Motorola Edge 70 Fusion vs Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus

Our Verdict: The Motorola Edge 70 Fusion packs the bigger battery, 5200mAh against 4500mAh, which usually means longer between charges, and the Edge 5G 70 Fusion has the stronger screen, bigger at 6.8" against 6.6" and sharper at 450 PPI. The Edge 5G 70 Fusion is the lighter phone at 177g against 195g. Get the Edge 5G 70 Fusion if those extras are worth it to you; otherwise the Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus covers the basics for less.

If you'd rather pay up front, the S22+ 5G is the cheaper buy at £225 SIM-free.
