Pros and Cons

Motorola Edge 30 Ultra

Strengths

Motorola has gone for a minimalistic and elegant sort of design here, with frosted Gorilla Glass 5 on the back and a thin aluminum frame.
The phone's display is sharp enough and is quite contrasty, supporting HDR 10+ and having impressive brightness levels.
The fingerprint reader located under the display is fast and reliable for biometrics.
The stereo speakers with the earpiece doubling as the second one earned a score of very good in our loudness test and had nice sounding vocals and some bass.
The phone has a 4,610mAh battery that delivers decent battery life, although not mentioned explicitly.
The camera's ultra-wide mode produces some nice results when shooting with the main cam and low light, and night vision mode works wonders for shadow development.

Weaknesses

The telephoto cam only allows for limited zoom capabilities, and photos taken without auto-night mode processing can be a bit on the soft side.
The ultra-wide Cam's photos aren't amazing but they're quite good, with colors that are lively and sharpness that's good as Ultra wides go, but noise is well contained and processing adds plenty of additional sharpening.
The macro mode uses the ultra-wide camera but zooms it in to match the main camera's field of view, which may sound like a recipe for bad quality, although surprisingly produces some nice results.
Full Ingress Protection is not available, only splash proofing.
4K video recording on the telephoto and Ultra wide cameras is limited to 1080p resolution.
Selfies from the 60 megapixel front-facing cam can be a bit desaturated when recorded in lower resolutions.

vivo S20

Strengths

The phone features a fast refresh rate AMOLED display, an excellent portrait camera, a slim and stylish design, a large battery, and more.
The phone's design is stunning, with a unique feather-like texture that prevents visible fingerprints.
The phone has a massive 6500 mAh battery that easily lasts for 2 days with average use.
The phone supports 90 W fast charging, which can charge the battery from 0 to 100% in just 53 minutes.
The phone features a dual rear camera setup with an 8 megapix Ultra wide camera and a 50 megap of main camera.
The phone's portrait camera delivers excellent results, with a background cutout that is very close to what you'd get with a DSLR camera.
The phone runs origin OS 5 based on Android 15, which is well optimized and has smooth animations.

Weaknesses

If you're thinking of playing high-end games on this phone, you might experience some struggle due to the Snapdragon 7 gen 3 processor.
The phone's frame is made of plastic and can show fingerprints.
The price of the Vivo s20 starts at $318 in the USA, which may be considered expensive by some users.
