Motorola Edge 70 Fusion vs Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra

Our Verdict: Motorola Edge 70 Fusion and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra suit different priorities. The Samsung is stronger for display quality, helped by a larger 8-inch screen, its LTPO AMOLED 2X panel, and a higher-resolution 200MP rear camera, while the Motorola is better suited to a sharper 450 PPI display, its AMOLED panel, and a lighter 177g body. Choose the Samsung for display quality; choose the Motorola if portability matters more.

Over a full contract, the Edge 5G 70 Fusion works out around £421 all-in, about £1100 less than the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra.
