Which should you buy?
The Magic7 Pro is the clear pick on raw spec strength, leading by 9.8 points on the Mars Score. The margin is wide enough that the underdog only makes sense if its individual strengths line up with what you specifically need.
Pick the Magic7 Pro if you photograph or shoot video regularly and want the better imaging pipeline of the two. The biggest gaps in its favor are antutu, wired charging, front camera, among others.
Pick the Phone (3a) if you carry the device everywhere and weight or thickness has been the deciding factor before. Its strongest claims are weight.
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 Magic7 Pro is the safer default. The other model is the right choice only when its specific advantages line up with your priorities.
