HONOR X 6c vs Samsung Galaxy S25 FE
Our Verdict: Only the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE is a 5G phone; the HONOR X 6c maxes out at 4G, and the X 6c has the bigger battery of the two, 5300mAh against 4900mAh, which should mean longer between charges in day-to-day use. The S25 FE offers up to 512GB of storage versus 256GB on the X 6c, and the S25 FE has the sharper display at 385 PPI to 266. The S25 FE 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.
