HONOR Magic 7 Pro vs Motorola Edge 70 Pro
Our Verdict: The HONOR Magic 7 Pro has the better camera on paper, 200MP versus 50MP, and the Motorola Edge 70 Pro packs the bigger battery, 6500mAh against 5270mAh, which usually means longer between charges. The Edge 5G 70 Pro is the lighter phone at 190g against 223g. The Magic 7 Pro is the one to have if you want what it adds, but the Edge 5G 70 Pro is the smarter buy if you'd rather keep the money.
The Edge 5G 70 Pro is the cheaper one to own: around £713 over a typical contract, £682 less than the Magic 7 Pro.
