It's look like Qualcomm gave life to a new niche of handsets after releasing the snapdragon 870. We are talking about very affordable flagship killers powered by this chipset, which is actually an upgrade of the snapdragon 865 plus released in 2020. It is not the best chipset by Qualcomm, but it is still a flagship associate with 5g connectivity and delivers amazing performance. The most affordable devices launched with this chipset are Redmi k40 by Xiaomi and the Motorola edges, which one is the best and which has the highest value for money. This comparison is here to give you the answer before we jump into the video, if you do not subscribe to our channel yet please subscribe and hit the notification bell icon at first, we will talk about the design despite they are actually affordable, flagships, both Redmi, k40 and Motorola edges come with an attractive design. The camera module is not invasive, the screen to body ratio is high, and the display has a punctual design.
According to Motorola, the aegis is splash resistant, while Redmi k40 does not provide any protection against water, at least officially. On the other hand, the Redmi k40 is thinner and lighter thanks to its small battery and small display. If you want a device that fits better in a pocket and is easier to use with one hand, the Redmi k40 is actually a better choice, but the protection against water offered by the Motorola edges is an important added value. Now come into the display section. If you consider the displays the Redmi k40 wins, and should choose it without thinking twice.
If you are looking for the best image quality. The Redmi k40 has a super AMOLED display with 120 hours of refresh rate and a HDR 10 plus certification, as well as very high 1300 minutes peak brightness. It is almost a flagship display if you consider the color reproduction, the refresh rate and the brightness. The Motorola edges has a mid-range class IPS display with a 90 hertz of refresh rate and a hdr10 certification, as well as a lower 560 needs typical brightness, despite the Redmi k40, has an AMOLED display. Both the phones features.
A side mounted fingerprint scanner now come into the specs and software section, as mentioned in the intro Redmi k40 and Motorola edges are filled by this snapdragon 870 mobile platforms by Qualcomm. The soc is paired with up to 8 GB of ram and 256 GB of first UFS 3.19 storage in terms of the hardware department. It is essentially a drone when it comes to the software. You get a user interface close to stock android with the Motorola edges and a highly customized me UI, with the Redmi k40. Both the phones run android 11 out of the box.
Note that Motorola edges has expandable storage thanks to a micro SD card slot, while Redmi k40 does not. Now coming to the camera section, the Motorola HS has superior rear camera to the Redmi k40. It is composed of a 64 megapixel main sensor, with an f 1.7 focal aperture, a 16 megapixel ultraviolet sensor with a 121 degrees fob and a 2 megapixel depth sensor and an additional TOF 3d sensor. Even the front camera department is better. It consists of a 16 megapixel main sensor and a secondary 8 megapixel ultra wet glass.
Now come in the battery section, the Motorola edges packs a bigger battery with a 5000 image capacity. While you get just 4520 images with the rhythmic k40, the Redmi k40 has smaller dimension thanks to its smaller battery, but the Motorola edges provides a longer battery life. On the other hand, the Redmi k40 charges faster with its 33 watt. First charging technology, while Motorola ages stops at watt. Now coming the last section, the price of this phone, the starting price of the Motorola edges, is 250 euro or 302.
While Redmi k40 starts from 280 euro or 338 dollars, those 30 euros do not make the difference. What does are the cameras and the displays if you want a better display quality, then go for the Redmi k40, but if you need a better camera phone, then Motorola ages is actually better? I would actually choose the k40 because, despite the edges has a better camera department, it remains a mid-range camera phone thanks for watching.
