HONOR X 6c vs OPPO Reno 16F
Our Verdict: Only the OPPO Reno 16F is a 5G phone; the HONOR X 6c maxes out at 4G, and the Reno 16F packs the bigger battery, 7000mAh against 5300mAh, which should mean longer between charges in day-to-day use. The Reno 16F goes up to 512GB of storage, where the X 6c tops out at 256GB, and the Reno 16F has the sharper display at 397 PPI to 266. The Reno 16F 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.
If you'd rather pay up front, the X 6c is the cheaper buy at £87 SIM-free.
