Apple iPhone 15 and Motorola Edge 50 Ultra tie on the OH Rank at a score of 61. Apple iPhone 15 wins on Performance and Video; Motorola Edge 50 Ultra wins on Battery and Screen. Motorola Edge 50 Ultra is 0.8mm wider than Apple iPhone 15. Motorola Edge 50 Ultra is the more recent release, from May 2024.
EDITORIAL: iPhone 15 is an incremental update of the 14. While A16 Bionic (4nm) chip brings big performance improvements, screen got much brighter, USB-C Port got Video Out tech and the main camera went from 12 to 48MP, the ultrawide and selfie are the same, battery gained negligible 70mAh in capacity and worse of all: the 60Hz refresh rate remains.
EDITORIAL: Motorola's 2024 Top phone illustrates what the brand is really known for: creative approach, darring to stand out but also somewhat confusing global policy that keeps many markets without access to these great phones. Edge 50 Ultra comes with a vegan leather (polycarbonate) or a wooden (bamboo based) back. It has a 8s Gen 3 processor, tons of fast storage, great screen and respectable battery endurance with fast charging. As expected, the desktop replacement software is on board that makes this great phone the only computer you may have.
Both phones here were scored by me, using the same ten categories, with no ads, sponsorships, or manufacturer relationships — this comparison is as objective and honest as it gets.
