Although the new lineup consists of the base model and the Pro model with the main difference located in the camera department as the Pro houses a powerful periscope telephoto that allows extensive zoom with a unique prism and horizontally stacked lens configuration. The front camera lens is also better compared to the standard model.
That also led to a different back design in terms of camera placement and bumps. Other than that, they share the same screen, SoC, and charging standards, etc.
TL;DR - If you take a lot of photos and videos while also demand a certain level of quality, pick the Pro. Otherwise, the base model will be sufficient for you.
