Motorola Moto G 06 vs Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge

Our Verdict: The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge leads on camera hardware with a 200MP main sensor to the Motorola Moto G 06's 50MP, plus a 12MP selfie camera against 8MP, and the S25 Edge supports 5G while the Moto G 06 tops out at 4G. There's more battery in the Moto G 06, 5200mAh to 3900mAh, which should mean longer between charges in day-to-day use, and the Moto G 06 has the bigger screen at 6.9" against 6.7", while the S25 Edge has the sharper one at 513 PPI. Get the S25 Edge if those extras are worth it to you; otherwise the Moto G 06 covers the basics for less.

Over a full contract, the Moto G 06 works out around £202 all-in, about £313 less than the S25 Edge.
