Apple iPhone 13 mini vs Motorola Razr 70

Our Verdict: The clearest split between Apple iPhone 13 Mini 5G and Motorola Razr 70 is display quality against portability. For the Motorola, that means a larger 6.9-inch screen, its Foldable LTPO AMOLED panel, and a higher-resolution 50MP rear camera. The iPhone is easier to recommend for a sharper 477 PPI display, its Super Retina XDR OLED panel, and a lighter 141g body. A bigger mAh figure is useful context, but real battery life still depends on software and chipset efficiency. Software may decide it too: the iPhone keeps you in Apple's iOS ecosystem, while the Motorola is the Android choice. Go with the Motorola for display quality; lean toward the iPhone if portability is higher on your list.

The iPhone 13 Mini is the cheaper one to own: around £535 over a typical contract, £218 less than the Razr 70.
