Which should you buy?
The Magic V3 edges ahead on the Mars Score (71.7 vs 65.2), but the 6.5-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.
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 13 Pro+ if you photograph or shoot video regularly and want the better imaging pipeline of the two. Its strongest claims are front camera, weight, wired charging, among others.
Both ship with comparable main camera, refresh rate, 5g support, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
Bottom line: the Magic V3 is the safer default. The other model is the right choice only when its specific advantages line up with your priorities.
