This is cutting it a bit too close! I was in this exact dilema over the weekend and was about to go with the Xiaomi today. You must endeavor to read my mind more quickly in the future. But seriously, thank you very, very much! I'm still not sure if I want to give up the flat screen, but this has made the options much more clear!

Hello again Chris. Another amazing comparison. I really like both phones. I think the choice will be between flat screen or curved screen on these devices.

Terrific video! touched all points in this comparison. I love how you check every possible feature and consider the consumers input in every analysis

Here in Poland price difference for 12/256 GB versions of both phones is 60 Euro 12T Pro being the cheaper one. Edge 30 Ultra might be my next phone and my 4th Motorola.

Interesting comparison between two of the first 200MP camera smartphones! They really trade blows with each other, having similar specs and whatnot. Motorola can really achieve higher in the global market if they improve their marketing, they've been delivering a lot of good phones nowadays!

If you compare the same storage 12gb and 256gb of each there is €50 in the difference as the base variant of the Motorola has 12gb 256gb. Personally, I don't think 128gb (like the base variant of the Xiaomi 12t pro) is enough these days but it's a pity Motorola didn't launch an 8gb 256gb variant to bring the price down another €50. Motorola just need to sort out the video focus and stabilisation (if they can) and it will be really excellent.

Love to see more flat screen high-end phones.

For software quality, I choose Motorola but for camera and performance I choose Xiaomi 12T Pro

Honestly, after I saw your video, I give up buying Motorola and bought 12 t pro . The video recording was a deal breaker . Also the better display and the bigger battery on the 12 t pro . I have a s21 ultra and side by side look like the same display, even the same calibration . Very beautiful display !! I was not impressed by the 2x camera from Motorola . Never used wireless charging, though I had this option . I don't really think in need it, in 10 minutes I charge my phone and have enough battery for all day . What is the point of wireless charging when you got 120 w, and 0-100 in 20 minutes ?

I like your pros / cons screens but I definitely don't agree with the conclusion, in my particular case, all the pros of the Motorola over the Xiaomi are useless (I don't charge it wirelessly having such a fast wired charging, 4gb more ram makes no difference after 8gb of ram, I don't connect my phone to a pc to transfer or output anything....) whereas 150 euros cheaper and a flat screen does really matter.... good review as always Chris :)

I’m on iPhone 12, wanna change now to some of these and my third option would be pixel 7pro as well, to be honest it’s hard to choose from out of these three ...

[kingkal]

I think all flagships especially those from Apple, Samsung & Google. Should come with faster charging as in 2022 taking nearly 2 Hours to charge is unacceptable for a 1K+ Smartphone.

[jamesatkin]

Thanks for the useful vid, sir. Is there a difference between Bluetooth audio quality, do you know?

[pirx]

Thanks for going through the bloatware list, as it's something many reviews leave out, although bloatware is a ban of phones. Facebook, tiktok? Those are the first to uninstall.

Interesting, I can see the diamond pentile pixel arrangement in Edge 30 Ultra screen but not on 12T Pro. Watching this video on a 100" projection at 1080p.

[adamriese]

I don't need 50wq wireless. But ready for is a hugh thing for me.
I picked up the edge 30 ultra for 750€ here in Germany 👍

[Labios_Rotos]

I hope you see this! Do you know where to get that violet wallpaper you have on the Motorola in the beginning of the video? Its beautiful.

[BriefNerdOriginal]

In Switzerland you can buy the Motorola Edge 30 ottobre for less than 800 Swiss Francs. Really good value there!

[Tajjefazon]

Edge is more serious phone in any case.

Just fyi the 12T pro does have DC dimming. It got the 1920hz PWM built in the display.
