    Our pick

    Motorola moto e15

    Why it fits you

    • The cheapest option and a sensible match for basic calls and texts, with a large 90Hz screen, dual-SIM support, expandable storage and a very large battery.
    • Its modest processor and memory make it less suitable for demanding apps than the other two phones.

    Motorola moto g15

    Motorola moto g15

    Why it fits you

    • The most capable Motorola here, combining 128GB storage, 4GB RAM, stereo speakers, a large battery and a higher-resolution display.
    • It is a better entertainment and multitasking phone than the moto e15, while the Galaxy A16 remains the better choice for display quality and longer software-support expectations.
