The Motorola Razr 40, a basic model in the Razr 40 series, offers an affordable flip phone with a camera that excels in watching Netflix, selfies, and close-up photography. However, it faces challenges like longer charging times and camera performance issues. Despite these, the Razr 40 remains a strong choice for its unisex appeal and affordability.

First the primary purpose of taking a flip phone was to minimize my smartphone usage and I have succeeded in it to some extent by using the external display. Also, I wanted vanilla android (as I have a good experience with Pixel devices), as such Motorola Flip was an obvious choice apart from Samsung’s flip devices.Here are my impressions of this phone:BUILD: Build quality is good, however, it can no way match the quality of usual one-piece devices. As such, people who use their phones roughly shouldn’t purchase this phone. Same holds true for people with butter fingers as this device wouldn’t survive too many drops.DISPLAY: External display is pretty useful. You can take or make calls; however, they will be on loudspeaker mode. For making calls, only contacts in your favorite’s will be available and you have to selects contacts widget from external display settings first. You can also read messages and emails but you can’t respond to them.The internal display is huge and colours are nice (if saturated mode is selected) but a downgrade in comparison to my Samsung Note 10 which I used earlier. TAKE MOTOROLA’S CREASELESS CLAIM WITH A PINCH OF SALT, the crease is fairly obvious and will not bother you after sometime.CALLS: The cellular reception is excellent and the call quality is great. No call drops for me and 5g network speed is also good.PERFORMANE: Performance of the phone is decent but if you are power user, you will feel it underpowered. There are minor stutters and lags here and there but for normal users, it is manageable.CAMERA: Coming from Samsung Note 10, I feel the camera quality is downgrade but one can live with it if you want it for normal imaging. One of the issues with the camera is that it is slow and takes half a second to take a picture. Picture quality though is good but colours are muted and lifeless (unless Samsung’s boosted colours) and surprisingly night shots are better. Video quality on the other side is great. The front camera quality is good; however, the WhatsApp video call quality is terrible and I can’t explain why. May be a software update in future will fix both the camera response time and the video call quality which has been the case with Motorola devices.Some camera samples are also attached to judge for yourself.BATTERY: Battery life is OK and in most of the scenarios you will get through the day easily with a screen on time of 5-6 hours. However, it charges fairly quick with supplied 33W turbo charger.Finally, I would recommend this phone to those who have normal usage pattern and want to minimize their smartphone usage and don’t bother about having the best camera phone in the market. At present, the folding screen tech is costly affair and in comparison to Samsung’s costly flip devices Motorola does provide a usable device to the people at a decent enough cost to experience this technology.

Hopefully final update : Motorola service center has replaced the device with brand new one and fingers crossed, but it’s been behaving nicely for the last week. The mobile by itself seems good, upgrading to 3 stars.Update 31st July : With no other choice, have given the defective mobile to the service center, not sure at this point if they will do a replacement or repair on the 8 day old phone. Will keep this review updated.28th July : Original review :I was among the first to get this phone on launch and the phone was beautiful when i got it, enjoyed it fully for a week. And then the screen started flickering and now this is all i can see on the screen (photo attached) when it feels like starting up. Outer screen still works, inner screen is dead.I handled it like a baby for the week that it worked and to be honest, i loved the phone till it died a few days after the amazon return date cutoff. Not sure what to do next, very very disappointed with the product quality and return process won’t help here.

It’s actually a good phone with eye catching looks. But that’s it. When it comes to practicality, it’s a bit uneasy to use. You have to unfold everytime to use it, the widgets supported on the outside screens are less. The call attended from outside will be in speaker mode by default. This becomes unpleasant especially when you are eating or busy with something and when you get a call. The software is sometimes buggy. There are few call drops I have noticed. The battery back up is average for a fold phone but cannot expect like a bar phone. I bought this after exchanging my redmi note 8 pro. I found the latter to be more user friendly and practical than this. There is no external storage available, The hinge mechanism is making some noise while closing and opening but still sturdy. There is a chance for dust getting in between the hinges especially small hard dust particles which may affect the opening and closing.That being said, razr 40 has a good and tall display. The speakers are decent. The cover provided with this phone is good. Overall I rate 3.5/5 for this product22/10/2023: speakers are showing distortion from 80% volume and up. May require replacement. Hinge mechanism is showing some slack. Don’t expect this mobile to last like bar phones.

I have been using this phone for just one month and it has started to have issues with it. The main screen is not responding. It takes more than 4-5 minutes for the screen to repond after opening the flip. Sometimes it does not repond at all. Phone does not work when the screen is half folded. Camera opens but I am unable to press any option when the camera is used in half folded mode. All the other apps also don’t respond when the phone is half folded.Edit: Company replaced my old phone. So changing my review from 1 star to 3 stars.

The battery life very bad. With only 2 hours of use the battery went from 46 to 4 that too on the first day

So first things first. I got it at around 52k for which I feel that its worth it. Being the first gen phone its a fair bit glitchy. Call drops and apps shutting and little buggy as well. Buyer beware and at your own risk but its a beautiful phone. Try it if you are a tech freak and are okay with it. Not for hardcore gamers or anything. Limited functionality of the outer screen.
