Motorola Edge 70 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6

Our Verdict: Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 and Motorola Edge 70 Pro suit different priorities. The Motorola is stronger for portability, helped by a sharper 449 PPI display, its AMOLED panel, and a higher-resolution 50MP front camera, while the Samsung is better suited to a larger 7.6-inch screen, its Foldable Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel, and 256GB to 1000GB storage. A bigger mAh figure is useful context, but real battery life still depends on software and chipset efficiency. Choose the Motorola for portability; choose the Samsung if display quality matters more.

The Edge 5G 70 Pro is the cheaper one to own: around £860 over a typical contract, £338 less than the Galaxy Z Fold6.
