Motorola Edge 40 Neo 5G vs Motorola Moto G15

Our Verdict: Comparing Motorola Edge 40 Neo 5G and Motorola Moto G15, the choice mostly comes down to portability versus simplicity. The Neo 5G gives you its P-OLED panel, a higher-resolution 32MP front camera, and a lighter 167g body, while the Moto G15 is more appealing for a 6.7-inch IPS LCD display at 392 PPI, a 50MP rear camera, and an 8MP front camera. Choose the Neo 5G for portability; choose the Moto G15 if simplicity matters more.

If you'd rather pay up front, the 15 is the cheaper buy at £97 SIM-free.
