Motorola Razr 2022 vs Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 design and look quality
Comparing the design of the Moto Razr 2022 to the other clamshell king with a flexible display that was announced at the same time – the Z Flip 4 – we can’t help but notice the Razr’s more utilitarian, business look, against the modern Flip with its 75 custom color combinations. Heck, even the camera island is stuck on the Motorola phone like most of these “rigid” phones these days, indicating that larger sensors may be at play here. The Razr is taller, thicker and wider than the Z Flip 4, and also slightly heavier. Its 6.7″ 1080p display has a wider aspect ratio than the tall and thin 6.7″ on the Flip 4, so you’ve got more screen real estate to see on Motorola’s phone. The Moto Razr 2022’s front display is also much larger, at 2.7 inches versus the Galaxy’s 1.9 inches, so you can see notifications and messages more clearly. At first glance, the Galaxy Z Flip 4 has the same 1.9-inch 260 x 512 pixels exterior panel as its predecessor. The 6.7-inch FHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X 2640 x 1080 22:9 aspect ratio Infinity Flex 6.7-inch FHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X indoor display’s 120Hz adaptive refresh rate still can’t match the Motorola Razr 2022’s 144Hz refresh, the highest-end foldable phone . The fact that Motorola put one of the fastest displays on a phone out there with its foldable phone is breathtaking, and the slightly lower vertical resolution means that the faster refresh won’t cost the battery much more than 120Hz rate of Z Flip 4. The Z Flip 4 display is made from diodes made from Samsung’s newest generation OLED M12 which offers a brighter panel with less power consumption, so here Samsung has a leg up, as you can see from our display benchmarks below. Samsung’s 2022 foldable clamshell also has a Bespoke version, which introduces a number of new color combinations for the front and back in yellow, white, navy, khaki, red, as well as for the frame which can be either silver either painted. Black or Gold shades.
Motorola Razr 2022 vs Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 performance
Packed with the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset, both the Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Motorola Razr 2022 carry the fastest processor for Android phones right now, and the Motorola phone’s slightly lower pixel density means its performance will surpass that of the Samsung phone. Provided the display isn’t running at its maximum 144Hz refresh rate, that is. The 8GB RAM available on all versions of the Galaxy Z Flip 4, including the flagship 512GB storage, increases by 50% more RAM on the Moto Razr 2022 for the 12GB/512GB model, making it the most powerful foldable phone ever made when you count the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor and the 1080p screen resolution it has to deliver.

Motorola Razr 2022 vs Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 camera
In addition to more processing power and memory in a foldable phone, Motorola has equipped the Razr 2022 with a 50MP main camera sensor and a 13MP ultrawide/macro camera, which is again the most powerful camera set you’ll find in a clamshell with bent screen. In a main 12MP wide-angle camera with Samsung’s Dual Pixel autofocus technology and optical image stabilization, as well as an old 12MP camera, the Z Flip 4 is no match, except for the large 1.8 micron pixel size that helps in low light situations. The 10MP selfie snapper does well, as you can see in the camera samples below, but the Razr’s 32MP front-facing camera could provide more detail. The Motorola Razr 2022 lacks the Z Flip 4’s new camera feature that lets you use the phone as the camcorder of yesteryear by bending it 90 degrees and holding the bottom in your palm while you record and preview with the top. Something tells us you can do just as well on the Razr by holding it in a similar way, but using the entire screen as a viewfinder instead of just half of it. Galaxy Z Flip 4 video camera function
Motorola Razr 2022 vs Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 Battery life and charging speed
The Galaxy Z Flip 4’s most significant upgrade over the Z Flip 3 is its larger 3700mAh battery, but the Razr 2022 isn’t far behind with a 3500mAh unit. Additionally, Motorola offers faster charging speeds of 33W for the bundle, compared to the Z Flip 4’s 25W charging. Samsung promises “up to 50% charge in around 30 minutes with a 25W adapter”, but you could expect even shorter charging times with the Motorola Moto Razr 2022. Since its battery needs to be powered and the chipset to deliver fewer pixels than on the Z Flip 4, Any battery life benefits of the Samsung phone resulting from the slightly larger battery capacity would be moot.
Motorola Razr 2022 or Galaxy Z Flip 4, which should I buy?
Barring any unforeseen hardware performance challenges, you’d be better off buying Motorola’s clamshell rather than the Z Flip 4. It offers more for the Z Flip 4’s same $999.99 base price. Well, now the Razr 2022 is priced slightly lower than that of the Z Flip 4, but when released globally, it may be adjusted upwards. However, Motorola did a great job of making the fastest foldable phone at launch and packing it with the best set of cameras on such a handset, all at a great price. The 144Hz display is the first of its kind in a modern clamshell, as is the 50MP rear camera. Right now, the best Z Flip 4 deals include a free storage upgrade that will get you the 256GB model for the price of the base one plus an impressive $900 for your used Galaxy Z Flip 3, so during the pre-order period you can you want to go with the Flip 4. For all other intents and purposes, the Moto Razr 2022 seems a slightly better choice than the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4, especially if you can get it cheaper.
