Motorola launched the Moto Razr 40 series in India today. The series spawns two models, the entry-level Motorola Razr 40 and high-end Razr 40 Ultra. In the Razr 40 Ultra, you get Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chip and an expansive 3.6-inch cover display. The Razr 40 makes do with the watered-down Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 and a 1.5-inch cover screen.
The Motorola Razr 40 and Razr 40 Ultra just launched in China— in early June— so Motorola has been quick with global expansion. This is possibly to steal some of Samsung’s thunder, also, even as the South Korean giant gears to launch the next generation of Galaxy Z Fold and Galaxy Z Flip phones, aka, Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 in late July.
Motorola Razr 40, Razr 40 Ultra price, availability
The Razr 40 Ultra is priced at Rs 89,999. The Razr 40 will sell for Rs 59,999. Both will ship with 8GB of RAM and 245GB of storage by default, though only the Ultra model will use faster LPDDR5 RAM and UFS3.1 storage (the Razr 40 will top out at LPDDR4X and UFS2.2). General availability is pegged for July 15 (starting 12 PM) across Amazon, Motorola.in, Reliance Digital and other leading retail stores.
