Here's how the Galaxy Z Flip 5 compares to the Motorola Razr+

The new Galaxy Z Flip 5 just launched, and it is already making people around the world talk. Whether it is about its features or its new hinge, people are talking about this device. A good number of these people are also considering buying this device once available.

Samsung did get some areas of this device quite right, one such area is the cover display. Truthfully, there are a few upgrades on this new clamshell folding device from Samsung in comparison with its predecessor. Aside from the new cover display which will attract buyers, Samsung also added a more powerful processor (Snapdragon 8 Gen 2).

This article won’t delve into details of this new device, as its coming review will give you all the information you’d need. In this article, you’d see how the new Z Flip device’s external display compares with another clamshell folding device that has a similar cover display. The device in question is none other than the Motorola Razr+ and you can learn more about it by clicking on this link.

Comparing the external display of the new Galaxy Z Flip 5 with that of the Motorola Razr+

Both the new Galaxy Z Flip 5 and the Motorola Razr+ take the external displays to a different level. The Galaxy Z Flip 4 launched with a 1.9-inch external display, and the successor to the Razr+ has a 2.7-inch external display. However, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Razr+ come with 3.4 and 3.6-inch cover displays, respectively.

These are massive upgrades from their previous models, especially for Samsung’s clamshell foldable device. In the clamshell folding market, these devices come with the biggest cover display a buyer could ask for. However, the Razr+ takes the crown as the clamshell folding device with the largest screen.

The large cover displays are not just on these devices as mere decoration. They are very functional, helping users access notifications and apps while the device is folded. With this screen, users can also treat the rear cameras as a selfie camera and take crisp pictures without flipping the device open.

However, when it comes to accessing apps from the cover display, the Razr+ takes the crown once again. This device offers users access to nearly all their apps directly from the cover display. Samsung, on its part, offers access to a good amount of apps, but not all apps users might need at this time.

Having the larger 3.6-inch screen also gives the Razr+ the upper hand in this comparison. While the difference in screen size might be negligible, it still makes a difference. The external screen on the Razr+ reaches the edges of the rear panel, giving users more estate to benefit from the full-screen mode.

Having the camera on the external screen from the Razr+ might be a drawback for some potential buyers. For the Galaxy Flip 5, its uneven external display might be off-putting for other users as well. Overall, the external display on the Motorola Razr+ seems to be the better pick when it comes to practicality.
