Motorola Edge 60 Pro
- Exceptional battery life (67:47h endurance)
- Bright display (1595 nits)
- Competitive price point
- Camera specs unknown, potentially less advanced
- Slower charging than Xiaomi 13 Pro
Xiaomi 13 Pro
- Ultra-fast 120W wired charging
- Potentially superior camera system
- Powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset
- Lower battery endurance (115h rating)
- Shorter active use score (10:55h)
Display Comparison
The Motorola Edge 60 Pro boasts a display capable of reaching a measured 1595 nits of peak brightness, exceeding the Xiaomi 13 Pro’s 1253 nits. This translates to better visibility in direct sunlight. While both displays feature a 4nm chipset, the difference in brightness is noticeable. The Xiaomi 13 Pro advertises an 'Infinite' contrast ratio, typical of OLED panels, but lacks specific details on panel technology like LTPO. The Edge 60 Pro’s higher peak brightness is a clear advantage for outdoor use.
Camera Comparison
The Xiaomi 13 Pro is marketed with a strong emphasis on its camera capabilities, though specific details beyond 'Photo / Video' are absent in the provided data. The Motorola Edge 60 Pro’s camera specs are also not provided, making a direct comparison difficult. However, given Xiaomi’s history, it’s reasonable to expect a more advanced camera system with larger sensors and more sophisticated image processing. Without sensor size or aperture information, it’s impossible to definitively declare a winner, but Xiaomi’s brand positioning suggests an advantage in this area.
Performance
The core difference lies in the chipsets: the Motorola Edge 60 Pro utilizes the Mediatek Dimensity 8350 Extreme (4nm), while the Xiaomi 13 Pro features the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 (4nm). The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, with its Cortex-X3 prime core, generally offers higher peak performance, but the Dimensity 8350 Extreme is a very capable chip. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2’s CPU configuration (1x3.2 GHz Cortex-X3, 2x2.8 GHz Cortex-A715, 2x2.8 GHz Cortex-A710, 3x2.0 GHz Cortex-A510) is slightly different than the Edge 60 Pro’s (1x3.35 GHz Cortex-A715, 3x3.20 GHz Cortex-A715, 4x2.20 GHz Cortex-A510), potentially impacting multi-core performance. Both utilize LPDDR5x RAM, but thermal management will be crucial in sustained workloads, and the 4nm process node on both chips suggests relatively efficient operation.
Battery Life
Battery life is where the Motorola Edge 60 Pro truly shines. Its measured endurance of 67:47h significantly outpaces the Xiaomi 13 Pro’s 115h endurance rating (which is an older metric). The Edge 60 Pro also boasts a strong active use score of 16:14h compared to the Xiaomi 13 Pro’s 10:55h. While the Xiaomi 13 Pro compensates with incredibly fast 120W wired charging (0-100% in 19 minutes) and 50W wireless charging (0-100% in 36 minutes), the Edge 60 Pro’s 90W wired charging is still respectable. The Edge 60 Pro also offers 15W wireless and 5W reverse wired charging, while the Xiaomi 13 Pro has 10W reverse wireless.
Buying Guide
Buy the Motorola Edge 60 Pro if you need exceptional battery life, a smooth and responsive user experience for everyday tasks, and value for money. It’s ideal for users who frequently travel or rely heavily on their phone throughout the day. Buy the Xiaomi 13 Pro if you prioritize the fastest possible charging speeds, a potentially superior camera system (pending detailed camera tests), and are willing to trade some battery endurance for those features. It’s geared towards power users and photography enthusiasts.
