The first book-shaped foldable phone from Motorola Razr Foldis scheduled to be launched soon, positioning itself as a Strong competitor For phones like Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7. While the devices share some similarities in design, there are also notable differences across cameras, displays, and batteries.
Pre-orders for the Razr Fold begin in the US on May 14 at Best Buy and Motorola’s website, with availability starting May 21. It will also be sold through Verizon, T-Mobile, and Xfinity Mobile in the coming months. The Razr Fold starts at $1,900 for a base storage capacity of 512GB.
The Galaxy Z Fold 7, which launched last summer, starts at $2,000 for 256GB of storage. Samsung is expected to launch The next generation of its foldable phones in the coming months, although it has not confirmed any details yet.
Motorola It revived its famous Razr brand In the form of clamshell-shaped foldable phones six years ago. But this is the first time it has launched a larger, book-shaped phone that acts as a mini tablet when opened. Foldable phones form Increasingly competitive market This is only expected to increase with the expected release of the foldable iPhone. Where Motorola can stand out is by promoting the A premium feel to its deviceswhich tend to serve as eye-catching fashion statements.
Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 is just as eye-catching, but for a different reason: it is Pretty thin. It is just 4.2mm thick when open and 8.9mm thick when closed, making it one of the thinnest foldable phones on the market. The Razr Fold isn’t far behind, measuring around 4.6mm thick when open and 9.9mm thick when closed. The Z Fold 7 weighs 215 grams, while the Razr Fold weighs 243 grams.
Here’s how the two foldable devices compare.
Razr Fold vs. Galaxy Z Fold 7 displays
The Motorola Razr Fold and Galaxy Z Fold 7 share almost the same display dimensions.
The Razr Fold has a 6.6-inch display with a 165Hz variable refresh rate. The internal screen is 8.1 inches, with a variable refresh rate of 120 Hz.
Meanwhile, the Z Fold 7 features a 6.5-inch 120Hz variable refresh rate display, along with an 8-inch main display with a 120Hz variable refresh rate.
The Razr Fold has a brightness of up to 6,000 nits for the external display, while the main display has a brightness of up to 6,200 nits. I haven’t had a chance to take the phone outside to see how the displays look in bright sunlight, but my experience with the Z Fold 7 suggests they’ll be plenty bright; The Samsung foldable has a much lower brightness of 2,600 nits for both displays, which worked fine for me when outside.
I can detect the crease on the main screen of both phones, but it’s not annoying or distracting when using them.
The main difference between the phones is that the Razr Fold supports the Moto Pen, which is sold separately for $100. You will not be able to store it in the phone (as you can with Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra), but you can put it in the clipboard to save it. On the other hand, the Z Fold 7 has ditched S Pen support in exchange for a sleeker design.
Razr Fold vs. Galaxy Z Fold 7 cameras
Foldable phone cameras have come a long way in recent years, and you no longer have to sacrifice polished images for the novelty of a unique design.
The Razr Fold has a 50-megapixel triple rear camera system with wide, ultra-wide, and telephoto lenses. There is a 20-megapixel selfie camera on the inner display and a 32-megapixel one on the cover display.
The Z Fold 7 has a 200MP telephoto camera, a 12MP ultra-wide camera, and a 10MP telephoto camera on the back. There are also 10-megapixel selfie cameras on the inner and cover displays.
Megapixels don’t tell the whole story, so I’m looking forward to taking the Razr Fold out into the world and snapping some shots.
Razr Fold vs. Galaxy Z Fold 7 batteries
Double the screens means there’s a greater need for a powerful battery.
The Razr Fold has a massive 6,000 mAh battery. It supports 80W wired charging and 50W wireless charging, so you should be able to quickly charge your phone, along with 5W reverse wireless charging.
The Z Fold 7’s 4,400mAh battery is one of its biggest drawbacks – although it was still able to last all day in testing. However, I hope the next iteration will boost the battery, especially now that the Razr Fold gives Samsung a run for its money in terms of capacity.
Razr Fold vs. Galaxy Z Fold 7 processor and storage
The Razr Fold is powered by A Snapdragon 8 fifth generation processor, while the Z Fold 7 contains Snapdragon 8 Elite Processor. Both can easily power many of the AI features loaded on these devices, as well as heavier use cases like gaming or photography and video editing.
The Razr Fold comes with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. The Z Fold 7 comes with 12GB of RAM with 256GB or 512GB of storage; There’s also a 16GB RAM option with 1TB of storage.
Both phones arrive with Android 16 Out of the box. The Z Fold 7 has Samsung’s One UI 8 and seven years of software and security updates. Motorola too Guarantees “7 operating system updates and up to 7 years of security updates from global launch date.”
Which phone should you choose?
The Razr Fold appears to be a promising choice for anyone in the market for a new foldable phone. We still have to test the device, but we have a brief Practical experience He points out that the Razr Fold’s premium looks, sleek design, and generous displays could make it a solid choice.
The Z Fold 7, which won a CNET Editors’ Choice award last year, is a great choice if you want a thin foldable phone that looks remarkably like a standard tablet when closed and has top-notch cameras to boot.
We’ll have to see how these two high-end foldable phones compare in the real world.
