Faqs

1) What is Motor Razr 40, Razr 40 Ultra pricing?

Ans) A recent price leak on Amazon inadvertently revealed the price of the upcoming Moto Razr 40. The phone will most likely cost Rs 59,999. There are talks that the Ultra model, which as known to all is a pricier model, will cost around Rs 80,000 to the buyers.

2) What are Motor Razr 40, Razr 40 Ultra specs?

Ans) The flagship model in the Razr series is the Razr 40 Ultra which has a more powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 processor and an expansive 3.6-inch cover display. It features a large 6.69-inch 1080p LTPO AMOLED display with a fast 165Hz refresh rate and peak brightness of up to 1,400nits.

The back of the device is made of durable Corning Gorilla Glass Victus, while the frame is crafted from 7000-series aluminum. The teardrop hinge design is seamless and enhances the overall aesthetic appeal. Additionally, the phone has an IP52 water-repellent rating.

In terms of camera capabilities, the Razr 40 Ultra features a dual-camera setup on the back, consisting of a 12MP main sensor and a 13MP ultrawide lens that can also function as a macro lens. On the front, there is a high-resolution 32MP camera for capturing stunning selfies.

The device houses a 3,800mAh battery that supports 30W wired charging and 5W wireless charging.

On the other hand, the Razr 40 offers a slightly smaller package with a 6.9-inch LTPO AMOLED screen, 1080p resolution, and a 144Hz refresh rate. Its cover screen measures 1.5 inches. The phone is equipped with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 processor and a 4,200mAh battery. In terms of photography, it features a 64MP main camera and a 13MP ultrawide lens, while the front houses a 32MP selfie camera.

3) What are Moto Razr 40 First Impressions?

Ans) The Razr 40 is available in three colours: Sage Green, Summer Lilac, and Vanilla Cream. While all three colourways look quite stunning, we spent most of our time with the Lilac variant. Looking at the pricing difference, it’s quite obvious the younger sibling had to cut some corners. It misses out on a larger cover screen from the Ultra variant but gets a 1.47-inch display instead.

This cover screen immediately reminded us of the Galaxy Z Flip, which had a slightly smaller screen estate. The screen is still useful as it displays recent notifications, contacts, weather details, event details, music, peek display (wannabe always-on), and more. We are yet to check if it allows you to pick up phone calls or reply to texts, though it seems very unlikely.

Unfortunately, the cover screen cannot help you take selfies by displaying a viewfinder. Instead, it displays funny little emoji wallpapers, not useful but still fun. It’s an AMOLED panel that refreshes at 60Hz with a peak brightness of 1000 nits.

The entire screen module protrudes a bit, with two circular cameras accompanying it. It features a 64-megapixel primary camera and a 13-megapixel ultra-wide angle camera. The in-hand experience is quite sophisticated, partially thanks to the faux-leather finish at the back. It has slightly curved sides, which help with the grip. The right side of the device features a volume rocker and a power button which doubles up as a fingerprint sensor.

The Razr 40 is IP52 rated, which means it’s not just water but dust resistant. This is perhaps the first time we see any dust resistance in a foldable, so it’s a pretty big deal.
Motorola has chosen to keep the branding minimal, with a shiny logo on the bottom portion. There’s no extra flamboyance on the hinges. Speaking of which, while the hinge is designed to hold the display for watching content, taking selfies, and more — we found it to be a bit stiffer than the one on the Ultra. When folded, there’s no visible gap on the sides, which is good.

Upon opening the phone, we were greeted by a tall 6.9-inch LTPO OLED display with relatively minimal crease. It features a punch hole cutout at the top, holding a 32-megapixel selfie camera in place. The panel has a refresh rate 144Hz, so the animations were buttery smooth.

The Razr 40 is powered by a Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chipset, the only phone with this processor in India, as of now. As mentioned, it comes in a lone 8GB LPPDDR4X RAM and 256GB UFS 2.2 storage variant. It packs in a 4,200mAh battery inside with support for 30W wired charging and 8W wireless charging.

4) What are Moto Razr 40 and Razr 40 Ultra First Impressions: Initial thoughts?

Ans) Both the Razr 40 siblings are, without a doubt, promising offerings from the house of Motorola. The Moto Razr 40 is the cheapest and more accessible clamshell foldable on the market, and its only competitor is the year-old Galaxy Z Flip 3.

While Motorola had to cut some corners in the processing and cover display department, it’s still a good offering for someone who always wanted to flaunt a foldable.
The larger battery should help the Razr 40 breathe for extended hours.
On the other hand, the Razr 40 Ultra’s selling point is its massive outer screen. Motorola wants you to stick to the cover screen for almost all of your tasks, and we don’t have an issue with that.

5) What are the Pros & Cons of the Motorola Razr 40 Ultra ?

Ans) Pros

* Great display and software Strong battery performance Competitive price for the spec Cover/exterior display is really useful

Cons

* Camera results could improve Wireless charging is slow
