Honor is back in the global market and, after releasing a few mid-rangers, it came up with an amazing top-tier flagship. The Honor Magic4 Ultimate has nothing to envy of the most expensive phones in the whole market and it is very promising, not only in terms of specifications on the paper but even according to experts such as DxOMark. This is exactly the reason why we decided that the Honor Magic4 Ultimate deserves comparison with the best Android phones out there. And that is why we chose the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra and the OPPO Find X5 Pro for this specs comparison.

Design

If you are looking for the most impressive design, then you should go for the OPPO Find X5 Pro. Its impressive curves and its ceramic body allowed OPPO to win an iF Design Award for the product design, and we can assume the Find X5 Pro is the most beautiful Android device of 2022. The Honor Magic4 Ultimate has a ceramic body as well, but the OPPO flagship is more elegant thanks to its curves and the absence of that huge camera module found on the Honor flagship. The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is beautiful as well with its Galaxy Note-like design, but it is made of glass and aluminum just like most of the flagships out there.

 

Display

It is very hard to understand which of these phones has the best display because their specifications on the paper are exactly at the same level. According to the most important benchmarks, the OPPO Find X5 Pro has a slightly better panel in terms of color accuracy and more. But you should not underestimate the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, especially because it supports the S Pen for handwriting and drawing.

 

Specs & Software

Given that all of these phones come with flagship-class hardware departments and top-notch performance, you should not focus too much on their hardware departments. They are all powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform with the exception of certain regional variants of the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra sporting an inferior Exynos 2200 chipset. The RAM goes up to 12 GB in each case, but the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is the only one to reach 1 TB of internal storage. All of these phones run Android 12 out of the box, with a highly customized user interface on top.

 

Camera

The most advanced camera phone here is the Honor Magic4 Ultra. It sports a 50 MP main camera with laser autofocus, an outstanding 64 MP periscope camera with 3.5x optical zoom, a 64 MP ultrawide sensor, an additional 50 MP wide sensor, and a TOF 3D camera for depth calculation. In 2022, until now, there is not any manufacturer which released a phone with a better camera setup than Honor Magic4 Ultimate. But you should not underestimate the OPPO Find X5 Pro due to its MariSilicon X proprietary ISP providing incredibly high quality in night shots.

 

Battery

The weakest point of the Honor Magic4 Ultimate is the battery because it is way smaller than the one found on the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra and the OPPO Find X5 Pro. On the other hand, it has a faster 100W charging technology.

 

Price

The Honor Magic4 Ultimate begins at €1150/$1247 in China and it is still not available in Europe, you need €1300/$1410 for the Find X5 Pro, and more than €1000/$1000 for the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. Which one would you pick?
