Samsung has just launched its Galaxy Z Flip phone which happens to be the company’s second attempt at a foldable phone. The Z Flip is also just the second phone launched in the same segment that the Motorola Razr operates in, which means a comparison between the two is quite inevitable.
So, here is how the two foldable phones – the Galaxy Z Flip and the Moto Razr square up.
Basic design and looks
Both have the same basic looks, which means a squarish form when folded and is hence more pocket-friendly. The Razr is that tad bit heavier though and is also the one sporting a more contemporary look given that it’s the same design that the original Razr sported when launched almost two decades back.
While there is nothing wrong with that, the Z Flip seems to have a more modern look and feel to it though this again is something that depends on individual preferences and likes. Both come with enough software enhancements built-in to allow for some interesting use case scenarios as well.

Display

Then there is also the secondary G-OLED panel of 2.7-inches which packs in 600 x 800 pixels.
The Z Flip, in turn, comes with a 6.7-inch FHD+ Dynamic AMOLED Display that packs in 2636 x 1080 pixels. That again translates to 425 ppi which means a sharper display to look at.
Then the Z Flip too offers a small 1.1-inch Super AMOLED secondary display that packs in 300 x 112 pixels which translates to 303 pixels per inch.

Also, the Z Flip has remarkably less bezel depth compared to the Razr, what with the latter featuring a bulbous chin at the bottom. The Razr also comes with a notch at the top to house the front cam though, for the Samsung offering, it is a punch hole that accommodates the front cam.
Camera
While still on the camera, the Motorola phone’s imaging abilities are defined by a combination of 16 mp f/1.7 primary camera and a ToF sensor for measuring depth. The front features a rather modest 5 mp shooter of f/2.0 aperture.
The Z Flip too comes with dual rear cameras comprising of an ultra wide-angle sensor of f/2.2 aperture and a wide-angle sensor of f/1.8 aperture with both being of 12 mp resolution.
Both the devices offer various camera modes and intelligent feature for image optimizing to allow for the perfect shot each time and in a varied external lighting condition.

Battery
With the Moto Razr, keeping the lights on is a 2510 mAh battery while the Samsung device makes do with a 3300 mAh power source.
