Motorola’s new foldable to rival Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip

WEB DESK: Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 5 has held a strong position in the European foldable smartphone market, offering up to 8GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.

This configuration has given Samsung a competitive edge over its primary rival, Motorola’s Razr 40 Ultra, which is limited to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. 09However, this balance is set to shift with the upcoming launch of Motorola’s Razr 50 Ultra.

According to a recent report from DealNTech, a European retailer inadvertently revealed pricing details for the Razr 50 Ultra, indicating that the new foldable phone will come with a configuration offering 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.

This new development not only matches Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 5 in terms of storage but surpasses it with a significant 50 per cent increase in RAM.

The increased memory capacity in the Razr 50 Ultra could attract users who require more robust multitasking capabilities, potentially impacting Samsung’s sales in the region.

Despite this advantage, Samsung may find solace in the Razr 50 Ultra’s higher price point.

The leaked retailer listing suggests that the 12GB RAM and 512GB storage model will be priced at EUR 1,200, which is EUR 80 more than Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 5 with 8GB RAM and 512GB storage.

This price difference could be a factor that limits Motorola’s ability to capture market share from Samsung.

Nonetheless, the competitive landscape in the foldable phone market is evolving, and Samsung may need to consider enhancing its RAM options in future models to maintain its lead.

An increase in memory could not only satisfy customer demand but also bolster sales for the company’s upcoming clamshell foldable, the Galaxy Z Flip 6.

For now, users interested in Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 5 can explore the latest features introduced with the One UI 6.1 update, as detailed in the video accompanying this article.

As the foldable phone market continues to grow, consumers can expect more innovation and exciting developments from these leading brands.
