The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has granted approval for the Motorola Edge 40 and Razr 40 Ultra phones, also known as Razr+ 2023. Both devices have been approved for use on other certification platforms as well. While the BIS certification does not reveal any specifications, leaked reports suggest that the devices will be available in the Indian market soon. Let’s take a closer look at what we know so far.
Motorola Edge 40 Specifications
According to reports, the Motorola Edge 40 will feature a 6.55-inch AMOLED FHD+ 144Hz display with a poke-hole design and curved edges. It will be powered by the upcoming Dimensity 8020 chip, with 8 GB of RAM and built-in storage capacities of 128 GB or 256 GB. The phone will come with a 4,400mAh battery that can be charged with 68W, and it will run on an Android 13 operating system based on My UX 5. On the back, it will feature a dual-camera setup with a 32-megapixel selfie camera and a 50-megapixel main camera (with OIS), and a 13-megapixel ultra-wide camera.
Motorola Razr 40 Ultra Specifications
The Motorola Razr 40 Ultra, on the other hand, is expected to be a clamshell phone with a 6.7-inch foldable OLED panel that has an FHD+ resolution and a refresh rate of 144 Hz. It is anticipated to feature the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset, 8 GB/12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM, and a 3,640mAh battery with 33W quick charging. The phone will run on My UX 5 and Android 13 OS. Additional features will include a dual-camera setup, a side-facing fingerprint scanner, and a very large cover display.
What This Means for the Indian Market
The BIS certification for these devices indicates that Motorola is preparing to launch them in the Indian market soon. With Apple and Samsung dominating the premium smartphone market, it remains to be seen how well the new Motorola phones will fare. However, the company has a reputation for offering high-quality products at reasonable prices, so the phones are expected to generate interest among Indian consumers.
Conclusion
The BIS approval for the Motorola Edge 40 and Razr 40 Ultra phones is a significant development for the Indian market. While we do not have all the details yet, leaked reports suggest that these phones will offer high-end features at competitive prices. It remains to be seen how well they will compete against established players, but Motorola’s reputation for quality and affordability should give it a strong foothold in the market.
