Motorola Razr 40
Both follow the clamshell layout, with a body that becomes compact when closed. Both use a black stripe at the top of the back, where the cameras and secondary screen are located.
We also have in these two a body made of aluminum. What will differentiate the duo is that the Razr opts for plastic on the lid, while the Galaxy adopts glass, for a more premium construction. Not to mention that the Korean brings IPx8 certification, which guarantees maximum resistance once morest liquids, and is more compact and lighter than the competitor.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4
On the front, they have a noticeable crease in the panel fold, in addition to a hole-shaped notch for the front lens. The manufacturers’ option was similar in adopting the biometric reader integrated into the power button.
Neither provides a microSD card storage expansion slot. At least, sixth-generation Wi-Fi and NFC technology are present in them. The Bluetooth 5.3 used by Motorola is a little more advanced than the rival’s 5.2 version.
We see more benefits in Samsung’s design. Therefore, she opens the scoring.

The Razr features a 6.9-inch 10-bit AMOLED-type main screen capable of reproducing 1 billion colors, a differential compared to the Galaxy’s 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, which also lags behind in terms of brightness. . Not to mention Motorola’s 144 Hz refresh rate, for greater fluidity than the 120 Hz used by Samsung.
At least, on both sides, it is possible to find Full HD + resolution, which guarantees good image definition, and HDR10 + technology, to improve the reproduction of movies and series on compatible streaming services.
On the outside, the two opt for a more compact solution. We’re talking regarding the Razr 40’s 1.5-inch external display and the Z Flip 4’s 1.9-inch secondary display. Both have low resolution and limited usability.
For its larger size and superior fluidity, the Razr scores the point.

As
Manufacturers have not dispensed with good audio and have placed a stereo system in these flexible devices. They take advantage of the call speaker as a secondary channel to extend the immersive user experience with movies and music.
When we go to the practical part, Motorola’s cell phone manages to reach a maximum volume higher than that of Samsung, in addition to providing better quality, as it has a better balance between bass, mids and treble.
You won’t find the physical headphone jack on them. Apart from the fact that both companies do not send an adapted accessory in the box.
Motorola takes another point for its more powerful sound.

System
The Razr comes out of the box with native Android 13, once morest version 12 of the “little robot” pre-installed on the Galaxy. Although Motorola’s foldable has more recent software, the lifespan promised by Samsung makes the Korean a product with the superior longevity of the duo.
On both sides, we also see a fluid experience with each other’s interface, even more so due to the high refresh rates of these displays. Not to mention that both have 5G support, for fast mobile network always.
Moving on to features, some are similar to each other. We are talking regarding the shortcuts on the side of the device and the possibility of having system information and other notifications directly on the external screen. But the Razr 40 has the advantage of Ready For, which turns the cell phone into a portable PC, something the Korean still insists on leaving out of the Flip line.
The Galaxy scores for greater longevity; and the Razr scores for the most advanced features.

Performance
The Razr 40 comes equipped with the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1, versus the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 that powers the Z Flip 4. In this tussle of different Qualcomm chips, which device is the fastest? Even old, the Galaxy came out on top in our multitasking tests. It opens apps much faster and is a little more efficient when it comes to running background apps.
And the scenario seems to repeat itself in the benchmarks. The Korean has a score that beats Razr with more than 30% difference in AnTuTu. At the very least, the GPU of both platforms seems to handle any type of game very well, even the heaviest titles.
It’s a point for Samsung.

Battery
Motorola inserted a 4,200 mAh battery into its foldable, slightly larger than the 3,700 mAh used by Samsung. How will they behave in practice? Here is the logic. Our standardized tests indicated a Razr victory, recording almost 25 hours of total autonomy, a time that was regarding three hours above that recorded by the rival.
When we move to loading, the scenery doesn’t change. The 33 W adapter sent by Motorola allows you to reach 100% in less than an hour. On the other hand, the Korean 25 W accessory takes almost an hour and a half to complete the process.
This is an easy spot for the Razr 40.

These smartphones have a dual set of cameras at the rear. The Razr’s main 64 MP compresses four pixels into one and is not impressive in terms of quality, despite the good level of detail and color. Even so, you’ll get greater sharpness and more efficient dynamic range in photos taken with the Galaxy’s 12 MP. Apart from its night mode that controls more noise.
The ultrawide of the Razr 40 exaggerates in post-processing and leaves the textures with low quality, which makes the registers inferior to those registered by the wider lens of the Z Flip 4.
The advantage of Motorola is to insert an automatic focus in this sensor, to have better quality macros. In turn, Samsung takes advantage of the ultrawide blur, which makes the images better than the portrait mode via software used by the competitor.
It’s a point for the Korean on cameras.

The camcorder of the two is capable of recording in 4K. The difference is that Razr videos are limited to 30 fps, while Galaxy videos can reach 60 fps for better fluidity. The quality of the Z Flip 4 even surpasses the rival in night shot footage and sound capture. At least, both have optical stabilization in the main and agile focus.
We have another point for Samsung.

The Razr’s 32 MP front camera may have a much higher resolution than the Galaxy’s 10 MP, but in practice, it’s the Korean who takes the best selfies. That’s because the Z Flip 4 hits more sharpness and colors, in addition to not blowing the background in portrait mode and keeping more details at night.
In any case, the way out for both is to take advantage of the external set in selfies, when guided by the external screen. Head-on footage on the duo is limited to 4K resolution at 30 fps only.
The Korean gets one more point.

Motorola’s flexi was the cheapest of the pair at this time in the domestic market, in order to fulfill its proposal and have the best cost-benefit ratio in the segment. As long as Samsung has an alternative with a lower price in its old model, it will remain unbeatable as the best alternative of the duo.
