HONOR X 6c vs Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge
Our Verdict: The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge leads on camera hardware with a 200MP main sensor to the HONOR X 6c's 50MP, plus a 12MP selfie camera against 5MP, and only the S25 Edge is a 5G phone; the X 6c maxes out at 4G. The X 6c has the bigger battery of the two, 5300mAh against 3900mAh, which usually means longer between charges, and the S25 Edge goes up to 512GB of storage, where the X 6c tops out at 256GB. Only pay up for the S25 Edge if you'll use what it offers; if not, the X 6c makes more sense.
