Motorola Edge 70 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy S24+

The case for Samsung Galaxy S24+ is different, built around the sharper 509 PPI display. Buying SIM-free favours Samsung Galaxy S24+, with a listed price of £344.99 and a gap of about £402. The better buy depends on the trade-off: Motorola Edge 70 Pro for its headline advantages, or Samsung Galaxy S24+ for the areas where it pushes back.

Over a full contract, the Edge 5G 70 Pro works out around £713 all-in, about £182 less than the S24+.
