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 Ultra 2025

What Reviewers Agree On

It's the best clamshell foldable on the market — the most refined flip phone Motorola has made, and many reviewers' favorite folding phone outright.
Premium, distinctive materials (genuine wood, titanium, Alcantara, Pantone colorways) and a titanium hinge that hides the crease far better than rivals.
The 4,700mAh battery is a major upgrade — comfortably all-day, and far ahead of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 in rundown tests.
The 4-inch external display is the largest and most usable cover screen on any flip phone.
Snapdragon 8 Elite with 16GB RAM delivers true flagship performance, a big leap over the previous Razr Plus.

Deal Breakers

Only 3 years of OS updates and 4 of security on a $1,299 phone, versus Samsung's 7 years — widely called unacceptable.
IP48 rating only (dust >1mm, 1.5m water) — well behind the IP68 of slab flagships and a real durability gap.
No telephoto camera — image quality degrades noticeably past 3x zoom.

Motorola Razr Ultra 2025

A dual 50MP system (wide + ultrawide) that's improved and creator-friendly, but the lack of a telephoto and merely-good processing keep it a step behind slab flagships.

Two 50MP rear cameras — a primary wide with OIS offering up to 2x lossless zoom, plus a 50MP ultrawide with autofocus for panoramas and macro.
Motorola restoring the ultrawide shooter was the right move, since the Razr lets you use its main camera array for selfies.
Because there's no telephoto camera, images are noticeably degraded compared with dedicated-zoom phones from 3x onward and worse the further you push it.
Content creators get a deep mode set including a new Group Shot that blends the best faces from a burst.
The cameras are pretty good, especially the primary shooter — Motorola's reputation for weak cameras no longer really holds here.
Photos could use more vibrance and clarity, but there's clear growth in Motorola's camera processing year over year.
The camcorder mode now works for both landscape and portrait video, a Razr-only flex for content shooters.
