Differences in daily life
Battery and charging
Best: OnePlus Nord 6The OnePlus Nord 6 has the bigger battery (7,500 mAh vs 5,200 mAh on the Honor), which may help it last longer between charges.
It also charges faster by cable (80 W vs 35 W on the Honor), so it tops up quicker with a compatible charger.
Screen
Best: OnePlus Nord 6The OnePlus Nord 6 has an OLED screen where the Honor has LCD, so blacks look deeper and colours stand out more.
It also has the brighter screen (3,600 nits vs 850 nits on the Honor), so it is easier to read in strong sunlight.
Camera
Best: OnePlus Nord 6The OnePlus Nord 6 is the only one with an ultra-wide camera, so it fits more into group shots and landscapes.
Its selfie camera also has more megapixels (32 MP vs 5 MP on the Honor), so selfies and video calls can look more detailed.
Speed
Best: OnePlus Nord 6The OnePlus Nord 6's chip (Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 4) scores higher in benchmark tests than the one in the Honor (Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 2), so it should feel quicker in demanding apps and games.
Toughness
Best: OnePlus Nord 6The OnePlus Nord 6 has the better water and dust rating (IP69K vs IP64 on the Honor), so it is rated to survive being dropped in water, not just splashes.
It also claims the MIL-STD-810H standard for drops and shocks; the Honor's specs do not.
Size and weight
EvenBoth have a similar size (162.5 × 77.5 mm and 166.9 × 76.8 mm) and similar screen sizes (6.78 inches and 6.8 inches), close enough not to matter much day to day.
