I replaced my slab phone with Motorola's $1,900 Razr Fold - and it's got me hooked

"The Motorola Razr Fold sits slightly larger than the Galaxy Z Fold 7, sporting a 6.6-inch outer display and an 8.1-inch inner display. By comparison, Samsung's model has a 6.5-inch outer screen and an 8-inch inner screen. The extra size does mean the Razr Fold is heavier at 243g, but it has little effect on the user experience. It is still an ultra-sleek phone, especially compared to foldables from previous years."

"Visually, the dual displays are top-notch. Motorola packed these AMOLED screens with a slew of visual-enhancing features. Just to highlight a few, both screens support the full DCI-P3 gamut for vibrant colors, are Pantone Validated for excellent color accuracy, boast high resolutions, and have high refresh rates, ensuring smooth animations."

"Brightness levels are noteworthy, too. Motorola rates the inner display at 6,200 nits, which cuts through outdoor glare. I never struggled to see the screen, even under direct sunlight. Also: I'm putting Motorola above Samsung when it comes to flip phones - and won't think twice I spent a lot of time watching YouTube videos and streaming shows on the inner display."

"Also: Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 vs. Motorola Razr Ultra: I've used both, and this phone is my pick This is a seriously good mobile device. I say it's better than Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7 on several fronts. Its battery is larger, leading to better longevity, the inner screen has a higher resolution, and the camera system is arguably superior."

Extensive use for streaming and video viewing supports the impression of strong day-to-day performance, alongside a larger battery and an arguably better camera system than Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7.
