Realme 10 Pro+
- Potentially more powerful chipset (Dimensity 1080/920)
- Faster charging speed (marginally)
- Likely better GPU performance for gaming
- Older model, potentially less software support
- Less efficient battery life
- Endurance rating is less informative than active use score
Motorola Edge 40 Neo
- Superior battery life and efficiency
- Faster 50% charge time
- Sleek design and potentially better software experience
- Less powerful chipset on paper
- Potentially lower peak gaming performance
- Display brightness, while good, is only slightly better
Display Comparison
Both devices feature displays capable of high brightness, with the Motorola Edge 40 Neo slightly surpassing the Realme 10 Pro+ at 1073 nits versus 809 nits. This difference translates to better visibility in direct sunlight for the Motorola. While both are suitable for media consumption, the Motorola’s higher peak brightness provides a more vibrant viewing experience. Details regarding panel technology (OLED vs LCD) and refresh rates are missing, but both are likely to offer a smooth experience. Bezels appear comparable based on available imagery, and color accuracy is assumed to be within acceptable ranges for this price segment.
Camera Comparison
Both phones feature photo and video capabilities, but detailed sensor information is lacking. Without specifics on sensor size, aperture, or optical image stabilization (OIS), a direct comparison is difficult. The presence of a 2MP macro camera on both devices suggests limited utility, as these sensors typically produce low-quality images. Image processing style will likely differ, with Realme historically favoring more saturated colors and Motorola aiming for a more natural look. The absence of detailed camera specs makes it impossible to declare a clear winner.
Performance
The Realme 10 Pro+ initially shipped with the Dimensity 1080, but some versions were later equipped with the Dimensity 920. Both are 6nm chips, but the 920 represents a slight downgrade in CPU clock speed (2.5 GHz vs 2.6 GHz Cortex-A78 cores). The Motorola Edge 40 Neo utilizes the Dimensity 7030, also a 6nm chip, with a similar CPU configuration (2x2.5 GHz Cortex-A78 & 6x2.0 GHz Cortex-A55). While the Realme’s chipset *potentially* offers a slight edge in raw CPU power, the Dimensity 7030 benefits from architectural improvements and potentially better thermal management. The impact of RAM speed (LPDDR4x vs LPDDR5x) is unknown, but faster RAM would benefit the Motorola. The Realme’s GPU is likely more powerful, making it better suited for graphically intensive games.
Battery Life
The Motorola Edge 40 Neo demonstrates superior battery optimization, achieving an active use score of 10:28h compared to the Realme 10 Pro+'s endurance rating of 149h (which is a less direct comparison). The Realme’s older endurance rating suggests a larger battery capacity, but the Motorola’s real-world usage score indicates more efficient power consumption. Both support 68W wired charging, with the Motorola achieving 50% charge in 15 minutes, slightly faster than the Realme’s 17 minutes. This faster charging, combined with better efficiency, gives the Motorola a significant advantage in battery performance.
Buying Guide
Buy the Realme 10 Pro+ if you need maximum processing power for demanding tasks like gaming or video editing, and if you value the fastest possible charging speeds. Buy the Motorola Edge 40 Neo if you prioritize all-day battery life, a sleek design, and a potentially smoother, more consistent software experience, even if it means sacrificing a bit of peak performance.
