Samsung’s second generation folding smartphone “ Galaxy Z Flip ” expected to be announced soon and the company’s first folding smartphone “ Motorola Razr ” recently announced by Motorola are both vertically folding style like a traditional mobile phone is. Android Police is comparing these two models, so let’s take a look.
Comparison of two folding smartphones
Release (announcement) time and price
Although the Galaxy Z Flip has already leaked rendered images and videos, it has not been officially announced yet, and it will be shown at the same time as the Galaxy S20 at a new product launch event to be held in San Francisco on February 11 local time It is expected to be.
The price is said to be $ 860 or $ 1,550, which is unknown at this time.
Motorola Razr, meanwhile, is available for preorder in the United States on January 26, local time, and will go on sale on February 6. The price is $ 1,500.
design
Both Galaxy Z Flip and Razr are flip type. In particular, Razr has an “ago”, reminiscent of the original Razr that was predominant in the world. This jaw contains a fingerprint reader and speaker, and the lower part of the jaw contains a USB-C port. The thickest jaw part is 14 mm, and the other parts when expanded are 6.9 mm thick.
On the other hand, the Z Flip uses a full screen, and the thickness when unfolded is uniform at 6.9 mm everywhere. However, when folded, the hinge part is several millimeters thicker than others. According to the video, it is assumed that the fingerprint scanner is mounted on the power button on the side like the previous generation Galaxy Fold.
Hinge
The Motorola Razr employs a unique hinge that supports the display with two plates, so that wrinkles and folds, which were issues with the original folding smartphone, were not devised.
We can’t tell from the leaked videos and images alone about Z Flip, but Samsung may have taken some solution.
display
Razr’s main display is a 6.2-inch plastic organic EL (P-OLED) with an aspect ratio of 21: 9, measuring 2,142 x 876 pixels. The Z Flip, on the other hand, is rumored to be a 22: 9 6.7-inch active matrix organic EL (AMOLED), 2,636 x 1,080 pixels. Also, instead of plastic, ultra-thin glass will be adopted.
In addition, both models have a sub-display used when closed. The sub display of the Z Flip is very small at 1 inch, while that of Razr is 2.7 inches.
camera
The main camera of Razr has 16 million pixels and can be used as a selfie camera when folded. The camera stored in the notch of the display is 5 million pixels.
Z Flip is expected to have two 12-megapixel cameras on the back and one 10-megapixel camera on the front (pinhole type).
Other specifications
Razr has a Snapdragon 710 processor, 6GB RAM, 128GB storage and a battery capacity of 2,510mAh.
