One impressive aspect of its design is that both halves of the foldable sit flat against each other with no gap between them, unlike some other foldable phones like the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4, which is thicker when folded.
The phone’s front and rear panels are made of Gorilla Glass Victus, providing durability and protection. The rear panel has a matte finish, which feels nice to the touch but can be quite slippery. However, the frame and hinge have a glossy finish, making it easier to grip.
Additionally, there are two rear-facing cameras on the cover display that almost flush with the glass surface, and a 3D curved-edge glass screen that adds to the phone’s polished and premium appearance. The cover display also offers a unique feature – one half of the phone can have a customizable skin or finish based on the wallpaper you choose.

The main display is a 6.9-inch flexible OLED screen with razor-thin bezels, and the crease is less obtrusive compared to previous models. Additionally, the external display has a size of 3.2 inches and almost fills the entirety of the top half.
The phone comes in three colors: Infinite Black, Glacier Blue, and Viva Magenta. The Viva Magenta variant features a soft vegan leather back, while the other two have frosted glass backs.

Camera
The camera setup of the Motorola Razr 40 Ultra may not boast the highest resolution, but it proves that resolution isn’t everything. The main 12-megapixel camera with OIS and a wide f/1.5 aperture captures well-balanced and well-exposed images in daylight conditions.
This camera’s vibrant colors and natural bokeh add to the overall appeal of the photos. However, in low-light scenarios, there’s room for improvement, as the focusing can sometimes miss the mark, leading to softer images.

Additionally, the android phone has 32-megapixel front-facing camera which delivers crisp and vibrant selfies, but it struggles a bit in low-light conditions. The dual displays offer some fun features for photography, such as using the rear cameras for selfies when the phone is folded and using the external display as a viewfinder.
The phone’s video capabilities are decent, with 4K 30fps videos being the sweet spot for good details and stabilization. However, 4K 60fps videos show some issues with exposure and stability.
