Motorola Edge 70 Fusion vs Samsung Galaxy S23 FE

Our Verdict: There's more battery in the Motorola Edge 70 Fusion, 5200mAh to 4500mAh, which usually means longer between charges, and the Edge 5G 70 Fusion has the stronger screen, bigger at 6.8" against 6.4" and sharper at 450 PPI. The Edge 5G 70 Fusion is the lighter phone at 177g against 209g. Get the Edge 5G 70 Fusion if those extras are worth it to you; otherwise the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE covers the basics for less.

If you'd rather pay up front, the S23 FE is the cheaper buy at £170 SIM-free.
