Motorola Edge 30 Pro vs POCO F4 GT: Specs Comparison

Xiaomi just launched the POCO F4 GT in the global market with an incredible price tag. Thanks to the launch promo, you need less than €500 to purchase a phone with Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, while it will cost €599 when the promo ends. We believe that, at least in the European market, the POCO F4 GT currently has only two rivals in the flagship segment: the Realme GT 2 Pro and the Motorola Edge 30 Pro. They are both more expensive as there is no SD8G1 phone at that incredible price, but they also offer something more. After comparing the latest Xiaomi flagship killer to the Realme GT 2 Pro, here is a comparison between the specifications of the POCO F4 GT and the Motorola Edge 30 Pro.

Design

Do you prefer a sober design or do you like original and gaming-centric aesthetics? If your answer is the former, then go for the Motorola Edge 30 Pro. But if you do not mind having an aggressive design, then you should opt for the Xiaomi POCO F4 GT. First of all, this handset comes with premium materials, unlike the Motorola Edge 30 Pro: it has a glass back and an aluminum frame. Further, it has two physical magnetic pop-up gaming triggers which can be extracted from the phone during the most competitive gaming sessions. The Motorola Edge 30 Pro has a water repellent design, but unfortunately, it is made of polycarbonate.

Display

The displays of these two phones are very close and it is hard to establish which one provides the best quality. The POCO F4 GT has a 6.67-inch AMOLED panel with a Full HD+ resolution, one billion colors, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and the HDR10+ certification. The Motorola Edge 30 Pro has an OLED panel with the same specifications, except for the fact that it comes with a higher 144 Hz refresh rate. Despite sporting AMOLED panels, both phones are equipped with side-mounted fingerprint readers. They also come with stereo speakers, but the POCO F4 GT has four speakers instead of just two. Note that the panel of the POCO flagship is protected by Gorilla Glass Victus, while the Motorola has Gorilla Glass 3 protection.

Specs & Software

The performance provided by these two flagships should be more or less the same. They are both powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform: the best chipset by Qualcomm built at 4 nm and running at a max frequency of 3 GHz. The SoC is paired with up to 12 GB of RAM. Note that the Motorola Edge 30 Pro has a configuration with 512 GB of internal storage, while you can get maximum storage of 256 GB with the POCO F4 GT. The handsets run Android 12 out of the box with a customized user interface on top and they will get at least two major updates.

Camera

The most important advantage of the Motorola Edge 30 Pro over the POCO F4 GT is the camera setup. It has a triple rear camera including a 50 MP main sensor with OIS, a 50 MP ultrawide camera, and a 2 MP depth sensor. It even comes with a stunning 60 MP front camera supporting video recording with a 4K resolution. The POCO F4 GT has an inferior and midrange-class 64 MP main sensor paired with a non-impressive 8 MP ultrawide camera and a 2 MP macro lens.

Battery

The battery of the Motorola Edge 30 Pro has a slightly bigger capacity with 4800 mAh and, unlike the POCO F4 GT, it supports wireless charging. On the other hand, the POCO F4 GT comes with a faster charging technology, thanks to a 120W power against just 68W.

Price

As already mentioned above, the starting price of the POCO F4 GT is €599/$630 for the 8/128 GB configuration, while the starting listing price of the Motorola Edge 30 Pro is €799/$843. The Edge 30 Pro is actually a better flagship thanks to better cameras and wireless charging, but you can get something similar while saving €200: which one would you pick?
