Samsung's new foldable smartphone, the Galaxy Z Flip, avoids many of the Motorola Razr's mistakes and outperforms the latter in almost every respect, 163.com reported on Sunday.
On February 11, Samsung released the new Galaxy S20 and Z Flip. Although the Galaxy S20 Ultra looks great, it can't be called shocking. After all, Samsung has been producing excellent Galaxy S phones for more than a decade.
It is obviously very good at hardware production. However, Samsung's last foldable phone was a bit bad and disappointing, the report said.
The biggest surprise at the conference was the quality of the Galaxy Z Flip. Samsung seems to have done a variety of things to make up for the lack of foldable phones.
The screen of this new phone is made of glass, the workmanship looks quite good, and the overall configuration has not hindered.
It's a good thing that Samsung has done so well, because if Motorola carried the banner of foldable phones, then consumers' lives would definitely not be so good.
Some reporters brought Motorola's Razr flip phone to Samsung's press conference and compared it directly with the Z flip. From a comparison point of view, Motorola Razr is not an opponent of Z flip at all.
Of course, this is just a comparison from the hands-on experience. But when you look at the two phones together, you will find that the difference in quality is very obvious.
Every mistake Z Rlip made by Razr can be avoided, knowing that these mistakes are endless, the report said.
Samsung's foldable phone doesn't make a creaking sound, and may have a better camera, larger battery, and faster processor; it also uses a glass screen and supports wireless charging.
Razr does have some characteristics that Z Flip does not have: the iconic brand and appearance, which can be completely flat-folded, and the first to market (though its release is not so hot). Either way, it is easier to open Razr with one hand.
Regarding these two phones, further evaluation and further discussion are needed, but the main conclusion is unlikely to change: Samsung is very good at manufacturing mobile phones. After experiencing the Galaxy Fold Waterloo last year, it has to prove its strength again. And Z Flip is probably a powerful example of it.
