Motorola Razr 70 Ultra vs Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8

Our Verdict: Motorola Razr 70 Ultra and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8 suit different priorities. The Motorola is stronger for display quality, helped by a sharper 462 PPI display, its Foldable LTPO AMOLED panel, and a higher-resolution 50MP front camera, while the Samsung is better suited to its Foldable Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X panel and a lighter 180g body. A bigger mAh figure is useful context, but real battery life still depends on software and chipset efficiency. Choose the Motorola for display quality; choose the Samsung if portability matters more.

Over a full contract, the Galaxy Z Flip8 works out around £835 all-in, about £250 less than the Razr 70 Ultra.
