Detailed Comparison

Cameras

iPhone 15 Plus

Same camera hardware as the iPhone 15: 48MP main with 2x lossless sensor crop + 12MP ultrawide + 12MP TrueDepth selfie. No real telephoto. Excellent for casual photography.

48MP main (f/1.6) + 12MP ultrawide (f/2.4) + 12MP TrueDepth selfie — identical to the iPhone 15.
2x lossless zoom via 48MP sensor crop (12MP output) — best telephoto substitute on a non-Pro iPhone but no real optical telephoto.
Excellent daylight photos with Apple's signature natural color processing — perfect for everyday social media use.
Front-facing 12MP TrueDepth selfie is 'one of the best for TikTok selfie rants' (WIRED).

Motorola Razr Fold

What Reviewers Agree On

Best battery life of any notebook-style foldable — roughly 14h31m (16h10m optimized), far ahead of the Galaxy Z Fold 7's ~10h44m
DxOMark's #1 foldable camera (≈164 points, ~8th overall), with a triple 50MP system Motorola made a genuine strength
Standout software — multitasking, laptop mode and a Pixel-meets-Samsung balance reviewers repeatedly praise
Excellent, very bright displays — an 8.1-inch ~6,200-nit inner panel and a 165Hz ~6,000-nit outer screen
Active stylus support (Moto Pen Ultra) that works even on the cover screen, a Z Fold limitation
Undercuts the Galaxy Z Fold 7 by about $100 ($1,899 / £1,799) and includes a case plus a 90W charger in the box
Best book foldable you can actually buy in the US, since the Oppo Find N6 and Honor Magic V6 aren't sold there

Deal Breakers

Uses the non-Elite Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 in a $1,899 flagship — a clear cost-down some reviewers find disappointing
Heavy at 243g (≈28g more than the Galaxy Z Fold 7) and only IP48/IP49 rated, not full IP68
Motorola's poor track record for timely updates, plus a genuine source conflict over whether it gets 7 years or only 3 years of OS updates
Foldable repair costs and Motorola's screen-peeling warranty history are recurring trust concerns

Motorola Razr Fold

Historically the foldable Achilles heel — but Motorola invested in hardware and software here, and DxOMark ranks it the best camera in any foldable.

DxOMark rates the Razr Fold the #1 camera among foldables — roughly 8th overall across all phones — with a Gold Label.
A 50MP main (f/1.6, OIS), a 50MP ultrawide (12mm, 122° FOV, f/2.0) and a third 50MP camera — all selfies can use the best 50MP main.
This is without question the best Motorola camera I've ever used.
Comes up just short of modern flagships like the iPhone 17 Pro, Find X9 Pro and Xiaomi 17 Ultra, with a DxOMark score of 164 points.
Took it for a street-photography spin and came away genuinely impressed — the camera hardware was what caught attention.
Highest-quality camera in a folding phone in the US — better than the Pixel 10 Pro Fold and Galaxy Z Fold 7, which use older sensors.
