OPPO Find X9 Pro or HONOR Magic 8 Pro ?
Hey guys,
I’ve been going back and forth between these two for days and I genuinely can’t decide.
The OPPO is really tempting because everyone seems to praise ColorOS, and I also prefer its overall design. However, it’s more expensive, and I’ve seen quite a few people mention that the speakers are surprisingly disappointing for a flagship at this price. Is that actually true in real-world use?
The HONOR, on the other hand, seems like the more complete package overall. It has aptX Lossless (which is important to me), excellent hardware, and generally fewer compromises. My only real hesitation is the slightly curved display. I usually prefer flat screens, although I’d probably use a case anyway. On top of that, I’ve had the opportunity to try it at a phone shop, and I wasn’t impressed at first visually. Next to it were Xiaomi 17T’s series units that were almost looking even more premium and sharper in terms of design…
For those who have used either (or both), which one would you buy today? Is ColorOS enough of an advantage to justify choosing the OPPO, or is the Magic 8 Pro simply the better overall phone despite MagicOS?
