Motorola Razr Fold vs Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8

Our Verdict: Motorola Razr Fold and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8 suit different priorities. The Motorola is stronger for display quality, helped by a larger 8.1-inch screen, 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 £798 all-in, about £761 less than the Razr Fold.
