Motorola unveiled the Moto Razr 40 in India, a month after its official debut. It has come along with the vanilla Razr 40 but garners most of the attention for its massive cover screen and much better specs and features. For starters, the Ultra is driven by a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip while the regular Razr 40 has Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 inside. The Ultra will be Motorola’s prime pick for the best folding phones of 2023. So, it will obviously go head to head with the forthcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5. Will the Motorola foldable be able to capitalize on its early entry into the market? That’s something we will know in time, but for now, let’s highlight the features and reasons we think it has a chance.
Motorola Razr 40 Ultra: What are its strengths?1. Motorola offers a large 3.6-inch 144Hz AMOLED display with HDR10+ colour coverage and 1100 nits of peak brightness. The screen wraps around the dual camera rings. You can get more out of this screen thanks to several custom software features. You can access apps, calendars, contacts, Spotify, weather apps, etc. You can also stretch certain compatible apps to fit the full screen. You can even access the quick settings menu and turn off the phone from here.
The main screen is a 6.9-inch 165Hz LTPO AMOLED panel with HDR10+ support and 1400 nits of peak brightness.

2. The newly improved hinge lets you prop up the device at different angles. It reduces the crease and lets you close the phone flatter. Another design feature is how clicking the side buttons can be configured to switch tracks, change volume and control the music playback.
3. The phone can be placed in a way that its base doubles as a tripod. You can also remotely trigger the shutter button through certain preset gestures and even use dual capture mode using both side cameras. You get a 12MP+13MP dual rear camera setup and 4K60 fps recording. Even the 32MP front camera offers the same resolution and fps for shooting videos.
4. The device comes with Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 which is still a powerful chipset in 2023. That coupled with oodles of memory should offer reliable performance or so we hope. The 3080mAh battery is on par with what its counterparts have. This is backed by 30W fast charging.
5. The rest of the feature set including WiFi 6e, Bluetooth 5.3, USB-C port, and unique software features like Retro Razr and Moto Gestures should be interesting too. You also get Gorilla Glass Victus on the front and back (when closed). But, there is no IP rating that the Samsung foldables boast.

The rumoured specifications of the Galaxy Z Flip 5 are mostly a notch ahead of the Razr. Going by these alleged specs itself, the Razr 40 Ultra is ahead in terms of a higher-megapixel selfie camera along with a video recording option, and slightly faster charging speed. Now, we will have a clear idea once the Galaxy Z Flip 5 arrives. If Motorola manages to undercut the Samsung foldable, then that could work in its favour. It has been priced at ₹89,999. The regular Razr 40 is available at ₹59,999. As a launch offer, you can get ₹7000 discount whilst using ICICI bank cards for the purchase of both these phones. Additionally, there is up to ₹15,000 Jio benefits (applicable on both). The pre-booking starts today on Amazon and sale starts July 15.
