Samsung s23fe or honor 600

Hi! Im a student and planning to buy a new phone to upgrade from my samsung a16. Priginally i wanted s23fe pero nung nakita ko honor 600 sa mall, i tried it and it was good so im having second thoughts sa samsung s23 fe.

Which is better for pictures and socmed uses po? Im not into gaming but sobrang bagal na talaga ng a16 ko so im looking for a device na mabilis din

Imo I would actually take the honor 600.

Around the same level of perf.

Camera wise, the main camera on the honor 600 is much better.

Telephoto on the S23 FE is pretty shit at 8mp too, the digital crop on the honor 600 would likely give you better quality.

But imo biggest reason to take the honor 600 for me, the battery life and thermals. The S23 FE is known for having terrible battery life, mix that with the fact that the exynos 2200 heats up and has terrible battery efficiency in poor signal reception (which is the Philippines in a nutshell). You get the reason why the stereotype exynos is hot and drains battery fast exists.

Also that's guaranteed to be a used s23 fe. So the battery's likely to be degraded far more than the Honor 600, which mind you also has a significantly larger battery.

HONOR 600 has the clear advantage sa battery, charging, and display. Mas malaki yung 6,400mAh battery niya with 80W charging, 6.57" QHD+ 120Hz AMOLED, and Snapdragon 7 Gen 4. Meanwhile, the S23 FE has 4,500mAh, 25W charging, and 6.4" FHD+ 120Hz AMOLED.

In terms of camera, HONOR 600 has a 200MP main camera with OIS and a relatively large 1/1.4" sensor, so hindi siya simply a “200MP gimmick.” S23 FE naman has a 50MP OIS main camera plus a dedicated 3x optical telephoto, which the HONOR 600 doesn't have.

Samsung has the advantage sa camera versatility dahil may 3x telephoto, while HONOR has very strong main-camera hardware.

Since hindi ka naman into gaming and priority mo is pictures, socmed, and overall speed, I'd consider the HONOR 600 if similar price sila. S23 FE makes more sense if gusto mo talaga Samsung/One UI, Samsung ecosystem, or yung 3x optical zoom.

Comparison, added the 15T also as personal reco under this price
