Motorola Edge 70 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5
Our Verdict: The Motorola Edge 70 Pro has the bigger battery of the two, 6500mAh against 4400mAh, which should mean longer between charges in day-to-day use, and the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 has the bigger screen at 7.6" against 6.8", while the Edge 5G 70 Pro has the sharper one at 449 PPI. The Edge 5G 70 Pro is the lighter phone at 190g against 275g, and only the Edge 5G 70 Pro has a water-resistance rating (IP68); the Galaxy Z Fold5 5G has none. Get the Galaxy Z Fold5 5G if those extras are worth it to you; otherwise the Edge 5G 70 Pro covers the basics for less.
The Edge 5G 70 Pro is the cheaper one to own: around £713 over a typical contract, £1762 less than the Galaxy Z Fold5 5G.
