Honor’s flagship this year has been released in advance, but there will also be models equipped with Snapdragon 8+ and the Honor X40 with a large screen and large battery. However, instead of talking about new phones today, let’s take a look at last year’s top flagship of Honor, Honor Magic3 Ultimate edition. New phones are online, old models are discounted, and after a straight price reduction of 1,000, the Honor Magic3 Ultimate Edition 12+512GB is now selling for 6,999, and the price is still strong. After all, this year’s Xiaomi 12S ultra 512GB is also 6,999, Honor Magic3 Ultimate Edition VS Xiaomi 12S ultra, Which one is more worth buying?

Appearance: A duel of looks, whoever is ugly loses

First of all, in terms of appearance, both models are top-notch flagships. There is nothing to be picky about in terms of materials and workmanship, especially the Honor Magic3 Ultimate Edition, which looks very similar to a Huawei Porsche. The rear camera modules are all very large, but from a subjective point of view, I still prefer the Honor Magic3 Ultimate Edition. After all, it uses a ceramic body and an 89° screen bending rate. The visual effect is very shocking. Not only is the texture outstanding, but the quality is also very good.

Xiaomi 12S ultra is made of silicone plain leather with a leather texture that is soft and comfortable. Because the camera components are too large, the rear lens module protrudes a few millimeters. The body thickness reaches 9mm and the weight is 225g. This is also The reason why Xiaomi abandons the use of ceramic body and uses ceramic materials again, it is not a dream for the body weight to exceed 250g. Both phones have their own characteristics, and aesthetics are subjective. It just depends on your preference. I prefer the design style of Honor Magic3 Ultimate Edition, which is full of recognition, comfortable to hold, high screen-to-body ratio, and the back cover looks like Relatively pleasing to the eye.

screen: It’s really hard to choose.

are both top-notch flagships, and the configurations are not bad. The screens of Honor Magic3 Ultimate Edition and Xiaomi 12S ultra have a very good look and feel, especially the color display and brightness, which are far beyond the standards of ordinary flagships. Paying more attention to the use experience, automatic brightness adjustment, 1920Hz high-refresh PWM eye protection, and TUV low blue light certification are all designed to allow users to get a comfortable look and feel when turning on the screen at any time in different usage scenarios. The brightness at night is moderate and not dazzling. , the screen will not go black under strong outdoor light, and the display will be clear. Although the display effect of the OLED screen is better, especially the wider color gamut, higher brightness, sharper definition and more detailed picture display, showing a more vivid texture, this is just the basis.

A good screen also has an automatic adjustment function, not only the adaptive refresh rate, but also automatic brightness and automatic frequency adjustment. It is not only smoother, but also more energy-saving. Smart screens will save power by themselves. The screen of Honor Magic3 Ultimate Edition is a 6.78-inch AMOLED screen with a hole punch in the upper left corner, a resolution of 2772*1334, a pixel density of of 456PPI , and supports 1.07 billion color display, HDR10+, precise color accuracy, and 1290Hz high-screen PWM. The screen panel uses nano-ceramic glass, which combines optical-grade glass body casting technology and high-temperature molding technology, making it more drop-resistant than ordinary OLED screens. The visual effect of Honor is great, and the curvature is super high, which is suitable for friends who like curved screens.

Xiaomi has a 6.73-inch AMOLED screen with a hole punched in the middle. The curvature is not as high as that of Honor. It has a 2K-level resolution and a pixel density of 525PPI. The edges of the fonts are sharper and the color layering is not so obvious. It is very ornamental. It is very comfortable to browse apps, watch videos and dramas, and play games.

performance: How big is the gap between Snapdragon 888Plus and Snapdragon 8+?

In terms of performance, Xiaomi 12S ultra is still better. If you play a lot of games, especially " Genshin Impact " players, the power consumption of Snapdragon 8+ is lower, and the power consumption during use is even lower. The heat is controlled, the energy efficiency is higher, and the running score is 108W. In comparison, the AnTuTu running score of the Honor Magic3 Ultimate Edition is about 85W. This is the difference between the upgraded V9 architecture and the 4nm process. From the perspective of power consumption, Snapdragon 8+ is more worth buying.

The Honor Magic3 Ultimate Edition has a good daily use experience. It supports LPDDR5 and UFS3.1, as well as Honor’s performance adjustment and superconducting hexagonal crystal cooling system, which not only relies on large-area stacked heat dissipation materials, but also temperature control components. , real-time detection of core area temperature, daily use is very smooth, and game performance is also good. "Honor of Kings" and "Peace Elite" can run at close to full frame in extreme picture quality. Although Honor Magic3 Ultimate Edition is last year's flagship, it is polished Very detailed and plenty of material.

The Xiaomi Mi 12sultra has a small victory due to its lower power consumption. Not only is the game more stable, the body temperature is lower, but the power consumption in the game is also smaller. In the high image quality of "Genshin Impact", Xiaomi Mi 12 Sultra can run at full 59 frames, and Honor Magic 3 Ultimate Edition can maintain about 55 frames, which is immediately clear.

images of gods fighting!

Honor Magic3 Ultimate Edition and Xiaomi 12S ultra can be regarded as the imaging flagships of the year. Last year’s Honor Magic3 Ultimate Edition beat iPhone 13ProMax. This year’s Xiaomi 12S ultra directly uses a 1-inch sensor. The domestic flagship configurations are only what you can’t imagine. , there is nothing that mobile phone manufacturers cannot do.

In terms of images, it is difficult to distinguish the difference between the two, but the main camera is still more advantageous for Xiaomi. After all, the one-inch outsole can capture more light, and the output picture details are richer and the colors are more vivid. , stronger photosensitivity. In terms of software optimization, Xiaomi 12S ultra also has a Leica imaging system. The Coca-Cola logo and parameter bar are very interesting. It feels high-end immediately. Without the parameter bar, the quality will be reduced by at least half.

However, the configuration of Honor Magic3 Ultimate Edition is not bad either. It has 4 cameras on the rear and dual cameras on the front. Each lens can play its maximum role. The rear camera is 50MP (1/1.28, F1.9, 23mm) + 64MP. (11mm, F2.4, 126° wide-angle range) + 64MP (F/1.8, black and white lens) + 64MP (90mm, F/3.5, 100x digital zoom) combination, multi-main camera fusion computational photography, whether it is ultra-wide-angle or Macro and even telephoto lenses can achieve the same clear quality as the main camera.

If Xiaomi 12S ultra is outstanding, then Honor Magic3 Ultimate Edition is perfect. Judging from the sample, Xiaomi Mi 12S ultra has more vivid colors and a full sense of atmosphere. Honor Magic3 Ultimate Edition pursues authenticity and has many details. High definition, both are good flagships, and the user experience is very good.

In general, in terms of appearance, the Honor Magic3 Ultimate Edition is better looking. In terms of core performance, the Xiaomi Mi 12S ultra is stronger. In terms of imaging, they are about the same. Leica blessing is better. In terms of battery life, the Honor Magic3 The battery of the Ultra Edition is not as big as that of Xiaomi Mi 12S ultra, with 4600mAh+66W and 5000mAh+120W.
