HONOR X 5c Plus vs OPPO Reno 13 Pro
Our Verdict: Only the OPPO Reno 13 Pro is a 5G phone; the HONOR X 5c Plus maxes out at 4G, and there's more battery in the Reno 13 Pro, 5800mAh to 5260mAh, which should mean longer between charges in day-to-day use. The Reno 13 Pro offers up to 512GB of storage versus 128GB on the X 5c Plus, and the Reno 13 Pro has the sharper display at 450 PPI to 260. Get the Reno 13 Pro if those extras are worth it to you; otherwise the X 5c Plus covers the basics for less.
The X 5c Plus is the cheaper one to own: around £255 over a typical contract, £342 less than the Reno 13 Pro.
