Apple iPhone 15 vs Motorola Razr 70

Our Verdict: The Motorola Razr 70 is the newer of the two, a 2026 release against the Apple iPhone 15's 2023. The Razr 70 has a slightly higher-resolution main camera, 50MP against the iPhone 15 5G's 48MP, plus a 32MP selfie camera against 12MP, and the Razr 70 has the bigger battery of the two, 4800mAh against 3349mAh, but capacity doesn't compare cleanly across iOS and Android, so it isn't a battery-life verdict on its own. The Razr 70 has the bigger screen at 6.9" against 6.1", while the iPhone 15 5G has the sharper one at 461 PPI, and the iPhone 15 5G goes up to 512GB of storage, where the Razr 70 tops out at 256GB. The Razr 70 is the one to have if you want what it adds, but the iPhone 15 5G is the smarter buy if you'd rather keep the money.

Over a full contract, the iPhone 15 5G works out around £528 all-in, about £228 less than the Razr 70.
