Motorola Razr 40 Ultra

Battery life lasts a day – decent considering capacity ; Biggest cover display of any flip phone ; Cover display is highly functional ; Eye-catching and colourful design

Usual screen 'crease' and reflection issues ; Battery life not great for power users ; Cameras aren't spectacular ; Can get incredibly hot

If you're in the market for a clamshell foldable then Motorola has created a shining new star in the Razr 40 Ultra – knocking even the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 out of orbit. But there are caveats: the inevitable screen crease, along with fingerprint...

Fun, slim, lightweight design ; Best-in-class cover screen ; IP54 resistance and wireless charging make the cut

Cameras aren’t best-in-class ; Less water-resistant than Z Flip 4 ; Pricier than competition

A fantastic flip phone and a return to form for the RAZR line, even if its camera doesn’t always hit the mark.

Excellent outer display ; Dust and water-resistant ; Good battery life (for a flip phone)

Older chipset ; Cameras are good, but not great ; Outer screen software needs some fine-tuning

The Razr 40 Ultra is a technical tour de force from Motorola, combining an overhauled design with improved durability and better battery. It’s totally unique among flip phones (for now), but comes with some familiar camera compromises.

Exquisite design ; Small hinge crease ; Excellent battery life

Stagnant performance ; Price increase over previous model

If Motorola had forked out for the newer Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, we’d likely be talking about crowning a new king of the flip phones. As it stands, offering last year’s performance at this year’s prices is a tricky position to be in, especially...

Fun, slim, lightweight design ; Best-in-class cover screen ; IP54 resistance and wireless charging make the cut

Cameras aren’t best-in-class ; Less water-resistant than Z Flip 4 ; Pricier than competition

A fantastic flip phone and a return to form for the RAZR line, even if its camera doesn’t always hit the mark.

pros ; Best outer display software ; Very good performance ; Camera quality is awesome

Slow charging ; Main display is not very bright ; Phone seems slightly bent when fully opened

So the Moto Razr 40 Ultra is, hands down, one of the best flip phones out there. I absolutely love how Motorola has done the outer display and this is an implementation that actually will make people flip open their smartphones much less, resulting in...

Largest cover screen on a flip (3.6in) that’s both high quality and actually useful ; Huge and good looking 6.9in foldable internal screen with a very high 165Hz refresh rate ; Thinnest of all flip-type foldable-screen phones available in Australia...

Battery life is reasonable but still may struggle to manage a full day under heavy use ; Big outer screen is a fingerprint magnet

The Razr 40 Ultra has a winning combination of features including a huge 3.6-inch outer screen, a versatile camera system, powerful processor and is the thinnest flip on the market.

The Motorola Razr 40 Ultra has a big beautiful external display that has nearly all the same functionality of the inner display. This cover display makes the phone useful in every configuration and the current best flip phone in our foldable market.
