Reviews for the Motorola Razr 40
小巧的外部显示屏、稍慢的 SoC 处理速度和一些高端功能的削减,使这款可折叠智能手机的售价低于 800 美元。摩托罗拉 Razr 40 填补了智能手机市场的空白,其时尚的外观可能会引起轰动。

There are a couple of ways you can look at the Razr 40. One of those is just as an expensive mid-range phone, with a less-than-stellar pair of cameras and a processor that's not quite as good as the Snapdragon 8 series models. The other way to think of this is as an important moment in the evolution of foldable smartphones. It's the first time we've seen a brand new flexible smartphone land at such a competitive price point, and one that really sets a marker down for competitors to follow. Despite its middling cameras, it's still a great device to use. It's small and portable, features a great-looking set of vegan leather colours and finishes, plus has one of the biggest, brightest and most vibrant displays on any foldable. And I think those positives far outweigh any perceived negatives around the camera or processor.

A mid-range foldable phone is a great idea but the Motorola Razr 40 makes a few too many sacrifices to make it a viable alternative to some of the pricier, far better competitors. The battery life is great though.

The Motorola Razr 40 makes a folding phone a more affordable option, compared to the higher prices of the Razr 40 Ultra, and Samsung’s folding phones. There are some benefits to photographers, as the phone can use used as it’s own stand, and you can use the main cameras for selfies, rather than the lower quality internal camera. However, in comparison to non-folding phones, there is a lack of third telephoto camera, and this means you really do have to love the idea of a folding phone to go for this, rather than a standard phone, as you are paying a premium for this phone, but not getting a premium camera setup. This means the Motorola Razr 40 is stuck in the awkward position of being expensive for a mid-range camera phone, and somewhat underwhelming when compared to flagship smartphones.

Motorola’s attempt at a mid-range foldable cuts too many corners. While it has a premium, bright 6.9-inch internal display, its tiny external display isn’t as useful (or as big) as rival flip-phones. Camera performance is also lacking, but battery life is a standout for this form-factor.

Motorola may have lost some of the Razr charm by going with a Galaxy Flip-esque design but it doesn’t matter much on what is otherwise a very successful folding phone. What was a luxury purchase in the smartphone world is now a normal option thanks to the Razr 40’s £799 asking price. That makes it cheaper than many regular flagships. And despite this price, the Razr 40 has some impressive specs including decent AMOLED displays, long lasting battery life and a solid software experience. There’s even wireless charging, albeit very slow. There are, of course, downsides to consider here when comparing to the Razr 40 Ultra and rivals. The Snapdragon 7 chip isn’t the fastest, there’s no proper waterproofing and the cameras aren’t overly impressive. However, all of this is acceptable to get a flip phone at a reasonable price, meaning the Razr 40 is currently the best folding phone for the masses.

Are foldables going to be the new smartphone normal? Doubtful. Motorola’s bid for a cheaper (if not that much cheaper) flip phone tries to broaden their appeal, but sadly misses the mark. Its external display simply lacks enough utility in 2023. And I’m not sure who is willing to spend this much money on a phone that's already two years behind the curve. However, Motorola has yet to announce pricing or a launch date in the US. If the Razr were to cost $800 or lower, which would be closer to a Galaxy S23 or iPhone 14, it could find an audience. But for most people intrigued by a foldable flip-phone, they would be better served hunting down a discounted Galaxy Z Flip 4.

Having a phone with a big screen is great for the most part, until you need to fit it into a pocket alongside your keys, wireless earbuds case, and anything else you carry regularly. Where the Motorola Razr 40 shines is as an example of having your cake and eating it too. With its sleek foldable design, you get a large, vibrant display in the form of something that actually fits comfortably in your pair of jeans, chinos, etc. It’s not as powerful as other flip devices, like its premium Razr 40 Ultra sibling, and its cover display isn’t as useful as larger iterations. However, $999 at launch is a sweet spot for the features and convenience the base Razr 40 offers in an emerging form factor. For power users who need extra performance and a larger cover display, the Ultra is for you. Otherwise, the Motorola Razr 40 is a sleek foldable flip phone that fits into your life for less than $1,000.

I love the Motorola Razr 40. There’s very little fuss or pretentiousness to it, and it’s so much better for it. The compact flip design is its big feature, and Motorola has done the right thing by not overcomplicating everything else — and keeping the price down. This is a pick-up-and-use-every-day smartphone, with no need to learn dozens of features you’ll probably never use . And you also won’t be bothered by crushingly short battery life, or be upset by a rubbish camera. It’s reliable, good-looking, and fun. Using the Razr 40 for the last few weeks has been great, as it’s so convenient to carry around and use. On the negative side, I am frustrated by the decision to not make the cover screen show the time and notification alerts all the time, the wireless charging is a bit of a token effort, and the processor doesn’t seem to enjoy being pushed hard.

So all things considered the Motorola Razr 40 can stand its ground successfully against most competitors with the 2022 Galaxy Z Flip4 perhaps the only one to edge its value for money proposition. However odds are it two won't be easy to find in a couple of months as Samsung focuses on the Flip5 and if the Razr 40 manages to shave some more euros from its price as did its predecessor it will find itself in the comfortable position of being the cheapest-but-still-great clamshell foldable. After all the Motorola Razr 40 is a modern foldable with exquisite design that is comfortable to hold and operate, too. The latter bits are surprisingly rare in the segment with the Galaxy Flip4 and Oppo Find N2 Flip being properly slippery device.

Motorola presented two foldables this year. Okay, nothing special you say, Samsung has been doing that for years. But Motorola offers two foldables with the same form factor—the clamshell design—from the Flip family. And Motorola is now competing with the South Korean company twice in this segment: once with the Razr+ (2023), with an extremely large and full-fledged outdoor display, and the Razr (2023) base model, which rather belongs to the inexpensive foldable category at just under 900 Euros (US pricing still pending). This is not only reflected in the 1.5-inch small external display, which primarily serves as a quick source of information but also in the upper mid-range processor, the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1. Nevertheless, it is completely sufficient for all everyday tasks, as well as computationally intensive games.

The phone has a vegan leather back and a metal frame. It also features a dual-camera setup with a 64-megapixel primary camera and a 13-megapixel ultra-wide camera. There is a 32-megapixel front camera inside the cutout of the foldable display. The Razr 40 features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 SoC and a 4,200mAh battery. The device supports 30W fast charging. Both Motorola foldable phones run on the latest Android 13-based MyUX out of the box. Should you consider buying the Razr 40 or its sibling, the Razr 40 Ultra? Stay tuned for our reviews of both smartphones, which will be up very soon on Gadgets 360.

The arrival of the Moto razr 40 has shown us a different side of the vertical folding machine. It not only improves the folding hinge, but also brings innovations at the functional level, such as cartoon photo assistants, turning on the camera, and live wallpapers of elf moments. After experiencing the function points, you can’t help but be amazed: it turns out that the secondary screen can still play like this! The hinge of the Moto razr 40 will not fall back after hovering every time. The whole operation is clean and neat, and the folding angle can reach more than 120 degrees. Using this feature, also enriches the shooting possibilities when using the rear camera Angle, taking pictures that can’t be captured by straight mobile phones.

Yes, after being absent for more than a year, the Moto RAZR is back, but with a far more logical approach, and in two new flavors for an added kick. See, now that the foldable novelty has worn off and flip phones have reached mainstream pricing, Motorola didn't just decide to catch up, but actually challenge every flip foldable we know in both pricing and features. I'm Jaime Rivera with Pocketnow and I've got some thoughts after spending some time with them.

Perhaps surprisingly, of the two new Razr 2023 models launched by Motorola, it was the cheaper Razr 40 we were drawn to. The vegan leather front and back covers make it a super tactile experience to hold, and the overall design and colours are really attractive.

We are slightly confused by the Razr (2023) / Razr+ (2023) split. The one we are looking at here is obviously meant to be the more "budget" choice, but we can't say that €900 is exactly budget range. For that price, you are definitely taking a hit in specs and external display for usability. So, it's definitely a phone for people that really, really want a foldable. But then, the Galaxy Z Flip 4 also hovers around that price and seems to offer... a bit more value? Though, we can definitely see the Razr (2023) drawing in its own fans. That leathery finish is fantastic, and not everybody wants a super-fast processor. It will all hang on the camera performance and battery life, when it comes to it.

The Motorola Razr+ and Motorola Razr (2023) have come a long way from the original Razr V3. This year's foldable family features the largest-ever external display and possibility the lower-ever price for a flexible phone. We go hands-on with both new devices to discuss the key specs, differences in design, camera features and more.

Today, Motorola announced not one but two new additions to its iconic phone line with the 2023 Razr and Razr+. Packing a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip and a 3.5-inch exterior display – which Motorola says is the biggest on any foldable phone on sale right now – the Razr+ is the more premium while the standard Razr has the potential to be a great entry-level gadget for people new to foldables. Unfortunately, there’s still no word on a price or release date for the basic Razr, but with the Razr+ slated to go on sale on June 23rd for $1,000 we should know a lot more about that model real soon.

Depending on the official price, the Motorola Razr (2023) could make foldable phones far more accessible to customers who can’t or don’t want to spend $1,000. It’s too early to say whether the company made smart choices with the trade-offs compared to the Razr+, though.

That very much feels like Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 4 and is also one of the reasons I personally am not a fan of most flip phone designs. But for some, as our Andrew Romero commented on last year, that’s actually a perk, and Motorola even mentioned this device is in part made for the “digital minimalist.” What’s really exciting about this device is just that it’s going to be cheaper. Motorola tells us that the Razr (2023) will be “meaningfully cheaper” than the Razr+. To me, that reads as at least $200 less, and even the possibility of buying a brand-new foldable for $799, should that be the actual price, is a huge step forward for this technology. Of course, we’ll have to wait and see what Motorola considers “meaningful.”

While our time with the Motorola Razr Plus and Razr (2023) was brief, it was enough of a taste to know that the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip finally has real competition in the US. Motorola’s massive external display brings more full-fledged features to the Razr than ever — and more complete app experiences than other clamshell devices can match. Yes, early rumors suggest that Samsung is headed for a larger external display with its Galaxy Z Flip 5, but for now, Motorola can bask in the glow of having the largest display on the market. So far, it’s shaping up to be the Summer of Motorola in a way the company hasn’t seen for years. The Razr Plus and Razr (2023) follow Motorola’s excellent traditional flagship, the Edge Plus (2023), and they feel good enough to make us ignore the fact that we had to wait several years between Razr launches.

Motorola’s made some bold choices with the Razr 40 Ultra, taking its overall clamshell shape in a more Samsung and Oppo direction, while differentiating not with camera specs or extra power, but with style – and plenty of it. Between that big, attention-grabbing cover screen, the zingy Viva Magenta colour option, and improvements to the Razr’s build versus its 2022 predecessor, you could argue away some concerns over the camera. Costing $999/£1099, though, you’d also be justified in expecting an across-the-board great phone – so let’s see what Samsung drops as its Z Flip successor – in the meantime, the Viva Magenta Razr 40 Ultra is definitely the most standout, stylized flip phone we’ve tested to date.

The Moto Razr+ (2023) will be available for $999.99 on June 23 (unlocked) from Motorola, Amazon, and Best Buy. AT&T and T-Mobile will also be selling this handset, but not Verizon. If you want to get a head start, pre-orders start on June 16. The Razr+ is available in Infinite Black and Glacier Blue with a matte glass back, and Viva Magenta with a vegan leather back exclusively from Motorola and T-Mobile. Moto has not shared pricing and availability for the Razr (2023) yet, but it will be more affordable than the Razr+. It’s coming in three colors – Sage Green, Vanilla Cream, and Summer Lilac – with a vegan leather front and back.
