Design
Motorola Edge+ has an astonishing design. It is my favorite one because it offers one of the highest screen-to-body ratios ever seen on a phone. And it is naturally built with premium materials, including glass for the back and aluminum for the frame. Right after, if we only consider the look, there is Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro with a minimalistic design and a curved screen just like the Motorola Edge+. I do not like the Huawei P40 Pro so much because of its huge camera module, but it is the only phone from this trio to be waterproof with the IP68 certification. While Motorola Edge+ is just splash resistant, Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro does not offer any kind of protection against water.
Display
If we talk about displays, it is a very close fight between Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro and Motorola Edge+. They offer very similar specifications on the paper, including the same aspect ratio, a Full HD+ resolution, the HDR10+ certification, and a 90 Hz refresh rate. Huawei P40 Pro offers a high refresh rate and a Full HD+ resolution as well, but its rivals have slightly more interesting front panels and smaller punch holes. On the other hand, Huawei P40 Pro is the only offering infrared face recognition thanks to the additional sensor placed inside is dual punch hole.
Hardware/Software
There is no way the Kirin 990 chipset found on the Huawei P40 Pro can compete with the Snapdragon 865 found on Motorola Edge+ and Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro when it comes to performance. You should get more or less the same performance with the Motorola Edge+ and Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro. The former offers a stock Android experience, while Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro has the highly-customized MIUI 11 out of the box. On the other hand, Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro offers more internal storage in its high-end variant (512 GB). Only the internal storage of the Huawei P40 Pro (which goes up to 512 GB) can be expanded with an external card.
Camera
Despite the lower resolution of its main sensor, Huawei P40 has the highest camera capabilities. Its camera setup co-engineered with Leica is composed of a 50 MP main sensor, a 40 MP ultrawide lens, a 12 MP periscope sensor with 5x optical zoom, a TOF 3D sensor, and dual OIS. It provides a stunning photo quality in every environment. Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro and Motorola Edge+ are more interesting when it comes to video recording (they can record videos up to 6K and 8K resolution, respectively), with the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro offering a slightly more advanced rear camera department but an inferior front camera. Huawei P40 Pro wins the selfie comparison as well.
Battery
With an amazing 5000 mAh battery, Motorola Edge+ is the king of battery life. It supports both fast charging and wireless charging, but it does not provide blazing charging speeds, unlike Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro and Huawei P40 Pro.
Price
Motorola Edge+ is sold for €1200/$999 globally, Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro sells for €999/$1081, and Huawei P40 Pro begins at €999 as well. On the paper, Huawei P40 Pro looks slightly more impressive since it is waterproof, it has better cameras, 3D facial recognition, and more “exclusive” features. But it lacks Google services in the global market and this is a big issue. Motorola Edge+ and Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro are very close: the former offers a bigger battery and an amazing design, the latter has more internal storage in its higher-end version and potentially better cameras (but this has to be verified). Which one would you choose?
