The Razr 40 Ultra hasn’t improved on charge speed, charging at the same 30W as its predecessor. Considering the Find N2 Flip’s 44W charging provides a 50% charge in 24 minutes, it would’ve been nice to see a bump in charge speed here — especially considering the Motorola Edge 40 Pro boasts rapid 125W charging tech. Fusion Curve is designed to be optically clear, so it looks just like your phone’s original screen. The hinge mechanism isn’t as solid as that of the Galaxy Z Flip 4 or Z Fold 4, but unlike Samsung’s foldables, the Razr 40 Ultra shuts flat with no gap. It also stays part-open between around 45º and 140º. That means you can use the camera app to get a steadied shot, or watch optimised video apps like YouTube, angling the screen for comfortable viewing. Practically speaking, the specs translate to near-top-tier gaming. We could get away with 30 minutes of Genshin Impact with just a few frames dropped at near-max graphics settings, and heat wasn’t a big issue unless hammering gaming and hotspot use simultaneously. Where the Razr edges ahead of the Galaxy Z Flip 4 is its storage. It starts with 256GB – double that of the Z Flip – and that’s matched with 8GB RAM. If you don’t think that’ll be enough, those specs climb up to 512GB storage and 12GB RAM, though there’s no SD card slot.

It is an improvement over the Razr 2022 which had no kind of protection, and it does admittedly do an admirable job at protecting from dust ingress, but it still makes me a little worried about getting water on/near the phone – something I’ve not had to worry about with candybar smartphones for a while now. Cameras The Razr 40 Ultra sets a new bar in the clamshell foldable market with not only significant improvements to the hinge, and thus the crease, but with one of the most capable external displays around. As for the battery, while the Razr 40 Ultra’s capacity can’t touch the current clamshell champ, the OPPO Find N2 Flip with its best-in-class 4300mAh cell, the Razr’s 3800mAh of power does a great job of getting us through a full day.Rome Tech's Motorola Razr+ 2023 / Motorola Razr 40 Ultra case with belt clip offers reliable phone protection with its superior craftsmanship and high-quality materials. Meticulously manufactured, the case provides excellent defense against scratches, impacts, and other potential damage. With its combination of quality materials and stylish aesthetics, Rome Tech ensures that your device is not only protected but also looks great. Audio performance is also rather strong with decent amounts of volume delivered from the clamshell’s stereo speaker setup, and Dolby Atmos support on offer when listening to music via headphones further enhances the experience.

The latter isn’t ideal, of course, but it’s still possible, and that’s what I love so much about the form factor.

The Razr 40 Ultra’s cover screen is a massive 3.6in, and thanks to its square shape, it has a much larger surface area than longer cover screens on Oppo and Samsung flip phones. Drop Protection: Bridgetown has been tested and proven to protect your phone from drops up to 10 feet (3 meters). 1 In fact, while the numbers aren’t category-leading, we got the best battery performance of any flip phone with the Razr 40 Ultra, provided we didn’t use the main display too much – easily done given how usable the cover screen is. Whether choosing songs or playlists, reading messages in Gmail or WhatsApp, or even firing up one of Moto’s cover screen games, we could enjoy a smartphone-rich day without opening up the Razr more than a handful of times. This had a massive impact on battery life, helping us eke two days out of the phone on one occasion. Navigation gestures are a bit fiddly on the cover screen, and you can’t independently activate navigation buttons on it, and gestures on the main display. This is something Motorola should look into, but that doesn’t take away from the responsiveness of the front display. It’s also a solid everyday performer with the inclusion of a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, though the year-old chipset doesn’t look great on paper, and while the 3800mAh cell is an increase on the Razr 2022, it has to power larger internal and external displays. As a result, it’s a phone that’ll just about get you through a day’s use, but it’s certainly not a two-day phone.

No, instead, the smartphone sports the (nearly one-year-old) Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset — the same as that found in the previous-gen Razr (2022) and other 2022 foldables like Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 4. Surprisingly considering the smartphone’s ‘Ultra’ moniker that usually suggests the best of the best, the chipset found within the Razr 40 Ultra isn’t the most powerful one that money can buy. Contains anti-microbial properties that protect the screen protector by inhibiting the growth of odor-causing bacteria and guarding against degradation from microogranisms.* Fusion Curve is your silent partner in adventure, preserving your phone’s screen so nothing slows you down. This powerful impact and scratch protection is crafted to fit every inch of your curved screen.Unflip it, and the 40 Ultra’s main display unfurls. Thanks to its tall 22:9 aspect ratio and 6.9in size, it’s a reach, to say the least, and with its pOLED screen tech and wide Full HD resolution, Moto’s display also showcases a fine-looking picture. We used it in direct sunlight without any issues – unsurprising given the peak brightness of 1400 nits, and thanks to good viewing angles and a super-smooth 165Hz refresh rate, the Razr 40 Ultra screens impress inside and out.
