Galaxy Z Flip8 vs Motorola Razr 60: is the cheap foldable good enough?

The short answer

This is the most interesting price gap in New Zealand phones right now, because the Razr 60 costs roughly half what the Z Flip8 does and folds in half just as convincingly. Samsung earns the premium on cameras, on the cover screen, and on a hinge with more generations of engineering behind it — if you are spending flagship money you should get the Flip. But halving the price of entry to a foldable is a serious argument, and for someone who wants the form factor rather than the camera, the Razr 60 is the sane purchase. Understand that both carry a durability question an ordinary slab phone does not: a folding screen has a crease and a moving part, and neither brand will pretend otherwise.

Common questions

Are foldables durable enough for daily use now?

They are far better than the first generation, but a folding screen still has a crease and a hinge that can fail. If you are hard on phones, a conventional handset will outlast either of these.

Why is the Razr so much cheaper?

Mostly cameras and chip. Motorola positions the Razr as the accessible foldable rather than a flagship, and the savings come from components you may or may not care about.
