        I did forget some details about 7Gen.1. That's my mistake.

        But did that compromise the fact that this 7Gen.1 SoC inside this phone is underperforming?

        🤣 No, test numbers are facts, no matter who points it out.

            And especially since we are talking about foldables(throttling/heating due to form factor),you want the best SoC you can get.

                I would got rid of the external display, is useless to make it even more affordable. External LED would be enough

                    Anonymous, 29 Jul 2023Are your feelings hurt because miUI ruined another SoC ? Check the test results of each run in the review article before you may any assumption.

                    The SoC throttled to 60% of normal 7 Gen 1 score to produce a "stable" result, didn't you see any problem here?

                    The scores of each test run(around 1850) are also lower than many 778G(+) devices, like A52s(2400/2400) and Iqoo Z6(2600/2600). Even some 765G devices can reach 1650/1650.

                    Then to say the SoC is throttled to lower-than-778G level as default, to fabricate a "stable" result. Still didn't you see any problems here?

                        Plastic always better

                          Really bad stability, battery and performance.. The N2 Flip has a more powerful SoC but a better battery.

                          I appreciate Motorola giving a mid range SoC for a clamshell phone because it's rare when other gives a flagship SoC that will only make it expensive.

                                    "The Motorola Razr 40 is officially not a waterproof smartphone. It has a water-repellent coating to its internals, meaning it will probably withstand the occasional splash of water or some rain drops, but it should not get properly wet."

                                    That is just reckless writing. If it would be safe to expose it to "light rain", there are existing IP ratings för that. They haven't, so it isn't.

Its individual test run scores are even lower than 778G(without plus) devices listed in 3D Mark Database.

                                      If you call this kind of behavior "stable", I'd call it dishonesty.

                                        DonnieOak, 29 Jul 2023Also, the phone is not overheating, it's a bit warmer ... moreBecause they DELIBERATELY throttled the chipset to control overheating problems🤣.

                                        Look at the Wild Life Stress Test numbers!

                                        The best/worst runs on this test unit are around 1900/1900, while Xiaomi 13 Lite's scores in 3DMARK database is around 3000/3000. A typical 778G device running Wild Life Stress Test would get around 2400/2400.

                                        See, they've throttled it to a lower-than-778G performance level to control heating problems and to make it looks stable🤣.

                                        I'm not sure if this is a malfunctioning test unit, or moto designed this as a feature. If not a bug, that's really hilarious 😆.
