Foldable smartphones are all the rage in 2023, and it looks like flip phones are the way to go. Motorola just announced its two latest clamshell foldables in India, after launching them in China last month. Of the two foldables, the Motorola Razr 40 Ultra is the more premium phone. It has a large 3.6-inch cover display and is powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor. The Razr 40 is more affordable, and it packs the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 processor. Here are their pricing and specifications.
Motorola Razr 40 Ultra
The Motorola Razr 40 Ultra is a more premium offering in the series and the company is pitting it against the likes of Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Oppo Find N2 Flip. The smartphone brings a 6.79-inch main pOLED display with an FHD+ resolution, a 165Hz refresh rate, 1,400 nits peak brightness, and support for HDR10+. The major highlight of the smartphone is its large 3.6-inch cover display, which practically lets you do everything you do on the main screen. The secondary display is limited to a 144Hz refresh rate and gets Gorilla Glass 7 protection.
The hinge on the foldable is supposed to let it fold flat without any gap. The Motorola Razr 40 Ultra features a 12MP OIS-enabled main sensor paired with a 13MP ultra-wide and macro lens on the rear. For selfies, you get a 32MP shooter on the front.
As mentioned, the device gets the older but capable Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC, paired with up to 12GB RAM and 512GB onboard storage. It packs a 3,800mAh battery with support for 30W fast charging. The device runs Android 13 (a cleaner near-stock version) and features an IP52 splash-resistance rating. The smartphone offers 5G, WiFi-6E, Bluetooth 5.3, USB-C port, and NFC.

For clicking pictures, there’s a 64MP main camera with OIS alongside a 13MP ultrawide sensor. The front-facing sensor is the same 32MP one. The Motorola Razr 40 is powered by a Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 processor, accompanied by up to 12GB RAM and 256GB storage. The flip phone is fueled by a larger 4,200mAh battery unit with support for 30W wired and 8W wireless charging.
