Motorola Edge 70 vs OPPO A 6x 4G

Our Verdict: The Motorola Edge 70 leads on camera hardware with a 50MP main sensor to the OPPO A 6x 4G's 13MP, plus a 50MP selfie camera against 5MP, and only the Edge 5G 70 is a 5G phone; the A5 2020 6x 4G maxes out at 4G. The A5 2020 6x 4G has the bigger battery of the two, 6500mAh against 4800mAh, which should mean longer between charges in day-to-day use, and the Edge 5G 70 goes up to 512GB of storage, where the A5 2020 6x 4G tops out at 128GB. The Edge 5G 70 is the one to have if you want what it adds, but the A5 2020 6x 4G is the smarter buy if you'd rather keep the money.

Over a full contract, the A5 2020 6x 4G works out around £283 all-in, about £392 less than the Edge 5G 70.
