Motorola Moto G 06 Power vs Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus
Our Verdict: Only the Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus is a 5G phone; the Motorola Moto G 06 Power maxes out at 4G, and there's more battery in the Moto G 06 Power, 7000mAh to 4500mAh, which usually means longer between charges. The Moto G 06 Power has the bigger screen at 6.9" against 6.6", while the S22+ 5G has the sharper one at 390 PPI, and the S22+ 5G offers up to 256GB of storage versus 64GB on the Moto G 06 Power.

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