Motorola Moto G 06 vs Samsung Galaxy S25+

Our Verdict: A memory-card slot gives Motorola Moto G06 a practical reason to consider it alongside Samsung Galaxy S25+, particularly for offline media. Its 6.88-inch LCD is also a little larger, although the Samsung's 6.7-inch AMOLED display has substantially more pixels and better black levels. The Motorola suits expandable storage and a broad viewing area, whereas the Samsung is the more attractive choice for screen quality.

Over a full contract, the Moto G 06 works out around £204 all-in, about £679 less than the S25+.
