If you're prioritizing camera quality and are okay with a smaller screen, the Apple iPhone 13 mini has a higher overall camera quality. However, if battery life is more important and you prefer Android over iOS, the Motorola Edge offers longer battery life and a larger screen, which is better for media consumption, all at a lower cost. Keep in mind that the iPhone 13 mini has a newer, more powerful processor, which could lead to smoother performance. The Edge provides more storage space, and for those who prefer the convenience of a headphone jack, the Edge includes one while the iPhone does not. Give Feedback

Tom's Guide

Jordan Palmer | May 2022
"It’s the best small phone you can possibly buy, outpacing anything Android can offer. With the A15 Bionic system-on-chip, which includes a quad-core GPU, the iPhone 13 mini is a very powerful little phone. Fans of smaller handsets will love this phone, as it fits in many a pocket."

TechRadar

Tom Bedford | July 2020
"The Motorola Edge has a battery that won’t leave you wanting, whether you just want to take some pictures, or play games and record videos for much of the day, so if you don’t want to worry about having to top up your device all the time, the Edge might be a good choice. Leaving aside its impressive specs and features, the Motorola Edge just looks pretty good, and it feels great in the hand too, so if ‘style’ is a factor in your phone-buying decisions the Edge is well worth a look."
