Infinix Zero Flip Vs Motorola Razr 50: Which One Flips Better

When most brands were launching similar-looking smartphones in the mid-range segment, Infinix shook things up with an affordable first flip smartphone. The Infinix Zero Flip aims to democratise the flip-phone technology to the masses, which is evident from the brand's marketing claims of testing the design for over 400,000 folds. It's got decent specs too, which makes it good value for a lot of people.

But Infinix is not alone. 

A few months ago, Lenovo-backed Motorola introduced the Motorola Razr 50, pricing it at a highly compelling price. Equipped with a larger cover display and a premium vegan leather finish, the Razr 50 scores high on desirability, especially when it comes to the overall proposition. 

So which one should you choose? 

Is the Motorola Razr 50 a better bet for those seeking a premium package infused with AI? Or, does the Infinix Zero Flip with its unique set of features seem better?

There's only one way to find out – a detailed Infinix Zero Flip Vs Motorola Razr 50 comparison. Let’s dive into a detailed comparison of the on-paper specifications of these two devices.

The Motorola Razr 50 measures 7.3mm thick when unfolded, which is 0.3mm thinner than the Infinix Zero Flip. Even in the folded state, the Razr 50 is 0.1mm slimmer than its competitor and weighs 7 grams less.

When examining the cover displays, both devices have noticeable bezels. Motorola has minimised the appearance of the upper bezel by matching it with the body colour, while Infinix chose a glossy black finish on the display panel, making the thicker bezel more prominent.

Moreover, the Motorola Razr 50 offers an IPX8 water resistance rating—a feature absent on the Infinix Zero Flip. In terms of appearance, the Motorola looks more attractive, but the Infinix feels sturdier.

So both smartphones score equally in this category.

The Motorola Razr 50 is available in two variants—256GB and 512GB—while the Infinix Zero Flip comes only in a 512GB variant.

The Infinix Zero Flip runs on the XOS 14.5 skin based on Android 14, with the brand promising two years of Android OS updates and three years of security updates. Meanwhile, the Motorola Razr 50 offers a stock Android 14 experience out of the box, following a '3+4' update policy, providing three years of Android updates and four years of security updates.
