Design
The Motorola Edge 40 Pro and Realme GT 3 both have eye-catching designs. The Edge 40 Pro is thinner and slightly smaller than the Realme GT 3, but they have the same weight. Both devices have glass backs and large camera modules, but the Motorola Edge 40 Pro boasts an IP68 certification for better protection against dust and water than the Realme GT 3, which lacks an IP rating. The curved screen on the Edge 40 Pro also adds a touch of elegance. On the other hand, the GT3 comes with an RGB illuminated rectangle on the back which acts as a notification LED and more. But the design winner here is definitely the Motorola flagship.
Display
The Realme GT 3 sports a larger 6.74-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display with a higher 1.5K resolution of 1240 x 2772 pixels and a 144 Hz refresh rate, while the Motorola Edge 40 Pro features a 6.67-inch Full HD+ OLED display with a resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels and a 165 Hz refresh rate. Both devices support HDR10+ and come with an in-display fingerprint scanner and stereo speakers offering an enhanced audio experience. The display of the Realme GT3 is more interesting because it has a higher resolution, but the Motorola Edge 40 Pro has a higher refresh rate so it is better for gamers. At the end of the day, there are not big differences between these two panels.

As you can clearly see, the GT3 has a better memory configuration, while the Motorola comes with a better chipset. Both devices run on Android 13, but the Realme GT 3 comes with Realme UI, a custom user interface, instead of a user interface close to stock Android.
