Motorola Razr 40 5G vs Motorola Razr 60 Ultra

Our Verdict: If you've got the Razr 40 5G, the Razr 60 Ultra is 20 years of updates on from it. The 40 5G has a clearly higher-resolution main camera, 64MP against the 60 Ultra's 50MP, and there's more battery in the 60 Ultra, 4700mAh to 4200mAh, which usually means longer between charges. Storage goes higher on the 60 Ultra, up to 512GB against 256GB, and the 60 Ultra has the sharper display at 451 PPI to 413. Coming from the 40 5G, the 60 Ultra is a genuine upgrade rather than a token one.

If you'd rather pay up front, the 40 5G is the cheaper buy at £305 SIM-free.
