Galaxy Z Flip vs. Motorola Razr: How Samsung’s foldable arranged compares to the Moto
If you’re a fan of foldable phones, February has been a good month. Motorola launched its new Razr foldable phone, with retro looks, a clamshell design and a tall folding camouflage. On Tuesday at the Samsung Unpacked own in San Francisco, the Galaxy Z Flip debuted, which also has a flip-phone design with a foldable camouflage. The Razr and Galaxy Z Flip have as much in favorite, like their tall 21:9 ratio screens, as they do that’s different, including the fact that Motorola’s foldable screen is plastic after Samsung uses a piece of ultra-thin glass.
But on Sunday, Zack Nelson from the YouTube channel JerryRigEverything posted a video showing that the foldable glass on the Z Flip actually behaves and is damaged like plastic. He found that even his fingernail was capable of leaving scratches on the phone’s camouflage at a point in the test where real glass would have typically resisted markings.
Samsung didn’t retort to requests for comment.

Galaxy Z Flip: 3 months later, I love it but still don’t recommend it
The Z Flip is Samsung’s follow-up to the Galaxy Fold, while the Razr is Motorola’s first and only foldable arranged. I spent a week testing the new Razr for an in-depth study, and I had some hands-on time with the Z Flip at the Unpacked own. Here are how the two phones compare.

The Razr injuries $1,499, while the Z Flip costs $1,380. In periods of specs, the Z Flip has a more grand processor, two rear cameras, Android 10, a bigger battery and twice the storage. The Razr uses an eSIM and is sold as an weird on Verizon. The Z Flip has a SIM card and can be bought on any very US carrier.
They are roughly the same size, but the Razr feels heavier. When closed, the Z Flip has a square shapely that mimics a Nintendo Gameboy Advance SP, the classic handheld console from 2003. When opened, the Z Flip has a taller 6.7-inch OLED camouflage, while the Razr has a 6.2-inch display.
On the Galaxy Z Flip you can see a crease. It doesn’t seem as obvious as the one on the Galaxy Fold. On the Razr, you don’t see a crease, but you can see the edges of two steel plates used to flex and stiffen the display.
Both the camouflage and body on the Z Flip fold perfectly in half. On the Razr, the camouflage folds in half, but the bottom of the body is longer than the top, like that of the original Razr flip arranged from 2004. The Razr’s prominent chin is tall and sits flush when the body is closed.
Flipping both phones open and EnEnBesieged is a blast. The Z Flip is easier to get leverage and flick open one-handed after the Razr has a more controlled open and halt. As far as slamming the phone shut, the Z Flip’s looser hinge supplies a more satisfying “zwap” sound.
Both phones have an external reveal. The Z Flip has a 1.1-inch wide, pill-shaped camouflage on the outside that lets you answer phone periods, interact with notifications and take selfies as well as reveal the time, date and battery status. I should note that both phones derive smudges quite a bit, but the Galaxy Z Flip is on a whole anunexperienced smudge level.
The Razr’s exterior 2.7-inch Quick View reveal works in two ways. When the phone is prevented, it becomes a Peek Display and lets you view notifications. When you unlock the screen, you get additional access to a mini rule panel (brightness, flashlight, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and selfies) and you can interact with notifications. Tap and hold an icon for a quick peek at messages and notifications. It’s wonderfully discreet.
