Honor recently unveiled its new number series phones, the Honor 300 Pro and Honor 300 Ultra. While both phones target the high-end market, a closer look at them reveals they are surprisingly similar. So this begs the question whether the Ultra model justifies its higher price.
Here’s why the Honor 300 Ultra might not make much sense when the 300 Pro offers nearly identical specifications at a significantly lower cost.
Cameras
Cameras are often the deciding factor for flagship buyers, but the Ultra’s upgrades over the Pro are modest at best. Both phones sport a 50MP main sensor with OIS, a 12MP ultrawide lens, and a 50MP selfie camera.
The Ultra does have an edge in telephoto capabilities, offering a periscope lens with 3.8x optical zoom compared to the Pro’s 3x zoom. However, in everyday scenarios, this difference is unlikely to be significant unless you frequently shoot from a distance.
In terms of video recording, both phones offer 4K recording with gyro-EIS and OIS. The Ultra’s slightly better zoom may appeal to niche users, but for most, the Pro delivers nearly the same photographic experience.
