Our Verdict: The HONOR X 5c Plus has the better camera on paper, 50MP versus 12MP, and the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 5G supports 5G while the X 5c Plus tops out at 4G. The X 5c Plus packs the bigger battery, 5260mAh against 4000mAh, which should mean longer between charges in day-to-day use, and the Galaxy Z Flip6 5G goes up to 512GB of storage, where the X 5c Plus tops out at 128GB.
