Motorola Moto G 06 vs Samsung Galaxy A35

Our Verdict: The clearest split between Samsung Galaxy A35 and Motorola Moto G 06 is display quality against portability. For the Samsung, that means a sharper 390 PPI display, its Super AMOLED panel, and a higher-resolution 13MP front camera. The Motorola is easier to recommend for a larger 6.9-inch screen and a lighter 194g body. Go with the Samsung for display quality; lean toward the Motorola if portability is higher on your list.

If you'd rather pay up front, the Moto G 06 is the cheaper buy at £87 SIM-free.
