Motorola Edge 70 Fusion vs Moto G31
Our Verdict: The Moto G31 and Edge 70 Fusion come from one brand but aim at different price points. The 70 Fusion supports 5G while the 31 tops out at 4G, and the 70 Fusion has the stronger screen, bigger at 6.8" against 6.4" and sharper at 450 PPI. The 70 Fusion offers up to 256GB of storage versus 128GB on the 31, and only the 70 Fusion has a water-resistance rating (IP68); the 31 has none.
