Motorola Razr 40 Ultra vs Motorola Razr 50
Our Verdict: The Razr 50 is 10 years newer than the Razr 40 Ultra, and it shows in the specs. The 50 has a massively higher-resolution main camera, 50MP against the 40 Ultra's 13MP, and the 50 packs the bigger battery, 4200mAh against 3800mAh, which should mean longer between charges in day-to-day use. Only the 40 Ultra has a water-resistance rating (IP53); the 50 has none. If you're on the 40 Ultra, the 50 is a real step up, but only worth it if the changes above matter to you.
Buying outright, the 50 starts at £399 SIM-free.
