Motorola Razr 70 Ultra vs Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5
Our Verdict: The Motorola Razr 70 Ultra has the bigger battery of the two, 5000mAh against 4400mAh, which should mean longer between charges in day-to-day use, and the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 has the bigger screen at 7.6" against 7", while the Razr 70 Ultra has the sharper one at 462 PPI. The Razr 70 Ultra is the lighter phone at 199g against 275g, and only the Razr 70 Ultra has a water-resistance rating (IP48); the Galaxy Z Fold5 5G has none. Only pay up for the Razr 70 Ultra if you'll use what it offers; if not, the Galaxy Z Fold5 5G makes more sense.
The Galaxy Z Fold5 5G is the cheaper one to own: around £845 over a typical contract, £236 less than the Razr 70 Ultra.
