsung Galaxy A16 5G is the cheaper buy at £140 SIM-free.
