Motorola Razr (2019) | One week later...

- Now the hype's died down, here's my Motorola Razr 2019 hands-on review, running through the specs and features and my thoughts on this foldable phone - from the innovative design to the limited specs and camera tech.
The new Moto Razr launched last week and there was a lot of excitement and buzz around this proper bendy smartphone, which isn't a fold-up tablet like the Galaxy Fold. Motorola's classic, iconic handset looks better than ever and that foldable screen really is impressively seamless, thanks to that smart dual hinge tech.
However, to get this slick design to work, the new Razr 2019 has to make some sacrifices. The performance is limited thanks to the Snapdragon 710 chipset, although only gamers should prove disappointed - the stock Android experience proved smooth in my hands-on time.
Battery life will also be hampered by the split 2500mAh cell, while it's the older Android 9 OS on board. Not great news for anyone who really does demand the latest tech.
As for the single lens 16MP camera, you'll have to wait for the full Moto Razr 2019 review to see how that fares. Motorola's usual features and AI tools are on board although you won't get the premium experience you may expect at this price point.
This updated classic will be released in the UK in December, for 1599 Euros - so around £1500. Stay tuned for full coverage!
Just take my money. I can't wait for the saticsfation of disconnecting someone by slamming the phone shut
Blanky
Until you slam too hard and your phone cracks
I guess thats the purpose of the notch....it will slam to the chin not the screen itself...Motorola really did this well...unlike Samsung that they redesigned it already but still theres a line in the middle and has gap....plus it looks like a tv remote when it close....looks like a chopping board when open...just kidding....between the two Motorola really innovates well in bending plastic screen where Samsung "started" the technology but they didnt executed it good...
Lolol
For that price I don't think you will slam it
they need to come out with a pink one so i can live my 2004 days again.
Ohhhhhh yeah
@K P If your gonna insult me at least spell correctly. Not to mention I had a job and PAID for that phone sorry not sorry.
My thoughts exactly! Although $1600 is a huge leap from the $80 I paid back then! Lol
Soap scenes Kp is just jealous cuz they can't afford one.
Carra M tbh I’m gonna wait for the second version because it’ll have better specs and hopefully a better price point!
I like the design, but there's no way I'd pay a grand and a half for that.
Plus it's using outdated tech in it.
If the price was in the 6-800 range with flagship specs and Android 10 we'd have a winner and top selling phone during the holiday season. I'd get one for sure
I would only for its size. Why would i want to fucking buy a phone that are size of a shitty council house brick size, now a days phones are getting long in length, reaching the sky just like the 1970 phones, ET can be reached faster then ever with these big ass phones
Its not even all that good style but battery mostly shit
Ridiculous price
I folded my wallet when I heard the price
You folded the wallet instead of the phone
😂😂😂 it looks AMAZING but that battery life tho...and will it overheat due to heavy usage?
... so many questions
😂😂
@@eduese lMAO
Hahahahha nice one
POINTS OFF for the fact that this is NOT a "one week later" review.
Exactly - blatant clickbait and a lie
@@crispin. actually... this review was posted 1 week after the reveal sooooooo
Yeah that got me also
he lives in a different time period
That's a review after a week....it doesn't matter
Would love to see more of these folding phones that folding a regular size phone into a more pocket friendly size... For me this is the future of folding phones
Look out for the return of Sanyo's Katana. All the flash, half the cash of the Razr!
@@sidmas-zj5eu they don't fit, we (consumers) have adjusted our lifestyles to accommodate large phones. When is the last time you sat down in public without your phone in hand? maybe with a winter coat on.
@@kewlztertc5386 I literally sit with and carry my phone all the time, and I have a Xiaomi Mi Max 3, a 6.7in behemoth. It's not hard and I don't understand how people have trouble with carrying smaller phones.
@@Swordsman99k good for you! Most people have to remove their phone to sit down. Most wouldn't dare keep a phone in their back pockets, and if you can comfortably sit with one in your fronts, then you're special...
@@kewlztertc5386 You really think a thick square would fit better than a thin slab?
Plus, phones you can at least carry in a pocket. Maybe you have to remove it to sit down, maybe you don't, but carrying it is fine right? Well, can't do that with tablets at all. So you can guess which solution would be more popular and "the future of foldables", the one that allows us to carry tablets in our pockets or the one that helps us keep a phone-sized screen in the pocket...
No matter how the phone has performed, it is great to see that a company has done something no one else has tried and started the concept of a flip smartphone.
It will take time to work out the problems that this idea will have, but I praise Motorola for trying something different.
The next generation of anything starts from one idea.
I am totally buying one in 2 years when its $300!
Probably gonna be 500
They're £450 now.
Just snagged one for $650 Canadian and it included a free Moto 360 smartwatch. Super happy to get mine soon!
Does anyone have an international shipping site? It's still very expensive where I live
@@HarmanSingh-hx2rl its its 400 now lol
♥️ Motorola
This a new technology. As an Electronics Engineer I definitely understand why this is costly.
Years to come, and this type of phones will go way cheaper, just like how touchscreen smartphones have evolved into much cheaper phones compared to when they were introduced.
Indeed
This is innovation.
You don't need to be a elect engineer to understand common sense...who signs your checks apple? You take eco101 Kno bout the apple tax? Lol sorry but stating your position doesn't give your statement anymore validity... And that's coming from a Harvard Cyber Security Engineer...lol
Cheshire InFamous she’s still better than you. Harvard graduates suck.
Cheshire in Famous is such a douche bag, if stating positions doesn't give your statement validity why the f* did you mention yours? The hypocrisy.
:25
The fact that they put in the original OS screen on it and the keypad ... PRICELESS ..
I'm not gonna lie I have the s10 plus but this is a sexy phone .
Interesting... I thought it was ugly as fuck but it's kind of growing on me now. I'll probably wait 3 years or so for a one that looks good enough. The first iteration is barely ever good.
S10s is a brick
@@zualapips1638 yea I'd probably wait a couple years for a better one and once all the kinks are worked out and they're a lot better and stuff
Just keep reminding yourself it's got outdated hardware inside of it.
Motorola are underrated phones
I was interested in this until I realised it was more expensive than a second hand car!
Wait where do u stay? Second hand cars here costs $30k onwards
@@Stonyree Australia
I love this new design, reminds me of the old times but I actually love it!
There ad song for that phone was really creative.
*they dont make em like me no more*
@@xrosbeans they really don't. Can't believe Motorola is gonna be the one to revive flip phone again.
Yep
I want to get rid of my smartphone and go back to a flip phone.
Michael Weston this is a smartphone idiot
Have fun wasting $1,500 then and being stuck on overpriced Verizon (if you’re in the US)
@@Butterflywarrior214 Im not talking about this phone, Im talking about one with keys, where texting takes 3 minutes not 3 seconds.
@@mclaine33 Verizon tops all other networks by far, I have been with at&t, virgin mobile, and verizon. My siblings are on sprint and my phone is always working, their's not so much. Also, I mean a real flip phone, not this overpriced trash.

I really hope this brings back flip phones in a strong way. I missed them and would really like to see the blend of touch screen and flip style.
I want the satisfaction of slamming my phone shut to end a call back
Wow, seriously want one. The original Razr that I had on BT was probably my favorite pre smartphone phone. Sadly the £1,500 is way out of my price range
Ayyy the guy from impractical jokers, never noticed his accent .
Murr 🤣🤣🐿🐿
Where is the "one week later" content? Clickbait?
I just realized flip phones back then didn't have cases. Back then we were proud of scratches on our phone, it made it ours.
I like the idea,nostalgia,look,but don’t understand that price
They think since Samsung pulled off 2k for the fold they could this
Folding shit new they gotta cover they ass for the testing bullshit
ING tech...
Idea nostalgia look is what ur paying for
Folding screen tech is still new wait 2-3 years the price gonna drop.
Why is it 1 week later when its not a real review just a preview
Maybe he go there one week later
Is that a wee bit click baity?...I thought it was some thoughts after using the device for a week
Dumb clickbait thats why - they should be receiving demerits and eventual banishment.
The compact size will be welcomed by the prison population
Sadly it's gonna end up in somebody's ass during lockdowns 😂
Lmao 😏
Hello bum hole!
Only the professionals can get you a Samsung Galaxy S7+
Prison populations: Keep up! We have watches that make calls.
omg they even put the original Motorola Razr keys layout on the screen for dialing numbers. Awesome
It unfortunately really doesn't seem worth it sadly
its meant for nostalgia folks
@@DJNicShogun it ironicly has a better folding system than other phones
@@antyvirusuk8056 the other phones copies the Nokia Communicator E90
Not really fold blows this out of the water
@@Guitarfreaklordduntil the screen braks again
You got to admit. That T9 throw back is pretty damn cool.
I want this so bad but I'm just a broke college student
And yet almost all broke students constantly update their iPhone. Buy it. It's a good phone.
Go sell your butt
I guess a light gaming laptop is ur priority now
@@dancehalltroll176 😂😂
StraightHugo Not the best financial decision..
Brings back memories of my old razor. I would buy one in a heartbeat if I had the money.
Love this design.. Just needs to be cheaper and better battery life
I folded my intentions when he said the price.
Right?! I’ll just pay a grand for the latest iPhone. So much more reasonable.
Your name is such that I don't even have to swear. Listen Mr. Lavde. I don't own an iPhone. Okay.im a motorala user
I was seriously considering giving up my iPhone .... then he said the price! Naw... I’m good! LOL
I wanted to look cool answering calls like a big time drug dealer.
Software need some optimizing.. the icons are UNDER the Notch. Nice phone
I just want it in silver with the OG aluminum back.
I really love it. It has been a long time since I felt this excited about a new phone or any product for that matter. I am a 90s kid and I grew up with Nokia, Motorollas and Flip Phones! So excited and I want it so bad!
I'm not an iPhone person but this nostalgia is my type!!
The last car I bought was cheaper... :(
And shittier don't forget shittier
Love that its a phone and not a tablet
Another crispy video, great content as always.
I don’t even like phones but this phone is Bae. 😍🥰
I dug up my old Razr when i heard about this phone. The Razr was a classic and this looks like it might live up to the old classic!
This design is actually very functional. If it weren’t for the price (that’s a given due to the engineering and production costs) I wouldn’t think twice about getting this.
Finally a innovative design phone came in last few years to beat the iPhone X series...
MOTO...NEVER STOPPED TO AMAZE ME....
If you never owned a phone over £1000 you are clearly not the public Motorola is going for. This phone is for people that don’t worry too much about money.
Just ordered mine, arriving 15th Jan 2020 ans I cannot wait!!!
As a phone, this seems promising, though I'll wait to see what they do with it next. I would personally need a version with sim card slots, so if the make another one with that feature then I'll be very tempted to get one. :)
"1 week later"? This is basically the 3rd video you've made doing the exact same thing 🤣
You stupid much?
Are you stupid? Tf are even saying
@@Settowin please do enlighten me...
@@Meegoreng100 You're gonna call me stupid when you can't string a sentence together? 🤣
So basically it's an overpriced lemon.Motorola seems like they challenging apple on how much one can rip off consumers.
^Exactly 🤨
Totally agree.. It's got a pissy 2500mAh battery which won't last half a day, and a shit camera, and a shit Snapdragon 710...
@@Funkteon than just wait a couple years this is the first on its kind. It will most likely be a lot cheaper and have the features of high quality phones today
I remember my favorite flip phone was the MOTORAZR2 V9.... I absolutely loved that phone
Price drop - down to £399 in the UK (26-02-2021)
Amazing! the next standard flagship design foldable phone with ratio 21:9 🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩

I’ll wait for a Chinese version for half the price, and what’s an e sim , I’m getting old
No sim card it's built in pretty much
eSIM is a step 20 years back in time when phones didn't have SIM cards.. This shit will never take off, because people want to be able to take their number to another phone without having to beg at a telephone company to do it for them..
Why the hell is in the title "One week later..." ? why clickbait, i was expecting showing phone after 1 week usage...
Do one a year later when the phone cracks at the fold. Hopefully it happens before the warranty runs out for those mad people who’d pay $1500 for this.
Let’s see if we can bring back the Sidekick.
Great design and stylish, but being sucked into Google’s surveillance swamp and being sold to information brokers is a big no-no. Really sad that Android was taken over by Google.
But again - serious cool design.
It looks great, and while it is super expensive, hopefully more handset manufacturers take risks and create different forms. I miss the days when there was lots of different styles around. If they can get the price down on this, I think it would be quite popular.
For people crying about the price just wait till next year when it’s $800
Aayyyyy return of the razr. One of my 1st phones.
Hands-on review without you actually having hands on the device and only showing footage from the motorola event????
If you look closely at the footage, you'll see that he was actually there.
Thats important:
Samsung Fold : foldable tablet
Huawei Mate X: Foldable Tablet
Moto Razr: Foldable Phone.
it's fold-able. You fold it, you don't ford it. And we all can't afford it anyway.
Motorola innovating again. They are the best at that
Will buy. Can’t wait
Keep in Mind when the original Razr phone came out it was $600, for basic flip phone, compared to 2019 version. So the new price is not bad considering orig cost.
I'm delighted to see it, because the RAZR V3i has been my favourite phone.
I'm also like Nokia, do you have any reviews on Nokia?
Also I play games (FIFA, Top Eleven) on my phone, what's a good phone for playing games on?
I can totally see the external OLED screen being used for most of the things, conserving a lot of battery life.
I’ll have one once the price drops. Like all new technology it’s expensive at first.
Love this design! Praying other manufacturers take notice & move to this form factor!! I don’t need a phablet I need a phone thats easy to pocket & take anywhere, this certainly fits that bill! 👍
I love the flip phone look!!! and I also love how you can Just adjust the quick view and how when you SHAKE the phone it brings up the CAMERA !!!!!
AND FINGERPRINT SENSOR!!!!!! (this phones Amazing!)
It looks AMAZING honestly to me IMO.
But that battery life tho...
Will the phone overheat due to heavy usage?
I can see where the middle of the screen has a slight rising gap when you fold the phone...
Will that get caught on something on or around me eventually?
Can that rip the screen off?
Great idea though!
I'd love to see how they designed it to bend like that and function!
Presented like you're amazed with ahinge and you've never seen a clam shell before
I need this. I still have my analogue Microtac Elite from the early 90s. Phone design was interesting then, you could drop them from head height and they would bounce off concrete. This is a beautiful gadget.
For everyone confused about the price, this is brand new technology. Consider the amount of money Motorola had to put in to develop this new technology. There is no supplier where a phone company can simply buy the screens from. If you’re on a budget, new technology will never be in your budget, however, with enough publicity and sales, this price will slowly drop for all foldable phones.
Hate Android 9 as the split screen feature can't be activated with a long press of the recent key anymore.
Long press the multi tasking key
@@RequiemDream not sure if that's a brand specific feature, but it's not on a Motorola. It went from taking two steps to four on here. Thanks anyway.
Far too expensive but would absolutely love it if more smartphones went for the classic "flip phone" design. Really miss the good ol days of slapping the phone closed to hang up on people.
Good video, thanks for the info 👍🏽
Nice review as ever Chris and that is one phone I def want! :-)
I want this phone! Let's go back to 2000s
I love the look of this phone. I'm wondering how it will stand in 6 months
If they improve the specs and battery, the Razr could potentially be my ideal smart phone. I like the design, I like the fold style, and I think the size is perfect. But the price, specs, and camera defeats it.
Do we know if a video will still play if you close the screen? That could easily boost it a few notches for me
I thought the title meant he used it a week. Nope. Just a week late on the same video everyone else has made lmao. Nice.
Hi this is not MKBHD but i have been using this device for a week so here are my thoughts 😂🤣 your title is somehow hilarious to me
This is insaneee 😍
I've loved the design of Motorola phones, this is actually an awesome looking phone how a true foldable ph should be. Samsung's foldable looks Horribly ugly, yes the price on this is a tad hefty but hey they've put in something so if I have the money I'll sure buy the Motorola
I really like the design of the phone, but what I find concerning is the battery which is a lot smaller than I expected.
2021 update: Phone is on ebay and other resale websites for around 450-800 depending on the deal.
Wow, I thought you had it in your hand! Actually watching to the end I think you did.
Small battery
eSIM only
Midrange specs
No headphone jack
For 1800 eur? Horrible.
minjod 1500*
Gonna buy one the phone is a new benchmark for future folding phone
Being 29 I loved the Razr V3 flip phone...now we are blessed with the V4. You youngins can’t even relate to texting with T9 😂
So my questions would be what kind of support does it have for apps, and how does snapchat work with having to close the phone? That and what kind of water resistance does it have? Id also really like to see the picture quality for hiking and stuff
I m not trying to sound like a complete hater because of the price tag, but the old razr certainly looks more sexy
I am happy buying a Lenovo Smart Display for USD99 now. Awesome device! Time will come when I can buy this device for much cheaper. I am ready to wait!
In the U.S. this phone is only offered through Verizon.
Does anyone know if you can get this phone unlocked form the manufacturer?
I remember my razr when i was in junior high school ❤️
Haven't been this hyped for a phone since blackberry priv
I hope this one not gonna suck though
A question that intrigues me is the plastic display consume less energy than a crystal display? maybe if use less energy it can compensate the relative low battery capacity in Razr, since normal crystal displays takes about 60% of battery consumption in a smartphone
Mr Wayne gonna love it
