Unveiled together with the Razr 40 Ultra (or Razr+ in North America), the Razr 40 serves as a more mid-range option in Motorola’s flip foldable line.

It features a 6.9-inch AMOLED screen with FHD+ resolution and a 144 Hz refresh rate, a Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chipset with 8 or 12GB of RAM, and either 128 or 256GB of internal storage. It will also have a 4,200 mAh battery capacity with 30W of fast wired charging capability.

It will have a more standard cover display that measures 1.5 inches, which is much smaller than the more immersive 3.6-inch external display in the more high-end Razr 40 Ultra. It also has a leather-like texture on its exterior.

For cameras, the Razr 40 will come with a 64MP main shooter and a 13MP ultrawide. It will then have a 32MP camera at the front for selfies. Like the Razr 40 Ultra, the Razr 40 will have an IP52-rated water-repellant build.

The Razr 40 will come in three colors: Vanilla Cream, Summer Lilac, and Sage Green.

It’s currently priced in China at CNY 3999 (around Php 31,628) for the base 8GB RAM and 128GB storage model, and CNY 4699 (around Php 37,171) for the 12GB RAM and 256GB storage variant.
