Alongside the new foldable Razr 2022, Motorola came up with a new amazing flagship: the Motorola X30 Pro. Despite being a top-tier flagship, this device does not come with an excessive price tag. Yet it sports specifications that you can usually find only on the most premium phones such as the best Samsung, OPPO, and Xiaomi devices. Another awesome handset released in this period with stunning specifications and a good price tag is the Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition. It has the best Qualcomm chipset and even one of the fastest charging technologies out there, but its price tag is very affordable compared to other phones with similar specifications. This is a comparison between the specifications of the Motorola X30 Pro and the Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition which will highlight the main differences between these two flagship killers.

Design

The Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition is stunning not only because of its specifications but even thanks of its design. It comes in a very original color option with a design inspired by a travel trunk, including a leather back and an aluminum frame. There is also a variant of this phone with a rear side made of ceramic. Further, this phone has one of the highest screen to body ratios in the whole market as the display takes up more than 90 percent of the front panel. On the other hand, the Motorola X30 Pro is a very attractive phone thanks to its curved display at the edges sporting an incredibly high screen to body ratio of 91 percent. It has a classic glass back protected by Gorilla Glass 5 instead of a leather or ceramic back, but it is dust and splash resistant, even though it does not have an IP certification.

 

Display

The Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition and the Motorola X30 Pro are very close when it comes to display quality, but the Motorola X30 Pro is the winner, even though the margin is strict. It has an OLED panel able to show up to one billion colors with a diagonal of 6.7 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, a 144 Hz refresh rate, the HDR10+ certification, and a peak brightness of up to 1,250 nits, as well as an in-display fingerprint scanner. The Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition has a 6.7-inch panel showing up to one billion colors with a Full HD+ resolution, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and the HDR10+ certification, and it sports an in-display fingerprint reader as well: it has a lower refresh rate and a lower brightness. Both phones are equipped with stereo speakers, but they lack a 3.5 mm audio jack.

 

Specs & Software

The differences between these two phones are just marginal if we talk about the hardware departments. They are powered by the same processor: the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 mobile platform by Qualcomm. It is a chipset built with a 4 nm production process sporting an octa-core architecture composed of a Cortex X2 CPU running at a max frequency of 3.19 GHz, three Cortex A710 CPUs running at a frequency of 2.75 GHz, four Cortex A510 CPUs running at 1.8 GHz, and an Adreno 730 GPU. The chipset is paired with up to 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM, but the internal storage of these two phones is different if we only consider the most expensive variant. The Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition goes up to 256 GB, while the Motorola X30 Pro reaches 512 GB of UFS 3.1 storage. Both the phones run Android 12 out of the box, but with different user interfaces on top.

 

Camera

You should have no doubts if you need the best camera phone between these two: the Motorola X30 Pro is the most advanced one. It is the world’s first phone with a 200 MP camera: the main sensor supports OIS and is paired with a 50 MP ultrawide lens and a 12 MP telephoto camera with 2x optical zoom. On the front side, you can find an amazing 60 MP selfie shooter. The Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition is inferior, but it is not a bad camera phone: it has a triple rear camera including a 50 MP Sony IMX766 main sensor with OIS, a 50 MP ultrawide lens, and a 3 MP microscope camera with 40x magnification. The selfie snapper is a 32 MP sensor.

 

 

Battery

The Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition is able to provide longer battery life for a simple reason: it has a bigger battery with a capacity of 5000 mAh. On the other hand, the Motorola X30 Pro charges quicker thanks to 125W fast charging and it is the only one to support wireless charging.

 

Price

You need at least $448/€448 to purchase the Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition, while the Motorola X30 Pro starts from €550/$550. Which one would you pick?
