Display Comparison
The Realme 7 Pro boasts a notably brighter display, reaching a measured 585 nits, compared to an unspecified brightness for the Enjoy 20 Pro. This translates to better visibility outdoors under direct sunlight. While both displays have an 'infinite' contrast ratio (typical for modern LCD/OLED panels), the Realme’s higher peak brightness is a tangible advantage. The lack of detailed display specs for the Enjoy 20 Pro makes a precise comparison difficult, but Realme clearly has the edge in this category.
Camera Comparison
Both devices are listed as having 'Photo / Video' capabilities, but lack specific details. Without sensor size, aperture, or image processing details, a direct comparison is impossible. However, given the market positioning, it’s likely both phones rely on multi-camera setups with a primary sensor for most shots. The absence of information on Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) is a significant omission; its presence would be a major differentiator. We can assume both phones will offer decent image quality in good lighting conditions, but low-light performance will likely be the deciding factor, and that remains unknown.
Performance
The core difference lies in the chipsets. The Realme 7 Pro’s Snapdragon 720G (8nm) utilizes Qualcomm’s Kryo 465 cores, with a peak clock speed of 2.3 GHz. The Huawei Enjoy 20 Pro features the Mediatek Dimensity 800 (7nm) with a slightly different core configuration (2.0 GHz Cortex-A76 and Cortex-A55). While the Dimensity 800 might show a slight edge in CPU-intensive tasks due to its core architecture, the Snapdragon 720G is known for its optimized GPU performance and efficient power consumption. The 8nm process of the Snapdragon 720G also contributes to better thermal management, potentially reducing throttling during extended gaming sessions. Both phones have 8GB of RAM, ensuring smooth multitasking.
Battery Life
Both phones achieve an endurance rating of 113 hours, suggesting similar overall battery life. However, the charging speeds are drastically different. The Realme 7 Pro’s 65W wired charging is a game-changer, delivering a 50% charge in just 12 minutes and a full charge in 34 minutes. The Huawei Enjoy 20 Pro’s 22.5W charging is considerably slower, requiring significantly more time to reach 100%. This difference in charging speed dramatically impacts the user experience, making the Realme 7 Pro far more convenient for users who need a quick power boost.
Buying Guide
Buy the Huawei Enjoy 20 Pro if you prioritize raw CPU performance for demanding applications and are comfortable with slower charging speeds. This phone suits users who frequently engage in tasks like video editing or emulation. Buy the Realme 7 Pro if you value fast charging, a brighter display, and a generally smoother, more convenient user experience. It’s ideal for everyday users, mobile gamers, and those who dislike waiting for their phone to power up.
Frequently Asked Questions
❓ Does the Snapdragon 720G in the Realme 7 Pro struggle with graphically intensive games like PUBG or Call of Duty?
The Snapdragon 720G is well-equipped to handle popular titles like PUBG and Call of Duty at medium to high settings. While it won't deliver the absolute highest frame rates, it provides a smooth and enjoyable gaming experience, and its thermal efficiency prevents significant throttling during extended play sessions.
❓ How much of a difference does the 65W charging on the Realme 7 Pro make in real-world usage?
The 65W charging is a significant time-saver. Being able to go from 0% to 50% in just 12 minutes and fully charge in 34 minutes eliminates 'range anxiety' and allows you to quickly top up your phone during short breaks. This is particularly useful for users who are constantly on the go.
❓ Is the lack of detailed camera information on both phones a cause for concern?
Yes, it is. Without knowing sensor sizes, apertures, or image processing capabilities, it's difficult to assess the camera performance accurately. However, given the price range, expect competent performance in good lighting conditions, but potentially limited results in low-light scenarios.
