HONOR X 5c Plus vs OPPO Reno 16F
Our Verdict: Only the OPPO Reno 16F is a 5G phone; the HONOR X 5c Plus maxes out at 4G, and the Reno 16F packs the bigger battery, 7000mAh against 5260mAh, which should mean longer between charges in day-to-day use. The X 5c Plus has the bigger screen at 6.7" against 6.6", while the Reno 16F has the sharper one at 397 PPI, and storage goes higher on the Reno 16F, up to 512GB against 128GB. Get the Reno 16F if those extras are worth it to you; otherwise the X 5c Plus covers the basics for less.
If you'd rather pay up front, the X 5c Plus is the cheaper buy at £77 SIM-free.
