HONOR Magic 7 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy S24
Our Verdict: The HONOR Magic 7 Pro has a massively higher-resolution main camera, 200MP against the Samsung Galaxy S24's 50MP, plus a 50MP selfie camera against 12MP, and there's more battery in the Magic 7 Pro, 5270mAh to 4000mAh, which usually means longer between charges. The Magic 7 Pro has the stronger screen, bigger at 6.8" against 6.2" and sharper at 453 PPI, and storage goes higher on the Magic 7 Pro, up to 512GB against 256GB.
