HONOR Magic 8 Lite vs Samsung Galaxy S25 Enterprise Edition
Our Verdict: The HONOR Magic 8 Lite has a considerably higher-resolution main camera, 108MP against the Samsung Galaxy S25 Enterprise Edition's 50MP, plus a 16MP selfie camera against 12MP, and the Magic 8 Lite packs the bigger battery, 7500mAh against 4000mAh, which should mean longer between charges in day-to-day use. Storage goes higher on the Magic 8 Lite, up to 512GB against 128GB, and the Magic 8 Lite has the bigger screen, 6.8" against 6.2". Unusually, the cheaper Magic 8 Lite takes some of the spec wins as well, so it's the obvious choice for most people.
