Just like last year’s Razr and the Galaxy Z Flip 4, Motorola’s latest clamshell has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset. In itself, that’s no bad thing. The 8+ Gen 1 is a tried and tested foldable champ and can handle pretty intensive gaming even in slender contenders. Boasting pOLED tech and an incredible 144Hz refresh rate not seen on any other clamshell, the exterior display sits in a league of its own. It has a dual camera cutout in the bottom-right or top-left depending on your orientation, which can sometimes get in the way, but it’s something I think most people will happily live with. The main 12MP camera is also of note, with OIS and an f/1.5 aperture not only delivering crisp images during the day but in low-light conditions too, though the latter can suffer from a slightly misjudged focus without any kind of laser autofocus tech. Still, it’s a capable snapper that you can use to take selfies thanks to the folding form factor of the phone. Battery life is one area where the Razr 40 Ultra could do with a bit of improvement. Sure, it’s a slightly larger 3800mAh cell than the 3500mAh Razr 2022, but the Razr 40 Ultra has both a larger internal and external display to power. It’s worth noting that it’s also smaller than the cheaper Razr 40, which boasts the same 4300mAh cell as the Oppo Find N2 Flip. Motorola made some bold choices with the Razr 40 Ultra, streamlining its shape and differentiating with style. But while looks are the phone’s standout quality, it also gets the basics right. Between the big, attention-grabbing cover screen and improvements to the Razr’s build versus its 2022 predecessor, not to mention its nippy internals, clean interface, and rich feature set, the 40 Ultra is a very good phone.

Of course, it is all about the displays with foldables, so let’s start with that outer panel. It’s the largest of any clamshell foldable now measuring in at a whopping 3.6 inches, and it’s not simply a big screen either.The phone runs Android 13 with a handful of Motorola customizations. From gestures to launch the camera or turn on the torch, through to always-on display settings and cover screen customizations, Moto balances a streamlined experience with flourishes very well. The standout design highlight is the Razr 40 Ultra’s cover screen. It becomes a bold feature, with an almost mirror finish until it lights up. 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. 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. The crease, on the other hand, is somewhat of a masterpiece. It’s just about there if you look at it off-angle and try and catch it in the light but, looking straight on, you’d barely tell that the display could fold in half. It’s a similar story with the hinge — you can notice something when running your finger over the crease but it doesn’t feel noticeable or intrusive.

Antimicrobial Treatment: Contains an antimicrobial agent with properties built in to protect your case by inhibiting the growth of odor-causing bacteria. 3 Contains anti-microbial properties that protect the screen protector by inhibiting the growth of odor-causing bacteria and guarding against degradation from microogranisms.* 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.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. Drop Protection: Bridgetown has been tested and proven to protect your phone from drops up to 10 feet (3 meters). 1 Hinge Design: The Bridgetown case is specially designed for hinged phones like the Motorola Razr. It covers the hinge so you get complete drop protection.

I will say that while it’s almost completely gapless, you do still see a slither of light shine through when holding it up against bright light, but it’s a massive step forward from the rather large gap found in the 2022 Razr, and I’ve found that it’s enough to seriously reduce the amount of dust and detritus that builds up on that inner foldable display compared to other foldables I’ve used. It’s also noticeably taller than other phones, even 6.8-inch panels like the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, thanks to a tall-and-narrow 22:9 aspect ratio. I didn’t have any complaints about actually using the display, though it did feel a bit long – like I was holding a remote control – at times. It’s also just a well-built, good-looking smartphone with the choice of either vegan leather or glass on the rear, and it’s available in some stunning colour options including Viva Magenta, Pantone’s colour of the year in 2023. The pinky-red finish is absolutely stunning, with a shiny aluminium frame in a complementary shade. 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.

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.

Don't settle for anything less than the best - choose Rome Tech Motorola Razr Plus 2023 / Motorola Razr 40 Ultra holster today! 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. Getting into specifics, the Razr scored 1765 single-core and 4500 multi-core in Geekbench, and 2313 in 3Dmark Wild Life Extreme. That matches up with the Z Flip 4 and outperforms the Find N2 Flip, once again, keeping things competitive – until the Z Flip 5 launches, at least. The latter isn’t ideal, of course, but it’s still possible, and that’s what I love so much about the form factor. 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.
