Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 Vs. Motorola Razr Plus 2023: Which Is Best? – SlashGear

There is little to differentiate between the two phones’ designs as both phones offer glass backs reinforced by aluminum frames. The only subtle difference is in the form of the Razr Plus’ curved rear edges compared to the Galaxy Z Flip 5’s completely flat back. Samsung claims higher resistance to drops and scratches with Gorilla Glass Victus 2 compared to the Razr Plus’ first-gen Victus.

With a frosted glass finish, Samsung offers four color options for the Galaxy Z Flip 5, including Cream, Graphite, Lavender, and Mint. You can also choose among four more matted shaded shades: blue, gray, green, and yellow, which are only sold on official channels, but you no longer get the bespoke color options previously available for the Galaxy Z Flip phones. Motorola has fewer options, including Infinite Black, Glacier Blue, and Viva Magenta. The magenta variant comes with a vegan leather back, while the other two use glass for packaging.

When folded, both phones stay shut completely gapless, which reduces the chances of dust, sand, or lint getting stuck inside the folded screen, although neither claims extensive resistance against dust. The Galaxy Z Flip 5 receives a high resistance to water with an IPX8 rating, which means it can withstand being under five feet underwater for up to 30 minutes. The Razr Plus gets an IP52 rating, suggesting a limited resistance to dust ingress and protection against direct sprays of water. Dipping the phone underwater, even for seconds, will not be a good idea.
