Galaxy Fold vs. Motorola Razr: Comparison of foldable phone features

Motorola makes a foldable phone that will be released this summer and There are many reasons to be excited about this. The company is rumor to revive his beloved Razr brand that dominated the phone landscape before smartphones were one thing. But the Razr will have to face fierce competition from Galaxy Fold, which will be available on April 26 and Huawei Mate X coming out this summer, but probably not in the United States.

On paper, the Galaxy Fold and the Motorola Razr could not be more different. According to patent illustrations, Motorola seems to be taking a more practical approach than Samsung. Instead of a phone opening on a tablet such as the Galaxy Fold, the Razr folds like a flip phone to provide greater ease of storage. This design is "foldable", that is, it is expected that the Razr has a single screen that folds in the middle.

The Galaxy Fold view opens and closes like a book. The Razr's screen folds vertically in half like … a flip phone. In addition to a larger internal screen that folds in half, both phones must also have a screen on the outside of the device.

Each of these foldable phones costs more than most phones sold today. The Galaxy Fold starts at $ 1,980 for the 4G model (approximate conversion to £ 1,500 or 2,800 AU). Samsung has not announced pricing for the 5G model. The Razr is expected to cost $ 1,500.

Neither one nor the other phone was manipulated by reporters. Despite a Motorola confirmation that they will launch a foldable phone this summer, the Razr has not been officially announced. In contrast, the Galaxy Fold was presented and presented in demonstration at an event organized by Samsung in February. But aside from a marketing video and the phone behind the window, the Fold remains largely a mystery.

Thanks to the passionate site XDA Developers, we have an idea of ​​what will be the specifications of the so-called foldable Razr. If the specs are correct, the Motorola Razr foldable will be more a mid-range phone with a smaller screen, a central processor, a smaller battery and a much smaller starting memory.

Samsung is considering the Galaxy Fold as a luxury device. Of course, the new Razr will have one thing on one side that the Fold does not have: nostalgia. Here's how they compare to the specifications (we know) of the Galaxy Fold.
