Currently, if you are looking for a phone with an amazing performance at an affordable price, you have a lot of choices. Among these, there is the Motorola S30 Pro: an amazing flagship killer released a few days ago in the Asian market. But as already mentioned, it is not the only one, that is the reason why we are comparing it to several other devices in the same price range. Today, it is the turn of the Realme GT Neo 3: a device already launched in the global markets, including the European one, with the fastest charging technology ever and a flagship-class processor. This is a comparison between the main specifications of the Realme GT Neo 3 and the Motorola Moto S30 Pro which will help you to understand which one is the best in terms of value for money.

Design

The Motorola Moto S30 Pro has a very attractive design due to its curved screen at the sides and its very high screen to body ratio. But that is not all, because this device is even equipped with a premium glass back protected by Gorilla Glass 5, and it is splash and dust resistant. On the other hand, the Realme GT Neo 3 is another very suggestive phone thanks to its rear design inspired by a sports car. It has a glass back as well and it comes with a very high screen to body ratio. So these are both beautiful phones, even though I personally prefer the curved screen of the Motorola Moto S30 Pro. However, not everyone likes curved displays at the edges. Another important advantage of the Motorola is the fact that it is more compact, thinner, and even lighter.

 

Display

These two phones come with amazing displays. The Motorola S30 Pro has a 6.55-inch P-OLED panel 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. The Realme GT Neo 3 has an AMOLED display with a 6.7-inch diagonal, a Full HD+ resolution, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and the HDR10+ certification: it is able to show up to one billion colors as well. As you can easily notice, the Realme has a bigger display but a lower refresh rate. Both phones come with an in-display fingerprint reader for authentication, but the Realme GT Neo 3 is the only one with stereo speakers offering an improved audio experience.

 

Specs & Software

If you are looking for a phone offering the highest performance, then you should opt for the Motorola Moto S30 Pro. It is powered by the Snapdragon 888 Plus mobile platform by Qualcomm built with a 5 nm production process. This chipset has an octa-core architecture composed of a Cortex X1 CPU running at a max frequency of 2.99 GHz, three Cortex A78 CPUs running at 2.42 GHz, four Cortex A78 CPUs running at 1.8 GHz, and an Adreno 660 GPU. The SoC is paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of UFS 3.1 native storage. The Snapdragon 888+ is actually better than the Mediatek Dimensity 8100 found on the Realme GT Neo 3 and paired with up to 12 GB of RAM. Further, the internal storage of the GT Neo3 stops at just 256 GB. Both handsets run Android 12 out of the box, but they are customized by different user interfaces: MYUI 4.0 and Realme UI 3.0, respectively, with the latter being a lot more advanced.

 

Camera

These two phones are equipped with triple rear cameras including a 50 MP main sensor with OIS, but there is an important difference when it comes to the ultrawide secondary camera, which sports a higher 13 MP resolution on the Motorola S30 Pro. This is the only advantage of this device in terms of camera hardware letting it win the camera comparison. For the rest, these two devices are pretty much the same on the rear side, with a 2 MP macro lens and a 50 MP main sensor. The Motorola Moto S30 Pro wins the selfie comparison thanks to a 32 MP front snapper.

 

 

Battery

Last but not least, the battery. The Realme GT Neo 3 is available in two variants: one with a 5000 mAh battery supporting 80W fast charging, and another one with a 4500 mAh supporting 150W fast charging. In both cases, you get a bigger battery and faster charging technology. But the 150W variant of the Realme GT Neo3 has more or less the same battery life as the Motorola.

 

Price

The Motorola Moto S30 Pro carries a starting price tag of €330/$330 in China, and the Realme GT Neo 3 has more or less the same price in its base variant, while it starts from €599/$599 in the global market. Which one would you pick?
