Honor 400 Pro vs Nubia Redmagic 12 Pro+

EDITORIAL: Honor improved it's midrange offering with a (last year top) flagship chip, a great screen, a 200MP main camera and a 6 year long support for OS updates. Both main and telephoto cameras produce great shots in all conditions. A 2nd (FOV) lense on the front makes up for lack of AF on a 50MP selfie and also delivers iPhone-like face unlock. What a shame that there is no video out from the very slow USB-C port.

EDITORIAL: (this is a pre-test listing based on reasonable expectation of battery and screen performance) Redmagic line is the bleeding edge (no pun intended) of the gaming phone group. With this iteration Nubia brought major hardware improvments: top performance helped by the Redcore R5 chip, bigger battery, liquid cooling and IP69 protection while making the phone smaller. Design remains clean and efficient (completely flat on both front and back), selfie hidden under-screen and phone's back can light up like a Christmas tree. Tried and true formula: "top Android performance + top endurance + top screen experience = top Gaming phone" but imaging and OS support issues remain.
