Motorola Edge 70 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus

Our Verdict: There's more battery in the Motorola Edge 70 Pro, 6500mAh to 4500mAh, which should mean longer between charges in day-to-day use, and the Edge 5G 70 Pro has the stronger screen, bigger at 6.8" against 6.6" and sharper at 449 PPI. Storage goes higher on the Edge 5G 70 Pro, up to 512GB against 256GB. Get the Edge 5G 70 Pro if those extras are worth it to you; otherwise the Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus covers the basics for less.

Buying outright, the S22+ 5G starts at £195 SIM-free.
