Which should you buy?
The 200 Pro edges ahead on the Mars Score (66.9 vs 62.5), but the 4.4-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.
Pick the 200 Pro if you photograph or shoot video regularly and want the better imaging pipeline of the two. The biggest gaps in its favor are wired charging, antutu, front camera, among others.
The Phone (3a) similarly doesn't carry a headline advantage on the popular specs — look at the full table for category-specific deltas.
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: there is no wrong answer here — match the spec advantages to how you actually use the product. The Mars Score parity tells you both are well-rounded; the differences are about trade-offs, not quality.
