Motorola Razr Fold vs Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus

Our Verdict: The Motorola Razr Fold has the bigger battery of the two, 6000mAh against 4500mAh, which usually means longer between charges, and the Razr Fold has the stronger screen, bigger at 8.1" against 6.6" and sharper at 412 PPI. Storage goes higher on the Razr Fold, up to 512GB against 256GB, and the Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus is the lighter phone at 195g against 243g. The Razr Fold is the one to have if you want what it adds, but the S22+ 5G is the smarter buy if you'd rather keep the money.

Buying outright, the S22+ 5G starts at £225 SIM-free.
