Motorola Razr Fold vs Samsung Galaxy S22

Our Verdict: With Samsung Galaxy S22 versus Motorola Razr Fold, the stronger argument is display quality. The Motorola has the useful edge there with a larger 8.1-inch screen, its Foldable LTPO AMOLED panel, and a higher-resolution 50MP front camera. The Samsung still has a role if you prefer its Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel and a lighter 167g body. A bigger mAh figure is useful context, but real battery life still depends on software and chipset efficiency. The Motorola is the stronger choice for display quality, with the Samsung better suited to portability.

Over a full contract, the S22 5G works out around £437 all-in, about £1118 less than the Razr Fold.
