Motorola Razr VS Samsung Galaxy Z Flip: Which is better? By TechSpaceCowboy

Okay, so there are two main folding phones on the market. Right now you got your Motorola racer and your uh Samsung Galaxy z, flip 5g, um, there's also the Samsung Galaxy fold, but that's kind of in its own class product. I almost call that, like a folding tablet, slash phone, so we got these two phones and uh. If you had to get one or the other, you know they're both they both started off retailing around 13, 1400 bucks, and now you can get them both on Amazon for around a thousand bucks so which one would you get now for the record? I'm not recommending you buy either of these phones for a thousand bucks. You can get a much better smartphone or for half as much. You can get one that's about as good as either of these, but if you're in the market for a phone that does this, which of the two should you buy, I'm going to compare them among a bunch of categories and uh in the end I'll give my recommendation and no my recommendation isn't it depends.

There is one of these two phones that I actually think is a better value that you should buy. It's not going to be like, oh well, it depends on no really honestly, you probably shouldn't get one of these phones if you're looking to get a folding phone, and you're serious about having a smartphone still, and I'll, and I'll tell you which first topic big topic is the hinge, which one has a better hinge. Well, this the Motorola razor you can audibly hear it when you open and close the phone right. It sounds like it's like I said in my review video. It sounds like a paper bag, so the Samsung Galaxy z, flip, wins by a mile the fact that the hinge has a variable resistance to it as well makes it a little more useful as far as not just being a kind of novelty, a callback, a nostalgia factor, the hinge in the z flip actually is functional.

Furthermore, it adds something to the phone, even if that thing it adds is kind of it still is adding to it. Z-Flip wins that category camera. Now this one's a much tougher call and uh it's almost undefined. The z-flip has two cameras ultra-wide, so it gets points for that. The Motorola phone has a pretty decent nice camera.

Also, it has a much better front-facing display uh. You can see yourself in this display far better than the tiny one on the z-flip, both of their inside cameras kind of suck. Honestly, I'm going to give it to the z flip by a hair. I almost you know what we'll call it a tie if it ends up mattering in the end, it doesn't matter in the end one hand ability how easily can I use this phone with one hand? Well, the z, flip um. I can kind of get my finger under there open it up.

It's really tall. It's its quite a lot, and it's its a little wider, the Motorola razor. I can kind of just stick my thumb under there and flick it open um. I can also close it much easier on top of that. The razor because the hinge doesn't have that stop and has that little of a spring to it right that actually makes it easier to use one-handed.

So I'm giving the racer wins in the one-hand ability department this next category, I call digital detox right, which one would be a better phone to digital detox with, and we'll start off the z flip right. While it's closed, there's no there's not really a front screen. While it's closed, you can't really use it. The notifications are pretty much nothing. The Motorola racer you have a functional front display.

The Motorola racer has a display that you can interact with fully right on the cover there. So you know, even when you're not using it open, you're, still seeing your notifications, you can watch a video you can do whatever it is. You want to do. I think the Samsung Galaxy flip is going to win that category as well processor. This is super simple.

This is spec, comparing z. Flip has a better faster processor, and yes, I notice it. I've. I've actually come into already a few issues where, like an app, won't open correctly, or it's taking forever to launch something in the camera with the Motorola racer, it's like an expensive phone. I want it to be able to do everything super well quickly, especially you know, just awful battery they're, both running android, I mean they're, slightly modified versions of android, but yeah z, flip's gonna, win that that game again um the battery is longer it lasts longer.

It uh Samsung just seems to know what they're doing in the spec game battery in this isn't terrible, but it's not great, and that comes to just the overall design, build quality materials. The razor we got, the shiny glass, which is really nice, but it tracks fingerprints, a lot. It makes it really drippy, but yeah that's kind of a problem. It just makes it. Furthermore, it doesn't look that nice, while being used.

The z-flip has that nice matte soft touch to it. It doesn't show fingerprints, it feels really nice. It looks perfect, so I'm giving it to the z-flip. That's just a much better, much better overall design when the razors open it looks like they took an old razor, and they just put screen everywhere that used to not be screened when the z flips open, it just looks like a normal smartphone and because of that it is works better as just a normal smartphone. If I had to use one of these two, I would absolutely use the Motorola eraser.

No, I would choose the z flip. It's a much better phone um hands down Samsung. Clearly you can tell by what they've done here has a lot more budget for r d. They have a lot more experience in this area um. They know what they're doing when it comes to pioneering new technologies like this, and they especially know what they're doing in the smartphone game.

Motorola you come off as a small company. I've never heard of that's how it's just how this phone is. If I had to keep only one of these um, I would keep the z flip for sure I feel like this is a viable phone, something I actually would use um, I'm not going to right, because the folding thing is just it's gratuitous to me right now, and it's still big when I'm using it um and when it's folded, it's yeah this. This is a no-go right. This I can see marketing for a thousand dollars.

It has similar specs to other thousand dollar phones. I understand the folding being an attractive feature for some people and there's not a lot of options out there. This actually 9.99 is a fair selling price for this, and that's what I was able to get it for 700 at most is what I would ever. That's that's how cheap this has to be for me to recommend this to somebody. The display feels like it's like plastic feeling it feels like a toy um.

The display on this guy actually feels like glass. I don't know how the difference is there um. I don't know how they do that. Furthermore, I just I don't know something about the design. The overall feel I'm hoping Motorola, hoping they do better, I'm hoping they take a similar concept, cheapen it up a bit uh make it a little better, give it a better battery life and uh.

Yeah, yeah attack a mid-tier target market, and this will become the new trend. People will love this. The folks buying high-end phones are techies like me, that are like kind of obsessed with all the details and uh there's besides that, right there. Besides, the floppiness, you got nothing else, really right with the Motorola phone Samsung. Your floppiness is it's okay, but I don't think that matters nearly as much as you know.

The phone we're not really doing the phone calls anymore, we're doing the're doing the texting, we're on social media, we're recording things we're using this for our maps. Only thing I'd like to see changed in this is it's really tall, and it doesn't need to be again: it's not even a square, even when it's this way, it's still taller than a square. So I'm hoping both these companies iterate these I wouldn't recommend buying either of them, but in a fight between Motorola and Samsung, Samsung brought the LED out, and they totally won anyway. I want to know what uh, what do you guys think do you think either of these phones is, is even worth buying or if you had to get one, if you were going to get one which one would you get? Let me know in the comments down below if you're new here uh, you should probably subscribe, because you made it to the end of the video, so you're, probably gonna, like my other videos, if you're returning. Thank you for coming back.

Thank you both for watching we'll talk again soon.
