Motorola Razr 50 Ultra vs Motorola Razr 70

Our Verdict: The Razr 50 Ultra and the Razr 70 are 20 years apart, which is enough for a real difference. The 70 packs the bigger battery, 4800mAh against 4000mAh, which usually means longer between charges, and storage goes higher on the 50 Ultra, up to 512GB against 256GB. Only the 70 has a water-resistance rating (IP48); the 50 Ultra has none. The 70 is the better phone; upgrade from the 50 Ultra if you want the newer hardware, or hold on if yours still does the job.

Buying outright, the 50 Ultra starts at £450 SIM-free.
