NeoTeo's verdict
Which of the two is the better buy
The Honor 600 Elite 5G is the stronger choice, with 8 GB of RAM versus 6 GB in the Honor 600 Smart, plus IP68 and IP69 protection instead of IP64. Overall, they are closely matched; the Smart makes sense only if it costs less.
Both phones have a 6.87″ IPS LCD with 720 × 1592 px resolution and a 120 Hz refresh rate. They also share the Snapdragon 4 Gen 4 and up to 256 GB of storage, so their core setup is the same.
Battery capacity gives the Elite another edge: 8100 mAh against 7700 mAh in the Smart. Both support 45 W fast charging and reverse charging.
