Honor Magic4 Ultimate
- Significantly faster wired and wireless charging
- Consistent Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 across all regions
- Reverse wired charging capability
- Battery capacity not specified
- Display brightness potentially lower than Oppo
Oppo Find X5 Pro
- Brighter display (762 nits)
- Dimensity 9000 variant offers potential efficiency gains (China)
- Solid battery endurance (101h)
- Slower charging speeds compared to Honor
- Chipset variability (Snapdragon vs Dimensity)
Display Comparison
The Oppo Find X5 Pro boasts a measured peak brightness of 762 nits, offering excellent visibility in direct sunlight. While the Honor Magic4 Ultimate’s peak brightness isn’t specified, the Find X5 Pro’s figure provides a clear advantage in outdoor scenarios. Both devices likely employ LTPO technology for adaptive refresh rates, conserving battery life. The Find X5 Pro’s ‘Infinite’ contrast ratio (nominal) suggests a high-quality OLED panel, but without detailed color accuracy data, it’s difficult to definitively declare a winner beyond peak brightness.
Camera Comparison
Both devices are described as having capable Photo/Video cameras, but specific sensor details are lacking. The absence of information regarding sensor size, aperture, or OIS makes a direct comparison difficult. We can assume both utilize multi-camera systems, but without specifics, it’s impossible to assess image quality differences. The lack of detail regarding the 2MP macro cameras on either device suggests they are likely present for marketing purposes rather than significant photographic utility.
Performance
Both phones utilize the Qualcomm SM8450 Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 (4nm) in global markets, meaning CPU performance – with its 1x3.00 GHz Cortex-X2, 3x2.50 GHz Cortex-A710, and 4x1.80 GHz Cortex-A510 cores – will be largely identical. However, the Oppo Find X5 Pro offers a China-specific variant with the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 (4nm), featuring slightly higher clock speeds (1x3.05 GHz Cortex-X2, 3x2.85 GHz Cortex-A710). While the Dimensity 9000 often demonstrates strong multi-core performance, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is known for its GPU prowess. Thermal management will be crucial; both chips are prone to throttling under sustained load, but the Honor’s potentially more aggressive cooling solution (not specified in the data) could provide an edge.
Battery Life
The Oppo Find X5 Pro has an endurance rating of 101 hours, indicating solid battery life. The Honor Magic4 Ultimate’s battery capacity is not specified, but its charging capabilities are a standout feature. The 100W wired charging promises a full charge in just 30 minutes, significantly faster than the Oppo’s 80W charging (50% in 12 minutes). Furthermore, the Honor supports 50W wireless charging, compared to the Oppo’s 50W, and offers 5W reverse wired charging, while the Oppo only offers 10W reverse wireless. This charging speed advantage is a major differentiator for the Honor.
Buying Guide
Buy the Honor Magic4 Ultimate if you need blazing-fast charging, consistently high performance across all regions, and are willing to potentially sacrifice some display brightness. Buy the Oppo Find X5 Pro if you prioritize a slightly brighter display, a potentially more efficient chipset (Dimensity 9000 in China), and a well-rounded camera experience with a focus on video capabilities.
