Samsung's choice to equip the Galaxy Z Flip 7 with an Exynos 2500 chipset and 12GB of RAM was a mistake. While still powerful, it's outperformed by the Razr Ultra (2025). Motorola uses the Snapdragon 8 Elite, the chip in almost every flagship this year, and 16GB of RAM.

The Razr Ultra (2025) is the better choice for a powerful clamshell foldable, especially for demanding games. For less than $900, it includes 512GB of storage, while the Galaxy Z Flip 7 only offers 256GB.

Round 2 — Cameras

It's difficult to pick a winner for the cameras. Both phones take great photos for clamshell foldables. The Razr has two 50MP rear cameras, while the Galaxy has a 50MP main camera and a 12MP ultra-wide camera.

I like the photos from both, but the Razr seems to aim for a natural look by keeping shadows and increasing contrast. The Galaxy brightens shadows and lowers contrast, resulting in evenly lit but less natural pictures. However, the Z Flip 7 has AI features like Magic Eraser.

I'm giving this round to the Razr, but the Galaxy might be better if you prefer AI photo editing.

The Razr Ultra (2025) has a better display. Both offer excellent color accuracy, but the Razr's 7.0-inch OLED display has a 165Hz refresh rate and 3000 nits peak brightness. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 has a 6.9-inch OLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and 2600 nits peak brightness. The Razr will feel more responsive and offer better outdoor visibility.

Also, the Razr has better color reproduction and a better Gamma score, which means better calibration for displaying images and video. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 has a lower minimum brightness.

The Flip 7's cover screen is slightly larger at 4.1 inches, compared to 4.0 inches on the Razr. The Razr's cover screen has a 165Hz refresh rate and higher brightness.

Round 4 — Battery life and charging

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 (4300 mAh): 7h 3min, 18h 58min, 9h 32min, 7h 31min

Motorola Razr Ultra (2025) (4700 mAh): 7h 17min, 23h 51min, 6h 16min, 10h 21min

Details on battery and charging for tested phones

The Galaxy Z Flip 7 has a 4,300mAh battery, and the Razr Ultra (2025) has a slightly larger 4,700mAh battery. The Motorola outperformed the Galaxy in web browsing and gaming, but lasted over three hours less in video playback. The Razr Ultra likely lasts longer on a single charge, but not by much.

The charging speed difference is significant. The Razr's 68W fast wired charging fully charges the battery in 43 minutes. The Z Flip 7 takes one hour and 35 minutes with 25W wired charging.

The Razr needs a Motorola charger to reach 68W speeds. Other high-wattage chargers may not work as well. The Razr wins again.

Round 5 — Software updates

The Razr Ultra (2025) appears to be the winner, but there is something to consider. Motorola only promises three OS updates and four years of security patches.

Samsung offers seven years of OS updates and security patches for the Galaxy Z Flip 7. This makes it the better choice for users who keep their phones for a long time. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 wins this round.

Round 6 — Price

Normally, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 would win, with a starting price of $1,099.99 versus the Razr Ultra's $1,299.99. However, both are discounted for Black Friday to below $900 on Amazon. The deciding factor will be storage and RAM.

The Razr Ultra (2025) offers 512GB of storage and 16GB of RAM, while the Z Flip 7 has 256GB of storage and 12GB of RAM. The 512GB Galaxy Z Flip 7 costs under $953. The Z Flip 7 wins at regular prices, but the Razr Ultra (2025) wins this round for Black Friday.

Which phone should you buy this Black Friday?

I love the Galaxy Z Flip 7. However, I can't deny the value of the 512GB Razr Ultra (2025) for under $900. You won't regret purchasing either phone, but the Razr Ultra (2025) is the better choice if Motorola's update policy isn't a concern.

Choose the Galaxy Z Flip 7 if you keep your phones for as long as possible, because seven years of software support is important.
