samsung He really impressed us when he presented his Galaxy Z Flip 5. By showing us that they had been able to further refine and perfect a dynasty of folding smartphones that already seemed completely resolved.
The truth is that at this point, with the emergence of devices such as the Pixel Fold and the Oppo Find N2, We can perceive this as a clearly established trend, where flexible screen terminals are an object of higher priority, preference and desire among consumers.
Under such a scenario, it was inevitable to make a comparison between the smartphone of its class that we consider to be the most evolved: the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5and the most recent model of this type of form factor that has captured the attention of everyone in the community: the Motorola Moto Razr+.
This phone was released in some other Asian and European countries under the name of Moto Razr 40 Ultra. But in the case of the American continent, we have made a merely nominal change, since its attractive and necessary technical specifications remain intact.
The predecessor of this phone had an extremely wide range of areas of opportunity. So the leap in improvement feels downright abysmal.
Motorola Moto Razr+ vs. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5: an unexpected duel
Samsung seemed to have things very resolved and firm with the Galaxy Z Flip 5. In our review from the FayerWayer editorial team about this team some vital elements are highlighted.
Such as its external screen, which seems to have listened to the paradigm shift that Oppo imposed to improve the real and everyday functionality of this element.
Let’s compare as the axis of all the technical specifications of both devices:

As we can see, there are elements in which it seems to be almost identical, such as its weight, its connectivity, its RAM memory and the energy capacity of the battery.
However, we find other elements where the big differences are marked that tip the balance to one side or the other according to the individual profile of tastes of each user.
Taking into account that there is only a difference of USD $100 and the variety of factors in common we could conclude that the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 would be the most attractive option for most people.
It has a newer processor, its hinge mechanism is sturdier, the cameras all around are beefier, and the Android skin is pretty polished by now.
