Honor 300 Ultra
Advantages
- Display That Pops: First off, that 6.78-inch AMOLED screen is a stunner. With a resolution of 1224 x 2700 pixels and a peak brightness of 4000 nits, you can practically use it as a mirror in direct sunlight. Seriously, it’s bright enough to make your sunglasses jealous.
- Performance Beast: Under the hood, we’ve got the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip paired with up to 16gigs of RAM. Translation? This phone can handle anything you throw at it—from gaming marathons to binge-watching your favorite shows without breaking a sweat.
- Camera Magic: Let’s talk cameras. The triple setup includes two 50 MP sensors (one for wide shots and another for periscope zoom) plus a 12 MP ultrawide. Whether you’re snapping pics at a party or trying to capture that perfect sunset, this phone has you covered. Plus, it shoots video in glorious 4K!
- Charge It Up Fast: If you’re always on the go, you’ll love the charging speeds—100-watt wired and 80-watt wireless. You can get about 59% charge in just 15 minutes! Forget waiting around; this phone is ready to roll when you are.
- Built Tough: With an IP65 rating for dust and water resistance, this phone can handle a little adventure. Rainy day? No problem! Just don’t go swimming with it.
Drawbacks
- No Expandable Storage: Here’s the kicker—there’s no microSD card slot. If you’re someone who hoards photos, videos, and apps like they’re going out of style, you might want to think twice about the storage options (512GB or 1TB).
- Bye-Bye Headphone Jack: If you’re still rocking wired headphones, you’ll need to adapt because there’s no headphone jack here. It’s all about that wireless life now.
- Ultrawide Limitations: The ultrawide camera has a field of view of only 112 degrees. While that’s decent, some competitors are pushing out wider angles (we’re looking at you, Samsung). If you’re all about those expansive landscape shots, keep that in mind.
- Pricey for Some: Coming in at around €550, this phone isn’t exactly cheap. You’ll want to weigh whether those features are worth the price tag compared to other flagship options out there.
