Foldable phones, especially clamshell flip models, are on the rise, with nearly all brands racing to offer their take on this form factor. Consumers are also curious to try out this fresh design, yet the biggest obstacle so far has been the ultra-premium price tag. However, that’s slowly changing. Infinix recently launched its Zero Flip smartphone, priced at Rs 50,000—not cheap but far from the Rs 1,00,000 price range of other foldables. Luckily, it’s not the only option in India. Motorola has also introduced its latest Razr 50, originally priced around Rs 65,000. With ongoing festive sales, however, it’s available for close to Rs 50,000 after discounts and offers.
If you’re stuck between the two, you’ve come to the right place. We’ve extensively tested both devices to help you find the flip phone that suits your needs.

As you can see, both devices are only available in the single storage options, and the Zero Flip is the only option you have if you want 512GB of storage. While the Zero Flip is more affordable on paper (thanks to the Diwali sale all over the place), the Razr 50 could also be available at around the same price point.

Razr 50
Both phones feature a half-folding hinge. At the back, the Zero Flip has a unique tiger-print pattern that appears under certain lighting, adding a distinct touch. Meanwhile, the Razr 50 goes for a suede finish, giving it a refined look.
A significant advantage of the Razr 50 is its IPX8 rating, while the Zero Flip lacks any IP certification.
In terms of design, it mostly comes down to personal preference. If you’re after a more premium aesthetic and enjoy the suede finish, the Razr 50 is an easy choice. That said, the Zero Flip also has its charm and doesn’t feel like an entry-level device.
The Zero Flip stands out with its impressive external display—the second largest in a flippable phone. During everyday use, the big cover screen felt like a mini smartphone, making it easy to watch YouTube Shorts and even draft quick notes with Gboard’s predictive text without needing to open the device.

The main internal AMOLED display is vibrant, providing vivid colours for shows and gaming. Although it’s slightly dimmer than the external screen, the minimal reflectivity on the crease allowed for a distraction-free viewing experience. Plus, with the Widevine L1 certification, streaming quality is maximised, although HDR isn’t supported on Netflix.
On the other hand, Razr 50 offers a large cover display that prioritises ease of use, letting users access essential apps and a few entertaining games without needing to flip open the device. The internal display delivers lively colours and excellent brightness, making for an enjoyable viewing experience.

The 22:9 aspect ratio does require a little adjustment, and YouTube videos show black bars around the screen, but pinch-to-zoom addresses this for a better fit. The crease is visible and can be felt when interacting with the screen, though it’s less prominent than on older Razr models.
So when it comes to display, the Zero Flip and Razr 50 deliver great viewing experiences, with each offering unique strengths. If you’re after a maximised external display, the Zero Flip shines. For a polished, user-friendly experience on the cover display, the Razr 50 is a solid choice.
Infinix Zero Flip vs Motorola Razr 50: Performance and UI
Both devices pack quite powerful SoCs under the hood. Yes, none of these devices have the top-notch flagship processors but they are quite potent to churn out day-to-day tasks like endlessly scrolling through Instagram reels, chatting on WhatsApp, clicking pictures, making calls, etc.
However, we ran the popular benchmark tests like AnTuTu and Geekbench on both of these devices to see get more perspective and here’s how they performed:

So, both the Zero Flip and Razr 50 deliver solid performance for everyday tasks and casual gaming, making them competitive in the mid-range segment. However, the Zero Flip holds a slight edge in benchmark tests like AnTuTu, showing a bit more power under the hood.

In gaming, the Zero Flip supports higher graphics settings and maintains stable frame rates in games like Call of Duty Mobile and BGMI, offering a slightly smoother experience. While both devices perform well, the Zero Flip comes with that slight advantage when it comes to raw performance and gaming capabilities.
When it comes to the software part, the Zero Flip runs XOS 14.5, built on Android 14, offering a familiar interface but with occasional performance issues. App switching showed some lag and minor artefacts, which felt unexpected, as previous versions of XOS had been smoother in our experience.
However, despite these minor setbacks, Zero Flip’s software shines with its extensive customisation options, letting users adjust the UI to their liking. There are over 100 apps working on the cover screen, expanding functionality significantly. Razr 50
On the flip side, the Razr 50 delivers a clean and intuitive UI, resembling the simple Google Pixel device experience. The familiar Moto gestures are a nice touch for long-time Motorola fans, and Google Gemini integration adds a layer of intelligence to interactions. The external display’s mini-game selection is also a fun addition, enhancing the cover display experience.
The Zero Flip impressed with its 50MP primary camera, delivering detailed photos with natural colours, solid HDR, and balanced contrast. Using the large cover screen for selfies made it an unexpectedly fun experience despite occasional focus issues.

The ultrawide camera also captures good details, though images tend to have a warmer, yellowish tint than the primary lens. In low light, the main camera performs admirably, capturing close-to-accurate colours and sharp details, while the ultrawide struggles slightly with noise and reduced detail.
The Razr 50 also offers a strong photography experience, with the same main camera as its pricier sibling, the Razr 50 Ultra, but with more natural colour reproduction. The primary camera captures sharp details and lifelike colours, while the ultrawide offers a useful broader view with minor colour shifts. It doubles as a macro lens but lacks extreme close-up capabilities.

Portraits have good edge detection, though hair can sometimes appear cropped in the frame. Low-light shots lose some detail, but the overall quality remains decent. Selfies come out well, with natural skin tones, and the front camera smartly widens the frame for group shots.
So, in terms of optics, both the Zero Flip and Razr 50 excel in capturing vibrant, detailed images, each offering unique strengths. The Zero Flip’s camera setup makes the most of its large cover screen, while the Razr 50 maintains natural colours and a versatile shooting experience.
