The Galaxy Z Flip 6 is Samsung's next flip phone with a foldable screen, and it will likely be announced during the Galaxy Unpacked event on July 10, 2024. However, it appears that the phone's cameras will be dead on arrival, as rival flip phones from other brands will have higher-resolution or telephoto cameras.
One such phone is Motorola's RAZR 50 Ultra. This phone has a bigger cover screen and a dedicated high-resolution telephoto camera.
RAZR 50 Ultra has a 50MP telephoto camera, while Galaxy Z Flip 6 doesn't
According to leaked images (via @evleaks) and specifications of the Motorola RAZR 50 Ultra, the phone has a 50MP primary camera with OIS and a 50MP telephoto camera with OIS and 2x optical zoom. Its selfie camera uses a 32MP sensor. All these cameras can record up to 4K 60fps videos.
The Galaxy Z Flip 5 will reportedly have a 50MP primary camera with OIS, a 12MP ultrawide camera, and a 10MP selfie camera. All its cameras can also record up to 4K 60fps videos.
While Samsung may offer an in-sensor crop for optical quality 2x zoom in the Galaxy Z Flip 6, the RAZR 50 Ultra will likely offer up to 5x optical quality zoom using the same method as Samsung's.
The other specifications of the RAZR 50 Ultra include a 6.9-inch 165Hz pOLED screen with Full HD+ resolution, a 4-inch cover screen, a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor, 12GB RAM, and 256GB/512GB storage. It is reportedly powered by a 4,000mAh battery that supports 45W fast charging and wireless charging.
It will reportedly cost $999 in the US and €1,200 in Europe.

The RAZR 50 Ultra is expected to go official soon and become available globally in June, a month earlier than the Galaxy Z Flip 6. If these reports are accurate, the RAZR 50 Ultra looks better specced than the Galaxy Z Flip 6.
Samsung's upcoming phone will have a more powerful chipset, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, and much better software support (likely 7 major Android OS updates). However, its screen, cameras, and charging are not as good as Motorola's.
Which will you choose? Galaxy Z Flip 6 or RAZR 50 Ultra?
It remains to be seen if people prefer the Galaxy Z Flip 6 or the RAZR 50 Ultra. Even Xiaomi is expected to launch its first flip phone, which will reportedly feature three cameras: a primary wide-angle, an ultrawide, and a telephoto.
