A few days ago we learned that the OnePlus 10 Pro will probably be launched in the global market in February.

One of them is the Motorola Edge X30, rumored to soon hit the global market under the Motorola Edge 30 Pro moniker. Both these flagships are equipped with the most powerful Qualcomm chipset and they feature amazing specs sheets: are you wondering which one offers the highest value for money in the Chinese market? We will try to let you find out through this comparison between the OnePlus 10 Pro and Motorola Edge X30.

Design

The design of the OnePlus 10 Pro is very original: you will either love it or hate it. But if it matches your tastes, then this device will be aesthetically amazing. It comes with premium materials including a glass back protected by Gorilla Glass and an aluminum frame, as well as an elegantly curved screen with the Gorilla Glass Victus protection and very narrow bezels. The Motorola Edge X30 has a glass back as well, but its design is less impressive with its flat display and a less original rear cover. However, it has a water-repellent coating which may turn useful for those who often use their phones in the rain. The dimensions, thickness, and weight of these phones are very similar.

 

Display

The best display belongs to the OnePlus 10 Pro. It is an amazing AMOLED panel with LTPO 2.0 technology providing an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz and very low energy consumption. The display shows up to one billion colors with the HDR10+ certification and a Quad HD+ resolution of 1440 x 3216 pixels. It includes the Gorilla Glass Victus protection and an in-display fingerprint reader. The only advantage provided by the Motorola Edge X30 is a higher 144 Hz refresh rate, but for the rest, it is an inferior display. We are talking about an OLED panel with one billion colors, the HDR10+ certification, and a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels which does not include an in-display fingerprint reader (it is side-mounted).

 

Specs & Software

There are no differences between the hardware departments of the OnePlus 10 Pro and the Motorola Edge X30. They are both equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform running at a max frequency of 3 GHz and built at 4 nm. Even the memory configurations are the same: you get either 8 or 12 GB of RAM and 128 or 256 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. The important difference is the software: the former runs Android 12 customized by ColorOS 12 which is a better user interface if compared to the MYUI found on the Motorola Edge X30. Further, it may get longer software support with three years of major Android updates.

 

Camera

The OnePlus 10 Pro is undoubtedly a better camera phone, even though the Motorola Edge X30 features great cameras. The OnePlus 10 Pro comes with a 48 MP main sensor with omnidirectional autofocus and OIS, an 8 MP telephoto camera with 3.3x optical zoom and OIS, and a 50 MP ultrawide camera. With the Motorola flagship, you get an amazing 50 MP main camera and even a 50 MP camera just like its rival, but it lacks a telephoto lens and replaces it with a useless 2 MP macro camera. On the other hand, it has a better selfie camera with a 60 MP resolution.

 

Battery

The battery capacities of these devices are exactly the same (5000 mAh), but the OnePlus 10 Pro will likely last more on a single charge because of its LTPO 2.0 technology and the adaptive refresh rate. Further, it is able to charge quicker thanks to 80W fast charging. Last but not least, unlike its rival, it features 50W wireless charging.

 

Price

You need just €420/$477 to purchase the base variant of the Motorola Edge X30, while the OnePlus 10 Pro starts from €650/$738. The OnePlus flagship wins the comparison because it offers a better display, superior cameras, faster charging, and wireless charging. But Motorola released a phone with a higher value for money thanks to a very affordable price.
