Motorola Moto G35 vs Samsung Galaxy A16 5G

Our Verdict: The clearest split between Motorola Moto G35 and Samsung Galaxy A16 5G is display quality against portability. For the Samsung, that means its Super AMOLED panel and its IP54 rating. The Motorola is easier to recommend for a lighter 188g body. Go with the Samsung for display quality; lean toward the Motorola if portability is higher on your list.
