Motorola Razr 50 vs Motorola Razr 70 Ultra

Our Verdict: If you've got the Razr 50, the Razr 70 Ultra is 20 years of updates on from it. There's more battery in the 70 Ultra, 5000mAh to 4200mAh, which usually means longer between charges, and storage goes higher on the 70 Ultra, up to 512GB against 256GB. The 70 Ultra has the sharper display at 462 PPI to 413, and the 50 is the lighter phone at 188g against 199g. If you're on the 50, the 70 Ultra is a real step up, but only worth it if the changes above matter to you.

If you'd rather pay up front, the 50 is the cheaper buy at £602 SIM-free.
