Differences in daily life
Battery and charging
Best: Honor 600 ProThe Honor 600 Pro has the bigger battery (6,400 mAh vs 5,100 mAh on the Pixel), which may help it last longer between charges.
It also charges faster by cable (80 W vs 30 W on the Pixel), so it tops up quicker with a compatible charger.
Screen
Best: Honor 600 ProThe Honor 600 Pro has the brighter screen (8,000 nits vs 3,000 nits on the Pixel), so it is easier to read in strong sunlight.
Camera
Best: Honor 600 ProThe Honor 600 Pro is the only one with a zoom lens (3.5x), so it can get closer to faraway subjects without cropping the photo.

It is also thinner (7.8 mm vs 9 mm on the Pixel), so it feels slimmer in the hand.
Software updates
Best: Pixel 10aThe Pixel 10a promises more major Android upgrades (7 vs 6 on the Honor), so it should get new Android versions for longer.
