2022 continues to be a great year for smartphones, as devices/lineups such as Samsung Galaxy S22, the iPhone 14, and Google Pixel 7 have a lot of impressive tech magic to offer. There’s even a chance that Tesla will release its upcoming Phone Model Pi by the end of the year, although the launch is more likely to happen in early 2023.
We also shouldn’t forget that Motorola has a powerful phone released in 2022 as well: the Edge 30 Ultra model. Without a doubt, the first feature that stands out is the 200MP main camera setup that will conquer the hearts of many as soon as they look at the list of specs.
Apart from the powerful camera, the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra has plenty of other amazing specs that make it deserve its demanded price of over $1,000. The phone might even compete for the title of the best smartphone of 2022, and we’re glad to compare it with the rumored specs of the upcoming Tesla Phone Pi:
Display
Tesla Phone Pi is expected to carry a huge 6.9 inches Super AMOLED display that has 144Hz for the refresh rate and 1344×2772 pixels for the resolution.
Motorola Edge 30 Ultra, on the other hand, is equipped with a P-OLED display that measures 6.67 inches and reaches a 144Hz refresh rate. The resolution is also pretty impressive: 1080 x 2400 pixels.
It’s obvious that Tesla’s upcoming phone wins this round, although you will barely notice the difference in quality between its display and the one that the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra has.
Performance
Tesla Phone Pi will likely have a Snapdragon 8 Gen1 (4nm) chipset and a CPU that reaches 3.2 GHz. Its competitor for today is not far from that description, as it has a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset and a 1×3.19 GHz Cortex-X2 & 3×2.75 GHz Cortex-A710 & 4×1.80 GHz Cortex-A510 CPU.
Therefore, it’s difficult to say which one of the two phones works better when it comes to sheer performance, which means that you surely must wait for Tesla’s phone to come out to know for sure. At this point, it looks like a stalemate.
Cameras
Surely you are impressed with what the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra has to offer in this area, but at the same time, you must keep in mind that the upcoming Tesla Phone Pi is also doing pretty well. The cameras of the upcoming phone should have a Main Wide camera of 108MP, a 50MP Ultrawide snapper, a 50MP P. Telephoto sensor, as well as a 5MP Macro snapper. Those are the specs for the rear camera, which we can also expect to be capable of recording video up to 8K quality.
Let’s not also let aside the front camera of the upcoming Tesla Phone Pi, as it’s a great one for vlogging! It is likely to be capable of taking photos in 48MP and recording video up to 4K@60fps.
As we said, the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra has a rear camera setup that consists of a 200MP wide snapper, a 50MP ultrawide sensor, as well as a 12MP telephoto lens. The phone can record video with its main camera setup of up to 8K@30fps.
The front camera of Motorola’s phone is a wide snapper that reaches 60MP and records video up to 4K@30fps. As you’ve already guessed, this front camera is great for vlogging as well!
It’s safe to assume that the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra is the winner when it comes to cameras, although Tesla’s Phone Pi will likely do better in some minor areas.
Price
Tesla Phone Pi will cost about $800, while you need to pay $1,059 if you want to get your hands on the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra. The difference of over 200 bucks is surely not to be neglected, so here’s an area where Tesla’s upcoming phone also wins.
Conclusion
The two smartphones are pretty much at the same high level of quality, judging by the aspects we’ve mentioned here, and that is indeed surprising. Who would have thought that Motorola would bring such a powerful phone in 2022? When it comes to competitors for Tesla’s upcoming Phone Model Pi, most people were guessing that only gadgets such as the iPhone 14 or Samsung Galaxy S22 would stand a chance against it.
However, Tesla Phone Pi is expected to be featuring some outstanding features that no other phone has: a battery that can recharge due to exposure to the sun, a network that allows it to always carry enough signal even in desolated places, and more. These features alone should make Tesla Phone Pi a better device than the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra, but there is still plenty of time to find out for sure. If Tesla won’t release the gadget in December, the next release time is expected at some point in April 2023.
You may not be too impressed by the 200MP main camera that the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra carries, as surely there are plenty of folks saying that it’s exaggerated to add that much power to a smartphone’s camera. We understand them, and it means that choosing the Tesla Phone Pi is the better choice in your case.
Ultimately, the decision of whether the Tesla Phone Model Pi is better for you or the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra is, is only up to you!
