HONOR X 6c vs Motorola Edge 70
Our Verdict: Only the Motorola Edge 70 is a 5G phone; the HONOR X 6c maxes out at 4G, and there's more battery in the X 6c, 5300mAh to 4800mAh, which usually means longer between charges. Storage goes higher on the Edge 5G 70, up to 512GB against 256GB, and the Edge 5G 70 has the sharper display at 444 PPI to 266. The Edge 5G 70 is the one to have if you want what it adds, but the X 6c is the smarter buy if you'd rather keep the money.
