Display Comparison
Both phones utilize similar Snapdragon 778G chipsets, suggesting comparable display technology. However, the nova 10 Pro boasts a measured peak brightness of 784 nits, significantly higher than what's known for the P50E. The 'infinite' contrast ratio claim for the nova 10 Pro suggests excellent image quality, though this is a nominal value. The P50E likely has a good display, but the nova 10 Pro has a clear advantage in brightness and potentially contrast.
Camera Comparison
Camera performance is listed as 'Photo / Video' for both, indicating a need for further investigation. Both likely feature multiple lenses (wide, ultrawide, potentially telephoto) but specific sensor sizes and software processing capabilities are unknown. Expect comparable image quality in good lighting conditions, but low-light performance could vary.
Performance
Both devices are powered by the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G 4G chipset and Octa-core CPU. Therefore, expect very similar performance in everyday tasks, gaming, and multitasking. Differences will likely be minimal and depend more on software optimization.
Battery Life
The nova 10 Pro claims an impressive endurance rating of 89 hours, suggesting excellent battery life. The P50E's battery capacity and endurance are not specified, but it likely offers decent battery life. However, the nova 10 Pro's standout feature is its 100W wired charging, capable of charging 20-80% in just 10 minutes – a massive advantage over the P50E's 66W charging.
Buying Guide
