HONOR X 6c vs OPPO Reno 16F

Our Verdict: Start with selfie camera resolution: OPPO Reno 16F has a 50MP front camera versus 5MP, plus 1080 x 2372 resolution rather than 720 x 1604. HONOR X 6c pushes back with lower SIM-free starting price around £87, which helps if you want to keep the upfront cost down. Your decision should favour OPPO Reno 16F for selfies and video calls, or HONOR X 6c for lower upfront cost.

If you'd rather pay up front, the X 6c is the cheaper buy at £89 SIM-free.
