There is a Wednesday last month when Maya and I stand in a carrier store, wallets out, staring at two tiny glass sandwiches that unfold into full-size phones. One is the Motorola RAZR Ultra 2025, the other the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7. They both look like props from a sci-fi movie, yet the price tags are very real. By the time we leave, one of us has committed to a two-year payment plan, the other walks out with a receipt and a grin. The choice felt personal, but it was also practical. Below is the honest breakdown of every difference that mattered to us, battery to hinge, camera to cover screen, so you can pick the flip that fits your life without any buyer regret.
