You just crowned a new foldable champion – and it’s not Samsung

The foldable market has yet to become absolutely mainstream, but foldable phones are gaining considerable popularity among fans nowadays. Samsung is one of the key players in the U.S. market. But it’s challenged for the throne from none other than Motorola itself. And it seems that you think that Motorola should win. Definitively. 

You think Motorola should win the foldable game in the U.S. instead of Samsung

In our poll, we put you in the position of judge in the battle between Samsung and Motorola for the foldable crown in the U.S., and, surprisingly, or not so much, the overwhelming majority of you are actually rooting for Motorola to win. 

At the time of writing, 59.05% of the voters in our poll are saying that Motorola should win the market. And the difference between the number of voters for Motorola and Samsung is huge. Voters for Samsung are currently just 18.31% of all participants in the poll. 

Curiously enough, the third option that gathered votes from you is the option “I don’t really care about sales charts”, which almost 13% of you voted for. 

Motorola’s foldables: a clear win, but why

Samsung is generally good with colors and design, but the Razr Ultra is just stunning when it comes to looks. The foldable aspect already makes it catch attention, but Motorola didn’t just rest on its laurels; instead, it tried to make the phone stand out even further. 

As you can see, we have some exquisite colors here. The materials are also fascinating, including the ones with the wooden back, that… well, you don’t get to see that on a phone very often. 

Motorola Razr Ultra colors:

• Pantone Scarab (black, with a leather/velvet back)
• Pantone Rio Red
• Pantone Mountain Trail (wooden back)
• Pantone Cabaret

Meanwhile, alongside the Razr Ultra, Motorola also offers the Razr+ and the regular Razr. And the colors are just as epic as the ones the Ultra rocks. 

Just for the color alone, I’m considering getting this phone even though I’m not even due for an upgrade. 

The base Razr comes with a 4,500mAh battery, while the FE Flip sports just 4,000mAh. The Razr Ultra also beats the Galaxy Z Flip 7 in the battery department with a 4,700mAh battery vs a 4,300mAh battery cell, respectively. 

Apparently, there are quite a lot of reasons why someone would prefer Motorola’s offering over what Samsung is doing. Right now, Samsung really needs to step it up.

If I were buying a foldable, it’d definitely be a Razr 

Right now, although I love the compact form factor and just the pure gorgeousness of clamshell foldables, I’m not set on buying one just yet. The thing is, for me, the crease in a foldable’s display is super annoying. I’m sensitive to textures, and it just bugs me, so there’s that. However, to me, whoever manages to come up with a solution to beat physics and make a screen fold without having a crease (at all!) in the middle of it will win my heart. The second it’s there, the second I’m on it (it should come with Google services, too, by the way).

Let’s see who does it first. Maybe, just maybe, it will be Apple, although it seems that the overwhelming majority of our readers do not happen to think so. But if I were to buy a foldable right this moment, it would’ve been a Razr.
