Motorola Edge 60 Pro vs Motorola Moto G 17

Our Verdict: For Motorola Edge 60 Pro versus Motorola Moto G 17, the recommendation depends mostly on what you want from the hardware. The 60 Pro is ahead for portability, with a sharper 444 PPI display, its P-OLED panel, and a higher-resolution 50MP front camera; the G 17 is the better match for a 6.7-inch IPS LCD display at 392 PPI, a 50MP rear camera, and an 8MP front camera. A bigger mAh figure is useful context, but real battery life still depends on software and chipset efficiency. The 60 Pro is the better fit for portability, while the G 17 is the one to consider for simplicity.

Over a full contract, the 17 works out around £304 all-in, about £617 less than the 60 Pro.
