The lifespan decider
When specs are close, support length decides it — this is what each phone costs per month of safe use.
Category by category
Both displays are effectively the same class.
The P3 Ultra 5G's MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Ultra (4nm) is simply the faster chip.
The P3 Ultra 5G has the stronger camera system (2 real rear lenses vs 1).
Battery capacities are close enough not to decide this.
The P3 Ultra 5G is supported until Mar 2029 — 10 months longer than the C71.
Pound for pound, these two are equally good deals.
