Anybody got a Motorola Razr 40 phone?

[Blackpuddin]

Would quite like to get shot of my Samsung A14 as it is driving me mad (size and constantly hanging up in use). I really want a folding phone mainly for the compactness. Not much to choose from but the Motorola Razr 40 (not the Ultra) looks like a decent candidate at just under £500.
Just wondering if anyone can give me the benefit of their experiences with one of these? TIA.

I do not, but I do have the Samsung Z Flip 5, having previously had a Z Flip 4.

Folding phones definitely aren't a novelty and I won't go back as long as they're an option.

I just want something I can put in my pocket but apparently that's too much to ask these days because young 'uns all want massive batteries.

Same. It's so refreshing not carrying a surfboard about. I'm sure you'll get on with it a treat.

Only caveat I guess is slightly less good camera than the surfboards.

Yes, apparently so but I'm not bothered about that. The Razr40 Ultra has a better camera than the non-Ultra but the battery doesn't last as long and it costs £200 more to boot.
Thanks for your thoughts, I believe I will take the plunge.

They're available in the US for $360 + 25 then cancel service. In all honesty, having had a good play with one as part of a promo, I thought it a decent phone. Screen was better than I thought it would be. I wouldn't spend 500 quid on one though; 300 is a lot more attractive.

They used to be £799! But nobody was buying them for that. Got one coming.

Mrs. K has one and absolutely loves it.

Aha! Good to hear.
Motorola UK's website is a bit shonky but buying one from an Amazon supplier for £10 less looked shonkier.

Yes, I bought a green one at launch ~8 months ago. It's been good so far, and the battery lasts easily all day when I'm out and about - never had it less than about 50% to be honest and that's when I'm travelling into London so using internet/playing Spotify etc, but I'm not a heavy game player on it, so your mileage may differ.

There is a slight ridge on the screen where it folds, and it never folds truly flat, but it's not a problem and a small price to pay for a small pocket sized form factor. I don't think I'll ever go to a full size phone (unless they make them foldable with a laptop sized screen )

Mine came with a little plastic clip on case which was unexpected, but Motorola don't seem to sell them separately which is a shame as I've dropped the phone a few times just because it's so slippery and small.

I'm happy so far, but I don't tend to abuse or heavily use phones, so am easily pleased.

Our usage patterns sound identical so with luck it should do the job, thanks for posting.
