Realme GT Neo 3 150W
- Unmatched 150W wired charging speed
- Excellent performance from the Dimensity 8100 chipset
- Potentially better thermal management due to 5nm process
- Camera specifications are unknown, potentially weaker than the competition
- Lacks wireless charging capabilities
Honor Magic4 Pro
- Superior camera system with OIS and advanced image processing
- Convenient 100W wireless and reverse charging
- High peak display brightness for outdoor visibility
- Slower wired charging compared to the Realme GT Neo 3
- Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 may throttle under sustained load
Display Comparison
Both devices feature displays with an 'Infinite' (nominal) contrast ratio, suggesting excellent black levels. However, the Honor Magic4 Pro boasts a measured peak brightness of 957 nits, significantly exceeding what's available on the Realme GT Neo 3 (no data provided). This translates to superior visibility in direct sunlight. While both likely employ high refresh rate panels, the Honor's higher brightness gives it a clear advantage for outdoor use. The lack of specific display technology details (LTPO, AMOLED type) for the Realme GT Neo 3 leaves questions about its power efficiency compared to the Honor.
Camera Comparison
The Honor Magic4 Pro clearly prioritizes camera capabilities, indicated by its 'Photo / Video' designation. While specific sensor details are absent, the inclusion of OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) is implied for flagship-level video recording. The Realme GT Neo 3's camera specifications are not provided, making a direct comparison difficult. The Honor's likely larger sensor and more advanced image processing algorithms will result in superior image quality, particularly in low-light conditions. The absence of details on the Realme's camera system suggests it may not be a primary selling point.
Performance
The Realme GT Neo 3 150W utilizes the Mediatek Dimensity 8100 (5nm), while the Honor Magic4 Pro is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 (4nm). While both are high-end chipsets, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1's Cortex-X2 prime core (3.00 GHz) offers a theoretical single-core performance advantage over the Dimensity 8100's Cortex-A78 cores (2.85 GHz). However, the Dimensity 8100's 5nm process node generally leads to better thermal efficiency, potentially mitigating throttling during sustained workloads. The Honor's LPDDR5 RAM is standard for flagships, but the Realme's RAM specification is missing, potentially impacting multitasking performance. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1's Adreno 730 GPU is generally considered more powerful than the Dimensity 8100's Mali-G610 MC4, benefiting graphically intensive games.
Battery Life
The Realme GT Neo 3 150W boasts a remarkable 150W wired charging capability, capable of reaching 50% charge in just 5 minutes. This is significantly faster than the Honor Magic4 Pro's 100W wired charging (100% in 30 minutes). However, the Honor compensates with 100W wireless charging (50% in 15 minutes) and reverse wireless/wired charging, offering greater versatility. The Realme GT Neo 3 has an endurance rating of 102 hours, while the Honor Magic4 Pro has 82 hours. This suggests the Realme's battery optimization and potentially larger battery capacity (not specified) contribute to longer runtime despite the faster charging.
Buying Guide
Buy the Realme GT Neo 3 150W if you need the absolute fastest charging available, prioritize gaming performance, and want a flagship-level experience without the flagship price tag. Buy the Honor Magic4 Pro if you prefer a more refined camera system, value wireless charging and reverse wireless capabilities, and are willing to pay a premium for a more polished overall experience.
