If you prioritize a higher quality camera for both still photos and videos, the Apple iPhone 15 Plus is a stronger option, though it is indeed more expensive than the Motorola Edge+ (2022). Additionally, if battery life is important to you, the iPhone 15 Plus also offers slightly longer battery life. However, if cost is a major consideration for you and you're looking for a phone with a high screen refresh rate for smoother visuals, the Motorola Edge+ (2022) provides a high refresh rate at a lower price point. The Edge+ also offers more storage space out of the box, which could be beneficial if you store a lot of media. Keep in mind that the iPhone 15 Plus runs on iOS, while the Motorola Edge+ (2022) uses Android, so your preference for an operating system could also influence your decision. Give Feedback

PC Mag

Eric Zeman | October 2023
"Apple's iPhone 15 Plus is the phone to get if battery life and budget are your top concerns. It outlasts the iPhone 15 and 15 Pro, coming in second only to the top-shelf Pro Max. Otherwise, it includes a larger display than the standard iPhone 15, the same speedy processor, a fine pair of cameras, excellent wireless radios, and a waterproof build."

"Simply put, the Motorola Edge 30 Pro offers great battery life. When it comes to real-life charging, this phone is blazing fast. This phone is a beast of a performer, with a great display and battery life, and should not get overshadowed by more popular brands. [Note: The "Edge 30 Pro" and "Edge+ (2022) are the same phone but have different names in different markets.]"
