Many would say that Motorola’s Razr+ and OPPO’s Find N2 Flip are some of the most exciting clamshell foldables on the market at the moment. That is probably true. Motorola’s offering is brand new, while the Find N2 Flip originally launched back in December. It took the device some time to arrive to global markets. In any case, we’re here to compare these two phones, the Motorola Razr+ vs OPPO Find N2 Flip.

Do note that the Razr+ is also known as the Motorola Razr 40 Ultra, it all depends on the market. They are similar in some ways, but different in other ways. We’ll first list their specifications, and will then compare their designs, displays, performance, battery life, cameras, and audio performance. Let’s get to it!

Motorola Razr+ vs OPPO Find N2 Flip: Design

Both phones are made out of metal and glass (the Razr+ also comes in a variant with a vegan leather backplate), and both have a layer of plastic across the display on the front. These two phones are really easy to set apart, as they employ entirely different outer displays. The Motorola has a large, horizontally-oriented 3.6-inch cover display, while the OPPO Find N2 Flip has a 3.26-inch panel, which is vertically oriented. Both phones include two cameras on the back, with the same orientations as the cover displays.

Thin bezels are included on both phones, while both devices also have a centered display camera hole on the main display. Both of them hide the hinge entirely when unfolded, and both feel very satisfying to fold and unfold, actually, no issues there. These two phones also fold flat, unlike the Galaxy Z Flip 4. The Motorola Razr+ also comes with a water-repellent coating, while the Find N2 Flip does not offer any water protection.

The Motorola Razr+ is taller, narrower, and thinner than the OPPO Find N2 Flip. The difference is minimal, however, as it’s less than a mm thinner, and around 1mm narrower. The Razr+ also weighs less than the Find N2 Flip. Its vegan leather model weighs 184.5 grams, while the glass variant weighs 188.5 grams. The OPPO Find N2 Flip weighs 191 grams. Both devices feel premium in the hand, and seem like they’ll last quite a while.

Motorola Razr+ vs OPPO Find N2 Flip: Display

The Motorola Razr+ features a 6.9-inch fullHD+ (2640 x 1080) Foldable LTPO AMOLED display. That panel offers a 165Hz refresh rate, and can project up to 1 billion colors. It also supports HDR10+ content, and its brightness gets up to 1,400 nits max. The cover display measures 3.6 inches, and offers a resolution of 1056 x 1066. That is also an AMOLED display, and it projects up to 1 billion colors. It offers a refresh rate of 144Hz, and it supports HDR10+ content. Its brightness gets up to 1,100 nits, and this panel is protected by the Gorilla Glass Victus.

The OPPO Find N2 Flip, on the other hand, has a 6.8-inch fullHD+ (2520 x 1080) main display. This is a Foldable LTPO AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate. It also supports HDR10+ content, and gets up to 1,600 nits of peak brightness. This panel has a 21:9 aspect ratio. The cover display on the Find N2 Flip measures 3.26 inches, and offers a resolution of 326 x 720. This is an AMOLED panel, and its brightness goes up to 900 nits max. It is protected by the Gorilla Glass 5.

Both phones have very capable displays. The main displays are very good, and bright enough. The Find N2 Flip’s is a bit brighter, but the difference is minimal. All displays are quite vivid, and offer good viewing angles, not to mention that the blacks are deep. The main difference is that the cover display on the Razr+ allows you to run any app to its full extent, while the Find N2 Flip does not. There is an app to alter that, however, which you can install on the device, even though it’s not the same. So… yeah, they could offer similar functionality too. Both companies did a great job in that regard.

Motorola Razr+ vs OPPO Find N2 Flip: Performance

Both the Motorola Razr+ and OPPO Find N2 Flip are fueled by the same SoC, the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. That is not Qualcomm’s best SoC on the market, but it’s right next to it. Both smartphones also offer LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 flash storage. The Razr+ comes with up to 12GB of RAM, while the OPPO Find N2 Flip has up to 16GB of RAM, though the options are different in global markets.

The performance is excellent on both phones. Both devices offer flagship-grade performance, without a doubt. They simply fly through regular, everyday tasks, with minimal effort. We did not notice any outstanding lag or anything like that worth noting. They do get a bit warm when gaming, and that only increases the longer you play games, especially graphically-intensive ones. Neither phone got uncomfortable to use during our testing, though, so… there you go. They’re essentially on the same level performance-wise.

Motorola Razr+ vs OPPO Find N2 Flip: Battery

The Motorola Razr+ has a 3,800mAh battery on the inside. The OPPO Find N2 Flip includes a 4,300mAh battery. The battery life is actually quite good on both smartphones. The Razr+ does have a smaller battery pack, but that doesn’t prevent it from doing good in the battery life department. The Motorola Razr+ provided us with around 7.5-8 hours of battery life, most days, which is in line with what the OPPO Find N2 Flip offers.

Your mileage may vary, as I always tend to say. My usage does not equal your usage, not even close. There are also two displays here to consider, not to mention different signal strengths, and so on. There are a lot of factors to consider. Do note that we mostly used both phones on Wi-Fi, and didn’t really play any games, outside of specific testing for performance reasons. Keep that in mind.

The Motorola Razr+ supports 30W wired, and 5W wireless charging. The OPPO Find N2 Flip, on the other hand, supports 44W wired, and reverse wired charging. The Motorola Razr+ comes with a charger in some markets, but not in the US. The OPPO Find N2 Flip includes a charger regardless of where you buy the phone.

Motorola Razr+ vs OPPO Find N2 Flip: Cameras

Both devices feature two cameras on the back. The Motorola Razr+ has a 12-megapixel main camera, and a 13-megapixel ultrawide unit. On the other hand, the OPPO Find N2 Flip has a 50-megapixel main camera, and an 8-megapixel ultrawide unit on the back. The performance of these cameras is quite different, actually.

Speaking of the main camera, the Motorola Razr+ tends to provide photos that are close to real life, but can look a bit washed out at times, and quite frankly uninspired. Also, we did notice some issues with HDR performance from time to time. The OPPO Find N2 Flip, on the other hand, likes contrasty images, and does provide more vivid shots in comparison. In the nighttime, both phones do a good job, and the Razr+ even surprises with how well it handles neon lights and lights in general. Both are up to the tasks in low light.

The OPPO Find N2 Flip has a wider FoV on its ultrawide camera, though we wish OPPO went for a different camera here. It should have included a larger sensor, and at least a 12-megapixel one. The Motorola Razr+ doesn’t exactly shine when it comes to ultrawide photography, but it does a good job overall. Either way, we’d stick with the main shooters on both smartphones, that’s for sure.

Audio

There is a set of stereo speakers on both of these smartphones. You’ll be glad to know that speakers on both phones do get loud enough, and they’re actually on a similar level when loudness is concerned. Both sets also provide nice, well-balanced sound, with no glaring issues. Don’t expect miracles, though, of course.

Neither company bothered to include an audio jack on the devices. You’ll have to utilize their Type-C ports if you’d like to connect your headphones via a wire. If not, both devices are equipped with Bluetooth 5.3.
