Honor Magic4
- Potentially lower price point
- Clean software experience
- Solid all-around performance
- Slower charging speeds (66W wired, 5W reverse)
- Less detailed display specifications
- No Dimensity 9000 option
Oppo Find X5 Pro
- Significantly faster charging (80W wired, 50W wireless)
- Potential for Dimensity 9000 chipset (China)
- Higher peak display brightness
- Potentially higher price
- Software experience may be more feature-rich but also more bloated
- Thermal throttling potential with Snapdragon 8 Gen 1
Display Comparison
Both phones utilize high-quality displays, but the Oppo Find X5 Pro boasts a measured peak brightness of 762 nits, suggesting a more visible screen in direct sunlight. While both likely employ LTPO technology for adaptive refresh rates (not explicitly stated, but standard for this class), the Honor Magic4’s display specifications are less detailed. Contrast ratios are nominally infinite on both, typical of OLED panels. The lack of detailed PWM dimming information for the Magic4 leaves questions about potential flicker sensitivity for some users.
Camera Comparison
Both devices are marketed as photography powerhouses, but detailed sensor information is lacking. Both offer photo and video capabilities, but without specifics on sensor size, aperture, or OIS implementation, a direct comparison is difficult. The absence of details regarding image processing algorithms further complicates the assessment. It’s safe to assume both employ multi-camera systems, but the quality will hinge on the specifics of the primary sensor and software optimization. Ignoring the likely present, but functionally limited, 2MP macro cameras on both devices.
Performance
At the heart of both devices (globally) lies the Qualcomm SM8450 Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 (4nm). The CPU configuration is identical: 1x3.00 GHz Cortex-X2, 3x2.50 GHz Cortex-A710, and 4x1.80 GHz Cortex-A510. 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). This Dimensity variant could offer a marginal performance boost in CPU-intensive tasks. Both phones utilize LPDDR5 RAM, but the speed isn't specified, impacting overall system responsiveness. Thermal management will be crucial given the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1’s known tendency to throttle under sustained load.
Battery Life
The Oppo Find X5 Pro’s charging capabilities are a standout feature. Its 80W wired charging can replenish the battery to 50% in just 12 minutes, and a full charge takes a reasonable amount of time. The addition of 50W wireless charging (100% in 47 minutes) provides exceptional convenience. The Honor Magic4, with its 66W wired charging and 5W reverse wired charging, lags behind in speed. Both phones share an endurance rating of 101 hours, suggesting similar real-world battery life despite the differing charging speeds. The faster charging of the Oppo mitigates any potential concerns about battery drain.
Buying Guide
Buy the Honor Magic4 if you prioritize a potentially lower price point and a clean, streamlined software experience. It’s a solid all-rounder for users who don’t demand the absolute fastest charging speeds. Buy the Oppo Find X5 Pro if you value cutting-edge charging technology – both wired and wireless – and potentially benefit from the slightly more powerful Dimensity 9000 chipset available in the Chinese market. It’s the better choice for power users and photography enthusiasts.
