If you prioritize having the latest model and high performance, especially during gaming with a slightly higher refresh rate, consider the Motorola Edge+ (2023). However, if a superior camera system, including higher megapixel count and better photo and video quality, is more important to you, the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra may be the better option despite being an older model. The Galaxy S21 Ultra also has a higher resolution display for sharper images. The Edge+ offers a longer battery life but is generally more expensive. Both phones have premium glass backs, large screens with curved edges, and no headphone jack. Additionally, both run on Android and support 5G connectivity. Remember that higher storage capacity will usually increase the price. Give Feedback
