Motorola Edge 70 vs Samsung Galaxy XCover 7 Pro
Our Verdict: The Motorola Edge 70 came out in 2025, after the Samsung Galaxy XCover 7 Pro in 2025, so it's the more recent phone. There's more battery in the Edge 5G 70, 4800mAh to 4350mAh, which should mean longer between charges in day-to-day use, and the Edge 5G 70 goes up to 512GB of storage, where the Galaxy XCover 7 Pro tops out at 128GB. The Edge 5G 70 has the sharper display at 444 PPI to 400, and the Edge 5G 70 uses an OLED panel, which gives it richer contrast than the Galaxy XCover 7 Pro's LCD. The Edge 5G 70 doesn't just win on price; it holds its own on specs too, which makes it the easy pick unless something specific draws you to the Galaxy XCover 7 Pro.
If you'd rather pay up front, the Edge 5G 70 is the cheaper buy at £499 SIM-free.
