Apple iPhone 13 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's 2021. The Edge 5G 70 Fusion has the better camera on paper, 50MP versus 12MP, plus a 32MP selfie camera against 12MP, and the Edge 5G 70 Fusion has the bigger battery of the two, 5200mAh against 3227mAh, but capacity doesn't compare cleanly across iOS and Android, so it isn't a battery-life verdict on its own. The iPhone 13 goes up to 512GB of storage, where the Edge 5G 70 Fusion tops out at 256GB, and the Edge 5G 70 Fusion has the bigger screen, 6.8" against 6.1". Get the Edge 5G 70 Fusion if those extras are worth it to you; otherwise the iPhone 13 covers the basics for less.
Over a full contract, the iPhone 13 works out around £394 all-in, about £144 less than the Edge 5G 70 Fusion.
