The flagship is the Moto Razr+, which will launch in the US on June 23 for $999. There&#8217;s also a cheaper phone called only the &#8220;Moto Razr&#8221; with a smaller outside screen, slower SoC, and no clear US price or release date. Internationally, these phones are called the Moto Razr 40 Ultra and Moto Razr 40.<\/p>\n<p>The Ultra model&#8217;s SoC is a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1\u2014that&#8217;s not the best you can get from Qualcomm, which would be the 8 Gen 2\u2014this is a <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/gadgets\/2022\/05\/qualcomms-snapdragon-8-gen-1-salvage-operation-moves-the-chip-to-tsmc\/\">year-old mid-cycle<\/a> upgrade chip. The phone has 8GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, and a 3800 mAh battery with 30 W quick charging. The leaked display specs have been all over the place, but officially, the interior display is a 6.9-inch, 2640\u00d71080 OLED that runs at a smoking 165 Hz. The exterior display is super big on the Ultra model and is a 3.6-inch, 144 Hz OLED at a nearly square 1066\u00d71056. Motorola has the phone&#8217;s dust and water ingress protection rated at IP52, which <a href=\"https:\/\/rainfordsolutions.com\/products\/ingress-protection-ip-rated-enclosures\/ip-enclosure-ratings-standards-explained\/\">typically only<\/a> protects from &#8220;direct sprays of water up to 15 degrees from the vertical&#8221; and is far from qualifying the Razr as a water-resistant phone.<\/p>\n<p>The design has been better.

This fourth foldable generation tones things down a lot and is more of a generic rectangle.
