HONOR Magic V3 5G vs OPPO Find X9 Ultra
Our Verdict: The OPPO Find X9 Ultra has the better camera on paper, 200MP versus 50MP, plus a 50MP selfie camera against 20MP, and there's more battery in the X9 Ultra, 7050mAh to 5150mAh, which should mean longer between charges in day-to-day use. The HONOR Magic V3 5G has the bigger screen at 7.9" against 6.8", while the X9 Ultra has the sharper one at 510 PPI. The V3 5G is the one to have if you want what it adds, but the X9 Ultra is the smarter buy if you'd rather keep the money.
The X9 Ultra is the cheaper one to own: around £1301 over a typical contract, £693 less than the V3 5G.
