Motorola RAZR+ in 2024: I can't do this anymore!

- It's difficult to beat the Moto RAZR+ for $699. It's been an incredible phone after almost a year, and it's the one phone I always regret having to pull my SIM out of. If I had to pick a phone I'd daily drive, the Moto RAZR+ would be at the top of the list.

I can only tell you so many times...this device is definitely the foldable you want!
The camera is crap 💩
Camera is good enough for normal picture taking . I don't think you should buy any foldable phone if pictures are what someone is concerned with to start. But other than that mine has been great.
@@Involvement82 Gcam can make a big difference
I love this phone!!! ....... android 14 ?
Is the video camera acceptable for a flagship? I really like this motorola looks cool
Can confirm. Had the Razr+ and returned it to go to the Flip 5. Very much wish I still had the Razr. It was so much better
I am looking forward to see what Motorola has to offer later this year. The two things I want to see on this year’s Razr+ is a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor and better water resistance.
Definitely looking into the Moto Razr Plus 2024. Just hoping for a bit bigger battery and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3
It's definitely a cool looking phone and maybe if I wasn't a contractor and so I was in not such clean places all the time I would get it but with the way I'm around dust and stuff it's just not practical to have a folding phone but it definitely is a cool looking phone
Can you use Google Maps GPS on the outer display? I just got the non + Razr for $150. Can't do much on that screen.
You can on the larger one. I forget which video on the device but I do show that at one point, it works well.
I absolutely love the look of this phone. If i wasn’t so locked in to apples ecosystem already (AirPods, Watch, iPad, and iPhone) I’d consider switching… but i don’t thing any of my other products would work with it.
That's how Apple gets you for sure!
We definitely need android 14 on this phone
Can't decide to get razr+ or the standard razr. I'm not sure that I really need the outside screen, but the tiny screen on the standard seems not near as useful. Also, I could probably wait a month and get the new standard razr 2024 for the same current price as the razr+ 2023. argh
I got the standard razr Nov 2023. I am really leaning towards the plus. The from screen on the standard is useless. Just get the plus, trust me
@@Dr.Loomis666 thank you!
Hi. I sent mine back for a creaky screen when opening. Tempted to try again. Does yours creak?
No, definitely doesn't creak, might have been a bad unit.
questions:
do you need a motorola account? or can I just skip it and use only my google account for apps / sign in?
Can you get a solid day out of this?
How's cellular reception vs the other phones you daily?
I have it and you don't need Motorola account, reception is great
And yes you get a whole day of it, I work and use it on my breaks but it holds pretty good on battery
I was really hoping that Samsung's excellent software support of 7 yrs for its foldables would light a fire under Motorola to at least bump up its support a notch or two. Sadly, this has not been the case thus far.
For $700 you can get the regular 2024 razr which has the same size outer screen and similar specs.
One nice thing for those on the fence between Motorola and Samsung is that the release dates are very close together so people can compare reviews before choosing which to buy.
I have the prime razor and it my favorite phone ever. And I paid 140$ out the door
I really like the RAZR+, but I unfortunately have to stick with Samsung because I use Sound Assistant for so much
Got a razr 2024 thought I wanted to jump on the flip smartphone bandwagon & welp that novelty wore off fast! it's just not for me, bit to heavy & thick of a device when closed & to big & long of a screen when opened, But the final straw for me was google Gemini is a NIGHTMARE at least on android 14 in the newest releases & it only works long story short about idk 40 percent of the time & assistant wont work period! when the phone is closed! (it's a big known issue,) But ya these issues & the form factor aren't for me, just fyi for anyone else it looks good online etc, but check one out do your research & make sure you really want it! My galaxy S20 & Iphone 12 though IMHO work Way better still then the razr!
I haven’t looked yet, is this dust & water resistant?
Not as much as Samsung unfortunately, but it's still good for everyday use. Just can't submerge it
The '24 models are IPX8, ie water resistant (sumbersible) but not dust.
My favorite phone of all time was the magenta razor with art by ami James that was years ago..
My daughter dropped it in the bathtub given a grand baby a bath.
This new one Wow, seriously looking into getting one!
It's a really good phone!
@@StevealiciousTech definitely next on my list! Ty for the recommendation. You rock!
Mine seemed to get hot quickly and I sent it back. Anyone else?
90% of the video is showing the back of the phone
The front isn't as pretty. You're welcome.
I brought cheaper moto razor 50 bigger battery and fm radio then 50 ultra and it’s not worth spending the extra money for ultra 50 in humble opinion and my new moto razor 50 is better then my old Samsung flip z 5 with a bigger cover screen
That is the only thing about Moto the android updates apart from that they make beautiful phones.
I switched to T-mobile and get the new Razr 2024 for Free and it was reduced to $499
I’d have to buy the flip4 on Amazon or eBay for under 300 bucks in mint condition over this. I’m not saying it’s not a good device I just trust Samsung software.
Yeah, Samsung is definitely more reliable with software, but I've seen a lot of Flip 4 screen failures over the last year or so that scare me on a used Flip 4.
my samsung flip phone screen had crease right at the middle of phone after the 2 years of warranty.. WTF! hope this phone dont have this freaking problem! I will never trust Samsung phone again!
Orange all day
It’s $0.00 right now at T-mobile.
With all the fees come out to about $160
Our taxes must be lower.
apples operation system is user friendly. andriod is confusing
I find it's the reverse! Just can't get used to Apple's way of doing things. Guess it's what you're used to.
Flip 6 is better then this
Until Moto do something about their update situation, I won't even both with their stuff...
How often do you update your phone
I have the Razr 2024, great phone
I've had my Motorola Razr Plus since it dropped and unfortunately I had to get the black because AT&t didn't have the Viva magenta which is the one I really wanted and I must say I have quite a few phones in my arsenal and this is definitely one of my favorite phones to use I highly recommend it and it's definitely held up since I've had it no issues no problems whatsoever and battery life is really good Make it through a day easy and I'm a heavy user thanks for the video my friend I really enjoy your content keep up the good work. The only issue I have is the OS updates their year behind.
Thanks! And yep, they are a bit slow with the updates, but unlike previous years...I have a feeling we will at least get them.
I also have att and had to get the black and hate the frosted glass instead of the vegan leather on the magenta that leather gives you such a good grip vs the slippery on the frosted glass
Fair warning to anyone that lives coastal. Any tin bit of sand you possibly have in your pockets will make its way into the hinge.
Yeah, that's unfortunately going to be for almost any folding device for a bit.
just used my phone upgrade to get it. coming from 3 generations of the z flip. excited for the switch
Love this phone. Have had it a week & iv been a diehard samsung fan for over 12 years & im a full convert now lol
Yea I'm selling my Fold4 for the moto 50
@@gymbagger 3 weeks in & I still love the 40 ultra so great desicion if U ask me lol
I looked at the fold but couldnt wrap my head around the size of the thing!!! 😂
With careful use, the screen on mine had that issue of the thin led strip breaking in the middle, right where it folds. id avoid it folks
that's literally my only worry when buying flip phones. It happens even on samsung. Either you're lucky or unlucky.
If i get this phone, it need to have a case with the ring on the hinge, like flip 4 or 5
So I’ve had the Z Flip 4 in the past as my entry into foldable phones, I liked it but it seemed bulky. I’m back on an iPhone 15 Pro Max and over here eyeing the Motorola Razr because of the nostalgia of the name. My first phone was a V3C Razr and now I really want another Razr
It's a cool phone for sure!
I am curious I am using an IPhone 15 Pro Max right now I used to have a ZFlip5 but it was way too narrow for me to use is this the same width as my iPhone or is it just as narrow as the ZFlip which is comically narrow and in my opinion unusable
The only problem I got with mine is it only has 8gb of ram and constantly closes apps to save memory, the new model needs a definite bump in memory but all in all it's a great phone.
I love the phone but still waiting for Android 14. Think I'm going to Apple.
Well you definitely won't get Android 14 on an Apple! Seriously though, I don't get why people are so concerned about A14, when my previous phone updated to it I could not see any difference. I agree with Stevealicious, the security updates are a must, but a full OS update, while nice, is not essential. If you can say specifically what A14 has that's essential, I'd love to hear it!
BTW I just bought a razr 2024 (non-plus), Aug 24, came with A14. So far so good! I don't see that the plus is worth the extra money, especially with the deals carriers are offering on the standard razr - US$300 via T-Mobile.
I have the non plus model and love it. I like not have a larger outer display...for me it suits my needs. The few options that the outer display offers, is all i need. Plus i got it for $149.99...😅
What a deal! Hard to beat for that.
@@StevealiciousTechagreed
Where'd you get it for that money? I got one for $225
Bought brand new 2 days later screen unresponsive
Going to check if I like the feel of it in store but I'll most likely be getting this device, loving everything I've seen so far
And I’m like thinking about it. What kept me off from Androids was the charger port that for some reason are always prone to get damaged. Which is why I end up with iPhone ever since, using the same phone for 4 years and don’t have a problem.
I just bought the new Moto RAZR 50 Ultra today on an official pre-sale, and the price was on the 512gig version. 450 usd beliw the official price.
This was only for certain members though. Got the blue one👍
How can you be a member?
@@fightnight14 I'm not a member at Motorola, but at the " shop-chain" where I bought it here in Norway 🤘
@@Eivind.A man that was a deal. I doubt that they will do that in Muricah, they will go bankrupt with the loss
my oneplus nord died at a wedding this weekend saw the sale, its a steal
to me the os is and should be on time like other company's but apps run on all os there might be some that don't but to me I don't care I don't have tons of apps to me the security updates need to be on time and should be has long has the phones are still being used to do security updates till the phone don't turn on people need to contact Motorola and say hay os updates need to be out like Samsung ect. not one or two people but everyone that buys Motorola..and what are the number of security updates for the razr.. And to me have a good antivirus on phone should be good so if not security updates at least scan apps ect.with antivirus
Yes-yiu try buying a hot pink 50Ultra in Great Britain.A real conversation piece.Cannot get one on any UK mobile network.
Just bought a new one off Amazon for $549.99 ..2023 model. Coming today
How often do you update your phone
Wish every carrier had this phone, let’s go Verizon 😂
if this has 12gb ram and 512gb rom and bigger battery i wouldve tried it
a phone like this running in android 13 is inadmisible...that's why i got the flip 5..... the moto looks better and has a better experience overall
Right, so what in Android 14 to you is worth a worse experience and worse look?
Do you think a new razr will be coming out from Motorola soon or should i get this?
One came out already. It's for 2024, I do have some update videos on it.
Moto RAZR... outrageous you have to open the phone to use Google Assistant... since Jan '24 - still that way in May. Great idea, but someone dropped the ball on this critical function.
Well, it's fixed now (Aug/24). Gemini works fine on the external screen with the phone closed
@@pmstirling Thanks for the info. Sadly, it is not clear if Gemini has the all the functionality of the classic voice assistant.
According to Google's Info Pages: " If you switch to use Gemini ... Gemini will replace Google Assistant as the primary assistant on your device." It also states that Gemini uses Google Assistant to perform some functions like calls and texts.
Because of that latter statement I am still not certain if one can make calls, send texts, etc. using Gemini on A14 if the classic assistant does not work with the phone closed.
Unfortunately, if one updates to A14, the classic and more functional voice assistant is completely disabled with the phone closed due to the update - all reports to date indicate. There is no going back.
So, I will wait to update to A14 and Gemini until the functionality on a RAZR40 with phone closed is better known by me. Appreciate the thought.... there may be hope.
I love my Razr+ I take two phones with me at all times. I have Razr+ and IPhone 13 mini when I travel or off work. And switch phones with both of them, to a Z Fold 5 with the s-pen and a IPhone 14 Pro Max for work and meetings. The smaller form factors of the Razr+ and IPhone 13 mini come in clutch! If I want a bigger display I’ll open my Razr+ and always get compliments and people stopping me and asking questions about it. And then when I have my Z fold 5 that also comes with it compliments as well.
Sorry to disagree. Moto needs to do the updates in a timely manner if you are spending what you are on the phone.
We get too wrapped up in that. Moto is giving the security updates and patches in a timely manner. They take extra time with the major upgrades. It just came to the ThinkPhone, it will come to this. I rather they take their time and keep the thing running well then rush out junk like some other OEMs. Nothing about Android 14 screams update or anything you need on this phone.
@StevealiciousTech if we spend all that money on a phone then the latest update to Android shouldn't take forever to come.
@@YankeesGiantsis Android 14 really going to change your daily experience that much? Probably not.....why stress it
I think with some of the reported privacy features found in the Android 15 Beta, I think being concerned not getting the update to 15 this year is fair!
Before I even was into phones like I am now
I would get pissed when they updated
I be liking the way it is out the box
