Display Comparison

Both phones feature HD+ displays, but the G10 Power typically has a slightly larger screen size (around 6.6 inches vs. 6.5 inches on the E40). Expect similar display quality, with decent viewing angles and color reproduction for everyday use. The G10 Power may offer slightly better brightness.

Camera Comparison

The Moto E40 often boasts a higher megapixel count for its main camera (typically 48MP vs. 13MP on the G10 Power). However, image quality isn't solely about megapixels. The G10 Power's Snapdragon 460 often provides better image processing, resulting in more detailed and vibrant photos, especially in challenging lighting conditions. Both offer decent front-facing cameras for selfies.

Performance

This is where the G10 Power shines. The Snapdragon 460 chipset is noticeably faster and more efficient than the Unisoc T700 in the E40. Expect smoother multitasking, faster app loading times, and a more responsive user experience on the G10 Power. Gaming performance will also be better on the G10 Power.

Battery Life

The Moto G10 Power lives up to its name with a massive battery (typically 6000mAh) offering exceptional battery life – easily lasting a day and a half or even two days on a single charge. The Moto E40 has a smaller battery (around 5000mAh), providing good battery life but not as impressive as the G10 Power. The G10 Power also supports 20W fast charging, while the E40 is limited to 10W.

Buying Guide

The Motorola Moto G10 Power is ideal for users who prioritize performance, battery life, and faster charging. The Moto E40 is a good option for those on a tighter budget who value a stylish design and don't need top-tier performance.
