Motorola Moto G 06 Power vs Samsung Galaxy S25+

Our Verdict: Motorola Moto G06 Power centres on a 7,000mAh battery, substantially larger in capacity than the 4,900mAh battery in Samsung Galaxy S25+. Its 6.88-inch LCD provides plenty of space, but the Samsung's 6.7-inch AMOLED panel is much sharper and sits in a lighter 190g body rather than 220g. The Motorola suits a preference for battery capacity, while the Samsung is easier to carry and better for fine screen detail; endurance cannot be ranked from mAh alone.

The Moto G 06 Power is the cheaper one to own: around £216 over a typical contract, £667 less than the S25+.
