Design

The designs of the Motorola X30 Pro and the Motorola S30 Pro are not so different. They both come with a glass back protected by Gorilla Glass 5 and a curved display at the edges: very elegant phones, and they are also splash and dust resistnat. The only noticeable differences between these handsets are the camera modules and the color options. With these two devices, you get a punch hole placed centrally, all the physical keys on the right side, and the whole rear side clean with the exception of the camera module. The design is definitely one of their strongest points and these are among the most beautiful Motorola smartphones ever.

For the rest, they are pretty much the same. These are two OLED panels able to show up to one billion colors with a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, a 144 Hz refresh rate, and the HDR10+ certification, as well as an in-display fingerprint reader. The Motorola X30 Pro is the only one equipped with stereo speakers, while you get a mono speaker on the S30 Pro. Both the displays are curved at the sides and come with a centrally-placed punch hole, as we already mentioned above.
