Motorola Edge 70 Fusion vs Samsung Galaxy S22

Our Verdict: Comparing Samsung Galaxy S22 and Motorola Edge 70 Fusion, the choice mostly comes down to display quality versus simplicity. The Motorola gives you a larger 6.8-inch screen, its AMOLED panel, and a higher-resolution 32MP front camera, while the Samsung is more appealing for its Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel. A bigger mAh figure is useful context, but real battery life still depends on software and chipset efficiency. Choose the Motorola for display quality; choose the Samsung if simplicity matters more.

Over a full contract, the S22 5G works out around £437 all-in, about £102 less than the Edge 5G 70 Fusion.
