HONOR Magic 7 Pro vs Motorola Edge 70
Our Verdict: The HONOR Magic 7 Pro has a far higher-resolution main camera, 200MP against the Motorola Edge 70's 50MP, and the Magic 7 Pro has the bigger battery of the two, 5270mAh against 4800mAh, which should mean longer between charges in day-to-day use. The Edge 5G 70 is the lighter phone at 159g against 223g. The Magic 7 Pro is the one to have if you want what it adds, but the Edge 5G 70 is the smarter buy if you'd rather keep the money.
