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

Same 50MP main + 12MP ultrawide + 10MP 3x telephoto trio as the Plus — versatile and consistent in daylight. The 3x optical zoom is the standout vs rivals stuck at 2x.
Motorola Razr Fold
Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 with 16GB RAM — fast for everyday use and surprisingly good in long sessions, but the choice of the non-Elite chip in a $1,899 phone is the headline criticism.
Samsung Galaxy S23
Same bespoke Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy (3.36GHz) chip as the Plus and Ultra — no compromise. 40% faster than the S22 Ultra and meaningfully cooler. 8GB RAM keeps multitasking smooth even 3 years on.
Motorola Razr Fold
The standout: the largest battery in the book-foldable space delivering class-leading endurance, plus 80W wired charging — three times faster than the Galaxy Z Fold 7.
Samsung Galaxy S23
3,900mAh — the family's weakest point. Real-world ~5-6 hours of SOT typical (worsened by One UI 6/7), and only 25W charging means ~1h12m to full. The compact form factor's main cost.
Motorola Razr Fold
At $1,899 it undercuts the Z Fold 7 and is the only premium book foldable many US buyers can actually purchase — value hinges on whether the non-Elite chip and update questions matter to you.
Samsung Galaxy S23
$799 launch with the same chip as the $1,199 Ultra — strong value despite the 25W charging and smaller battery. Now $300-400 used, often the best compact-flagship option versus Pixel 7/8 and OnePlus 11.
