Motorola Razr 40 5G vs Motorola Razr 40 Ultra

Our Verdict: If you are choosing between Motorola Razr 40 Ultra and Motorola Razr 40 5G, camera hardware is the main reason to lean one way. The 5G has a higher-resolution 64MP rear camera and a larger 4,200 mAh battery; the Ultra mainly responds with its IP53 - dust and splash protection rating. A bigger mAh figure is useful context, but real battery life still depends on software and chipset efficiency. The 5G is the better fit for camera hardware, while the Ultra is the one to consider for durability.

Buying outright, the 5G starts at £265 SIM-free.
