[SAMSUNG GALAXY Z FLIP 5 VS MOTOROLA RAZR+]
Over three years ago, Motorola kickstarted the clamshell revival with the resurrected MOTORAZR 2019 … and just a few months later, Samsung came for Motorola’s milkshake with a direct competitor: the first Galaxy Z Flip.
Well a little under three months ago, I started to think history might be about to repeat itself. Because while I like Motorola’s Razr+ 2023 that dropped in June, the reality is that it’s a phone built around one killer feature: a huge cover screen that lets this flip phone double as a tiny phone. With not much else to set the Razr+ apart, I speculated that all Samsung would need to do to crush it would be to release an updated Galaxy Flip that did the same thing. And lo and behold, Samsung has done just that.
Today on MrMobile, we’re putting the world’s two best flip phones head to head! Join Michael Fisher for Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 vs Motorola RAZR+!

This might be a small thing for some but for those like me who wear polarized sunglasses, the Razr is a huge winner because it doesn't exhibit the weird rainbow effect that makes the Samsung almost unusable. That's a gamechanger for me!

Finally someone mentioned the real difference of usability between those two phones. I went to the motorola froma flip 3 exactly because I wanted more of that front screen and I barely need to open the phone now, which also results in less battery consumed. I compared the new motorola to my flip 3 for a couple of days(regarding the camera) and actually I prefered the results from motorola most of the time, except for sunsets and video. The flip 3 processed the sunsets beatifully, while the motorola's processing was really bad. BUT I kind of found a solution for this, too. Installed some latest gcam port and now it's rocking the photos, too.

Most of Motorola's issues with the camera are software related. There are many great 3rd party camera apps that processes the image better than Motorola's camera app. The sensor itself isn't bad, though. It's almost comparable to let's say, an iPhone 12. I feel like the camera quality through Instagram, Snapchat, and Facebook look much better than taking a picture through the stock app. It's such a minor issue though, you would have to be very picky to notice any difference. To the average consumer, the camera will be more than adequate to do the job. Most apps will compress the image quality anyways, so having the better camera on the Z-Flip will still be kind of pointless.

This is one of the most helpful videos I've ever watched comparing these phones. The head-to-head comparisons of all the features were really thorough and I appreciate that immensely, especially the comparison of the cover screens. The Razr's cover screen functionality alone is probably enough to sell that one to me over the Flip 5, that sort of Baby Mode of the Flip 5 cover screen already made me feel borderline enraged haha, whereas being able to do virtually anything on the cover that you can inside, including adjusting your pulldown settings, sounds like exactly what I want. (Plus, I despise Samsung's internal ecosystem, and I'll take any excuse to stay far away from it.) Thanks for the great video. Very insightful.

I've had all the flip phones, from the Z Flip 5G to the 3 and the 4, and then the Razr 5G and now the Razr+, and I skipped getting the Flip 5 for now. I think the Razr is just as nice as the Samsung, even if the software isn't as useful, but I love the coverscreen, and I've never had an issue with it calling someone or anything in my pocket, and my dad has the same Razr+ I do and neither has he 🤷 but definitely a close fight!

@Eclipser7777 9 ай бұрын

I have both and I regret getting the Flip, at least in its current condition. The app that lets you use most others on the cover screen is region locked and not available everywhere. There are no alternatives. I got to the point where I have to create a "Routine" just to be able to turn on my hotspot for my Navigation in the car on the cover screen. As you mentioned, even the swipe down mini menu is extremely limited. I think the RAZR wins as it comes ready and able from the box with no extra apps that may or may not be available needed.

I wanted to try the flip factor again as an old flip head, bought the Razr 5G and now Razr+ in blue, beautiful phone and outer display functions are outstanding, only wish the U.S. release had included the same features as th Chinese version which has a open and closing sound tone, Tent Mode / Always on Display and supposedly rotating outer display, also that they also included a charger and matching protective outer case covers, I just ordered a Samsung Flip 5 also in blue, I know I will also like, but the Motorola Razr + to me has a more wow factor in design and outer display, I am not a heavy power user and my older Motorola 5G still works flawless and to my eyes still the sexiest feel and design appearance, Motorola brought me back to appreciate flip phones again.

Apps still aren't super well optimized for folding phones yet, though they are getting there. Also, unless you're a power user and/or working in a corporate environment, there really aren't a ton of use cases that justify the cost of the Fold. I use the big screen to watch KZfaq and show off pictures, occasionally for Google Sheets or Docs. If you're an average user, you're mostly paying for the novelty.

It'd be cool to see Moto innovate in the folding space more, Or even go fully crazy and try something akin to the LG wing for one of their flagship models one year. It's crazy that already a brand new, high tech sector of design is already feeling tired and same'y. Moto Mods were cool and while they ultimately didn't make the mark they wanted to, They did inspire innovation all round, especially with things like dual screen devices, battery standouts like the Note and Galaxy Ultra series, and even Motorola's own Stylo series. It feels weird then that when given another opportunity to go big, with at the least successful sales as one of the three biggest names in mobile, they'd play it so safe when they finally have another opportunity to be a proper stand out with some staying power. It just feels like we're in an age where while everyone is doing the exact same things, Moto, the reinventor of the flip phone, could make something as big and popular as the Razr was back when it released first.

With the Fold 5 (and probably Flip 5 too) I feel Samsung foldables finally left the prototype phase. You can put it next to any S series phones and you won't really see the difference, no apparent HW limitations. The Fold 2 before worked for 2.5 years, and it's new owner is happy with it. But I feel lucky there and I was always a bit nervous that it can break. With the Fold 5, it feels like a regular phone that works through it's whole 4-5 years SW support. Even if there are strange HW omissions (like fast charging), Samsung is still the benchmark when it comes to foldables.

Someone said you only feel it during 1st 5 minutes yet I've tried and tried but still can't deny the "slip" feeling my finger felt constantly during scrolling. Its a touch screen of course I'm gonna touch it, so it really bugging me during using Samsung flip phones.

I got my Flip 5 on August 7th and I love it! I actually wanted the Razr+ but I was able to get a much better deal for the Flip 5 so that's what I got. The only way the Razr+ is better is the external display functionality, and that's marginal. I installed Good Lock so even that isn't a factor anymore. The Flip 5 is better in every other area and will get software updates for five years. The Flip 5 also feels to be more solid after holding both as I did. Battery life seems decent so far. It's not as good as my S23, but I still get through the day without a problem. I couldn't care less about DeX. I've never used it and probably never will. If for some reason I do need to use DeX, I still have my S23 to use for that. BTW, Motorola really hasn't been the Motorola we all know and love since Lenovo bought them and has been calling all the shots. Also, ANY phone at the price point of these two should have water resistance but only the Flip 5 does.

Water resistance is not that important in this format of phones, worry more about dust.

@thullraven1 9 ай бұрын

@@fernagiu The point I was making is that pretty much every device costing around $1000 has water resistance as a standard feature so the Razr+ should as well. If it was costing Mid Range prices or less and it doesn't have it, I would understand. However, that's not the case.

Yes the Razr+ can't beat nor threaten the Z Flip5 by simply existing, but looking back few generations of Razr they have definitely improved a lot, especially in their hardware! Imagine if Motorola doesn't exist, Samsung wouldn't even bother to increase their cover display size!

@Marco-em2in 9 ай бұрын

The last part of your comment is what leads me to believe Samsung is a company that lacks creativity. They are probably the first to push out high tech but they are not good at packaging it. This is why their phone designs have always evolved around what Apple does and now with foldables they evolve around Motorola and soon with Google. The good thing is other companies are not following Samsung and are actually being creative and finding ways that they can improve without copying. While Samsung started the whole foldable thing they are not the ones who will make it evolve into a form that will be accepted and replace normal phones.

@godhero2566 9 ай бұрын

@@Marco-em2inmicro changes happen so that they have something else to improve for their next phone. They are already making a phone right after the new one has been released. With that said. The criticism they listen to are the people from 2 generations ago (z flip 5 is an improvement of z flip 3 while the z flip 4 is from z flip 2 hence why the people were confused when z flip 4 didn't have a better cover screen even when they have been requesting it a year ago and it only came to z flip 5). This formula rarely changes. With that said even without competition they will do the same in my opinion, because z flip series has been one of the flip phones that still is trying to hit mainstream market even when no other companies had to balls to even bother. Just look on their perspective. If you made the best phone you can ever make, then how do you one up the next year? You can't so become a disappointment. S22Ultra and S23Ultra is the best example.

this channel convinced me to get a flip phone and I really thought I was going to go moto. the older z flips never appealed to me and I love moto's ui. but a combination of good trade ins, a very nice samsung exclusive yellow color, and the promise of more updates and better specs all won me over. it's a shame because I'm honestly not a fan of one UI at my first impression (ended up pretty quickly moving to nova launcher) and being part of the google and samsung ecosystem at the same time can feel like having divorced parents. but it was just all the little things that made me more confident I could trust the z flip especially as someone who wants to run with this phone for 3+ years.

No one seems to talk about the screen reflectivity. The screen protector on most foldables is very reflective. My Z Fold 4 is very reflective. Both of these flips look very reflective. The Pixel Fold is the only phone where people have mentioned the reflection. My Find N2 Flip, however, seems to have some sort of coating on the screen protector. It is hands down the least reflective. It makes a big difference. Another good video though. Always look forward to your take on things. :)
