Honor Magic 7 Pro has finally arrived, bringing flagship-grade specifications. One of its key highlights is the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, which promises huge performance and efficiency upgrades.
The Magic 7 Pro starts at $800 (roughly Rs. 67,500) and goes up to $930 (roughly Rs. 78,000) for the top-end model, putting it in close competition with some popular Android phones such as the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, which is currently available for $1200 (roughly Rs 100,000). Despite a lower price tag, the Honor Magic 7 Pro beats the more premium Galaxy S24 Ultra in many ways.
Here are four reasons to pick Honor Magic 7 Pro over Galaxy S24 Ultra:
1. Unmatched performance and efficiency
Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite fuels the Honor Magic 7 Pro. It’s the most powerful chip for Android devices and brings huge improvements over the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset fitted inside the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
The Snapdragon 8 Elite has a 45% faster CPU and a 40% faster GPU than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. It’s also 44% more power-efficient. These are massive upgrades that no other Snapdragon chip has received so far.
So, the bottom line is that the Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered Honor Magic 7 Pro is faster and more efficient than the Galaxy S24 Ultra powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
2. More battery and lesser charging time
The Galaxy S24 Ultra packs a 5,000mAh battery, which should last for at least a day. However, the Honor Magic 7 Pro will offer more screen-on time, thanks to a larger 5,850mAh battery.
Another advantage of having the Honor Magic 7 Pro is a significantly shorter charging time. It supports 100W of wired charging and 80W of wireless charging. In contrast, the Galaxy S24 Ultra only supports 45W of wired charging and 15W of wireless charging. So, if the charging duration matters a lot to you, the Honor device might be a solid buy.
3. More secure face authentication
The Honor Magic 7 Pro uses 3D face unlock, which allows you to unlock the device even in a low-light environment. The Galaxy S24 Ultra, on the other hand, uses a less secure 2D face unlock mechanism, which might not work in all lighting conditions.
For those uninitiated, 3D face authentication utilizes various sensors and algorithms to create a detailed three-dimensional map of a user’s face, making it much harder to spoof compared to traditional 2D facial recognition methods.
4. Better stereo speakers
While both the Honor Magic 7 Pro and Galaxy S24 Ultra have dual stereo speakers, the Honor smartphone’s speakers are louder and clearer at a higher volume.
Another critical thing to note here is the speakers’ location. On the Galaxy S24 Ultra, you get a bottom-firing speaker and an earpiece speaker located at the top of the device. Honor Magic 7 Pro’s speakers have a different placement, though. It has one at the bottom and one at the top in an alternate fashion.
So, these were four strong reasons to pick the Honor Magic 7 Pro over the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. Which one of these two would you choose for your next smartphone upgrade? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
