Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro Speed
- Potentially stronger sustained performance due to Snapdragon 778G's core configuration.
- Fast 67W charging with PD3.0 and QC3+ support.
- Likely optimized software experience for gaming and demanding apps.
- Battery life data unavailable, potentially shorter than the Edge 40 Neo.
- Display brightness likely lower than the Edge 40 Neo.
Motorola Edge 40 Neo
- Excellent battery life with over 10 hours of active use.
- Bright 1073 nit display for outdoor visibility.
- Fast 68W charging with a 15-minute 50% charge.
- Dimensity 7030 may exhibit more thermal throttling under sustained load.
- Camera details are limited, making a direct comparison difficult.
Display Comparison
The Motorola Edge 40 Neo boasts a significantly brighter display, reaching a measured peak of 1073 nits, compared to an assumed lower peak brightness on the Redmi Note 12 Pro Speed (data unavailable). This translates to better visibility outdoors. While panel technology isn't specified for either, the Edge 40 Neo's brightness advantage is a clear win for outdoor use. Bezels are likely comparable given the market segment, and color accuracy is assumed to be good on both, though the Edge 40 Neo's higher brightness allows for a wider color gamut.
Camera Comparison
Camera details beyond 'Photo/Video' for the Edge 40 Neo are limited. The Redmi Note 12 Pro Speed’s camera system is not specified in the provided data, but the market segment suggests a primary sensor of at least 64MP. The Edge 40 Neo’s image processing style is likely tuned for vibrant colors, typical of Motorola. Without sensor size or aperture information, a direct comparison is difficult, but the Redmi Note 12 Pro Speed is likely to offer more detailed images if it features a higher resolution primary sensor. The inclusion of OIS on either device is unknown, but would be a significant advantage for video recording and low-light photography.
Performance
Both phones utilize 6nm chipsets, but the architectures differ. The Redmi Note 12 Pro Speed’s Snapdragon 778G 5G features a 1x2.4 GHz Cortex-A78 core, alongside three additional Cortex-A78 cores, and four Cortex-A55 cores. The Motorola Edge 40 Neo’s Dimensity 7030 has 2x2.5 GHz Cortex-A78 cores and six Cortex-A55 cores. While the Dimensity 7030 has faster primary cores, the Snapdragon 778G’s additional mid-core could provide a more sustained performance advantage in multi-threaded tasks. The Redmi Note 12 Pro Speed likely benefits from more mature software optimization for the Snapdragon platform. RAM speed is not specified, but both are expected to use LPDDR4X or LPDDR5, impacting multitasking performance.
Battery Life
The Motorola Edge 40 Neo demonstrably leads in battery life, achieving 10:28 hours of active use and an endurance rating of 80 hours. This is a significant advantage over the Redmi Note 12 Pro Speed, for which battery life data is unavailable. Both phones support fast charging – 68W for the Edge 40 Neo (50% in 15 minutes) and 67W for the Redmi Note 12 Pro Speed (PD3.0, QC3+). While the charging speeds are comparable, the Edge 40 Neo’s superior battery capacity and efficiency mean users will spend less time tethered to a charger.
Buying Guide
Buy the Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro Speed if you need a phone for demanding tasks like gaming or video editing, and value fast 67W charging. Buy the Motorola Edge 40 Neo if you prioritize all-day battery life, a bright and color-accurate display, and a more streamlined software experience. The Edge 40 Neo is also a better fit for users who frequently consume media on their phones.
