The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 starts at £999 in the UK and €999.99 in the US. In Europe, it starts at €1099. It’s available to buy now, having hit shelves on 12 August 2025.

Z Flip 4 vs Moto Razr design

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 has a lovely, premium design with anIPX8 water and dust resistance, along with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protection and an Armour frame. There are four standard colours, but the Z Flip 4 also comes in a Bespoke Edition model that offers 75 customisation options.

On the outside of the device, there is a dual camera with a screen next to it, neatly consuming around a third of the rear. The rest of the rear is plain. When unfolded, the main display features super slim bezels and apunch hole cameracentralised at the top. A physical fingerprint sensor sits within the power button at the edge.

The Motorola Razr (2022) meanwhile has a water-repellent coating rather than an official IP rating. It also offers Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection and it comes in one colour: Quartz Black.

There’s a dual camera on the outside of the device, but the screen sits separately - and is larger than the Z Flip 4. There is also a Motorola logo and a Razr logo, meaning the exterior design is a little fussier than the Z Flip 4. On the inside, there’s a main display with a punch-hole camera centralised at the top, like the Z Flip 4, and it too offers a fingerprint sensor built into the power button.

Both the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 and the Motorola Razr (2022) fold horizontally, offering a super compact and pocketable device when folded and opening out to a normal size phone when unfolded.

Z Flip 4 vs Moto Razr display

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 has a 6.7-inch main display that offers a Full HD+ resolution and a variable refresh rate between 1Hz and 120Hz. It’s a Dynamic AMOLED display and it offersHDR10+ support.

On the exterior, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 has a 1.9-inch Super AMOLED display with a 512 x 260 pixel resolution. It’s an Always On Display and it offers themes from the inside of the device, with more options than the previous Z Flip 3.

The Motorola Razr (2022) has a 6.7-inch main display too, but with a different aspect ratio, meaning more surface area, and it also has a Full HD+ resolution. It has a refresh rate of 144Hz, and although it is adaptive, it’s not to the same degree as the Samsung’s display. It does offer HDR10+ support though.

The secondary display is a 2.7-inch OLED screen with a 800 x 573 pixel resolution, and can be used to display apps, notifications and a camera preview, making it a bit more useful than the Samsung display.

Z Flip 4 vs Moto Razr hardware and specs

Both the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 and the Motorola Razr (2022) run on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset. They also both come in storage options of 128GB, 256GB and 512GB. Although, in the UK, only the 256GB version of the Razr will be available.

The Motorola Razr (2022) comes in RAM options of 8GB and 12GB though, while the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 is only offered with 8GB of RAM. In the UK, again, only 8GB will be offered.

Battery capacities are different too with the Motorola Razr (2022) offering a 3500mAh cell, while the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 has a 3700mAh battery under its hood. The Razr supports 30W fast charging though, while the Z Flip 4 tops out at 25W.

Z Flip 4 vs Moto Razr cameras

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 features a dual rear camera, as we mentioned. This is made up of a 12-megapixel main sensor with an f/1.8 aperture and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide sensor with an f/2.2 aperture.

On the front, the Z Flip 4 has a 10-megapixel sensor.

The Motorola Razr (2022) meanwhile, has a 50-megapixel main sensor with f/1.9 aperture and a 13-megapixel ultra-wide sensor with f/2.2 aperture.

The front sensor on the Razr (2022) is a 32-megapixel sensor with f/2.5 aperture.

Conclusion

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Motorola Razr (2022) run the same hardware, though their designs differ, with the Samsung offering more customisation options, as well as a slightly more seamless and clean design, plus a larger battery.

The Motorola Razr (2022) has faster charging, higher resolution main and front cameras - not that this always means better - and larger internal and external displays.

Which one you buy might just come down to availability, with the Z Flip available from a number of different partners and carriers, where Moto availability is a little more limited.
