We’ve already compared Samsung’s latest flip phone with the Motorola Razr+ 2024. We’re here to compare it with yet another foldable from Motorola, the non-Plus model. In other words, we’ll be comparing the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 vs Motorola Razr 2024. Both of these smartphones arrived in the last couple of months. The Motorola Razr 2024 is basically a more affordable variant of the Motorola Razr+ 2024.
They do have their similarities, but there are quite a few differences here too. We’ll first list their specifications, and will then move to compare the two phones across a number of categories. We’ll compare their designs, displays, performance, battery life, cameras, and audio output. Do note that the Motorola Razr 2024 is known as the Motorola Razr 50 outside of the US.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 vs Motorola Razr 2024: Design
Samsung’s foldable is made out of metal and glass. Motorola also used aluminum for the frame of the Rarz 2024, however, the backplates are different. Depending on the model (color), they do differ a bit, but for most variants silicone polymer is used. The Motorola Razr 2024 ends up being gripper because of that, noticeably grippier. Both smartphones do offer water resistance. The Galaxy Z Flip 6 comes with IP48 certification, while the Motorola Razr 2024 offers an IPX8 certification.
The Motorola Razr 2024 is taller, wider, and slightly thicker than the Galaxy Z Flip 6. That device does have larger displays, both of them, which is the main reason for this difference. Weight, on the other hand, is almost identical. Motorola’s handset is only 1.4 grams heavier, which is not something you’ll notice. Both smartphones have a centered display camera hole on their main displays. The bezels are also quite thin around both main panels.
Each phone has a rather large cover display, but the one on the Motorola Razr 2024 is slightly bigger. Its rear cameras and flash sit inside that display, in the top-left corner. The ones on the Galaxy Z Flip 6 are outside of the cover display, even though they have the same placement. That’s what causes the so-called ‘folder display’ on the Galaxy Z Flip 6. Both smartphones are very comfortable to use, and both do feel like quality products. The hinges are good too.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 vs Motorola Razr 2024: Display
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 features a 6.7-inch fullHD+ (2640 x 1080) Foldable Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X display. That panel has a refresh rate of up to 120Hz, and it supports HDR10+ content. It can go up to 2,600 nits of peak brightness. The screen-to-body ratio is at around 85%. The cover display measures 3.4 inches, and it’s a Super AMOLED panel. It has a resolution of 720 x 748, and a peak brightness of 1,600 nits. The Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protects this display.
The Motorola Razr 2024 has a main display that measures 6.9 inches. That is a Foldable LTPO AMOLED display that can project up to 1 billion colors. It has a refresh rate of up to 120Hz, and HDR10+ content is supported. The peak brightness is at around 3,000 nits. The screen-to-body ratio is around 85% here. The resolution is also fullHD+ (2640 x 1080) as on the Galaxy Z Flip 6’s main panel. The cover display measures 3.6 inches, and it has a resolution of 1056 x 1066. That panel is protected by the Gorilla Glass Victus. It can display up to 1 billion colors, and it has a 90Hz refresh rate. HDR10+ content is supported, and the peak brightness is 1,700 nits.
Now, all four of these displays are quite good. They’re all vivid, have good viewing angles, and are more than sharp enough. The blacks are also as inky as you’d expect them to be. The cover display on the Motorola Razr 2024 does have the advantage of having a high refresh rate, though, as the Galaxy Z Flip 6’s is stuck at 60Hz. The main display also does get slightly brighter, but they’re quite close in general use. All four displays are quite responsive. The crease on the Motorola Razr 2024 is a bit less noticeable, by the way, when it comes to the main displays.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 vs Motorola Razr 2024: Performance
Samsung’s new flip phone is fueled by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy processor. That is Qualcomm’s most powerful chip thus far, an overclocked variant of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. The MediaTek Dimensity 7300X fuels the Motorola Razr 2024. That is also a 4nm chip, like the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, but a mid-range chip. In regards to the processor, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 is definitely a more powerful smartphone.
The same can be said for RAM and storage, though. The Galaxy Z Flip 6 is equipped with 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 flash storage. The Motorola Razr 2024 comes with 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 2.2 flash storage. Are these differences noticeable during use? Well, yes, kind of. The Galaxy Z Flip 6 is snappier when it comes to opening apps, and when it comes to multitasking too, at times. Don’t get me wrong, the Motorola Razr 2024 does offer fluid performance, but the differences are noticeable.
Where you’ll notice the biggest difference, however, is in the gaming department. If you tend to play graphically-demanding games, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 is the better choice. The phone can handle basically any game you throw at it with ease. It will offer better performance with titles such as Genshin Impact, that’s for sure, a smoother performance. The Motorola Razr 2024 does do a good job with almost every game, though.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 vs Motorola Razr 2024: Battery
A 4,000mAh battery sits inside the Galaxy Z Flip 6. The Motorola Razr 2024, on the other hand, has a 4,200mAh battery on the inside. In regards to battery longevity, they’re not that dissimilar, but we’ve seen better results on the Galaxy Z Flip 6. The Motorola Razr 2024 does have a larger battery pack but do remember that it also has larger displays too. Its cover display also has a higher refresh rate.
Getting over 7 hours of screen-on-time is possible on both phones, but there are a lot of variables included here. It all depends on your usage. In other words, it depends on how much you use the main panel, if you’re playing games, your screen brightness, signal strength, and so on. We found that the battery life is more than sufficient on both phones, which is a good thing, as charging is not exactly blazing fast.
Speaking of which, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 supports 25W wired, 15W wireless, and 4.5W reverse wireless charging. The Motorola Razr 2024 supports 30W wired and 15W wireless charging. Another thing to note is that neither of these two phones comes with a charger in the box. You’ll have to grab one separately, if you don’t already own it, of course.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 vs Motorola Razr 2024: Cameras
The Galaxy Z Flip 6 has a 50-megapixel main camera and a 12-megapixel ultrawide camera (123-degree FoV) on the back. The Motorola Razr 2024, on the flip side, has a 50-megapixel main camera and a 13-megapixel ultrawide unit (120-degree FoV). In our experience, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 was the more reliable phone when it comes to photography, and that goes for both of its rear cameras.
The images from the Galaxy Z Flip 6 do look a bit richer. The phone does have a tendency to oversaturate at times, but for the most part, the images look really good. The images from the Motorola Razr 2024 do look good, but not as rich. Ultrawide shots are more similar, though the Galaxy Z Flip 6 uses a more saturated look in this case too.
What about low light? Well, both do a good job, but the Galaxy Z Flip 6 does manage to capture more detail, at least from what we’ve seen. The images also do seem to be a bit more balanced. The Motorola Razr 2024 shots tend to have more noise in such conditions, plus the colors are not as great as they should be. We definitely preferred the Galaxy Z Flip 6 as far as camera performance goes.
Audio
Both of these smartphones have a set of stereo speakers on them. Both sets are good, but the Galaxy Z Flip 6’s seemed a bit louder to us. The audio output was also a bit better, but the difference is not that big.
Neither phone includes an audio jack, unfortunately. You can always hook up your wired headphones via the Type-C port on both devices, though. If you prefer wireless audio, do note that the Galaxy Z Flip 6 supports Bluetooth 5.3, while the Motorola Razr 2024 offers Bluetooth 5.4 support.
