The Galaxy Z Flip 5’s performance in the hand-folding test has exceeded the official rating provided by Bureau Veritas, which certified the device for 200,000 folds.

Why It’s Important: For the unversed, The Motorola Razr+ boasts a slightly larger 3.6-inch cover display, while the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 features a 3.4-inch display. 

On the flip side, the Flip 5 takes the lead over the Razr+ thanks to its Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, while the Razr+ relies on the slightly less efficient Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset. 

Though the performance gains may not be huge, the newer Gen 2 chipset proves to be more efficient, which is significant considering both phones have relatively small batteries.

The Razr+ comes with a 3,800mAh battery, while the Flip 5 has a slightly smaller 3,700mAh battery. 

Notably, the Razr+ supports faster 30W wired charging compared to the Flip 5’s 25W rate. However, Motorola disappoints with its 5W wireless charging speed, which is substantially lower than the Flip 5’s impressive 15W speed.
