Motorola's on a roll with great phones in 2023, so does the MotorolaRazr40 continue that trend? We've found out, and it's good news.
Motorola Razr 40 MSRP $1,040.00 Score Details DT Recommended Product “The light and attractive Motorola Razr 40 is the ideal convenience-first smartphone for every day use, with its folding design, good camera, fast charging, and decent durability.” Pros Cons Compact folding smartphones are becoming more complicated as cover screens get bigger and they gain the ability to run full apps, but the Motorola Razr 40 — also known as the Razr in the U.S.
Motorola Razr 40: design The last Motorola foldable I used was the Motorola Razr , and the Razr 40 is miles ahead of it in terms of build quality, materials, and design. Ditching the played-out nods to the past it seemed intent on endlessly embracing has given Motorola freedom, and this has lent the Razr 40 its own identity.
It’s just 188 grams, which is light for a modern phone, 7.5mm thick when unfolded, and although it’s 15.8mm thick folded up, the small, square shape masks it really well. It’s incredibly freeing to use a phone that folds up to half its size when it’s not in use, and refreshing to see Motorola give its new range of folding phones a real design identity of their own.
Previous Next 1 of 3 I’m reviewing the Razr 40 after the Nothing Phone 2, which has a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, and I have not noticed any real performance difference between them for daily tasks. However, it can get quite warm when playing games , shooting video, and when really pushing the phone with multiple apps. It’s not all of the time, though, suggesting the heat buildup may have to do with software optimization, so updates may improve it in the future.
There’s not always much consistency of exposure between the main and wide-angle camera, but I like the more dramatic tone of the Razr 40’s wide-angle, and the inconsistency is no worse than many other phone cameras at this price. Even the macro camera can take good photos, but the lack of autofocus makes it hit-or-miss if you capture one. Video is fine in good light, but it’s choppy in poor light, and when recording, the viewfinder stutters unnervingly.
Previous Next 1 of 6 According to Motorola, the Razr 40 is going to get some decent ongoing update support. It’s promising three years of major OS updates and four years of security updates. This is shorter than what Samsung and OnePlus offer, but it matches Google’s support and is reasonable for an upper midrange phone.
The Motorola Razr 40 supports 30-watt charging, and using the included Turbo Power charger block and USB cable, it took 30 minutes to reach around 70% — and on to fully charged in approximately 50 minutes. This is practically half the time it takes to recharge the Galaxy Z Flip 4, and even faster than the Oppo Find N2 Flip. However, phones like the OnePlus 11 charge much faster.
