Motorola Edge 70 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy S23 FE
Our Verdict: The Motorola Edge 70 Pro packs the bigger battery, 6500mAh against 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 6.4" and sharper at 449 PPI. The Edge 5G 70 Pro offers up to 512GB of storage versus 256GB on the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE, and the Edge 5G 70 Pro is the lighter phone at 190g against 209g. Get the Edge 5G 70 Pro if those extras are worth it to you; otherwise the 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.
