Google Pixel 9 vs Motorola Razr 70 Ultra

Our Verdict: For everyday use, Motorola Razr 70 Ultra's strongest pull is the larger 7" screen, the sharper 462 PPI display, and the stronger 50MP front camera.

In short, Motorola Razr 70 Ultra is the safer recommendation for users who want those extras, but Google Pixel 9 is not just a fallback.

The Pixel 9 is the cheaper one to own: around £691 over a typical contract, £391 less than the Razr 70 Ultra.
