What are the differences?

While the design is subjective, the Realme GT 2 Pro does have a Paper-inspired design that is unique to smartphones. Both phones also have a plastic frame, while the Edge 30 Pro has Gorilla Glass 5 protection on the back.

While Motorola and Realme, both deliver a top-notch display on their respective flagships, the GT 2 Pro offers a higher 2K resolution. However, the Motorola Edge 30 Pro offers a higher refresh rate, but considering it is hard to know the difference between the 120Hz refresh rate and 144Hz refresh rate, the 2K resolution is preferable. The GT 2 Pro's up to 1000Hz touch sampling rate is also among the best in its class.

The Motorola Edge 30 Pro and Realme GT 2 Pro both use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset. However, the GT 2 Pro is offered in multiple variants, including a 12GB RAM and 256GB storage configuration. Additionally, the Realme GT 2 Pro also opts for a larger cooling system.

Going by camera specifications, the Realme GT 2 Pro does have a slight advantage on the back, although the rear camera setups on both phones are pretty similar. Additionally, the microscopic camera on the GT 2 Pro is a little more than a gimmicky macro lens. However, it is a different story on the front, with the 60 MP selfie camera on the Edge 30 Pro having a clear advantage.

While the battery size and charging support on the two phones are almost the same, the Motorola Edge 30 Pro also supports wireless charging. And while the Edge 30 Pro does have cleaner software, which is closer to stock, the GT 2 Pro offers better software support in the long term.
