Honor’s new flagship series Magic 8 took its place on the agenda with its benchmark results before it was introduced. The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gene 5 chip, which comes out of Qualcomm’s 3 nanometer production process, first reached the user with the Xiaomi 17 series. However, Honor Magic managed to stand out with tests that showed that he had received higher efficiency than the same processor. This has created a new performance competition between the two brands.
According to the data shared via Weibo, Magic 8 achieved 4,166,339 points in Antutu V11 test. On the other hand, the Xiaomi 17 Pro is left behind with 3,749,435 points. Looking at the details of the test, it is seen that the difference is not only in total score. Honor’s device offered higher values in all basic areas such as CPU, GPU, memory and user experience. In addition to all these, the details of the scores are examined by about 11 percent.
Honor Magic 8 has superior to Xiaomi 17 Pro in all performance categories
In the CPU test, Magic 8 made a difference to Xiaomi’s 1,053.385 points with 1,213.845 points. On the graphic side, 1,468,351 points and 1,332.311 points passed. Honor, which received 570,553 points in memory performance and 913,590 points in the user experience, was positioned ahead in every field. However, it should not be forgotten that the tests are not limited to the numbers on paper. Because battery consumption and temperature values also give significant clues to interpret performance.
Looking at the battery performance, Magic 8 consumed 7 percent battery during the test. In contrast, Xiaomi 17 Pro suffered only 2 percent. In spite of everything, this difference may be due to the use of different measurement methods at the high charging levels of Xiaomi. This may not mean that the device is more efficient. In addition, the differences in real use may be variable.
The temperature values presented an interesting table. Magic 8 heated during the test 13 degrees, and the Xiaomi 17 Pro reached 20 degrees. This difference showed that Honor was at a more successful point under heat control. Temperature management on high -performance phones is critical for user experience. Because overheating can directly affect the long -term use of the device.
Beyond the performance race, both devices stand out with different pluses. The Xiaomi 17 Pro seems ambitious on the photo side with the Leica -backed camera system. In addition, the 2.7 -inch screen behind the device is also remarkable. On the other hand, Honor aims to make a difference with the 200 Megapixel Telephoto camera in Magic 8 Pro. The company sharing sample photos taken with this camera increased the user interest.
It became clear that the Magic 8 series will be introduced in October. This benchmark results before the presentation, the flagship competition even more harden. Especially how the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 is optimized by different brands has become a remarkable issue. In this context, Honor’s approach to software and hardware harmony stands out.
Although Xiaomi is the first brand that uses the processor, it seems to be left in performance optimization. However, low battery consumption of the device can provide advantage for specific user groups. This table points out that preferences will be shaped according to the priorities of use, not only high scores. In addition to all these, camera features and design preferences are among the factors that will determine the choices.
These results seem to determine the direction of competition in the Android market in the last quarter of the year. Although both devices have strong features, performance, camera experience and battery life will be decisive in user preferences. In addition, software updates and long -term support have become an important criterion. Ultimately, Honor and Xiaomi’s competition can lead to a new balance in the Android world.
