Weekly poll results: the Honor 300 Ultra emerges as the clear favorite of the three

Last week’s poll shows that things are not equal in the Honor 300 series – we didn’t expect them to be, but one phone beats the other two by a very wide margin.

Even if the Pro shows good performance in reviews, we have a feeling that most people will still lean towards the Ultra. How did that happen? As some comments point out, there are only a...
