Motorola Razr 40 Ultra vs Motorola Razr 70 Ultra

Our Verdict: Motorola Razr 70 Ultra makes the stronger first impression through the sharper 462 PPI display, a higher-resolution 50MP rear camera, and the stronger 50MP front camera. Motorola Razr 40 Ultra counters with a 6.9" screen and a 13MP rear camera. The larger mAh figure is a point in its favour, not a full prediction of run time. The SIM-free numbers tilt toward Motorola Razr 40 Ultra: £435 plays about £574 less than Motorola Razr 70 Ultra. The better buy depends on the trade-off: Motorola Razr 70 Ultra for its headline advantages, or Motorola Razr 40 Ultra for the areas where it pushes back.

If you'd rather pay up front, the 40 Ultra is the cheaper buy at £435 SIM-free.
