GoSolo Verdict
The Honor 600 Smart is a large, feature-packed budget phone that swaps a traditional flagship's refinement for raw value: a bright 6.87-inch screen, solid 50MP main camera, and a hefty 8100mAh battery for £249. It stumbles where it counts—a 720p screen at this size looks soft, the Snapdragon 4 Gen 4 is slow by 2026 standards, and plastic all over cheapens the feel—making it a phone for people who prioritize battery life and screen real estate over speed or looks.</ai_summary>
<parameter name="pros">[
"8100mAh battery with 5G support offers multiple days of actual use, a rare comfort at this price.",
"6.87-inch screen is genuinely spacious for media and reading; 120Hz makes scrolling smooth enough.",
"50MP main camera with f/1.8 and PDAF captures competent daylight shots without the blur or muddy processing common in ultra-budget rivals.",
"IP68 water and dust rating (in LATAM; EU gets IP64) plus 2.5m drop resistance shows durable build despite plastic casing."

Trade-offs · 3
- 720p resolution on a 6.87-inch screen yields just 254 ppi—text is visibly pixelated and fine details blur, a significant step backward from the 300+ ppi norm.
- Snapdragon 4 Gen 4 is underpowered; daily lag in app switching and gaming is noticeable, and it will feel outdated within a year.
- Plastic frame and back with a glass front feel cheap in hand; no microSD slot locks you into the variant you buy.
