Motorola Moto G 06 Power vs Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge
Our Verdict: The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge and the Motorola Moto G 06 Power both launched in 2025, so neither has an age advantage. The S25 Edge leads on camera hardware with a 200MP main sensor to the Moto G 06 Power's 50MP, plus a 12MP selfie camera against 8MP, and only the S25 Edge is a 5G phone; the Moto G 06 Power maxes out at 4G. There's more battery in the Moto G 06 Power, 7000mAh to 3900mAh, which usually means longer between charges, and the Moto G 06 Power has the bigger screen at 6.9" against 6.7", while the S25 Edge has the sharper one at 513 PPI. Only pay up for the S25 Edge if you'll use what it offers; if not, the Moto G 06 Power makes more sense.
Over a full contract, the Moto G 06 Power works out around £216 all-in, about £427 less than the S25 Edge.
