Motorola Razr 60 vs Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra

Our Verdict: The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra has a far higher-resolution main camera, 200MP against the Motorola Razr 60's 50MP, and the S23 Ultra 5G has the bigger battery of the two, 5000mAh against 4500mAh, which should mean longer between charges in day-to-day use. The S23 Ultra 5G goes up to 512GB of storage, where the Razr 60 tops out at 256GB, and the S23 Ultra 5G has the sharper display at 500 PPI to 413.
