The Samsung Galaxy Flip6 and the Motorola Razr 50 Ultra are two new compact foldables in the market that differ greatly beyond their form factor. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 is powered by a custom Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, whereas the Motorola Razr50 Ultra rocks a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC under the hood. This is one of the reasons why the Samsung smartphone is approximately Rs 10,000 more expensive than the Razr 50 Ultra. But how much of a performance boost does the custom Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 provide for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 over its competitor? Read on to find out.
| Smartphone | Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 | Motorola Razr 50 Ultra |
| Processor | Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC for Galaxy | Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC |
| GPU | Adreno 750 GPU | Adreno 735 GPU |
| Memory configuration | up to 12GB RAM + 256GB storage | up to 12GB RAM + 512GB storage |
AnTuTu
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 scores roughly 90,000 more than its counterpart on AnTuTu, which tests the smartphone’s CPU and graphics capabilities. This indicates that the Samsung smartphone will be more capable of handling graphically demanding activities, such as gaming, than the Razr 50 Ultra. Be that as it may, Motorola triumphs over the Flip 6 in AnTuTu’s sub-tests MEM and UX, meaning that it will provide you with faster memory and a better user experience.
Winner: Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6
Geekbench
The Motorola Razr 50 Ultra achieves a higher single-core score of 1,951 compared to the Galaxy Z Flip6’s 1,891 in the Geekbench test. However, it falls short in the multi-core test, where the Samsung smartphone scores 6,158, significantly higher than the Motorola’s 4,804. Theoretically, this means that the Galaxy Z Flip6 should be quicker than the Motorola smartphone in launching apps with multiple threads. For anything light, basically apps with a single thread to run, the Razr 50 Ultra should excel. That said, the difference might not be apparent.
Winner: Tie
CPU Throttling test
The Motorola Razr 50 Ultra throttles significantly in the Burnout CPU throttle test. The handset performs at 27.8 percent of its peak performance, whereas the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 throttles to 44.1 percent in a similar test. If you want a flip smartphone that can handle the load better, then Samsung should be your choice.
Winner: Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6
Gaming
Neither of these devices is specifically designed for gaming, but both can handle graphically demanding titles such as BGMI, Call of Duty, and Real Racing 3 without any issues. During our lab tests, we observed that the Motorola Razr 50 Ultra delivers better FPS, while the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 offers superior thermal management. After one and a half hours of gameplay, the Samsung smartphone’s temperature increased by 18.6 degrees on average, whereas the Motorola Razr 50 Ultra’s temperature spiked by 21.8 degrees.
Winner: Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6
Verdict
The Motorola Razr 50 Ultra (review), conversely, is not far behind. The flagship-grade Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC ensures better performance for the smartphone in the single-core Geekbench test and frames while gaming. The handset could be a good buy if gaming or extensive usage is not your priority.
