Smartphones today come in three primary form factors - bar, fold, and flip. Bar phones, while functional, often lack excitement. Fold phones, aiming to double as tablets or mini-laptops, can be cumbersome. Flip phones, however, strike a perfect balance, morphing from sleek bar phones into compact devices that effortlessly fit into the smallest pockets or petite bags. They're versatile, powerful, and surprisingly compact. Let’s compare the latest flip phones from two industry leaders - the Motorola Razr 50 Ultra and the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6.What’s in the box?Motorola impresses right from the start with the Razr 50 Ultra package, which includes the phone, a pair of Motorola Buds+ valued at ₹9,999, and a 68W charger. This thoughtful inclusion of accessories not only adds value but also enhances the overall user experience right out of the box. In contrast, Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip6 package only includes a Type-C cable, emphasising eco-friendliness but falling short in terms of added value for the customer. Here's an in-depth comparison of Motorola Razr 50 Ultra vs. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 Design and Build Quality The Motorola Razr 50 Ultra stands out with its stylish design and robust build quality. It features a redesigned hinge tested for over 600,000 folds, ensuring durability and minimising the chances of creases on the main display. The hinge’s smooth operation and sturdiness are noticeable, giving users confidence in its long-term reliability. Priced at ₹94,999 for 12GB+512GB variant (or ₹89,999 with bank discounts), it is available in Spring Green, Midnight Blue, and Peach Fuzz, boasting a 6000 series aluminium frame and a vegan leather back. The combination of materials not only looks premium but also feels great in hand, providing both aesthetic appeal and practicality. Additionally, its IPX8 water resistance rating further enhances its durability, making it capable of withstanding accidental splashes and brief submersion in water.In contrast, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6, priced at ₹1,21,999 for the 12GB+512GB variant (or ₹1,13,999 with bank discounts), feels familiar. Its design is almost identical to its predecessor, the Z Flip5, which might disappoint users looking for something new and innovative. Available in a range of colours, including blue, mint, white, and peach, it offers an IP48 rating for dust and water protection. While this provides a slight edge over Motorola in terms of dust resistance, it comes at a significantly higher cost, which may not justify the incremental improvements.Winner The Z Flip6’s design is sleek and attractive but lacks the fresh appeal and refined feel of the Razr 50 Ultra. Thus, the Motorola Razr 50 Ultra earns a point for design and build quality. Display The Razr 50 Ultra excels with its 4-inch cover screen boasting a 1272 x 1080 resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate, offering a smooth and vibrant experience. This larger and higher-resolution cover display is not only more visually appealing but also more functional, allowing users to perform a wider range of tasks without needing to open the phone. The Motorola Razr 50 Ultra is the only flip smartphone that comes with Google Gemini on external display. In comparison, the Z Flip6 features a 3.4-inch cover screen with a 720 x 748 resolution and a 60Hz refresh rate, which feels less impressive. The smaller size and lower resolution of Samsung’s cover display limit its usability, making it more of a notification screen than a functional display.Internally, the Razr 50 Ultra offers a nearly crease-free 6.9-inch pOLED panel with a 3000-nit peak brightness, providing slightly larger real estate compared to the Z Flip6’s 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a 2600-nit peak brightness. The increased brightness of the Razr 50 Ultra’s display makes it easier to use in bright sunlight, enhancing its outdoor usability.Winner Both displays have full HD+ resolution and LTPO technology for variable refresh rates, but Motorola’s larger screen and peak brightness give it an edge and a point in the display game. Camera The Razr 50 Ultra features a 50MP primary camera and a 50MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom, which is ideal for detailed close-ups. The dual 50MP setup allows for stunning photos with great detail and dynamic range. Its 32MP internal camera surpasses the Z Flip6’s 10MP internal camera, offering superior quality for selfies and video calls. The higher resolution of Motorola’s internal camera ensures sharper and more detailed selfies, making it a better choice for social media enthusiasts. Samsung’s Z Flip6, with a 50MP primary and a 12MP ultra-wide camera, is competent but falls short of Motorola’s comprehensive camera setup. While the ultra-wide lens adds versatility, the lower resolution compared to Motorola’s telephoto lens means less detail in zoomed-in shots. The camera of Razr 50 Ultra features an amazing bunch of motoAI features, such as 30X AI Super Zoom, AI Action Shot, and Intelligent Auto Focus Tracking, further enhancing its photographic capabilities and making it a more versatile and powerful camera system overall. Winner In terms of camera performance, both smartphones offer great results, making it a tie. Performance Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, the Galaxy Z Flip6 offers impressive performance with 12GB RAM and up to 512GB of storage, supported by a vapour chamber cooling system. This setup ensures smooth multitasking and efficient heat dissipation, making the phone suitable for gaming and other intensive applications. The base variant of the Z Flip6 comes with 12GB RAM and 256GB of storage, which is adequate for most users but limits the ability to store large amounts of media and apps.The Razr 50 Ultra, with its Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 and similar memory and storage options, performs admirably. While it may not match Samsung’s raw performance in benchmarks, it delivers smooth and reliable performance in real-world usage. Geekbench scores for the Razr 50 Ultra are 1195 in single-core, 3994 in multi-core, and 8941 in GPU tests, while the Z Flip6 scores 2145 in single-core, 6705 in multi-core, and 11098 in GPU tests. Although Samsung edges ahead in raw performance, Motorola’s offering is more than adequate for everyday use and demanding applications, providing a balanced performance that meets the needs of most users.Winner With its powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, Samsung finally earns a point. Software and User Interface Motorola’s Hello UX, based on Android 14, is clean and user-friendly, providing a straightforward and intuitive experience. The interface is minimalistic, focusing on ease of use and efficiency, which will appeal to users who prefer a clutter-free experience. Samsung’s One UI, rich with extensive AI tools and ecosystem integration, offers a more complex but feature-rich interface. The tons of features and customisation options in One UI can be overwhelming for some users but provide unparalleled flexibility and functionality for those who take the time to explore them.The Razr 50 Ultra promises three years of OS updates and four years of security updates, ensuring the device remains up-to-date with the latest features and security enhancements. On the other hand, the Z Flip6 offers seven years of OS and security updates, which is impressive and provides long-term value. However, most users tend not to keep their smartphones for that long, making Motorola’s update policy more practical for the average consumer. Winner The decision between the two will depend on whether users prioritise long-term software support or prefer a more streamlined and user-friendly interface. Battery Life and Charging Both phones come with 4,000mAh batteries, sufficient for a full day’s use under normal conditions. However, the Razr 50 Ultra shines with 45W wired charging compared to Samsung’s 25W, allowing for quicker top-ups. The ability to quickly recharge the battery is a significant advantage for users who are frequently on the go. In real-world usage, the Razr 50 Ultra demonstrated better efficiency, with a 3% battery drop in 30 minutes of 4K video playback compared to the Z Flip6’s 5% drop. This slight edge in battery performance means users can enjoy more screen-on time and less worry about running out of power during the day.Winner After testing both smartphones extensively, the Motorola Razr 50 Ultra became the one that stayed till the end of the day, making it a powerhouse in terms of battery performance. User Experience The Motorola Razr 50 Ultra provides a seamless and smooth opening experience, enhancing user convenience. The hinge mechanism is not only durable but also smooth, making it easy to open and close the phone with one hand. Both devices excel in multitasking and split-screen capabilities, but Motorola’s larger cover display and broader app support enhance its overall usability. The ability to run more apps on the cover display means users can accomplish more without opening the phone, adding to the convenience factor.Motorola’s thoughtful design choices, such as the vegan leather back and the intuitive Hello UX interface, contribute to a premium user experience. The larger cover display, which supports a wider range of apps, makes it more functional and versatile. Samsung’s One UI, while feature-rich, can be overwhelming for some users and requires a learning curve to fully utilise its capabilities. The Z Flip6’s design, although familiar and attractive, lacks the fresh appeal and refined feel of the Razr 50 Ultra.Winner With its ability to run more apps on the external display and a smooth opening experience, the Motorola Razr 50 Ultra earns another point to stay ahead of the competition. Verdict The Motorola Razr 50 Ultra stands out as the superior choice, offering a premium experience with its larger display, faster charging, and comfortable design. Its combination of robust build quality, advanced camera system, and efficient performance makes it a well-rounded device that meets the needs of a wide range of users. Moreover, you can flick it open with one hand and thats the whole purpose of a flip phone. While the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 is a robust and well-performing device, it feels more like an iterative update rather than a significant leap forward. The build Quality is very premium and solid, which is what makes it cumbersome to operate with one hand. The built-in AI features are definitely a big plus, but overall, the Moto Razr 50 Ultra is a well-rounded package and takes home the crown.
