Third-party reviews

Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about Motorola Razr 40 Ultra (8GB + 256GB)

  • Large, functional, and impressive external cover display that supports full apps, reducing the need to open the phone frequently.
  • Great main display with vibrant colors, high brightness (up to 1400 nits peak), a smooth 165Hz refresh rate, and a less noticeable crease compared to competitors.
  • Sleek, premium, and compact design when folded, with quality materials like an aluminum frame and stainless steel hinge.
  • Smooth and fast overall performance for daily tasks and gaming due to the powerful Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor.
  • Clean, near-stock Android software experience with useful Moto Actions gestures and minimal bloatware.
  • Decent main camera performance in good lighting, with features like optical image stabilization (OIS) and the ability to use the main camera for high-quality selfies via the cover screen.
  • Good battery life that can last a full day, with some users even reporting two days of use with heavy reliance on the cover screen.
  • Inclusion of useful accessories in the box, such as a charger and a two-part case.
  • IP52 splash and dust resistance rating, offering better dust protection than some rivals.
  • Excellent call quality and clear stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support.

What we don't like about Motorola Razr 40 Ultra (8GB + 256GB)

  • The camera system, particularly in low light or challenging conditions, is considered average and a weak point compared to other flagship phones in the same price range.
  • Aggressive thermal throttling and a tendency for the phone to get warm during prolonged heavy use like gaming.
  • Limited software support, typically only three years of OS updates, which is less than what competitors like Samsung offer.
  • Average battery capacity compared to the non-folding Razr 40, leading to shorter battery life with heavy main screen usage.
  • Slow wireless charging speed at only 5W.
  • No telephoto camera and a less-wide ultra-wide angle camera compared to other premium phones.
  • Lack of a microSD card slot for expandable storage.
  • The internal screen is considered potentially fragile and can be susceptible to scratches or damage if not handled carefully.
  • Aggressive battery management features can interfere with consistent app functionality, such as smartwatches disconnecting.

Verdict

The Motorola Razr 40 Ultra (8GB + 256GB) is a premium flip phone that merges an iconic, pocketable design with powerful, modern specs, featuring the flagship Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor. Its main characteristics include an expansive, virtually creaseless 6.9-inch foldable pOLED display with a super-smooth 165Hz refresh rate and an exceptionally large, fully functional 3.6-inch pOLED external display (144Hz). Key pros are the versatile, best-in-class external screen that can run full apps, a high-quality main internal display, and an overall fluid, near-stock Android 13 experience. It includes a capable dual-camera system (12MP main with OIS + 13MP ultrawide/macro) which can be used for high-quality selfies via the cover screen. Cons include an average 3800mAh battery life that may not last two full days with heavy use, an only an IP52 water-repellent rating (not fully waterproof), and camera performance that, while good in bright light, struggles slightly in low-light conditions compared to traditional flagships in the same price range.
