The Samsung Galaxy S24 5G is the more compact choice, while the Motorola Edge 70 Pro 5G offers a larger screen, a higher listed battery capacity and faster wired charging. The S24 has a dedicated 3x optical-zoom camera; Motorola lists a 50 MP ultrawide. Those specifications clarify the trade-offs, but do not prove which phone lasts longer or takes better photos in everyday use.
How do the Galaxy S24 and Edge 70 Pro compare?
The figures below come from Samsung’s India page for the 8 GB/128 GB Galaxy S24 and Motorola’s Rest of Europe specifications page for the Edge 70 Pro. Motorola notes that specifications can vary by market, so check the exact regional model before buying.

|---|---|---|

Which phone is easier to carry and use one-handed?
The S24 is narrower, shorter and lighter in the cited specifications: 70.6 mm wide and 167 g, compared with the Edge 70 Pro at 75.6 mm wide and 183–190 g depending on finish. Its 6.2-inch-class screen also takes up less space than Motorola’s 6.8-inch display. If pocketability and reaching across the screen matter most, the S24 is the clearer fit.
#1 Best Overall
- This phone is unlocked and compatible with any carrier of choice on GSM and CDMA networks (e.g. AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon, US Cellular, Cricket, Metro, Tracfone, Mint Mobile, etc.).
The Edge 70 Pro’s larger panel gives more viewing area for video, reading and games. Its listed refresh rate reaches 144 Hz versus up to 120 Hz on the S24, but refresh-rate figures alone do not establish which display looks better.
Which phone has the better battery?
Motorola lists a 6500 mAh battery and 90 W wired charging; Samsung lists a 4000 mAh typical capacity, and the cited page does not specify charging wattage. That makes the Edge 70 Pro the stronger choice on published battery capacity and charging-rate specifications. It does not establish longer real-world battery life or a particular charging time: those depend on conditions and require comparable testing.

Which phone has the better camera?
Choose based on the camera capability you are most likely to use, rather than megapixel counts alone. Samsung lists three rear cameras, including a 10 MP camera with 3x optical zoom, and 8K recording at 30 fps. Motorola lists a 50 MP main camera with optical image stabilization (OIS), a 50 MP ultrawide, and 4K HDR10+ video up to 60 fps.
- For a specified optical-zoom option: the S24’s dedicated 3x optical camera is the relevant feature.
- For a specified high-resolution ultrawide: Motorola lists a 50 MP ultrawide camera.
- For image or video quality: neither specification page establishes a winner. Compare sample photos and video from the exact regional models if camera results are decisive.
What is the price difference?
There is no reliable universal price difference: the title does not specify a country, seller or storage configuration, and prices change. Gadgets Now displayed India offer-price snapshots of ₹42,580 for the Edge 70 Pro and ₹59,999 for the S24, but the listing showed different configurations. Treat those as a volatile, non-like-for-like snapshot—not a current quote or a verified saving.
Rank #3
- This phone is unlocked and compatible with any carrier of choice on GSM and CDMA networks (e.g. AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon, US Cellular, Cricket, Metro, Tracfone, Mint Mobile, etc.).
For a useful comparison, check the same country and retailer, match storage and RAM, and compare the same condition and warranty. Confirm whether each amount is an offer price or a regular listed price. Gadgets Now’s comparison listing is the source for the cited snapshot.

What should you check before buying?
- Regional model: Samsung’s cited configuration is the India 8 GB/128 GB model. Motorola’s cited specifications are for Rest of Europe and list 256 GB storage with 8 GB or 12 GB RAM. Network bands, configurations, charger inclusion and warranty can differ by market.
- In-box charger: Samsung says the S24 travel adapter is not included, and notes that package contents may vary by country or region. Verify the Motorola bundle for your market rather than assuming a charger is included.
- Software support: Motorola states up to 3 years of OS upgrades and security patches. The cited Samsung page gives no directly comparable support duration, so these sources do not establish which phone will receive support longer.
- Exact price and warranty: confirm the seller, storage SKU, condition, warranty and any offer terms before treating two listings as comparable.
