Motorola Moto G 06 Power vs OPPO Reno 16

Our Verdict: Compared directly with Motorola Moto G 06 Power, OPPO Reno 16 stands out for a sharper 461 PPI display and a stronger 50 megapixels front camera. Motorola Moto G 06 Power has a different appeal, mainly the lower SIM-free starting price and a larger 6.88" screen, and that may matter more if buying outright is your priority. The iOS-versus-Android choice also matters if you are already tied into one ecosystem. Lean toward OPPO Reno 16 for screen space or display sharpness; lean toward Motorola Moto G 06 Power when its practical strengths are more important.

If you'd rather pay up front, the Moto G 06 Power is the cheaper buy at £90 SIM-free.
