Sooo everyone got the Ultra, no one getting the regular 40? I've been debating to get the regular 40 from fastech, don't really need the big 2ndary screen and I suppose.. less powerful battery + bigger batt = better battery life?

But I am hesitating to switch from my Edge 30 Pro; of which I have almost no complaints on. Switching means I would downgrade the soc (although I am a casual user, no gaming etc), battery, charging speed, cameras, and I suppose practicality/durability? Considering I use my phone for work purposes as well. Also have to think of an excuse to give the missus at home as well lol 🤣

But I am a long time Moto user, and mostly wishes to change to Razr 40 due to being nostalgic using the Razr V3 during my uni days..

Opinions are welcome guys! I also have a few other things on my mind too, if current owners don't mind asking!

Yea, read about that too. Here I thought a less powerful chip with bigger batt means more screen time lol. And I do have concerns that the SD 7 image processing would be inferior to the SD8 as well, although I have no data to back this up. I suppose with further updates they'll get better batt life (and better camera images?) though it's not certain

Yep just read this, as well as from Gizmochina too. What I gather is its 'adequate for daily use'. Makes me think of splurging for the Ultra, but I can get 12/256 much cheaper for the standard than 8/256 Ultra, too. Was hoping I didnt have the downgrade the ram compared to my current 30 Pro too..

Any of you guys use Android Auto, btw? I've heard how CN roms doesn't work with Android Auto for some certain reasons.. and I wonder why when changed to global rom meaning no more updates, like in Fastech listing?

Aahh darn, thank you for confirming my suspicions, would be a step back if I can't use Android Auto either, hrnnn

Not sure about.. changing the update channel stuff etc lol.

And for the current owners, can you comment on the display crease?

Initially my plan was just leave it unfolded during work etc, and only fold when I have to move around haha

I see. Although still can be felt with fingers, aye? And what do you think about picture quality? While I know photography was never a strong point for foldables, and I reckon all modern smartphones produce generally good pictures, I can't help but wonder and looking forward to opinions from different users!

Maybe your general opinion, say compared to your previous phones? 😃

Yea, was expecting crease since its a foldable, since I've seen Flips around but no Razr, even the 2022. And for sure the camera won't be flagship level lol, certainly not Pixel/Iphone stuff, but at least I want it to be serviceable..?

So you have the flagship of flagships to compare 😅 but thank you for your feedback. I am surprised you're using the Razr for daily driver now, despite it's.. shortfalls? I mean you do have a S23U, don't you feel something.. lacking?

I've looked over at Singapore forums, and saw some got theirs from HK, and have Google and Play Store etc etc preloaded. More convenient I suppose..?

Noted, and thanks! I do use my phone for work, which involves taking some pictures, but not like.. I need a pro photo quality anyway, and I also do not play any games - I have my PC for that. Although not being able to use Android Auto is... kind of a minus for me, at the moment.

I understand the different part. Else, its just...another phone with slightly better specs year by year. Always thought by now even mid range soc is fast enough, and cameras being decent enough, at least compared to couple years back.

Indeed, I've looked at the 2022 model, in fact I've followed Razr's revival back when it was announced in.. 2019? But somehow the current 40 model is the one that caught my attention. Plus for something like this, it's always better to wait for several gen, aye?

Plus, bro cruzzmz here said he had some issues with his 2022 and I believe him lol

Yea was expecting crease, and apparently from others say the 40 is the least.. visible of all flips?

Still, bro cruzzmz did you notice any change etc to the crease over use on your 2022? Long term I mean

And since Android Auto is somewhat being phased out by Google Assistant Driving I guess... I can overlook that.

I wonder if Motorola will ever bring this in. I mean they didn't even bring any of this year's models in, iinm. Looks atm they're.. dead again, after a brief revival.

Yea I think I most probably would get one in the coming weeks, just debating between a 12/256 regular 40 or splurge on a 8/256 Ultra, weighing them pros and cons lol.

Ini bad poison 🤣

Btw I've read about how CN Razr 40 UI is different.. than global ROM one? Can anyone confirm or comment?

Saw that live running folding test against Flip 5, the Ultra failed at 43k folds, abit.. far cry from the 400k advertised.

I know this isn't a conclusive test or whatnot, and only done with 1 unit, but, still..

Ahh so it has continuation, haven't kept tracked. Still far from the advertised 400k folds, but you're also right on it should.. be ok for 2++ years. Of which by that time I suppose most people would get another flip, or resigned to bar phone again lol.

Most probably will just get the regular 40, unless.. I get a bonus or smth in the coming month 🤣

Yea thats the thing, from my V3 back in college, til now allll candy bar phones. That nostalgic feeling to use flip.. but till now too many drawbacks

Bug fixes, stability update etc?

How's battery life for your unit so far?

Is there a way to change to global and still get updates?

It's.. not really budget, just not really too keen on splurging a flagship level flip phone at this moment, a grey import too boot.

That said, I am a big longtime fan of Motorola, and have been watching their flip phones since the 2019 announcement.

Was thinking if the regular 40 is good enough for casual use..

Yea they made a comeback like sometime ago, and then.. died again I guess. So far this year's models no new releases
