Google Pixel 9a vs Motorola Edge 60 Pro
Our Verdict: The Motorola Edge 60 Pro has a slightly higher-resolution main camera, 50MP against the Google Pixel 9a's 48MP, plus a 50MP selfie camera against 13MP, and the Edge 5G 60 Pro has the bigger battery of the two, 6000mAh against 5100mAh, which should mean longer between charges in day-to-day use. The Edge 5G 60 Pro has the stronger screen, bigger at 6.7" against 6.3" and sharper at 444 PPI, and storage goes higher on the Edge 5G 60 Pro, up to 512GB against 256GB. Only pay up for the Edge 5G 60 Pro if you'll use what it offers; if not, the Pixel 9a makes more sense.
Over a full contract, the Pixel 9a works out around £411 all-in, about £707 less than the Edge 5G 60 Pro.
