Motorola Edge 70 Plus vs Motorola Edge 70 Pro

Our Verdict: Motorola Edge 70 Pro and Motorola Edge 70 Plus have nearly matching 6.78-inch AMOLED screens and list 6,500 mAh batteries. The Pro is about 1.3mm thinner and 6g lighter; the Plus lists a 200MP main camera while the Pro lists 50MP, a resolution difference that does not by itself establish image quality. The Pro suits a preference for the slimmer body, while the Plus's stated camera resolution is a factual distinction to weigh alongside camera features.

Buying outright, the Plus starts at £497 SIM-free.
