Motorola Razr 40 5G vs Motorola Razr 70 Ultra
Our Verdict: The Razr 40 5G and the Razr 70 Ultra are 30 years apart, which is enough for a real difference. The 40 5G has the better camera on paper, 64MP versus 50MP, and the 70 Ultra has the bigger battery of the two, 5000mAh against 4200mAh, which should mean longer between charges in day-to-day use. The 70 Ultra offers up to 512GB of storage versus 256GB on the 40 5G, and the 70 Ultra has the sharper display at 462 PPI to 413. The 70 Ultra is the better phone; upgrade from the 40 5G if you want the newer hardware, or hold on if yours still does the job.
Buying outright, the 40 5G starts at £305 SIM-free.
