Display Comparison
The Oppo Find X5 Pro boasts a measured peak brightness of 762 nits, suggesting a more visible display in direct sunlight compared to the Honor Magic3 Pro (brightness data unavailable). Both displays feature an infinite contrast ratio, typical of OLED panels. While both likely employ LTPO technology for adaptive refresh rates (based on market segment), the Find X5 Pro’s higher peak brightness provides a tangible advantage for outdoor visibility. The lack of detailed display specs for the Magic3 Pro makes a precise comparison difficult, but the Find X5 Pro appears to have a brighter panel.
Camera Comparison
Both phones are marketed as having strong camera systems, but detailed sensor information is limited. Both focus on Photo/Video capabilities. The Oppo Find X5 Pro likely benefits from the newer image signal processor (ISP) within the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1/Dimensity 9000, enabling improved noise reduction and dynamic range. Without specific sensor size or aperture data for either device, it’s difficult to definitively declare a winner. However, the Find X5 Pro’s processing power likely provides an edge in computational photography, potentially leading to more detailed and vibrant images. The absence of details on the Magic3 Pro’s camera system hinders a thorough comparison.
Performance
The core difference lies in the chipsets. The Oppo Find X5 Pro utilizes the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 (4nm) globally, or the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 (4nm) in China, while the Honor Magic3 Pro features the Snapdragon 888+ (5nm). The 4nm process of the Gen 1/Dimensity 9000 offers improved thermal efficiency and performance per watt compared to the 5nm 888+. The Gen 1’s Cortex-X2 core, clocked at 3.00 GHz, surpasses the 888+'s Cortex-X1 at 2.99 GHz. The Find X5 Pro’s CPU architecture (A710 vs A78) also represents a generational improvement. This translates to faster app loading, smoother multitasking, and better sustained performance during intensive gaming sessions. The Find X5 Pro’s chipset choice is a clear win for performance-focused users.
Battery Life
Both devices achieve an endurance rating of 101 hours, suggesting similar overall battery life despite differing charging capabilities. However, the Oppo Find X5 Pro’s charging speeds are significantly faster: 80W wired (0-50% in 12 minutes) and 50W wireless (100% in 47 minutes) compared to the Honor Magic3 Pro’s 66W wired and 66W wireless. This means the Find X5 Pro can be topped up much quicker, mitigating any potential battery life differences. The inclusion of 10W reverse wireless charging on the Find X5 Pro, versus 5W on the Magic3 Pro, also adds convenience for charging accessories.
Buying Guide
Buy the Honor Magic3 Pro if you prioritize a mature software experience and are seeking a flagship at a potentially lower price point, especially if you value the inclusion of both 66W wired *and* wireless charging. Buy the Oppo Find X5 Pro if you demand the latest processing power for demanding tasks like gaming and video editing, and if you benefit from the significantly faster charging speeds and potentially superior camera processing.
