Which Foldable Phone Came Out On Top in the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 vs Moto Razr 40 Ultra Challenge?
Samsung and Motorola are competing in the foldable product segment with their new products. Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Moto Razr 40 Ultra are premium models available to consumers in different markets. However, with a foldable device, it has become critical that it lives up to its billing, not only in terms of price tag and features, but most importantly, how long the fold lasts.
The companies also claim that these foldables have a solid base that allows them to handle x folds, and the numbers mostly exceed 200,000. So when YouTubers decide to have fun and let actual use do the talking, you’ll see just how durable these foldables really are.
These testers put themselves through the rigorous test of opening and closing the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Moto Razr Ultra 40 to see if the hinge mechanism used works as advertised. They’re testing this process over 24 hours a day, called the Great Folding Test Volume II, in a battle between new foldable devices. According to the rules of the test, the screen must turn on before the device is folded again. The testing equipment will be changed after a few hours for the break.
Folding test – who wins?
After several rounds of flips, Samsung seems to be better than Motorola, with the Galaxy Z Flip 5 managing to flip over 3,15,000 times, while the Moto Razr 40 Ultra struggles with a flip count of 126,367, which isn’t even half. what Samsung has managed to achieve.
The South Korean brand claims the Z Flip 5 can handle 200,000 fold cycles, so these tests show it can handle a lot more folds. However, Samsung’s win didn’t come without hiccups, as testers noticed some sort of issue with the hinge at 2,23,000 turns.
The fact that Samsung has a better mechanism is good news, but it’s the least you can expect when the product is priced at Rs 60,000 more than what the Moto Razr 40 Ultra costs in a market like India. Either way, we expect the foldable challenge to intensify in the coming years, which should be exciting for consumers.
