These phones utilize the same MTK6750 CPU so matching them up is a must. In many ways you'll learn where they are distinct from one another however given the performance is mediated by the CPU and some features are enabled by the CPU expect to see a lot in common.

Android 8.0 Oreo Versus Android 8.1 Update
Is Android 8.1 so much better than 8.0 it is worth waiting for?

8.0 and 8.1 were released less than four months apart so you may be thinking how much could 8.1 really have advanced over 8.0.



A Couple Of Android 8.1's Updates 

With Android 8.1 Oreo the battery level of Bluetooth devices connected to the phone is shown, in 8.1's predecessors 8.0 Oreo and below only the connected devices status is displayed.

I Used the S99 battery image because it is fire, lame pun well fire me. The S3 has an 8500mah battery but it also has a larger screen with a higher resolution to burn more energy.

Colours

Bluboo S3
Gold Or Black

HOMTOM S99

White, Gray, Blue And Black

I like the blue ribbon the S99 offers as far as colour options go I think it looks the best.  Designs are both anti-slip.


The S3 weighs more it includes a larger battery, screen, and more sensors.


Audio 3.5mm Port VS Type C USB


Type C USB is the future of phones so much so that phones like the Bluboo S3 often replace 3.5mm port with type C USB entirely. 
What if you still want to use 3.5mm devices?
3.5 mm devices can still be used with Type-C 3.5mm Earphone Adapter included in the S3 accessories. HOMTOM have given the S99 the standard 3.5mm audio port.
