Motorola Razr 40 Ultra vs Razr 40 (Razr+ vs Razr 2023) | Which should you buy?

Motorola launched the Razr 2023 and the Razr+ this year, but which should you buy? In some markets the Razr 40's price is irresistable, but the Razr 40 Ultra has a much better outer screen and chipset. Save money, or spend the extra?

just picked up the Razr 2023. Very delighted with the phone. I had no desire for the pricier phone, especially having to be paranoid with the larger glass cover screen. The smaller screen on the Razr 2023 allows me to function as needed, to check messages, time, battery, and several other phone functions, the essentials and only the essentials. I can say with confidence that one should have no buyers remorse choosing the 2023 over the +.

I couldn't afford the plus. I got the cheaper model and I'm loving it so far.

I got the razr 40 about a week ago and love it alot more that the Galaxy flip 4 i had before

[fazelok]

again - if any flip phone put the smaller screen on the opposite side - to use the camera perfectly in the folded state, i would buy it XD

Good review. U deserve more views mate.

I really wish smartphones manufacturers just embrace plastic exteriors more than glass.

[mikejames]

I honestly like the plastic model better because i can just toss it around and not caring about it really breaking. Ive had foldable and flipables and the inside displays can take falls and drops but the exterior glass always breaks.

Grabbed the regular sage green Razr yesterday at Boost Mobile for $99 with a new line.. I'm lovin this phone

[aprilprivott]

Even if the outer screen of the razr plus is great I couldn’t be happier with the razr, the outer display of my razr is 1.5 inches small but still I like the functionality for quick scrolling and calling and knowing if I should answer or not, and I also like that I can control my music and check the weather on the small outer display, I can use the external camera with the small display, and I can even activate hotspot using just the outer screen, and I can also see some of my notifications on the small screen, there’s still a lot of function on the standard razr outer screen, I don’t even have to open my phone to answer calls, or even make calls to known contacts. On the inside of the phone it’s like any other high end smartphone with little bezels and the inner screen is very fluid and works like a charm if we don’t use it for heavy gaming, yeah I can still game on it but lightly, one feature that I also love about the Motorola razr is the casting feature known as ready for which works similarly to Samsung dex, but Motorola version, this allows you to play, creates and see content on the big screen, and also there’s a vintage theme or mode for the 2004 razr. Me and dad have the normal 2023 razr and we couldn’t be happier, I highly recommend are great, imagine if the Motorola razr is great now imagine how good the Motorola razr plus would be, wow I am impressed with how the Motorola razr works.

Does the peach fuzz also have that nice warm texture? The vegan leather?

[DanielRamos-tqcz]

I'm thinking of buying the ultra to replace my Nord n30 but a lil worried about the line that is in the middle

[marinaabeach]

is the plus model more prone to cracks as it has a huge displayyy? also there has been no drop test done for these phones and I can't tell if it has withstand multiple drops without case because im one of those people; can u recommend a good flip smart phone that can do these and has thin bezels(thinnest out of all the flip smartphones). I am asking this becoz ur a small youtuber so I have chances of getting a response😂😂; btw gl with ur channel

[golden-lion-]

Do you know if it's possible to change the home screen (the one the screen goes to when I click the o at the bottom)? I've been trying to change it to a different screen page but couldn't.

[cpt.fantastic]

my favorite is you sir. where are you? i think you have a different channel before. i remember always watching your reviews.

[lauratukey]

The only two burning questions I have that are helping me decide between models other than price point are do they both have the dust and water resistance dust being my main concern and on the cheaper model can you change your song on Spotify if the cheaper model can do Spotify and has a good dust and water resistance that sage green is looking good to me literally the two things that have me waffling

[jtfyodr]

It is not clear in the review but when the phones are fully unfolded, does it "click" into place? Are any creases visible on the main screen where the hinge Thanks - great review!

So, Razr 2023 is the same as Razr 40? This has been very confusing to me. I see cases advertised for Razr 40. Would that work on Razr 2023?
