Design
There is no challenge here: Oppo Reno3 Pro is the clear winner. Overall, it has the best design. It is one of the thinnest devices to sport a battery above 4000 mAh, it has an incredibly high screen-to-body ratio thanks to its punch-hole display, and it even comes with an almost totally clean glass back as every element related to the rear cameras is included in the camera module. Oppo Reno3 Pro is even the most compact device of the trio, so if you are really searching for the most beautiful handset, in my opinion, Oppo Reno3 Pro is a lot better. Right after, there is Honor V30 Pro with a dual punch-hole display, at least according to my tastes.
Display
Besides having the most amazing design, Oppo Reno3 Pro even comes with a more convincing display, alongside the Realme X2 Pro. It is a 6.5-inch panel with very high color accuracy and image reproduction. It comes with high DCI P3 coverage, a high HDR10+ and a 90 Hz refresh rate, as well as a very high brightness. Realme X2 Pro is more or less at the same level. Honor V30 Pro has a disappointing display if we consider that it is a flagship: it comes with a classic IPS panel that you can find on a lot of mid-rangers.
Hardware/Software
With the amazing Snapdragon 855+ chipset, up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.0 internal storage, Realme X2 Pro wins the performance comparison. It is faster, better for gaming and every advanced task. But there are two cons if you choose this device. First, it does not have 5G, unlike both its rivals. Second, it is still based on Android 9 Pie, while Honor V30 Pro and Oppo Reno3 boast Android 10 out of the box.
Camera
When it comes to cameras, Oppo Reno3 Pro and Honor V30 Pro take the award with their better sensors and departments. We still did not test it thoroughly, but Oppo Reno3 Pro looks more promising on the paper when it comes to rear cameras, while Honor V30 Pro has a better front camera department. It is one of the few phones to include an ultrawide front camera with a dual configuration. Realme X2 Pro has just a midrange camera department with a Samsung GW1 sensor and no OIS. It is a good camera phone, but far from the top tier ones.
Battery
Due to similar battery capacities, there are no huge differences in the battery life of Honor V30 Pro, Oppo Reno3 Pro, and Realme X2 Pro. What matters more are charging technologies. Realme X2 Pro has the fastest charging technology, but you can only charge it via a cable. Honor V30 Pro offers both wireless charging and reverse wireless charging.
Price
The price of Honor V30 Pro in China is around $550/€495, Oppo Reno3 Pro starts from $580/€520, and Realme X2 Pro starts from $380/€340. Overall, Realme X2 Pro offers the highest performance and value for money, but it lacks 5G and a high-end camera. Honor V30 Pro is the most complete flagship, but Oppo Reno3 Pro offers a way better design and amazing cameras. Which one would you pick?
