Motorola Razr 2025 vs Oppo Find X9 Ultra

Motorola Razr 2025

A dual 50MP system that's improved year over year and packed with fun AI modes, but processing and the selfie pipeline keep it a clear step behind candy-bar phones and the Galaxy Z Flip.

• The camera system pairs a 50MP main sensor with a 50MP ultrawide plus AI features for better photos and video.
• Year after year Motorola is doing a much better job improving the camera quality on the base Razr.
• The AI camera suite is genuinely fun — auto night vision, photo booth, auto smile capture, hands-free gesture and a camcorder mode that testers loved.
• For vlogging, stick to the rear cameras — the front camera is nowhere near matching what the Galaxy Z Flip can do.
• You can get a better camera experience on a cheaper non-folding phone like the Pixel 9a — cameras are just fine here, not a strength.
• Photo quality lands a step below but very similar to the Galaxy Z Flip 7 — respectable for a flip at this price.

Oppo Find X9 Ultra

The reason to buy it. A Hasselblad-tuned quad system with the most versatile zoom on any phone, a true 10x optical periscope and an optional 300mm Hasselblad teleconverter. Near-universally praised, with only minor sharpness and ultrawide caveats.

• A 200MP main, 200MP 3x telephoto, 50MP 10x optical telephoto and 50MP ultrawide, all Hasselblad-branded — camera-first overkill in the best way.
• Consistently great photos, sharpness and dynamic range with really good color calibration — this phone did basically everything right in the camera department; an incredibly well-rounded smartphone camera.
• Is this the best camera phone ever built? — my new favorite camera phone and one of the best Android phones I've ever used.
• Even after a direct shootout, still the best camera phone I've ever used.
• Detail is very good, but sharpness remains a bit underwhelming on the main camera.

Motorola Razr 2025

The mid-tier MediaTek Dimensity 7400X is fine for everyday use but is the phone's clearest weakness — it throttles hard under sustained load and trails the Razr Ultra by a wide margin.

• It runs a MediaTek Dimensity 7400X with 8GB RAM and a 4,500mAh battery — adequate for daily use.
• It's not a particularly powerful chipset — you can get better numbers from much cheaper conventional phones — and the CPU throttling test showed a steep drop after ~5 minutes to roughly 60% of the initial result.
• In benchmarks the base Razr 2025 scored 1,026 (6.15fps avg) in 3DMark Wildlife Extreme versus the Razr Ultra's 6,754 (40.45fps) — a massive gap.
• The new processor was only ~5–6% faster than the previous generation, with the gains focused on AI features.
• For most owners — scrolling social, light gaming, YouTube — 99% will be perfectly happy with the performance.
• In casual gaming it holds ~90fps in lighter titles (capped to 60fps in heavier ones) with little temperature rise, dropping to ~60% battery after 50 minutes.

Oppo Find X9 Ultra

Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 puts it near the top of the benchmark charts, but sustained-load stability is mediocre and Oppo deliberately throttles early to control heat.

• As expected, the Find X9 Ultra earns excellent benchmark scores near the top of the charts.
• A 3D ultrasonic fingerprint scanner Oppo claims is 35% faster and 33% more reliable, plus vapor cooling to dissipate heat through the aluminium frame for better sustained performance.
• 3DMark returned ~7,530 best-loop and ~3,682 low-loop with only ~49% stability, and peak performance didn't last a minute — weak sustained behaviour.
• Genshin Impact stayed consistently above 50fps and remained smooth even when throttling to ~30fps after ~16 minutes at 41.5°C, at under 4W power draw.
• Honor of Kings averaged 144fps over 30 minutes at max settings; Genshin held max 60fps before stabilizing near 50fps.

Motorola Razr 2025

A 4,500mAh cell that's the base Razr's quiet strength in daily use, though lab rundowns are more middling. Charging is modest (30W, no in-box brick) but acceptable for the price.

• The larger 4,500mAh battery delivers excellent real-world life — owners comfortably get through a full day.
• With light use one reviewer could squeak out roughly four days on a charge (4–5 hours of screen-on time spread over those days).
• Controlled lab testing was more middling — a mediocre active-use score of about 9h28m.
• 9to5Google found the battery life absolutely rock solid in everyday use.
• A full 0–100% charge took about 55 minutes with a proper adapter (0–61% in 30 minutes); another test hit a full charge in roughly an hour on its 30W charging.
• There's no charger in the box and no wireless charging — modest, but acceptable for the price tier.

Oppo Find X9 Ultra

A genuine highlight: a 7,050mAh silicon-carbon cell that posts some of the best endurance numbers of any 2026 flagship, with fast 100W wired and 50W wireless charging.

• Draws power from a 7,050mAh battery — a sizeable increase over the previous generation — with 100W SuperVOOC wired and 50W AirVOOC wireless charging.
• Earned an active-use battery score of over 20 hours; with the SuperVOOC charger it went 0–75% in 30 minutes and to full in 45 minutes.
• After ~10 hours of continuous use starting at 7am it still had 53% battery, regularly getting 8–9 hours of screen-on time and ~40% left after a 13-hour day.
• A PCMark synthetic loop returned 15 hours 2 minutes, and 100W SuperVOOC charging took ~49–52 minutes (the charger isn't included).
• With moderate usage you can easily expect more than 2 days of battery life — Oppo finally feels like a truly complete product.

Motorola Razr 2025

Motorola's clean, light-touch Android with handy gestures is well-liked, but the short 3-year update commitment delivered slowly is the recurring criticism.

• Motorola's UI offers handy physical shortcuts like the karate-chop flashlight and a quick wrist-twist to launch the camera.
• Motorola promises only 3 years of OS updates and 4 of security, and is typically slow — often releasing one Android version behind.
• Three years of OS updates on a ~$699 phone is judged pretty solid value, even if it's short next to Samsung.
• Over months, Motorola not pushing updates as aggressively as Pixel or Samsung is a real long-term drawback.
• Moto pre-installs only a few genuinely useful apps rather than the heavy bloat of some rivals, and the software is a lot better than expected.

Oppo Find X9 Ultra

ColorOS 16 has matured a lot and is fast and smooth, but it still trails Samsung and Google on AI depth and feels iOS-derived to some — the phone's clearest weak point relative to its hardware.

• ColorOS 16 feels like one of the best versions yet.
• It's a good Android experience but not on par with the Galaxy experience for AI features and tool integration, and portrait autofocus struggles in some low-light conditions.
• For me it's the best version of Android I've ever used — light, fast and smooth with no major issues.
• The hardware is superior to the latest Samsung, but the software feels like an imitation of iOS.
• With a bit of tweaking and updates, Oppo's software and camera engineers can make this even better — there's clear headroom.

Motorola Razr 2025

The clearest verdict: at roughly $699 (and a steal on sale) it's the flip phone most people should buy — bringing much of the Razr experience for hundreds less than the Ultra or a Galaxy Z Flip.

• It's still the best-value flip phone for most people.
• It's not a lazy rehash — it brings the best of 'Ultra' to the masses, with good performance, fine cameras and rock-solid battery life.
• Notebookcheck calls it a solid flip phone despite shortcomings — a relatively affordable ~$800 (EU) alternative to the ~$1,300 Ultra, $100 cheaper than its predecessor.
• At ~$699 (often $599 with activation within 6 months of launch) you still get the nice Razr experience, the best front-screen experience and three years of updates — a good deal.
• It's $100 cheaper than the Z Flip 7 and still a really good phone — but Samsung's 7 years of updates is the trade-off to weigh.
• One year later this base Razr restored a reviewer's faith in foldables and in Motorola — about $700 for two cameras and enough spec to not feel like you're missing out.

Oppo Find X9 Ultra

Premium-priced and hard to buy in many markets, but reviewers broadly conclude it out-cameras the S26 Ultra and Pixel and edges the Vivo X300 Ultra on usability.

• Its main compromises are the ~€1,699 price, large 236g body, occasional software concerns and limited availability in some markets.
• It feels like Oppo wanted to make the camera first and just happened to also create the best Android phone you can get right now — though it won't win every year-end award.
• The base Find X9 Ultra starts at 7,499 yuan in China — roughly £814 / ~$1,100 — but the heaviness and visual pressure are the first impression.
• The closest rival is the Vivo X300 Ultra, but the X9 Ultra wins by having a more user-friendly OS.
• The Hasselblad alliance delivers a phone that genuinely challenges the Galaxy S26 Ultra on cameras.
