Apple iPhone 16e vs Motorola Razr 60 Ultra
Our Verdict: The Motorola Razr 60 Ultra has the better camera on paper, 50MP versus 48MP, plus a 50MP selfie camera against 12MP, and the Razr 60 Ultra has the bigger battery of the two, 4700mAh against 4005mAh, though iOS and Android manage power differently, so more mAh doesn't always mean longer battery life. The Razr 60 Ultra has the bigger screen, 7" against 6.1", and the Apple iPhone 16e is the lighter phone at 167g against 199g. Only pay up for the Razr 60 Ultra if you'll use what it offers; if not, the iPhone 16e makes more sense.
Over a full contract, the iPhone 16e works out around £481 all-in, about £598 less than the Razr 60 Ultra.
