This price is significantly lower than the Rs. 1,60,700 price of Motorola Razr with an outdated Snapdragon 710 chipset. Meanwhile, the Galaxy Z Flip is expected to use the Snapdragon 855 chipset - which was featured on many high-end flagships last year.

The device could come with 2 batteries with a total capacity of 3,300mAh, which is larger than the 2,510mAh battery used on the Motorola Razr.
