Motorola Razr 40 arrives in the US as the Motorola Razr

Sagar, 11 October 2023

Motorola unveiled the Razr 40 and Razr 40 Ultra in June. The Razr 40 Ultra launched in the US as the Razr+, and now the Razr 40 Ultra has also debuted in the States. It's called Motorola Razr in the US and Canada, but the URL of the listing on Motorola's websites for these regions mentions the smartphone as Motorola Razr Gen 3.

Motorola is touting the Razr as the most affordable clamshell in the US, and it also introduced a new software experience called Moto Unplugged to "help users take a break from their smartphone, removing distractions so they can be more present." It's basically a focus mode that helps users take a "digital break" from the apps of their choice for a certain amount of time.
