Motorola Moto G35 vs Samsung Galaxy S24
Our Verdict: The Motorola Moto G35 packs the bigger battery, 5000mAh against 4000mAh, which usually means longer between charges, and the Moto G 35 has the bigger screen at 6.7" against 6.2", while the Samsung Galaxy S24 has the sharper one at 416 PPI. Storage goes higher on the S24, up to 256GB against 128GB, and the S24 uses an OLED panel, which gives it richer contrast than the Moto G 35's LCD. Get the S24 if those extras are worth it to you; otherwise the Moto G 35 covers the basics for less.
The Moto G 35 is the cheaper one to own: around £446 over a typical contract, £128 less than the S24.
