Apple iPhone 15 Plus vs Motorola Razr 70
Our Verdict: The Motorola Razr 70 is the newer of the two, a 2026 release against the Apple iPhone 15 Plus's 2023. The Razr 70 leads on camera hardware with a 50MP main sensor to the iPhone 15 Plus 5G's 48MP, plus a 32MP selfie camera against 12MP, and the Razr 70 packs the bigger battery, 4800mAh against 4383mAh, 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 6.7", while the iPhone 15 Plus 5G has the sharper one at 460 PPI, and the iPhone 15 Plus 5G goes up to 512GB of storage, where the Razr 70 tops out at 256GB. The iPhone 15 Plus 5G 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 Razr 70.
On price there's almost nothing between them: both work out around £750 over a full contract.
