Display Comparison
The Motorola Edge 40 Neo boasts a brighter display, reaching a measured 1073 nits compared to the Realme 10 Pro’s 619 nits. This translates to better visibility outdoors under direct sunlight. Both displays share a 6.7-inch size and FHD+ resolution, but the Edge 40 Neo’s higher peak brightness is a clear advantage. Contrast ratios are similar, at 1255:1 for the Realme and an unstated but likely comparable value for the Motorola. While neither manufacturer specifies panel technology, the brighter display suggests the Edge 40 Neo may utilize a more advanced panel for improved color accuracy and viewing angles.
Camera Comparison
Both phones feature a photo/video camera setup, but detailed sensor information is lacking. Without specifics on sensor size or aperture, it’s difficult to make a definitive judgment. However, the inclusion of Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) on the Motorola Edge 40 Neo, if present, would provide a significant advantage in low-light photography and video recording, reducing blur and improving image stability. The Realme 10 Pro’s camera performance will likely rely more heavily on software processing. The presence of a 2MP macro camera on both devices is largely inconsequential, offering limited practical benefit due to the small sensor size and low resolution.
Performance
The Motorola Edge 40 Neo’s MediaTek Dimensity 7030 (6nm) offers a performance edge over the Realme 10 Pro’s Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G (6nm). The Dimensity 7030 features a more modern CPU architecture with 2x2.5 GHz Cortex-A78 cores and 6x2.0 GHz Cortex-A55 cores, compared to the Snapdragon 695’s 2x2.2 GHz Kryo 660 Gold and 6x1.8 GHz Kryo 660 Silver. This translates to faster app loading times and smoother performance in demanding applications. While both chips are built on a 6nm process, the architectural improvements in the Dimensity 7030 provide a noticeable boost. The Edge 40 Neo is better suited for users who engage in frequent multitasking or mobile gaming.
Battery Life
The Realme 10 Pro’s endurance rating of 127 hours significantly surpasses the Motorola Edge 40 Neo’s 80 hours. This indicates the Realme 10 Pro will last considerably longer on a single charge under typical usage. However, the Edge 40 Neo compensates with much faster charging: 68W wired charging can bring the battery to 50% in just 15 minutes, while the Realme 10 Pro takes 29 minutes to reach the same level with its 33W charging. The Edge 40 Neo’s active use score of 10:28h suggests a smaller battery capacity, but the faster charging mitigates this disadvantage for users who prioritize quick top-ups.
Buying Guide
Buy the Realme 10 Pro if you need exceptional battery life for all-day use, prioritize value for money, and don't heavily rely on demanding mobile games. Buy the Motorola Edge 40 Neo if you prefer a faster processor for smoother multitasking and gaming, value the convenience of 68W fast charging, and are willing to trade some battery endurance for these benefits.
