After months of rumors and teasers, Motorola went ahead and announced its next generation of foldable phones in China. This new lineup consists of the flagship Motorola Razr 40 Ultra with its grand 3.6-inch cover display and Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset. There’s also a more affordable entry with the Motorola Razr 40 which is powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 SoC and a less spacious 1.5-inch cover-screen.

Motorola Razr 40 Unveiled
Razr 40 also boasts a 6.9-inch LTPO AMOLED screen with FHD+ resolution but dials the refresh rate slightly to 144Hz refresh rate. The cover screen measures in at 1.5-inches (194 x 368 pixels) and offers basic notifications management and can double as a viewfinder for the cameras.
Razr 40 retains the 7000-series aluminum frame and IP52 water-repellent rating of the Razr 40 Ultra but is a tad thicker (7.35mm unfolded and 15.8mm folded).
There’s a 64MP main cam (f/1.7, 0.7μm pixels) with OIS alongside a 13MP ultrawide sensor (f/2.2, 1.12μm pixels). The front facing sensor remains capped at 32MP.
Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 sits at the helm of the Razr 40 aided by 8/12GB RAM and 128/256GB UFS 2.2 storage. You do get a larger 4,200 mAh battery here with the same 30W fast wired charging and up to 5W wireless charging.
