    Flip phones should be cheaper, just like this one. Kudos to Motorola! Let's hope more companies follow this trend 🙏

    As much as I loved the Moto RAZR 40 ULTRA. Had to go back to my RAZR 5g as missed flipping the phone open one handed.
    It's the little things that have the biggest impact.

    I just got this phone and I'm really enjoying it. I'm very impressed and I'm glad that Motorola is still a contender in the communications industry. I had a razor back in the 2000s in, in fact I had two. One was a metal version and the other was done in a matte black. It was one of the best "flip phones". The little screen on the outside is perfect for me. I actually feel like the larger screen on the outside is overkill. It has more than enough power and speed. I got it for $525.

    I think the fact that the phone didn't suffer any performance issues despite the older chipset shows that phone CPUs are only iterative upgrades and not important outside of dedicated gaming phones.

    This definitely would have been the flip killer last year. I think them offering two is a good idea. Samsung only offers there over priced flip and granted most people get them from carriers or from a trade in. Moto might be finally getting it.

      They support for 4 years and 3 major android versions. So as a user you could probably use this phone for 5/6 years depending on support for the final Android version the Razr 40 is on. Samsung is about the same with 3-4 years depending on the device. Pixel is leading the market with 7 years. Either way Moto is inline with major competition

    I ordered it in the US recently. Waiting for it to arrive after this weekend on around 10/30/23.
    My Razr 2023 (as it is called here in the US) only cost me *$378.11* with trading-in my mint condition (and mint green) iPhone 11.
    I don't really care about the front (closed) screen being that small. I ordered the sage green color.
    Also ordered some nice Motorola earbuds from Amazon that should also arrive on 10/30/23.
