In this day and age, finding a new smartphone that has the necessary requirements for the user and a sleek design is somehow simultaneously an easy task and a tough decision. There is a sea of mobile devices out there, each providing its own features with prices varying from low to sky-high. Samsung Note S20 Ultra is quite the device for anyone looking for something more in their mobile phone but in the last year, folding phones have made quite the comeback too. Let’s have a look at this list of four fantastic devices, their features and pros and cons, and it just might happen that your search for a new smartphone ends right here.
Samsung Z Flip vs. Samsung Fold 2 vs. Motorola Razr vs. Samsung Note S20 Ultra: Which One is Best?
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip
Samsung Z Flip is a fairly unique device with the technology of smartphone folding and a big display that nicely fits any pocket. It has an elongated and narrow screen with a conveniently distributed space, which makes it very easy to operate with one hand but due to its narrow keyboard, it does take a little getting used to. The hinge that allows the phone to fold was improved but the screen is not entirely smooth; this does not affect the resolution or performance, it is just something you have to grow accustomed to. Its external display works great for answering or declining incoming calls, toggling your playlist, and checking for new notifications. And for quick unlocking, you can simply swipe your fingerprint on the side of the device.
Without excessive use, the battery on this Samsung can last for an entire day, it charges fast with the USB-C port, and also supports wireless charging.
The camera on Z Flip is rather impressive; the photos, including selfies, are as great as in any high-end Samsung phone, and the night mode, taking a couple of seconds,can take very sharp photos due to its hands-free camera mode.
Overall, the Z Flip leaves a great first impression; from its gorgeous and handy design to impressive software.
Pros:
- Nicely executed folding display with an improved hinge
- Improved anti-dust protection
- Wireless charging
- Brilliant design and finish
- Top-level camera experience
- Galaxy Concierge Premier customer use
- Eye-care screen display
- Dual SIM
Cons:
- Expensive
- Very delicate, needs some extra taking care of
- Smudge-susceptible exterior
- The internal storage may change depending on the pre-installed software
- The outside screen could be a little larger
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 is quite the improvement of the previous flip model. The front display is narrow but quite large and you can do a lot without having to use the insidedisplay. Unfolded, it looks like a mini android tablet (7.6-inch) and even though it may seem a little big for easy pocketing, the phone-tablet hybrid is easy-to-carry and can go almost anywhere. The internal screen is pretty impressive; not only it is large enough to fully enjoy your gaming and movie-watching experience, but it is also incredibly smooth – smooth enough to almost distract you from the fact that there is still a faint crease running down the middle of the screen.
The reshaped hinge of the Z Fold 2 can prop open the device in any position; the screen is coupled with Flex Mode, which automatically reshuffles the user interface of certain apps. Flex Mode is currently limited to only a few apps, but it feels incredibly clean compared to one-screen smartphones, in which multiple elements would appear overlaid; especially noticeable in the camera app.
This Samsung model has five great cameras, including three on the back, with2x optical and 10x optical zoom, so if you are looking for a phone with better camera capabilities, Galaxy Note S20 Ultra might be a better fit.
The battery life depends on how much you use the internal screen, and how often 120Hz mode is enabled. The device is also equipped with the Super Fast Charging tech and supports fast wireless charging.
When it comes to flip phones, the Z Fold 2 is a great step forward, providing solid improvements, great performance, and a stunning, user-friendly experience.
Pros:
- Supports 5G
- Large external screen
- Excellent camera system with unique selfie capabilities
- More functional, sturdier hinge
- Provides better multitasking
- Flex Mode increases versatility
- The tablet-size internal screen delivers a fantastic video-watching and gaming experience
- Fast and solid performance
- Durable design
- Fast wireless charging
- Solid battery life
Cons:
- Expensive
- Not waterproof
- Smudge-prone main screen
- Cameras are a step down compared to the Note S20 Ultra
- Speaker placement is a little awkward
- No microSD slot
Motorola Razr
Motorola has done a fantastic job preserving the classic look and feel of Razr. When closed, it a nicely curved, elegant device, and when you open it up, it has a fine, thin feel even though it is actually thicker than it seems. A couple of subtle changes made the hinge system a little sturdier and they addedmore springiness to the flip; with some practice, flipping it open with one hand is possible. Like with most flip phones, the camera bump is far from invisible, and the screen is not what you might call pretty; the clarity and colors are rather average.
The battery is not the strongest one out there, but if you get used to a lighter use, like using more of the exterior screen, it can last throughout an entire day.
The front display of Motorola Razr is quite large and has a few useful features: in a locked-down mode you can long-press icons to look at previews, unlock the phone when it is closed, gaining access to notifications, app launcher, camera viewfinder, and more.
There are two cameras on the new Razr: on the inside you can find a selfie camera but it offers far from top-notch capabilities. Luckily for you, taking selfies with the outer camera is very easy. The photos are more than good enough, if you are not looking to take professional shots.
Motorola Razo is a sleek little device that is a great fit for anyone who does not live with the phone glued to their hand.
Pros:
- Included one-year warranty
- Supports 5G
- Pocketable size
- Excellent design and tough exterior
- Very efficient loudspeaker
- Handy Quick Display view
- The fingerprint scanner on the display for instant unlocking
- No crease in the middle when opened
- 15W fast charging available
- Water-repellent coating
Cons:
- Very expensive
- Not great selfie camera capabilities
- Not the best processor
- Not the best wireless performance
- The battery life is rather short
- No microSD slot
Samsung Note S20 Ultra
If you are in the market for the ultimate do-everything smartphone, Samsung Note S20 Ultra is the device you should definitely look into. Much like other Note phones, the Note S20 Ultra is purposed for Android ‘’power users’’ who want a device with all the toys and features, and are not spooked by a high price tag.
The Note S20 Ultra has a refined, sleek design and a clear and sharp 6.9-inch screen with a dynamic 120Hz refresh rate, which moves smoothly under your finger. Using the Note’s pen feels completely natural and it is easy to forget that you are actually writing on a screen.
Where this Samsung gadget truly stands out from the crowd, is its camera capabilities. The 5x optical zoom is amazingly sharp and produces exceptional shots. For the scenes, which seem to be too far to capture, use the 50x zoom; the results will leave you impressed.
And if you are afraid that the battery will leave you stranded, your mind can be at ease; the battery will last all day, unless you are constantly connected to the 5G, in which case your battery will diminish faster.
Pros:
- Exceptional screen and dynamic 120Hz display
- Incredibly fast performance
- Solid gaming experience
- Supports 5G
- Impressive Space Zoom camera
- Link to Windows and Wireless DeX mode work well
- S Pen offers great opportunities for using the device
- Extendable storage
- Long-lasting battery
Cons:
- Expensive
- The camera bulge is rather large, almost inviting breakage
- The curved display can lead to accidental screen taps when holding the phone
- Very large, not that easily portable
- No headphone port
Conclusion
Here you have four great devices, including three flip phones and one power user phone, each providing some amazing features, and fine design. The one thing they all have in common is the high price, so it is up to you to decide which device offers the best package for the cost; the all-in-one sleek Samsung Note S20 Ultra or maybe one of the foldable phones, which are extremely portable but do not provide quite the excellent camera capabilities?
