Summary
- The Huawei P30 features a slightly smaller 6.1-inch OLED display with HDR10 support, offering a higher pixel density of ~422 ppi compared to the Motorola Moto Z4's 6.4-inch OLED display at ~403 ppi, which lacks HDR.
- In terms of performance, the P30 is powered by the Kirin 980 chipset, providing superior processing capabilities over the Snapdragon 675 in the Moto Z4.
- The P30 also excels in camera specifications, with a versatile triple-camera setup including a 40 MP main sensor, while the Moto Z4 has a 48 MP single camera.
- Battery capacity is similar, with the P30 at 3650 mAh and the Moto Z4 at 3600 mAh, but the P30 supports faster charging at 22.5W compared to the Moto Z4's 15W.
- Both devices run Android 9.0 with upgrade options, but the P30's EMUI may offer a different software experience compared to Motorola's near-stock Android approach.
