Honor Magic4 Pro vs HONOR Magic 6 Lite 5G
Our Verdict: The Magic4 Pro and the Magic 6 Lite 5G are two years apart, which is enough for a real difference. The 6 Lite 5G has the better camera on paper, 108MP versus 64MP, plus a 16MP selfie camera against 12MP, and there's more battery in the 6 Lite 5G, 5300mAh to 4600mAh, which should mean longer between charges in day-to-day use. The 4 Pro 5G has the sharper display at 460 PPI to 431, and the 6 Lite 5G is the lighter phone at 185g against 209g. If you're on the 4 Pro 5G, the 6 Lite 5G is a real step up, but only worth it if the changes above matter to you.
Buying outright, the 6 Lite 5G starts at £230 SIM-free.
