Apple iPhone 13 mini vs Motorola Edge 70 Fusion
Our Verdict: The Motorola Edge 70 Fusion is the newer of the two, a 2026 release against the Apple iPhone 13 mini's 2021. The Edge 5G 70 Fusion has a dramatically higher-resolution main camera, 50MP against the iPhone 13 Mini's 12MP, plus a 32MP selfie camera against 12MP, and there's more battery in the Edge 5G 70 Fusion, 5200mAh to 2406mAh, but capacity doesn't compare cleanly across iOS and Android, so it isn't a battery-life verdict on its own. The Edge 5G 70 Fusion has the bigger screen at 6.8" against 5.4", while the iPhone 13 Mini has the sharper one at 477 PPI, and storage goes higher on the iPhone 13 Mini, up to 512GB against 256GB. The Edge 5G 70 Fusion doesn't just win on price; it holds its own on specs too, which makes it the easy pick unless something specific draws you to the iPhone 13 Mini.
On price there's almost nothing between them: both work out around £539 over a full contract.
