Better than Samsung and Xiaomi: these foldable displays are impressive

The Motorola Razr 70 (around US$ 800 at amazon.com) looks very pretty. However, it also impresses with an AMOLED panel that achieves a peak brightness of 1331 cd/m² in the lab. The color reproduction has an exceptionally low delta E value of 1.2.

These values position the Foldable at the top of its class in terms of technology. Although there is strong competition from Samsung in the form of the Galaxy Z Fold 7, for example, Samsung's smartphone only achieves similar values in brightness and is even inferior in terms of color accuracy.

Exceptional brightness values

The laboratory measurement documents a center screen brightness of 1331 cd/m² for the Motorola Razr 70. This value exceeds the previous Razr 60 model by around 11 percent. For outdoor users, this means clear legibility even in direct sunlight.

Color calibration in detail

The display has a black level of 0, which is typical for AMOLED technology. The Delta-E color checker value of 1.2 represents remarkable precision.

For comparison: The Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 achieves 2.11, the Galaxy Z Flip7 even 2.2. Photographers benefit from this accuracy when editing images on the go.

Suitability for everyday use in the test

In everyday use, the brightness is advantageous when used outdoors. After our test, we can confirm that reading emails outdoors is much more comfortable than with the predecessor. 

The automatic brightness control reacts precisely to changes in light.

Conclusion on display quality

The Razr 70 delivers a technically outstanding display with measurable advantages. And the external display is also of high quality. 

So if you are looking for the best displays in a clamshell foldable, you will not be disappointed here.

However, the predecessor also offers very good features and is currently significantly cheaper.

If you want to know whether the Razr 70 is still worth a look, or whether you should go for the predecessor or its competitors, we recommend our detailed test report on the Motorola Razr 70.
