The company is running a new “daylight savings” deal which knocks up to 25% off of some of its hardware. The most interesting deals are for the Motorola Razr and Razr Plus 2023, which are $200 and $300 cheaper respectively.
Having tested both flip phones, they are fairly equally matched. Samsung’s handset has a better camera, but Motorola’s cover display is bigger and sharper . Where they differ is software support. Samsung’s Flip 5 offers four years of Android updates and five years of security patches. Whereas the Razr will receive three major OS updates and four years of security patches.. Buyers of previous models were promised two years of Android updates and three years of security fixes.
This should be part of your buying decision because you’re not saving much money if the phone has to be replaced in two years. With that said, the Razr Plus is $420 cheaper than the Flip 5 right now, so if you’re hunting for a foldable phone and you have a hard budget, this is a solid deal. If you can wait, I expect we’ll see some aggressive pricing from Samsung, Google and Motorola when they release their next-generation foldables in the summer.
