Head to head
Apple iPhone 17 ProvsMotorola razr 60 ultra
The short answer
Choose the Motorola razr 60 ultra for the larger screen, peak brightness, more base storage and faster charging. The iPhone 17 Pro wins no row by a gap you’d notice. The iPhone 17 Pro is £1 cheaper at UK RRP (£1,099 against £1,100). The Motorola razr 60 ultra gets security updates until February 2029; Apple publishes no date for the iPhone 17 Pro, and its record with retired iPhones points to 2032–2036, our estimate, not Apple’s. On that estimate the iPhone 17 Pro gets them for longer.

Verdict: Motorola razr 60 ultra ahead on 4 rows, iPhone 17 Pro on none
On the makers’ published figures, the razr 60 ultra wins on display size (7 in against 6.3 in), peak brightness (4,500 nits against 3,000 nits), storage (base) (512 GB against 256 GB) and fast charging (68 W against 40 W). 2 gaps are borderline, differences most people would not notice: battery capacity (4,700 mAh from the maker against 3,998 mAh from GSMArena) for the razr 60 ultra and wireless charging (30 W against 25 W) for the razr 60 ultra. The differences in weight, RAM, battery per charge and 3DMark Wild Life Extreme are below the thresholds you would notice. Both state the same battery lifespan. The other 38 rows have no threshold or no direction to judge by, so nobody wins them.

Specifications
A win is marked only where the figures can be ranked and the gap is one you could notice. A row the site has no threshold for says whether the two differ, and that it is not ranking them. = marks the same figure on both, ≠ not ranked a difference with no ranking. Every figure carries its source.
