Motorola Edge 70 Fusion vs Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra

Our Verdict: The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra leads on camera hardware with a 108MP main sensor to the Motorola Edge 70 Fusion's 50MP, plus a 40MP selfie camera against 32MP, and storage goes higher on the S22 Ultra 5G, up to 512GB against 256GB. The S22 Ultra 5G has the sharper display at 500 PPI to 450, and the Edge 5G 70 Fusion is the lighter phone at 177g against 228g. Unusually, the cheaper S22 Ultra 5G takes some of the spec wins as well, so it's the obvious choice for most people.

If you'd rather pay up front, the S22 Ultra 5G is the cheaper buy at £285 SIM-free.
