Flip Folders are already less common than Horizontal Folders as businesses choose to focus on premium large screen devices. There is really only Samsung, Motorola and Huawei, although the latter is cut off from the Google Play Store and 5G connectivity.
As for Motorola, its Razrs seemed like gimmicks: $ 1,400 for a Snapdragon 765 phone, even foldable, wasn’t something people really wanted. Maybe some nostalgic fans with money to burn, but that’s about it.
Motorola Razr 2022 in different tipping positions
However, the Motorola Razr 2022 is a completely different beast. On paper, this model may be better than Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip4. Let’s do a quick head-to-head comparison.
The Razr has a faster 144Hz P-OLED display (compared to 120Hz Dynamic AMOLED), a larger external display (2.7 “vs 1.9”), a better main camera (50MP 1/1, 55 “vs 12MP 1 / 1.76”) and selfie camera (32MP vs 10MP). Also, the Razr 2022 supports the Motorola Ready For (desktop mode), the Z Flip4 has no DeX.
Samsung also has things to do. For example, it boasts adequate IPX8 water resistance (compared to IP52) and the body is more ergonomic – the Razr is 79.8mm wide, which isn’t ideal for small hands (the Z Flip4 is 71 , 9 mm). And despite being lighter (187g vs 200g), the Samsung has a larger 3,700mAh battery (vs 3,500mAh), it also supports wireless charging.
Motorola has even managed to reduce the price to more manageable levels: € 1,200 / £ 950 in Europe, compared to the Z Flip4 at € 1,100 / £ 1,000. Note that at these base prices the Moto has double the storage space (8/256 GB vs 8/128 GB configuration).
Motorola has not yet confirmed the software update schedule for the Razr 2022, but its recent flagships have received 3 OS updates and 4 years of security patches (compared to 4 OS updates and 5 years of Z patch Flip4).
For completeness, we should briefly mention the Huawei P50 Pocket: it is cheaper, but it is a 2021 model with 4G connectivity and Snapdragon 888. It has a 6.9 “120Hz OLED display (on a 75.5mm body of width), plus a solid camera set that includes a 40MP main and 13MP ultra-wide, plus a large 4,000mAh battery with 40W fast charging. There’s also the aforementioned limited software access , although Huawei’s AppGallery has grown quite a bit since launch.
However, if you want a foldable flip you really only have two options: the Motorola or the Samsung. Well, is the Motorola Razr 2022 your choice for a foldable fold? Vote below or on this page.
