i just ordered my z flip 6, i got the price down from 1200+ to just 500 with tax with the trade in and the student deal that samsung offers. i have never bought a samsung phone without a trade in deal (the z flip 4 i have now only cost me 100, seriously) so i genuinely cannot imagine spending 1000+ on a phone! while the motorola razr looks cool and innovative especially with that front screen, samsung is just overall more trustworthy when it comes to their products. at least i know my device will be supported and updated for the next 7 years which makes the z flip 6 much more comfortable than the razr in my opinion
I'm having trouble deciding. I would like a trade in deal if I got the moto. I'm not too worried about the software. The camera looks good enough and the moto just looks better to me. I also can't imagine paying 1000 for a phone either. Never have and want to say never will. I usually use them until they break but these foldable phones are looking too cool to resist. Also my thinking is it's 2024 the bar has been raised for smart phones so much even if you don't have the latest and greatest it's still probably pretty good just not the best.
more trustworthy? Wait until you have a real issue with your phone, or screen and find out how reliable and trustworthy that brand is. Their after care, customer service and warranty are the main reason i wouldn't buy one of their devices despite how attractive they appear.

Thanks...Great review. Just what I needed...Everything I wanted to know clearly.! I remember very well as a kid that I was fascinated by these "Motorola Startac" flip phones that were always around and then after years also the RAZR flip cellphones. I've been waiting for a Motorola flip smartphone of this generation that suits right for me... the wait is over. I'm getting the flip 50 Ultra. Have a great day!✌🏻
I don't know what is about Razr, but there is something so bold, vibrant, and exciting about it. It's the kind of phone that makes me briefly contemplate trading my iPhone for one. The Z Flip just seems drab by comparison.
23 ultra not that great. Went from that to Nothing Phone 2 which is way more optimised and faster in daily use. S23 U camera is actually quite poor I found and Google search confirmed this for me. Had RAZR 40 ultra. Fantastic phone hence looking at 50 ultra . Great video btw
I have the Razr + 2023 and love it! The new one looks amazing especially with all the upgrades and improvements. Unfortunately since I just got the 2023 only 5 months ago I will have to wait until the 2025 model. Lol
Already ordered the Motorola Razr plus! I have both the razor plus 2023 and the z flip 5. Motorola definitely beats Samsung on the flip! Looking forward to the Razr plus 2024!
I am still thinking about either or. Having a Samsung since the Note 2 came out dont know how I will handle the Moto. Still, I like the Moto better, but seeing comment about updates and stuff has me a bit worried. Will probably wait for the full review on the Flip 6 and will decide then. Cheers for the review, buddy!
I owned motorlas for years, the G Series phones and had like 3 or 4 of them, and I now own a Samsung. And to be honest, I got a Samsung, expecting something magical and it's just not the hype. Granted I have an S20 FE and other than the better camera and faster processing, I hate One UI. I hate that Samsung want me to use their apps. Like Google is doing the apps already. I just have wasted space of apps I don't need, use or want. As for the security updates, you really won't care. This Samsung needs updates and downloads every few weeks or every few months. It's nice in theory but annoying in practice cause I hate having to download and restart. Anyway... I'm moving on to the Sony Xperia 1 VI. It's offering me things I like, despite the high price.
DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM MOTOROLA! My RAZR 2023 broke within three weeks and then was completely done in three months! It is a very COMMON OCCURENCE! Do not give them ur money!
@@GTArajgamingYou are wrong. While the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 has Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip inside, the Razr 50 Ultra has the 8s Gen 3 chip! I still prefer the Razr 50 Ultra over Z Flip 6 because it has a much better design and superior cover display, but the Z Flip 6 has a more powerful chipset.
@@GTArajgaming no it's the snapdragon 8s gen 3. A slight weaker version of the 8 Gen 3. Also if u like gaming the z flip 6 has a much better cooling chamber to keep it from overheating. And better cameras are in the z flip 6. Keep all that in mind.
The razr contract deals in the uk seem really good £29.99 per month with 100gb data. Flip 6 is quite a lot more at £45-50 per momth. Really tempting to pick up the razr, it looks really nice imo
Flip 6 contract deal I got in germany: 300€ once and than 30€ monthly for 2 years with 35 gigs of data. Also Buds 3 pro, watch7 and a flipsuite case included. That was the offer of offers for me.
They got that profit-first mentality and started removing features, charger. Driving up prices. Because they think they'll get away with it. They have a loyal base already and brand identity, so no need to innovate or be customer first.
So do many others. You would think according to the laws of demand and supply we would have these basic features in new phones. Especially the more expensive ones.
Motorola ftw 🎉. I don't want to have to download and screw around with goodlock to make my outside screen more useful. I'm sick of the duplicate apps on Samsung One UI also. I haven't had a Motorola in years but I may just go for one, either this razr plus or the edge plus (edge 50 ultra) when it finally makes its way to the US. I'm ultimately waiting for Pixel to get it's crap together and put a decent chip/modem in the Pixel Pro, maybe 2026...lol. Thanks for an awesome comparison review!! Cheers!
How do channels like MKBHD have more subs than you. He barely puts out a review every month and when he does it's always for some expensive flagship. You deserve all the subs!
Agree, but MKBHD started the game way back since 2013, in the beginning he also did the same kind of video in detail. Now as we know he is the tech king, so he don’t need to put much effort anymore.
Great review! Had two SS Z Flips in past, but jumped to a SS Z Fold 18 months ago. Haven't loved the Fold and missed the flip style phone for a bunch of reasons, so recently I decided to go back to a flip. Love the comfort of an easy carry smaller phone that gets bigger when needed (turns into a lighthouse?). Started looking at reviews when the new Flip 6 arrived last week, and saw that the Razr has made some major progress since I last looked at them in the pre-covid world. By all accounts in the many reviews I saw, the Razr crushed it on the outside screen, which was one of my main complaints about the Z Flips - the outer screen was not functional, and a wasted opportunity. It reminded me that, IMO, I don't love the robotic non creative ways Samsung functions. And I hate all the gimmicks and Samsung baggage. Bixby is a...well, you know...Plus Samsung isn't all that seamless and their upgrades are not seamless. So why not try a Moto? Ok, well I was a wee but nervous about buying a brand that is not part of the "In Crowd", but heck maybe it's good to live in the margins sometimes? Just got my new Razr + today so I reserve the right to review all shenanigans upon further inspection.
awesome video, thanks for the comparison. I ordered the flip 6 because of the awesome trade in deal, but that Motorola is looking hella fancy with that huge outside screen
With trade in on the ZFlip 6 from a 5 were so slow, Moto may be my next phone to try in the US. Battery and function are the most important so it's the first to under 300 for me to upgrade
DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM MOTOROLA! My RAZR 2023 broke within three weeks and then was completely done in three months! It is a very COMMON OCCURENCE! Do not give them ur money! They overheat like hell as soon as you turn them on, and the screen breaks by itself within months!
id go moto because i prefer stock android, it runs everything on the front screen out of the box, i like the leather back as opposed to glass, and its easier to open one handed.
The only downside to the excellent Motorola RAZR 50 is the lack of competitive updates; Samsung have the lead on this. If I had the cash to spaf, I'd go for the Samsung, its eco system is just that little bit more evolved. Great review, loved the comparisons, its a very close race between the two, and of course, the RAZR 50 Ultra is a bit cheaper, and has a larger external screen.
I have to agree. Moto packs a lot of features into their phones but software support is key. Samsung constantly pushes updates all the time. The camera will get significantly better as they refine it.
i’m getting an old school flip phone for privacy while texting & calling those closest to me! i don’t like the fact that iphones + other androids are easy to hack, having people invade your privacy to see who you’re talking to when it’s NONE of their business! this one is super cute, but i feel like it’s a little too advanced.. i need an old school phone! especially for my relationship!
Why would they use a 2 x telephoto? They could have used a 3 X and created 2 X zoom by cropping into the main lens. It would at least create better max zooms
DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM MOTOROLA! My RAZR 2023 broke within three weeks and then was completely done in three months! It is a very COMMON OCCURENCE! Do not give them ur money!!!
It's good to see if other companies release globally like Samsung but fortunate they're not popular like samsung or apple and still other people mocking android unless you're using Samsung or maybe pixel devices.
Preordered my MOTO Razr + and I'm hype! I'm coming from a Samsung A52 5g. Hopefully I dont miss the Samsung apps too much. But judging by your review, the flip 6 is better?
I also ordered the moto razr+ I'm genuinely excited. I compared both in the store and the flip is definitely not a better choice. The hinge is really difficult to open sometimes. The moto seems pretty smooth.
You’re great at comprehension. He said it without saying it. Especially when be iterates that he has not had much time with the Zflip before filming this.
i've heard about the dent in the middle of the samsung flip phone start to be more opaque with use, and i want to know if that happens with the razr as well
I've been waiting for this specific comparison on RUclips, as I already had done the same in my head. And is it only me or Samsung has made these models look more like toys. I mean where's the premium look??? That boxy shape is a big nay for me. Motorola actually puts the Samsung Flip 6 to shame in terms of that outer screen design... If I could afford, I'd have gone for the Motorola only because of it's outer screen real estate and design. Kudos to Motorola engineering 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Be glad you cannot afford!! I saved up for months for my RAZR 2023….but it turned out to be terrible !! DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM MOTOROLA! My RAZR 2023 broke within three weeks and then was completely done in three months! It is a very COMMON OCCURENCE! Do not give them ur money!
I'd say for me the dust and better water protection is a big deal. Especially if you're at places like the beach. Plus Samsung's solid build quality. It's a tough choice. Faster charging vs better IP rating. Bigger front screen vs better glass protection on the Flip. Slightly smaller form factor vs more stylish. Better faster more consistent software supports vs who knows.
@@Beammeupscotty-w5x Samsung flip outer screen is smaller than that of Motorola Razor's. What I mean to say is, Samsung could've done better. I use S23 and would have loved to see the Samsung Flip to be the only crown bearer in terms of screen real estate.
I have painfully missed 2 months but man how these flip phones have evolved it's simply impressive. Instead of a tower you should have tried a valley I very much would love to see what the result would have been. Great review love how the AI made you look like Scott Adkines at the end.👌👍👌
I guess the video was taken with 60 fps and the Samsung has a refresh rate of 60 Hz. That means it's a perfect match in video input and output. The Moto has a variable refresh rate up to 165 Hz, which could cause flickering in the video if it was higher than 60... hard to explain, but I think that's the reason. I'm not an expert though, but surely you won't notice any flickering just by looking at it, guaranteed! :)
I get what you're saying but a lil bit of effort can get your phone with *zero* bloatware or free bloatware. Using ADB command, I removed all the unnecessary apps from my android phones for years. But most people don't wanna hassle with those extra steps after spending tons of money on their shiny high-end cellphone and why would they?
For me... I'd go Moto Razr... Yeah, I know they're pretty much comparible... But... The Moto DOESN'T come with UNNECESSARY, UNINSTALLABLE clone apps of what apps Google do WAY BETTER! 😏👌 😎🇬🇧
I wish DeX would be available as well. However, as time goes on, this feature is in a similar state as iPadOS. There is not any desktop apps to take advantage of it.
Would definitely take the Samsung out of the 2, but won't be changing this year - the 6 doesn't seem a big enough upgrade over my Flip 5. Samsung usually offer really good upgrade deals but this time feels less generous...
@mehshutup3041 i could care less about OS overhauls i had the flip for several gens and the updates kept breaking paid for themes / packs with no refunds. Just as long as its stable and snappy they can take their time with OS swaps.
I also bought the razr 50 ultra & returned it. Because the overall software package on the Samsung phones definitly beats the razr. No AOD on the inner screen, still no google assistant when the phone is closed and some other software issues. Build quality ist fantastic on the razr but thats all. (for me).
Preferred the Razr, but cancelled my order and order the Flip when I found out that there seems to be no support such as cases or proper customer support for the Razr 50 Ultra here in the UK 😭
I kinda like the Samsung cover screen more aesthetically speaking rather than the screen that wraps around the camera bumps on the moto and it kinda gives me cyberpunk vibes with the shape of it
On these kind of prices software and feature are more important than hardware. And on this aspect Samsung is constantly ahead, very ahead. Competitors like Motorola or OnePlus have great hardware sometimes better than Samsung's, but when it comes to software they all fall flat on their face, especially with those 7 years of updates
@@jeffwoodard yes but the second hand market is still extremely important and very big, just look at the custom rom community. Keeping your products value high is a great play, because many consumers only buy second hand, and you want those to buy Samsung too. And those who upgrade every year also get the impression that the product is better taken care of by the brand, and less anxiety on losing updates. These 7 year support phones are kinda killing some need for custom roms (there are other reasons to do it anyway, but I myself stopped doing custom roms recently because of how good OneUI stock is).
Both are good phones but I would choose Samsung Flip 6 and I still keep my original Motorola Razr. Your "lighthouse" drawing made me and I wonder why Btw, what's the name of the game you were playing in the video?
I’m ordered my Koala Grey Razr 50 last night for about $500 at Tmobile no deal. I’m excited. I think it was a typo and it’s almost $500 cheaper than both these phones with almost the same experience!!!
Still the better deal. Comes with flagship TWS, case and the charger. Also has telephoto over ultrawide. Only con is the performance on the moto but flip phones still aren't meant for gaming even though the Flip 6 has a cooling chamber. The moto is the better flip IMO
I got the regular Razr 50 ordered yesterday!!! Tmobile had a deal on it for $500!!! So I will be getting mine in about a week. Upgrade from Galaxy Z Flip 4
The hot pink is such a throwback to the original razr flip back in the day..❤😊
Definitely 🙌🏻
Razer looks so much better. But Motorola seriously needs to provide longer software update.
if only....
They offer 3 years of software updates and 4 years of security updates. 3 years is enough for me since I upgrade my phone every 2-3yrs
I wouldn't mind so much if I could load a GSI or full-fat custom ROM onto it, but from what I hear the GSIs aren't fully compatible (cover screen, etc.) and no ROM devs have developed for Moto devices in some time.

I am still thinking about either or. Having a Samsung since the Note 2 came out dont know how I will handle the Moto. Still, I like the Moto better, but seeing comment about updates and stuff has me a bit worried. Will probably wait for the full review on the Flip 6 and will decide then. Cheers for the review, buddy!
I owned motorlas for years, the G Series phones and had like 3 or 4 of them, and I now own a Samsung. And to be honest, I got a Samsung, expecting something magical and it's just not the hype. Granted I have an S20 FE and other than the better camera and faster processing, I hate One UI. I hate that Samsung want me to use their apps. Like Google is doing the apps already. I just have wasted space of apps I don't need, use or want.
As for the security updates, you really won't care. This Samsung needs updates and downloads every few weeks or every few months. It's nice in theory but annoying in practice cause I hate having to download and restart.
Anyway... I'm moving on to the Sony Xperia 1 VI. It's offering me things I like, despite the high price.
DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM MOTOROLA! My RAZR 2023 broke within three weeks and then was completely done in three months! It is a very COMMON OCCURENCE! Do not give them ur money!
Z flip 6 way better !!! Do not buy razr pure sh-t
Still I love how the zflip look. Software on galaxy Z is still better than every other foldable smartphones
you and Mrmobile already sold me on the RAZR 50 ultra
Just remember it will take forever to get any updates and the chip inside is weaker and worse cameras. Keep that in mind.
@@djarthurlooby idc about the update stuff and the 50 ultra has the same snapdragon chip in it as the Z flip 6
@@GTArajgamingYou are wrong. While the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 has Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip inside, the Razr 50 Ultra has the 8s Gen 3 chip! I still prefer the Razr 50 Ultra over Z Flip 6 because it has a much better design and superior cover display, but the Z Flip 6 has a more powerful chipset.
@@GTArajgaming no it's the snapdragon 8s gen 3. A slight weaker version of the 8 Gen 3. Also if u like gaming the z flip 6 has a much better cooling chamber to keep it from overheating. And better cameras are in the z flip 6. Keep all that in mind.
@@GTArajgaming Samsung all the way, better phone 🤷♂️
Thank god for this video, doubt many other RUclipsrs would do such a good comparison like uncle spurt
The razr contract deals in the uk seem really good £29.99 per month with 100gb data. Flip 6 is quite a lot more at £45-50 per momth. Really tempting to pick up the razr, it looks really nice imo
Flip 6 contract deal I got in germany: 300€ once and than 30€ monthly for 2 years with 35 gigs of data. Also Buds 3 pro, watch7 and a flipsuite case included. That was the offer of offers for me.
Had my razr 50 ultra a few weeks now and love it. Seen what Samsung has to offer and glad I went for the razr ultra
Lool poor Guy...
Z flip 6 way better than motorola🤡💩

I’m going to get a phone soon, and I really want a flip phone, so I’m doing a bit of research… I’m excited!
I miss having a headphone jack, SD card slot, IR blaster and heartrate sensor that the pre-5g Samsung phones had...
They got that profit-first mentality and started removing features, charger. Driving up prices. Because they think they'll get away with it. They have a loyal base already and brand identity, so no need to innovate or be customer first.
Calm down there is more to come, battery, price, repairablity price, green line many more
@@Red_Hydrangeabut they spend all their marketing budget being messy about apple as if they’re any different
Neither worked lol
So do many others. You would think according to the laws of demand and supply we would have these basic features in new phones. Especially the more expensive ones.
Motorola ftw 🎉. I don't want to have to download and screw around with goodlock to make my outside screen more useful. I'm sick of the duplicate apps on Samsung One UI also. I haven't had a Motorola in years but I may just go for one, either this razr plus or the edge plus (edge 50 ultra) when it finally makes its way to the US. I'm ultimately waiting for Pixel to get it's crap together and put a decent chip/modem in the Pixel Pro, maybe 2026...lol. Thanks for an awesome comparison review!! Cheers!
I prefer the Samsung flip also that gloss finish 😍
How do channels like MKBHD have more subs than you. He barely puts out a review every month and when he does it's always for some expensive flagship. You deserve all the subs!
Facts
Thats so true 😢
Agree, but MKBHD started the game way back since 2013, in the beginning he also did the same kind of video in detail. Now as we know he is the tech king, so he don’t need to put much effort anymore.
Because his content is better
@freePalestinian1234 Production is through the roof, but quality has taken quite the fall
Great review! Had two SS Z Flips in past, but jumped to a SS Z Fold 18 months ago. Haven't loved the Fold and missed the flip style phone for a bunch of reasons, so recently I decided to go back to a flip. Love the comfort of an easy carry smaller phone that gets bigger when needed (turns into a lighthouse?). Started looking at reviews when the new Flip 6 arrived last week, and saw that the Razr has made some major progress since I last looked at them in the pre-covid world. By all accounts in the many reviews I saw, the Razr crushed it on the outside screen, which was one of my main complaints about the Z Flips - the outer screen was not functional, and a wasted opportunity. It reminded me that, IMO, I don't love the robotic non creative ways Samsung functions. And I hate all the gimmicks and Samsung baggage. Bixby is a...well, you know...Plus Samsung isn't all that seamless and their upgrades are not seamless. So why not try a Moto? Ok, well I was a wee but nervous about buying a brand that is not part of the "In Crowd", but heck maybe it's good to live in the margins sometimes? Just got my new Razr + today so I reserve the right to review all shenanigans upon further inspection.
How do you feel about your Razr now after a few months? 😊
@@jennyj1348 Still adore it! Best.phone.ever!
I've been using Motorola all my life since the Motorola razr in 2004
I blame you...
awesome video, thanks for the comparison. I ordered the flip 6 because of the awesome trade in deal, but that Motorola is looking hella fancy with that huge outside screen
The samsung one is just better in terms of power and expecting the hinge to last more than 1.5 years.
Your reviews are absolutely so on point and entertaining ❤
With trade in on the ZFlip 6 from a 5 were so slow, Moto may be my next phone to try in the US. Battery and function are the most important so it's the first to under 300 for me to upgrade
That Bixby assistant with we all "love" 👀
suuuuuuuureeeeee we do uncle spurt, we all love Bixby (zfold 2 user here)
Great review - very helpful and informative. Thank you!! Like the Moto - finally something new in phone innovation.
The comparison video so many were waiting, well done! Samsung user, but seriously considering jumping ship to Moto.
DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM MOTOROLA! My RAZR 2023 broke within three weeks and then was completely done in three months! It is a very COMMON OCCURENCE! Do not give them ur money! They overheat like hell as soon as you turn them on, and the screen breaks by itself within months!
Do it. And then do the comparison for yourself.
Incredibly well made video with good comparisons!! Thank you so much. Hoping to get the Motorola for Christmas:)
I prefer the RAZR. Samsung feels lazy making an excellent phone just because they are leading in market share 😢
Samsung wayyyyy better than motorola
I switched from Apple iPhone to the Samsung Z Flip6 and Im Happy 🎉greetings from Switzerland 😊
id go moto because i prefer stock android, it runs everything on the front screen out of the box, i like the leather back as opposed to glass, and its easier to open one handed.
The only downside to the excellent Motorola RAZR 50 is the lack of competitive updates; Samsung have the lead on this. If I had the cash to spaf, I'd go for the Samsung, its eco system is just that little bit more evolved. Great review, loved the comparisons, its a very close race between the two, and of course, the RAZR 50 Ultra is a bit cheaper, and has a larger external screen.
I have to agree. Moto packs a lot of features into their phones but software support is key. Samsung constantly pushes updates all the time. The camera will get significantly better as they refine it.
Flossy and yourself are my favourite Tech reviewers on RUclips. Love the British humour in your videos 😂
Those guys are the funniest tech reviewers in the game
Flossy is awesome !
@@coolgirlHK I agree. Do you have Instagram. I wanna slide in the dms.
i’m getting an old school flip phone for privacy while texting & calling those closest to me! i don’t like the fact that iphones + other androids are easy to hack, having people invade your privacy to see who you’re talking to when it’s NONE of their business! this one is super cute, but i feel like it’s a little too advanced.. i need an old school phone! especially for my relationship!
OMG that "lighthouse"!!!
I just ordered my razr. I can't wait to start playing around with it.
Yes the video I was looking for!🎉
Why would they use a 2 x telephoto? They could have used a 3 X and created 2 X zoom by cropping into the main lens. It would at least create better max zooms
Correct me if I'm mistaken, but doesn't the Flip 6 have 50MP camera, which would automatically allow for 2x lossless zoom?
Absolutely it does. 2x lossless in sensor zoom. No need for optical at that zoom range.
So who has better autonomy? after a week can you already tell?
Great video, sold on the RAZR 50 here.

I appreciate your informative shenanigans.
I'm a Samsung fan but you just cannot beat Motorola when it comes to flip phones... They pioneered them after all
This is what I'm considering
It's good to see if other companies release globally like Samsung but fortunate they're not popular like samsung or apple and still other people mocking android unless you're using Samsung or maybe pixel devices.
Preordered my MOTO Razr + and I'm hype! I'm coming from a Samsung A52 5g. Hopefully I dont miss the Samsung apps too much. But judging by your review, the flip 6 is better?
The video didn't say that, it's a comparison
I also ordered the moto razr+ I'm genuinely excited. I compared both in the store and the flip is definitely not a better choice. The hinge is really difficult to open sometimes. The moto seems pretty smooth.
You’re great at comprehension. He said it without saying it. Especially when be iterates that he has not had much time with the Zflip before filming this.
Isnt the ultra better @ziek3012
i've heard about the dent in the middle of the samsung flip phone start to be more opaque with use, and i want to know if that happens with the razr as well
I've been waiting for this specific comparison on RUclips, as I already had done the same in my head. And is it only me or Samsung has made these models look more like toys. I mean where's the premium look??? That boxy shape is a big nay for me.
Motorola actually puts the Samsung Flip 6 to shame in terms of that outer screen design... If I could afford, I'd have gone for the Motorola only because of it's outer screen real estate and design. Kudos to Motorola engineering 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Be glad you cannot afford!! I saved up for months for my RAZR 2023….but it turned out to be terrible !! DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM MOTOROLA! My RAZR 2023 broke within three weeks and then was completely done in three months! It is a very COMMON OCCURENCE! Do not give them ur money!
I'd say for me the dust and better water protection is a big deal. Especially if you're at places like the beach. Plus Samsung's solid build quality. It's a tough choice. Faster charging vs better IP rating. Bigger front screen vs better glass protection on the Flip. Slightly smaller form factor vs more stylish. Better faster more consistent software supports vs who knows.
@@Beammeupscotty-w5x Samsung flip outer screen is smaller than that of Motorola Razor's.
What I mean to say is, Samsung could've done better. I use S23 and would have loved to see the Samsung Flip to be the only crown bearer in terms of screen real estate.
I have painfully missed 2 months but man how these flip phones have evolved it's simply impressive. Instead of a tower you should have tried a valley I very much would love to see what the result would have been. Great review love how the AI made you look like Scott Adkines at the end.👌👍👌

Salam Zulhijjah...
I'm from Johor, Malaysia...
First...
Allah ackbar BOOM
Around 16:00 the Moto camera seems to make the video flicker a lot compared to the video shot on the Samsung, I wonder what that's about
I guess the video was taken with 60 fps and the Samsung has a refresh rate of 60 Hz. That means it's a perfect match in video input and output. The Moto has a variable refresh rate up to 165 Hz, which could cause flickering in the video if it was higher than 60... hard to explain, but I think that's the reason. I'm not an expert though, but surely you won't notice any flickering just by looking at it, guaranteed! :)
Have to go with the moto on this one, I seriously cant stand the samsung bloatware and interface
I get what you're saying but a lil bit of effort can get your phone with *zero* bloatware or free bloatware. Using ADB command, I removed all the unnecessary apps from my android phones for years. But most people don't wanna hassle with those extra steps after spending tons of money on their shiny high-end cellphone and why would they?
The reason I run videos on my outside screen is to save battery when I'm just listening to the content and don't really need to look at it.
For me... I'd go Moto Razr... Yeah, I know they're pretty much comparible... But... The Moto DOESN'T come with UNNECESSARY, UNINSTALLABLE clone apps of what apps Google do WAY BETTER! 😏👌 😎🇬🇧
So end of the day
Waht is the recommendation?
Not having Dex mode is big for me. That's why I've never swifted to Flip from S series
I wish DeX would be available as well. However, as time goes on, this feature is in a similar state as iPadOS. There is not any desktop apps to take advantage of it.
Would definitely take the Samsung out of the 2, but won't be changing this year - the 6 doesn't seem a big enough upgrade over my Flip 5. Samsung usually offer really good upgrade deals but this time feels less generous...
I tried to give samsung a chance and waited for their presentation to see what theyre bringing to the table.
Anyways I ordered the Razr +.
Me too 😊
See you next year, bought last year's razr and the experience is soooo bad it's like having one of those cheap chinese phone. No update at all
@mehshutup3041 i could care less about OS overhauls i had the flip for several gens and the updates kept breaking paid for themes / packs with no refunds. Just as long as its stable and snappy they can take their time with OS swaps.
I also bought the razr 50 ultra & returned it. Because the overall software package on the Samsung phones definitly beats the razr. No AOD on the inner screen, still no google assistant when the phone is closed and some other software issues. Build quality ist fantastic on the razr but thats all. (for me).
@@mehshutup3041what update do you need that is missing?
So ... what was the verdict then?
All you did was ask what "we" thought. I was kinda hoping a section called "verdict" would have a .... verdict (?)
putting a 60hz in the outer display makes the user experience not so good. You will notice that change in smoothness
lol loving the constant anime wallpaper changes and whatnot. It shows me exactly how I’d have my phone if I had an android
Preferred the Razr, but cancelled my order and order the Flip when I found out that there seems to be no support such as cases or proper customer support for the Razr 50 Ultra here in the UK 😭
I’ve already saved several cases for the new Razor on Amazon in case I decide to get it. They have cases and screen protectors for Razor+\50
I kinda like the Samsung cover screen more aesthetically speaking rather than the screen that wraps around the camera bumps on the moto and it kinda gives me cyberpunk vibes with the shape of it
I love the Akane wallpaper 🔥
What about the difference in support and updates?
On these kind of prices software and feature are more important than hardware. And on this aspect Samsung is constantly ahead, very ahead. Competitors like Motorola or OnePlus have great hardware sometimes better than Samsung's, but when it comes to software they all fall flat on their face, especially with those 7 years of updates
I agree... But 7 years of updates is really only going to matter on the second hand market. Since most folks upgrade every 2-3 years anyway.
@@jeffwoodard yes but the second hand market is still extremely important and very big, just look at the custom rom community. Keeping your products value high is a great play, because many consumers only buy second hand, and you want those to buy Samsung too. And those who upgrade every year also get the impression that the product is better taken care of by the brand, and less anxiety on losing updates. These 7 year support phones are kinda killing some need for custom roms (there are other reasons to do it anyway, but I myself stopped doing custom roms recently because of how good OneUI stock is).
Both are good phones but I would choose Samsung Flip 6 and I still keep my original Motorola Razr. Your "lighthouse" drawing made me and I wonder why Btw, what's the name of the game you were playing in the video?
Razor looks better but has no ultra wide camera on the + and samsung gives more storage at 512
They traded for the zoom (I prefer the wide tho)
Well I prefer the the razor cover screen more, I don't really mind that it doesn't have wide cemera
Moto only has one Storage option and that is 512GB, atleast outside of India
I’m ordered my Koala Grey Razr 50 last night for about $500 at Tmobile no deal. I’m excited. I think it was a typo and it’s almost $500 cheaper than both these phones with almost the same experience!!!
Can you comment om the "desktop modes" dex vs. ready for. Do they run it, do they run it both wired and wireless?
Z Flip6 all the way to go !
Now I want to know where you find the wallpapers?
I'm getting 5hr 40min screen on time from zflip 5 daily so 6hrs on zflip 6 is disappointing. I would have expected atleast 7hrs screen on time
I have the phone I get more than all of that. Literally. Like almost a whole 24 hr day.
