Motorola has launched its latest flip-style foldable smartphones—the RAZR 40 and RAZR 40 Ultra, in India. While the standard model targets mid-range buyers, the Ultra variant is aimed at flagship lovers. The devices will go on sale starting July 15 via Amazon but Prime members will be able to buy them on July 14. The handsets will take on Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Z Flip5.

Design-wise, the RAZR 40 appears more like Galaxy Z Flip4, whereas the RAZR 40 Ultra sports a bigger, edge-to-edge cover screen, which even wraps the cameras. The devices offer IP52 splash-resistance. They are housed within an aluminum frame and their cover screen is protected by Gorilla Glass Victus. The Ultra model is slimmer (6.99mm v/s 7.35mm) and lighter (184.5g v/s 188.6) than RAZR 40.
The Ultra variant boasts 165Hz main display
