Motorola Razr 60 vs Samsung Galaxy A36

Our Verdict: The Samsung Galaxy A36 has the bigger battery of the two, 5000mAh against 4500mAh, which should mean longer between charges in day-to-day use, and the Motorola Razr 60 has the stronger screen, bigger at 6.9" against 6.7" and sharper at 413 PPI. For most people the A36 does the job for less, and the Razr 60 isn't worth the premium here.

The A36 is the cheaper one to own: around £420 over a typical contract, £746 less than the Razr 60.
