Pros and Cons
Honor Magic 3
Strengths
The camera sounds really damn good when playing back video footage through the phone speakers.
The camera has three microphones, including one on the camera module, which provides excellent audio recording during video footage.
The ultra-wide-angle footage is impressive, and the camera can capture beautiful scenes, such as sunsets.
The phone has a 120Hz refresh rate, which provides smooth visuals when watching videos or playing games.
The camera can automatically adjust the exposure and contrast in real-time, making it easier to capture good photos.
The phone's stereo speaker produces great sound quality, making it perfect for music and video playback.
The Honor Magic 3 has a TOF sensor that provides intelligent software features, such as automatic field of view adjustment when taking selfies.
The phone's battery life is decent, with 25% remaining after two hours of heavy use.
Weaknesses
The phone's battery life drops significantly when using the 120Hz refresh rate or playing games.
The camera can struggle to capture details in bright lighting conditions, such as blown-out skies.
The phone's speakers are not ideal for music production or critical audio listening.
The TOF sensor can be distracting when it automatically adjusts the field of view during selfies.
The Honor Magic 3 has a relatively large notch that takes up screen real estate.
The camera app can be slow to launch and process images, especially in low-light conditions.
The phone's performance can be affected by heavy gaming or demanding tasks, causing it to heat up.
The battery life could be improved with more efficient power management.
realme 14 Pro
Strengths
The color changing design is quite interesting, even if it's a gimmick over time. It feels much better than last year's Real Mi 13 Pro Plus or Xiaomi's Redmi Note 14 Pro Plus for that matter.
It has a solid premium and robust design, military standard A10 Edge compliant, shock resistant, and has all kinds of IP ratings like IP66, IP68, and ip69, which is a first in Realme's mid-range phone.
The display on this thing is nice too, with good color reproduction, touch response, and everything else. It has high PWM dimming, 120Hz refresh rate, works well, and the higher 1.5k resolution makes everything look sharp and RIS.
It also has a huge 6,000 mAh battery that easily gets over eight hours of screen on time with this phone, so 1.5 days of battery life plus it charges pretty fast like within 55 minutes with its 8wat charger.
The camera performance is decent, with good color reproduction and sharpness in images. The primary lens does a fantastic job during nighttime too, with nice details and exposure management.
Weaknesses
It's not the most balanced mid-range phone mainly because of its average performance and a lack of a good Ultra wide lens.
The ultra-wide camera has an average resolution (8 megapixel) that results in average ultra-wide angle images during daytime as well as night, and you cannot shoot 4K videos with it.
You have to settle for 1080p video recording when switching from the primary camera to the ultra-wide camera.
The Snapdragon 7s gen 3 chipset doesn't support 4K 60 FPS recording, so the max you can shoot from the main and front camera is 4K 30 FPS with quality issues like movement wble.
It's not perfect for every aspect, it has some flaws like average performance, ultra-wide lens issues and lack of better chipset which could have made it a king among mid-range phones.
