Razr

June Wan/ZDNETWhen I reviewed Motorola's Razr Plus a month ago, I called it the best flipping foldable at the time. For the same price as last year's Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4, this time with just as big of an outside screen, an updated Qualcomm processor, and a base storage size increased from 128GB to 256GB?Well, you get one of the most competitive flip phone matchups yet  -- and a product comparison (such as this one) analyzing the most important differentiators that make each fold worthy of your consideration.

Samsung has taken the wraps off its latest clamshell-style foldable smartphone, the Galaxy Z Flip 5. The new handset's biggest change is a 3.4-inch cover display that is significantly larger than the 1.9-inch outer panel on last year's Galaxy Z Flip 4. This should generally make the device more convenient when it's folded up, as there's now more space to reply to texts, check notifications, take selfies and the like. Other upgrades include a faster Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset and a redesigned hinge that makes the whole…

The world of foldable smartphones is about to witness a fierce faceoff as Samsung gears up to launch its latest offering, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 during Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event. With rivals like Oppo Find N2 Flip and Moto Razr 40 Ultra vying for the top spot, Samsung seems determined to hold its ground and stay ahead of the competition. Leaks and rumors have already given us a glimpse of what the Z Flip 5 might have in store, and it looks like an exciting upgrade over its predecessor.One of the most notable changes in…

It's been about a month since the vanilla Motorola Razr 40 was released, and we finally get to play with it in the office. Motorola went with a lineup release instead of a single smartphone release this year, and we can see the logic behind it. The Razr 40 Ultra combines the latest and greatest from Motorola at a price premium, while the vanilla Razr 40 is a toned-down version of the same phone with considerably lower pricing. The Razr 40 will cater to users looking for the clamshell foldable form factor without…

Joe Maring/Digital Trends Motorola’s latest clamshell foldable, the Motorola Razr Plus, has won well-deserved praise for its design and the functionally rewarding cover screen that occupies almost one-half of the rear panel. In my brief time with the phone, I felt that Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 5 will have a hard time beating this one. Praise aside, it looks like the Razr Plus’ top selling point could also be its undoing. Zack Nelson of JerryRigEverything put the phone through his customarily brutal stress and…

Last month Motorola made the Razr 40 Ultra foldable smartphone official for international markets, and the same device is being marketed in the US as the Razr+. It's one and the same, so when Zack from the JerryRigEverything YouTube channel performs his trademark durability test on a Razr+, know that if you aren't in North America what you're seeing applies to the Razr 40 Ultra as well. Now that we got that necessary bit of clarification out of the way (thanks, Motorola!), let's get right to it. As usual, Zack subjects…

Change can be good or bad, and while Motorola as a company has seen its fair share of change, the Razr series of phones which was first released in 2004, has also evolved quite a bit. Fans of the original RAZR V3, which mainly includes millennials (including myself), might find the not-so “edgy” design of the latest Razr 40 Ultra iconic, it still is a very important step in the evolution of the foldable smartphone. I've been using Motorola's top-end and most premium smartphone in India for about two weeks and here's why I…

Moto Razr 40 Ultra bend testThe Moto Razr 40 Ultra (Razr+) goes through JerryRigEverything’s durability test of scratches, burns and lots of bending (wink wink). Starting with the scratch test, the Moto Razr 40 Ultra’s interior 6.9-inch FHD+ display gives out very early at just level two with more visible scratches at three. This is with a screen protector that comes with the phone. The 3.6-inch cover display does a much better job by showing scratches only at level seven. The cover display could also withstand the…

Last updated: July 20th, 2023 at 17:36 UTC+02:00 Motorola’s Razr series appears to have gained some durability ever since the original 2019 foldable flip phone was introduced. But even though Motorola kept honing its foldable device every year to compete with the Galaxy Z Flip series, the new and glitzy Razr 40 Ultra still seems to cut some corners, which can lead to unexpected failures in durability tests. A JerryRigEverything stress test starring the Razr 40 Ultra, a.k.a. the Razr+, has revealed what seems to be a…
