Apple iPhone 15 vs Motorola Edge 70 Fusion
Our Verdict: The Motorola Edge 70 Fusion leads on camera hardware with a 50MP main sensor to the Apple iPhone 15's 48MP, plus a 32MP selfie camera against 12MP, and there's more battery in the Edge 5G 70 Fusion, 5200mAh to 3349mAh, but capacity doesn't compare cleanly across iOS and Android, so it isn't a battery-life verdict on its own. The iPhone 15 5G 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". Unusually, the cheaper Edge 5G 70 Fusion takes some of the spec wins as well, so it's the obvious choice for most people.
Over a full contract, the Edge 5G 70 Fusion works out around £403 all-in, about £144 less than the iPhone 15 5G.
