Pros and Cons

Huawei Mate 70 Pro+

Strengths

The phone has gotten bigger and thicker, but feels worse in the hand due to its rounded frames, which some people may like.
The camera performance is significantly upgraded with an ultra-wide camera, a T-camera with a larger aperture, and an ultra-chroma camera for more accurate white balance.
The battery capacity has grown to 5,500mAh, and power of wire and wireless charging has been upgraded.
The phone's design, particularly the exterior, is top-notch in my mind, even if it may not be harmonious with others.

Weaknesses

The phone feels worse in the hand due to its bigger size and thickness.
The battery capacity upgrade is not necessarily a significant advantage, as it's still one of the few phones with this feature.
The fingerprint unlock has been moved from under the display to the power button, which may be considered a downgrade (although it's not a big deal for most users).
The processor upgrade is small considering the semiconductor situation in China right now.

Honor Magic V3

Strengths

Incredibly thin: The Magic V3 is an astonishing 4.3mm thick when unfolded, making it one of the thinnest foldable phones on the market.
Large internal display: The 7.92-inch OLED internal display is a delight to use, with barely visible crease and excellent color accuracy.
Fast performance: Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 platform, this phone delivers smooth performance and quick app loading times.
Good battery life: With a 5150mAh battery, you get all-day usage and even faster charging capabilities.
Premium unboxing experience: The Magic V3 comes with a high-quality power brick, 66W wired charger, wireless charging support, and a sleek faux leather case.
AI features galore: This phone is loaded with AI-driven features like Magic Eraser, Studio Hardcore Portrait Modes, Face-to-Face Translation, and more.
Super light weight: The phone is incredibly light, making it easy to carry around.

Weaknesses

Aspect ratio quirks: When using the internal display for certain apps like social media or gameplay, you may notice a funky aspect ratio.
Camera limitations: While the camera system is decent, it's not exceptional, and low-light performance could be improved.
Extra weight with leather finish: If you opt for the faux leather finish on the back, you'll add 4g of extra weight to the phone.
