The Motorola Razr 40 has surfaced on both Geekbench and 3C websites prior to its launch. Just to be clear, this is the vanilla Razr 40 model, not the ‘Ultra’ variant that has been intensively leaking over the last couple of weeks.
The Motorola Razr 40 surfaced on both Geekbench & 3C websites
In any case, the phone surfaced on Geekbench and 3C websites under the ‘XT2323-3’ model number. The Geekbench listing does confirm that the phone will be fueled by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC.
Truth be said, that’s a bit weird, as the Snapdragon 7 Gen 2 is already out there. It seems like Motorola opted for a first-gen option instead. In any case, the listing also says that the device will include 12GB of RAM.
Android 13 inclusion is also mentioned here. Motorola will add some of its apps and features on top of Android 13, but it should look fairly similar to stock Android overall.
Now, the 3C certification added one detail to the mix, 33W charging. The Motorola Razr 40 will offer 33W wired charging, while no other details were mentioned. Wireless charging almost certainly won’t be on offer.
The Motorola Razr 40 & Razr 40 Ultra will launch on June 1
Now, the Motorola Razr 40 will debut on June 1, globally. That launch date has been confirmed by the company quite recently. The device will launch alongside the Motorola Razr 40 Ultra aka Razr+, which will be considerably more powerful.
The Razr 40 Ultra is tipped to utilize the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC, along with 8GB/12GB of RAM and a 3,800mAh battery. That device will also offer 33W wired charging, and a 12-megapixel main camera. A 13-megapixel ultrawide camera was also mentioned.
The Motorola Razr 40 Ultra will have a much larger cover display than its sibling. It will actually have the largest cover display of any clamshell foldable, a 3.5-inch unit.
