Motorola's first book-style foldable trades the iconic flip for a Samsung-like book form, with a Material Expressive look, a flat-folding hinge and a notably heavy body.

An almost identical body to the S25+ — same dimensions, weight, and aluminium-with-Gorilla-Victus-2-glass construction. The only visible change is a raised oval camera island (matching the Galaxy Z Fold 7), which broke compatibility with existing S25+ cases. IP68 water resistance, ultrasonic fingerprint, and excellent stereo speakers carry forward.

Historically the foldable Achilles heel — but Motorola invested in hardware and software here, and DxOMark ranks it the best camera in any foldable.
Samsung Galaxy S26+
The most-criticised aspect of the phone. The S26+ uses the same 50 MP main + 12 MP ultrawide + 10 MP 3x telephoto array Samsung has shipped since the S22+ — fine for landscapes and well-lit shots, mediocre in low light, and frustrating for moving subjects. Software adds Horizontal Lock video and natural-language Photo Assist edits, but the hardware ceiling is showing.

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 S26+
Both chip variants — Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 (US/China) and Exynos 2600 (rest of world) — deliver flagship-grade benchmarks and smooth real-world performance. The Exynos throttles harder under sustained load and consumes a touch more battery than the Snapdragon, but day-to-day use is indistinguishable.

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 S26+
The flashpoint of every review. The 4,900 mAh cell is unchanged from the S25+ and lab tests put the S26+ comfortably in 'reliable all-day' territory — but Chinese rivals with silicon-carbon batteries (OnePlus 15, Oppo Find X9 Pro) now run 50–70% longer in the same tests. 45W wired and 20W wireless charging are competitive within Samsung's lineup but slow versus the OnePlus 15's 100W.

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 S26+
Starting at $1,099 / £1,099 with 256 GB (no 128 GB option), the S26+ has the hardest pitch in Samsung's lineup. The base Galaxy S26 saves $200 and gives up only the bigger screen and 4,900 mAh battery; the Ultra adds dramatically better cameras, Privacy Display, S Pen, and 60W charging for $200 more. Outside Samsung, the OnePlus 15 and Google Pixel 10 each undercut the Plus on the things it doesn't excel at.
