Pick the Magic V3 if the display is what you stare at all day — refresh rate, brightness, or sharpness is where the difference will be most visible. The biggest gaps in its favor are antutu, ram, screen size, among others.
Pick the Edge 50 Pro if you photograph or shoot video regularly and want the better imaging pipeline of the two. Its strongest claims are front camera, wired charging, weight, among others.
Both ship with comparable main camera, 5g support, optical image stabilization, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
