Display Comparison
The Motorola Edge 30 Ultra boasts a significantly brighter display, peaking at 1047 nits compared to the Tecno Phantom X2 Pro’s 505 nits. This difference is immediately noticeable in direct sunlight, making the Motorola more usable outdoors. Both displays share an 'Infinite' (nominal) contrast ratio, suggesting deep blacks, but the Motorola’s brightness advantage is a clear win for outdoor users. While neither specification details refresh rate or panel type, the brightness difference is the defining factor here.
Camera Comparison
Both devices are advertised as having strong camera systems, but detailed sensor information is lacking. Without knowing megapixel counts or sensor sizes, a direct comparison is difficult. However, the presence of OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) on both suggests a focus on image quality and stability. The absence of details regarding image processing algorithms makes it hard to predict which phone will produce more pleasing images. The inclusion of a 'Photo / Video' designation for both indicates a balanced approach to both capture modes, but further testing is needed to determine which excels in specific scenarios. We can safely ignore the likely inclusion of low-resolution macro lenses on both devices, as their utility is limited.
Performance
Both phones utilize 4nm process technology, but the chipsets differ. The Motorola Edge 30 Ultra features the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, with a slightly higher peak CPU clock speed of 3.19 GHz versus the Tecno Phantom X2 Pro’s Mediatek Dimensity 9000 at 3.05 GHz. However, the Dimensity 9000’s architecture is very competitive, and real-world performance differences will likely be minimal for most users. Both CPUs feature the same core configuration (1x Cortex-X2, 3x Cortex-A710, 4x Cortex-A510), suggesting similar multi-core performance. Thermal management will be key; the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 is known for being relatively efficient, but the Dimensity 9000 is no slouch. The lack of RAM specifications prevents a full comparison, but both are expected to utilize LPDDR5x for fast memory access.
Battery Life
The Tecno Phantom X2 Pro holds a significant advantage in battery endurance, achieving a rating of 109 hours compared to the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra’s 92 hours. This suggests the Tecno will last considerably longer on a single charge. However, the Motorola compensates with incredibly fast 125W wired charging, capable of reaching 100% in approximately 60 minutes, and adds 50W wireless and 10W reverse wireless charging. The Tecno Phantom X2 Pro’s 45W wired charging, while respectable (54% in 20 minutes, 100% in 60 minutes), pales in comparison. This creates a clear trade-off: longer battery life versus significantly faster charging.
Buying Guide
Buy the Tecno Phantom X2 Pro if you need exceptional battery life, a solid all-around performance for daily tasks and gaming, and are looking for a flagship experience without the flagship price tag. Buy the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra if you prioritize the absolute fastest charging speeds, a brighter display for outdoor visibility, and are willing to trade some battery endurance for those features.
