Pros

Performance

Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chipset should deliver fine everyday performance.

Design

Almost affordable for a foldable phone.

The overall design and colours are really attractive.

Display

Small external display designed to showcase key information at a glance.

Flagship-level display with a 6.9-inch pOLED panel boasting a super-smooth 144Hz refresh rate and HDR10+ support.

Battery

Long battery life.

Software

Motorola’s software has some neat tricks.

Other

The vegan leather front and back covers make it a super tactile experience to hold.

Cons

Design

Creaky build feels cheap. [source: trustedreviews]

This is the creakiest foldable I have ever used. [source: trustedreviews]

There’s also more plastic here than on other foldable phones. [source: trustedreviews]

Display

Mostly useless outer display. [source: trustedreviews]

Price

Performance is nothing special for the price. [source: trustedreviews]

Software

The front and back of my lovely forest green review unit is covered in a faux-leather material that’s nice and grippy but not quite as high-end as the metal on the Razr 40 Ultra. [source: trustedreviews]
