Smartphones today come in three primary form factors - bar, fold, and flip. Bar phones, while functional, often lack excitement. Fold phones, aiming to double as tablets or mini-laptops, can be cumbersome. Flip phones, however, strike a perfect balance, morphing from sleek bar phones into compact devices that effortlessly fit into the smallest pockets or petite bags. They’re versatile, powerful, and surprisingly compact. Let’s compare the latest flip phones from two industry leaders - the Motorola Razr 50 Ultra and the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6.
WHAT’S IN THE BOX?
Motorola impresses right from the start with the Razr 50 Ultra package, which includes the phone, a pair of Motorola Buds+ valued at ₹9,999, and a 68W charger. This thoughtful inclusion of accessories not only adds value but also enhances the overall user experience right out of the box. In contrast, Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip6 package only includes a Type-C cable, emphasising eco-friendliness but falling short in terms of added value for the customer.
DESIGN AND BUILD QUALITY
The Motorola Razr 50 Ultra stands out with its stylish design and robust build quality. It features a redesigned hinge tested for over 600,000 folds, ensuring durability and minimising the chances of creases on the main display. The hinge’s smooth operation and sturdiness are noticeable, giving users confidence in its long-term reliability. Priced at C94,999 for 12GB+512GB variant (or ₹89,999 with bank discounts), it is available in Spring Green, Midnight Blue, and Peach Fuzz, boasting a 6000 series aluminium frame and a vegan leather back. The combination of materials not only looks premium but also feels great in hand, providing both aesthetic appeal and practicality. Additionally, its IPX8 water resistance rating further enhances its durability, making it capable of withstanding accidental splashes and brief submersion in water.
