Summary
$1,200 gets Samsung’s new Galaxy Z Flip 8 with 256GB, undercutting Motorola’s $1,500 Razr Ultra 2026, which comes only in a 512GB configuration.
Motorola justifies the premium with stronger hardware on paper: 165Hz refresh rates on both displays, a 5,000-mAh battery, 68-watt wired charging and 16GB of RAM.
Samsung’s Flip 8 stays slimmer and lighter at 180 grams, with a 4.1-inch cover screen and 6.9-inch main display, but keeps largely unchanged cameras and a 4,300-mAh battery.
The comparison underscores a tighter flip-phone race as Motorola pushes higher-end specs while Samsung leans on a lower entry price and its foldables lead.
