Motorola is expanding its lineup with the introduction of the more affordable Motorola Razr 40. It comes a few weeks after the release of its pricier sibling, the Razr 40 Ultra. The Razr 40 model is currently available exclusively in China through Lenovo’s online store. It starts at CNY 4,000 (about $557) for the 8/128GB variant.
Motorola Launches the Affordable Razr 40 Model in China
While searching Motorola’s websites for other countries, GSMarena team found that the device is listed as “coming soon” everywhere else. However, they did manage to spot it on a Czech retailer’s site, which estimates a July 21 arrival date. That’s about a month from now. Pre-orders are already open for CZK 21,600 (about $1,000). This pricing is higher than the price of the smartphone in China.
In early June, Motorola India tweeted about the upcoming release of the Razr 40 series. However, neither model has become available yet. In the US, the Razr 40 Ultra, which we also know as the Razr+, is currently available for pre order and is set to start shipping on June 29, just a week away. Users can also pre order the Razr+ in Canada and is already available in Mexico and Brazil.

As the release dates draw nearer, consumers anticipate getting their hands on the latest Razr models and experiencing the innovative features they offer.
