Motorola Razor vs Galaxy Fold: Design
Motorola and Samsung have adopted two different approaches to what a foldable phone should look like. The Galaxy Fold has a large 7.3-inch AMOLED display that folds like a book. Hence the form factor of the fold is vertical compared to the razor. Samsung’s idea is to introduce the smartphone’s co-tablet experience with a larger display and a 4.6-inch screen on the cover.
Meanwhile, the Motorola Razer clings to the same flip phone design of the iconic Razor. When folded, the razor is a small pocketable size, with a small 2.8-inch display on the cover. When open, the razor sports a 6.2-inch flexible polyed screen that is about the size of a regular smartphone.

Meanwhile, the Motorola razor gets a 6.2-inch Polo Flex View display with HD 2142 x876 resolution and a 2.7-inch round cover screen with 600×800 resolution.
