Apple iPhone 16 Pro vs Motorola Razr 70
Our Verdict: The Motorola Razr 70 leads on camera hardware with a 50MP main sensor to the Apple iPhone 16 Pro's 48MP, plus a 32MP selfie camera against 12MP, and the Razr 70 has the bigger battery of the two, 4800mAh against 3582mAh, though iOS and Android manage power differently, so more mAh doesn't always mean longer battery life. The Razr 70 has the bigger screen at 6.9" against 6.3", while the iPhone 16 Pro has the sharper one at 458 PPI, and the iPhone 16 Pro offers up to 1TB of storage versus 256GB on the Razr 70. The iPhone 16 Pro is the one to have if you want what it adds, but the Razr 70 is the smarter buy if you'd rather keep the money.
Over a full contract, the Razr 70 works out around £749 all-in, about £175 less than the iPhone 16 Pro.
