Find out everything about these two Motorola phones. They are premium models!
Motorola is one of the most remembered brands in Brazil when it comes to cell phones. The company stands out for its affordable and high-quality cell phones, offering great value for money for users who want a good device without spending much. However, the manufacturer doesn't just sell basic cell phones.
The Razr 40 Ultra arrived as a foldable option from Motorola, placing the brand among the top of the line in this segment. On the other hand, the Edge 30 Ultra arrived as a cell phone in the conventional format, but also in the brand's premium line.
When you put them side by side, is the best device from the brand the foldable top or the traditional model? Check out this answer now with a comparison between the two models and decide which one is best for you!
Design
The Razr 40 Ultra is a flexible clamshell phone that is compact when closed and the size of a normal phone when opened. It has two rear cameras that are individually positioned horizontally. The Edge has a more square camera block, with the main lens standing out.
The 40 Ultra when folded is thinner than the conventional model, in addition to being lighter. Both have an aluminum construction and a glass back with Gorilla Glass protection. The Victus version is present in the foldable, while the fifth generation is present in the Edge.
Both phones are IP52 certified, making them resistant to dust and splashes of water. The foldable phone has a fingerprint reader integrated into the power button, while the Edge's reader is located under its screen.
Neither of them has a slot for storage expansion. Both feature Wi-Fi 6 and NFC. The Razr has Bluetooth 5.3, while the Edge has 5.2.
The Motorola Razr 40 Ultra takes the point for having a more modern design and more benefits.
Screen
The Razr has a 6.9-inch pOLED internal display and the Edge has a 6.67-inch OLED display. Both offer high levels of brightness and support for HDR10+. Both feature Full HD+ resolution.
The foldable phone has a variable rate of 165 Hz, while the conventional one has a rate of 144 Hz. The external screen of the foldable is 3.6 inches with high definition and a rate of 144 Hz.
With that, the point also goes to the 40 Ultra.
System
The foldable phone comes from the factory with Android 13 natively, while the conventional one comes with the Android 12 version. The manufacturer guarantees three software updates for each.
The interface has not undergone major changes, which allows for good fluidity. Both phones have the 5G technology, to ensure a better mobile network.
Both have the famous gestures to open the camera and turn on the flashlight, in addition to ReadyFor technology, which turns the phone into a portable computer. The 40 Ultra still has some differences in relation to the 30 Ultra. This point also goes to Motorola's foldable phone.
Performance
Both phones come equipped with the processor Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1, but that doesn't mean they have the same performance. Tests indicate an advantage in the Edge, which had a 14-second advantage over the Razr.
With that, the point is for the Edge, a conventional model.
Cameras
The foldable phone has two rear cameras, compared to the triple camera setup on the conventional model. The foldable's main 12 MP camera captures a lot of detail and good colors, but the Edge offers superior contrast and better textures with its 200 MP main sensor. The Edge's night mode is also more efficient.
With these features, the point also goes to Edge.
Battery
The Razr has a 3,800 mAh battery, which is smaller than the Edge's 4,610 mAh. Despite the difference, tests don't show a huge difference in practice. The Edge wins, with a little over 26 hours of battery life, 40 minutes more than the 40 Ultra.
When it comes to charging, the foldable takes an hour to charge 100%, while the Edge takes just 21 minutes to complete the process. With that, the point goes to it.
Price
Motorola has officially launched both phones in Brazil. The Razr 40 Ultra was available for R$1,400, more expensive than the R$1,400 charged for the Edge 30 Ultra. Currently, the foldable phone can be found for around R$1,400, while the conventional phone can be found for around R$1,400.
