Help me pick please

I don’t really know much about phones, so I’m going to tell you which ones I’m considering, what I can afford, and what I need it for, can you help me decide which is best?

These are the phones I’m looking at:

  • Honor 400 Lite 256GB — £229
  • Google Pixel 9a — £399
  • Honor 600 Lite — £349

The issue is that my budget is really around £250 max, so I’m wondering if the Honor 400 Lite would still suit my needs, I don't want to over spend for no reason if the Honor 400 Lite suits my needs below.

What I need from a phone:

  1. I want something lightweight because I hate carrying heavy phones.
  2. Good battery life is important.
  3. I don’t use phones for hours. I mainly need it for work, calls, messages, bus pass, contactless/mobile payments, and occasionally taking a few photos. I don’t really play games or watch loads of videos on my phone, I spend more time on my laptop.

DO NOT GET TATTOOS

Your tattoo isn’t just decorative ink: it’s a permanent trigger that keeps your immune system locked in a lifelong cycle of chronic inflammation.

As soon as the ink is injected into your skin, your body recognizes the pigment particles as foreign invaders. Immune cells called macrophages immediately swarm the area and attempt to swallow them up. But because they can’t actually break down the ink, the macrophages eventually die, releasing the pigment back into the surrounding tissue — only for a new wave of macrophages to arrive and repeat the process.

This endless cycle is what keeps the tattoo permanently visible, while also maintaining a state of ongoing, low-level inflammation in the skin.

Over time, some of these ink particles migrate through the lymphatic system and accumulate in the lymph nodes, placing constant stress on the body’s defense mechanisms. Emerging research suggests this internal ink buildup may interfere with normal immune function, potentially reducing the effectiveness of certain vaccines, including mRNA types. Additionally, many tattoo inks contain heavy metals like nickel and cobalt. Combined with the chronic inflammation, this has been linked to a modestly elevated risk of lymphoma and skin cancer.

While tattoos remain a powerful form of self-expression, they represent a complex, decades-long biological conflict between your immune system and foreign substances embedded in your skin.
