After weeks of teasers, Samsung finally launched its latest generation of premium foldable smartphones. But how does the new Galaxy Z Flip 6 compare to another flip phone? Motorola also unveiled the Razr 50 Ultra last week, so let’s pit them against one another.
Galaxy Z Flip 6 vs Razr 50 Ultra: Moto with the taller displays
On paper, Motorola appears to have a slight edge in the display department. The Razr 50 Ultra sports a 6.9-inch LTPO AMOLED primary display that offers Dolby Vision, FHD+ resolution, a 165Hz refresh rate, HDR10+, and 3000 nits of peak brightness. For its cover screen, you get a 4-inch LTPO AMOLED panel, with a 165Hz refresh rate, 2400 nits of peak brightness, Dolby Vision, and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus.
Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 6, on the other hand, features a slightly shorter 6.7-inch Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X main display, FHD+ resolution, 2,600 nits of peak brightness, HDR10+, and a 120Hz refresh rate. The external panel is a 3.4-inch Super AMOLED display with 2,600 nits of peak brightness, 60Hz refresh rate, and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2. So Moto’s Rar 50 Ultra not only has taller screens, but brighter and smoother displays as well.
Design: Glass vs Leather
Sticking to the recent trend, Motorola released the Razr 50 Ultra with vegan leather on the back. Its screen is surrounded by an aluminum 6000 series material and a stainless steel hinge. The flip phone is rated IPX8 for water resistance.
Meanwhile, the South Korean tech giant retains the glass back on the Galaxy Z Flip 6 like its predecessor. This is surrounded by an enhanced armor aluminum frame that is tougher and more resistant to scratches. The Z Flip 6 is rated IP48 for both water and dust resistance.
Flagship Specs
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 is a premium foldable phone that is equipped with Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. In terms of performance, it is faster than the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor which powers the Motorola Razr 50 Ultra. Both smartphones offer 12GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage.
Both devices are powered by a 4,000mAh battery pack. Although, Samsung’s latest flip phone only offers 25W wired fast charging, 15W wireless charging, and 4.5W reverse wireless charging. The Razr 50 Ultra edges ahead with 45W wired fast charging, 15W wireless charging, and 5W reverse wireless charging support.
Camera
Samsung finally upgraded the camera on the Z Flip series with the rear now featuring a 50-megapixel primary sensor with OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) and a 12-megapixel ultra wide angle lens. The front, however, still features the 10-megapixel camera.
Motorola also employs a 50-megapixel main sensor with OIS but pairs it with a 50-megapixel telephoto shooter that offers 2x optical zoom. For selfies and video calls, the front houses a 32-megapixel shooter.
Pricing
Being from its ultra-premium lineup, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 has an exorbitant starting price tag of 109,999 INR for the 12GB + 256GB option, while the 12GB + 512GB variant costs 121,999 INR. It also comes in a Blue, Mint, and Silver Shadow variant.
Compared to this, Motorola made the Razr 50 Ultra quite affordable, with a 99,999 INR price tag for its lone 12GB + 512GB storage configuration. It is offered in Spring Green, Peach Fuzz, and Midnight Blue.
