honor 300 Series: Ultra Takes the Crown, But a Challenger Approaches
Table of Contents
The Honor 300 series has generated notable buzz, but one model has clearly emerged as the favorite among consumers: the Honor 300 ultra. Recent polls reveal a ample preference for the Ultra over its siblings, the honor 300 Pro and the standard Honor 300. While the Pro boasts notable specs,the Ultra’s subtle advantages have resonated strongly with consumers.
The key differentiators, according to user feedback, are the Ultra’s superior telephoto camera (a 50MP 3.8x lens compared to the Pro’s 50MP 3x lens) and its advanced ultrasonic fingerprint reader, a step up from the Pro’s optical sensor. These seemingly minor upgrades have proven to be significant factors in swaying consumer opinion.
Interestingly, the Honor 300 Pro and ultra share some design elements that have drawn criticism. Many users expressed dislike for the curved displays, and even those who appreciate curved screens found the pill-shaped punch hole less appealing.Despite these shared drawbacks, the Ultra’s superior features have made it the preferred choice.
The standard Honor 300, conversely, lags behind considerably. A significant portion of respondents felt they could find better mid-range options for a similar price. Its Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 processor pales in comparison to the flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 found in the Pro and Ultra models. Moreover, the lack of a telephoto camera further diminishes its appeal, even with its flat display, a feature some users prefer.
The landscape is about to change, though. Honor is set to unveil a new GT phone on December 16th. While details are scarce, it’s expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, similar to the Pro and Ultra. Though, its camera capabilities are anticipated to be less impressive. This upcoming release could considerably impact the Honor 300’s market position, perhaps overshadowing the standard model entirely, given the expected price point.
The Honor 300 series demonstrates the fine line between consumer preference and technological specifications. While the Pro model offers strong performance, the Ultra’s subtle enhancements, coupled with design preferences, have secured its position as the clear winner – at least for now. The upcoming GT phone launch will be a crucial test of this dynamic.

The Honor 300 series has generated notable buzz, but one model has clearly emerged as the favorite among consumers: the Honor 300 Ultra.

Unpacking the Ultra’s Appeal
Senior Editor, world-today-news.com: Joining us today is Dr. Sarah Chen, a leading expert on consumer electronics trends. Dr. Chen, thanks for taking the time.Could you help us understand why the Honor 300 Ultra seems to be winning over consumers?
Dr.Sarah Chen: It’s a pleasure to be here. While the Honor 300 Pro is remarkable, the Ultra seems to have hit the sweet spot with a combination of features. Based on user feedback, the upgraded telephoto camera – that 50MP 3.8x lens – has been a major draw. People appreciate the adaptability it offers for zoom photography.
And don’t underestimate the impact of the advanced ultrasonic fingerprint reader. That’s a noticeably faster and more secure unlocking experience compared to the optical sensor on the Pro.
Design: A Mixed Bag for Both models
Senior Editor: Interesting.It sounds like those specifics are making a difference. Though, both the Pro and Ultra share a design element that seems to be polarizing consumers—the curved displays and the pill-shaped punch hole. What are your thoughts on that?
Dr. Chen: Yes,you’re right. You’ll find mixed reactions to those design choices. Some users love the look and feel of curved displays, finding them more immersive. Others prefer a flat screen for better ergonomics and reduced accidental touches.As for the punch hole, pill-shaped cutouts are becoming increasingly common, but they’re not universally loved. Ultimately, design is subjective, and Honor’s decision might alienate some while appealing to others.
The Standard 300: Facing an Uphill Battle
Senior Editor: What about the standard Honor 300? It doesn’t seem to be generating as much excitement.
Dr. Chen: Unfortunately, the standard model is having a harder time competing. It’s facing stiff competition from other mid-range phones with stronger processors and perhaps more desirable features at a similar price point. The lack of a telephoto camera is a drawback, and even the preference for a flat display by some users might not be enough to sway them.
A New Challenger on the Horizon
Senior Editor: Looking ahead, Honor is expected to launch a new GT phone in the coming weeks. how do you think that will impact the 300 series?
Dr. Chen: That’s a wildcard. Rumors suggest the new GT phone will be a powerful device with a flagship processor, potentially even more powerful than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 found in the Pro and Ultra. If priced aggressively, it could definitely attract buyers who are looking for the latest and greatest hardware. Though, it might focus more on performance than camera capabilities. It will be fascinating to see how the market responds.
