In the past year, Glory, as a once important online mobile phone brand, has experienced a round of huge changes. The entire organizational structure is completely independent, and it starts again with the past glory.
With the restructuring of the product R&D and sales system as well as the supply of parts in place, Glory began to work on new products, marked by the Glory 50 series in June this year, and the recently released Magic3 series marked the return of Glory's high-end flagship mobile phones. We also briefly experienced the Glory Magic3 Pro model in the Magic3 series. This evaluation is to see how the new flagship of Glory works.
Appearance&feel
The front of Glory Magic3 Pro is designed with double camera digging holes+waterfall screen (officially called super curved screen). The nominal angle of the curved surfaces on both sides has reached 89 °. The design of super angular curved surfaces enhances the stereoscopic feeling of the whole screen.
The back of the Glory Magic3 Pro is designed with a concentric circular camera module in the center. The lens and sensor openings in the module are symmetrically arranged on the left and right. Compared with the upper left corner arrangement adopted by most models on the market at present, the symmetry aesthetics applied and reflected in the back design of Glory Magic3 Pro is undoubtedly worthy of affirmation.
This one in our hand is a bright black version, without all kinds of fancy light lines. It is a very simple black, and the gloss shown by the light can reflect the texture of a flagship machine (I think it is the most prominent texture in the recent generation of flagship of Glory).
Due to the waterfall screen design, the thickness of the fuselage is 8.99mm and the weight is 213g, which is not related to the lightness and thinness of the fuselage. It is still quite weighty to hold. In addition, we need to get used to the fact that the circular camera module occupies most of the space above the back cover. If we don't want to touch the lens when holding the game on the horizontal screen, we can only put our fingers on the edge of the module, which will be awkward.
screen
Glory Magic3 Pro is equipped with an OLED screen with 6.76 inches, 2772 × 1344 resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. The resolution is close to the 2K level, and the actual display fineness is not a problem.
The maximum manual brightness in the measured full white screen is 459 nits. At this time, the four corners of the screen are 466, 469, 452 and 454 nits respectively, and the maximum local brightness is 549 nits.
Two color modes are available in the system settings, including bright mode (default) and standard mode.
(The color accuracy performance of Magic3 Pro bright mode in sRGB color gamut)
The measured default color temperature of the screen in the bright mode is 7422K, covering 109.3% of the sRGB gamut and 80.8% of the P3 gamut. The average color deviation in the sRGB gamut is 2.3 (maximum 4), and the color accuracy is good; The color temperature of standard mode is 6737K, covering 89.8% sRGB color gamut, the average color deviation is 3.2 (maximum 4.5), and the color display is weak. It is recommended to choose bright mode for daily use.
This screen also supports 1920Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, which is also a technology that has been polished since last year's Glory 30 series. It not only maintains the color uniformity of the screen at low brightness, but also basically avoids the harm caused by low-frequency PWM to stroboscopic sensitive users.
Performance: master of dragon training?
The Glory Magic3 Pro is equipped with Qualcomm's latest flagship processor, Snapdragon 888Plus. In the first half of the year, many Snapdragon 888 models did not perform well in continuous performance output and temperature control due to heating problems, which made many users in the computer industry "talk about 888". However, the performance scheduling of the Snapdragon 888Plus on the Glory Magic3 Pro in actual use was impressive.
The best performance in daily use of mobile phones is the game scene, so we choose two mainstream mobile games, Peace Elite and King Glory, to test, and open the performance mode throughout.
(Glory Magic3 Pro Peace Elite game frame rate)
In the Peace Elite HD HDR image quality+90 frame mode, the Glory Magic3 Pro can run 88.6 frames in a 20 minute game on average, and the entire frame rate curve is also very stable (2.9 fluctuations). There is no significant frame reduction on some models. At the same time, the measured average CPU temperature is 45.3 ℃, which means that the body feeling is just warm and not hot.
(Glory Magic3 Pro "King Glory" game frame rate)
Glory of the King has previously upgraded the 90 frame mode, which poses a certain challenge to the game performance of the mobile phone. The Glory Magic3 Pro runs an average of 88.9 frames (3.5 fluctuations) in the next game of 90 frames and extreme image quality, and the whole curve is also very smooth; The average temperature of the CPU is 41.7 ℃, which is also only warm when transmitted to the rear body.
The heat control of the two games is very good, which is related to the superconducting hexagonal graphene technology and ultra-thin VC liquid cooling three-dimensional cooling system adopted by Glory Magic3 Pro. In addition, the scheduling of AI intelligent cooling management, the combination of software and hardware, has realized the "acclimatization" of the temperature of Snapdragon 888 Plus, the top processor.
An interesting little detail is that the Glory Magic3 Pro does not run at the highest frame rate in the game hall or the waiting interface. After entering the game screen, it will run at the set highest frame rate as if the speed was raised instantaneously, which saves performance resources to a certain extent. This should be related to the intelligent scheduling of GPU Turbo X.

It is easy to see from the area occupied by the camera module that the image is a major selling point of the Glory Magic3 Pro.
Let's first learn about the module specifications of Glory Magic3 Pro: the main camera uses 50 million pixels, 1/1.56 inch IMX766 sensor, and f/1.9 aperture; A 64 megapixel black and white camera should be used for auxiliary imaging; The ultra wide angle is 13 million pixels, which also has the macro function; In addition, there is a 3.5x periscope telephoto camera with 64 million pixels, which supports 10x hybrid zoom and covers a wide range of focus segments. It is also equipped with an 8x8 dToF laser focusing system, which can improve the focusing speed in various complex light environments.
First look at a set of samples:

In the daytime, there will be obvious HDR traces in a few scenes with large light ratio. Sometimes the suppression of highlights in ultra wide angle is not enough (this problem has been improved after upgrading the latest firmware). In addition, the overall appearance of the film is relatively satisfactory.

In terms of night view, Glory Magic3 Pro integrates some night view algorithms in the normal mode. Unless it is in a dark environment, the photos directly shot in the normal mode are not different from the night view mode in appearance. The night view mode supports all focus segments from 0.5 times of ultra wide angle to 10 times of ultra wide angle, which is very helpful for the shooting effect of the sub camera in dim light. Previously, the night view mode of friends only supports the main camera, and at most supports one or two fixed focus segments at the wide angle or long focus end. There are not many such seamless support for all focus segments.
Endurance/charging
Glory Magic3 Pro has a 4600mAh battery Love to play computer games In the 2.5 hour endurance test of five projects, the remaining power is 69%, which is better than the previous flagship models of Snapdragon 888. It can be seen that Glory's optimization in power consumption control is still good. Of course, there is still a little gap compared with several models of Snapdragon 870 and Tianji 1200, which have excellent endurance performance.
In terms of charging, Glory Magic3 Pro supports 66W wired fast charging. The measured charging starts from 2% (automatic shutdown threshold), which can be charged to 29% in 10 minutes, 77% in 30 minutes, and takes 45 minutes to 100%.
During the charging process, the maximum output power is 56W, lasting for about 1 minute. After that, the charging power fluctuates between 33, 34W and 23W for most of the time. Glory Magic3 Pro also supports 50W wireless charging and wireless reverse charging. This charging configuration is relatively comprehensive.
other
Glory Magic3 Pro is equipped with Magic UI 5.0 based on Android 11. Its interface style is still the same as that of the old generation Magic UI/EMUI, but it has redrawn multiple sets of system application icons, looking younger. Magic UI 5.0 with 120Hz high screen brushing does not need to worry about smoothness.
The Glory Magic3 Pro is also equipped with a linear motor and dual speakers. There is a certain sense of spring in vibration feedback, but the problem of whether there is one or not has been solved; The loudspeaker is symmetrically perforated with the upper and lower frames, and its sound generation is more three-dimensional than that of the ordinary earpiece double speakers.
The infrared remote control and NFC are also complete, and IP68 is dustproof and waterproof, as well as the front 3D face recognition (based on the front deep camera) that most models do not have. The success rate of unlocking in both security and dark light is better than that of ordinary 2D recognition; Even the data interface is USB 3.1 Gen1 standard. It can be said that the Glory Magic3 Pro development team has done everything in understanding the peripheral specifications that a flagship computer should have.
In addition to the improvement of these hardware functions, Glory Magic3 series has also made great efforts in terms of security and privacy protection, such as "maintenance mode", which can achieve mobile phone hardware maintenance under data isolation and privacy protection; There is also "photo sharing desensitization", which can be shared to others after removing the photo shooting information and location coordinates.
In addition, the "APP Permission Minimization" is the default authorization setting for recommending applications to users according to the use scenario to prevent applications from abusing mobile phone permissions. In a word, Glory Magic3 series has realized five important features in terms of security and privacy, namely, minimization, transparency and controllability, end-to-end processing, identity anonymity, and security protection, to protect computer security in an all-round and multi-dimensional way.
summary
The Magic series used to be an exploratory model in the Glory brand, so the release schedule was erratic in the past. The last product, Glory Magic2, was launched in 2018. After Glory was completely independent, the Magic series was picked up again as a high-end flagship, and Glory Magic3 series has become a product that has been sharpened for three years.
From the perspective of appearance texture, internal material stacking, performance tuning, photography and many other aspects, Glory Magic3 Pro's overall performance is worthy of the flagship name, especially considering that Glory has just returned to normal product research and development soon, it is worth affirming that such a degree of completion can be achieved. It is also hoped that in the future, the Glory flagship can form its own set of more recognizable styles and create more unique selling points (the ultra narrow frame design on Glory midrange computers and high-frequency PWM on OLED models are positive examples).
