Design
The OPPO Find X3 has one of the best designs made in 2021. It has been dubbed “impossible surface” because it is full of curves, even when it comes to the camera module. The OPPO Find X3 offers a glass back and an aluminum frame, as well as water and dust resistance. It also comes with a display sporting curved edges on the front side. The Motorola Edge X30 is definitely less impressive with its plastic frame, it sports a glass back protected by Gorilla Glass 5 but the aesthetics are nothing special if compared to the OPPO Find X3, but it has a water repellent body.
Display
The displays of the Motorola Edge X30 and the OPPO Find X3 are very close to each other, but the OPPO Find X3 should provide a higher image quality. It shows up to one billion colors and it has the LTPO enabling an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz. Further, it supports the BT.2020 and the HDR10+ standards. The Motorola Edge X30 is able to reach a higher refresh rate (up to 144 Hz) but with lower image quality. The OPPO Find X3 is equipped with an in-display fingerprint reader, while the Motorola Edge X30 has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. Both the phones feature stereo speakers, but they lack a 3.5 mm audio jack.
Specs & Software
The Motorola Edge X30 is way better than OPPO Find X3 when it comes to the hardware side. It is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform which is the flagship mobile SoC by Qualcomm for 2022, while the OPPO Find X3 is fueled by a Snapdragon 870 which is not even the best Qualcomm’s chipset for 2021. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. The operating system installed on the Motorola Edge X30 is Android 12, while the OPPO Find X3 is based on Android 11 customized by ColorOS 11.
Camera
If you need the best rear camera department, then choose the OPPO Find X3. It is equipped with a 50 MP main camera with omnidirectional autofocus and OIS, a telephoto sensor with 2x optical zoom, a 50 MP ultrawide lens, and a 3 MP microscope sensor with 60x magnification. On the other hand, the Motorola Edge X30 offers a better front camera with a huge 60 MP resolution.
Battery
The battery of the Motorola Edge X30 is bigger and its processor is more efficient, that is the reason why its battery life is longer. The OPPO Find X3 has a smaller battery but, unlike its rival, it supports wireless charging, and it is even fast thanks to a power of 30W. Motorola Edge X30 relies on 68W wired charging and it lacks wireless charging.
Price
The Motorola Edge X30 is available in the Chinese market with a starting price of €420/$475, while you currently need about €550/$623 to purchase the OPPO Find X3. While the Motorola Edge X30 offers a better SoC and a bigger battery, the OPPO Find X3 has a better design, a superior display, and better cameras. Which one would you pick?
