Ive had every Samsung Flip and got the Motorola Razr+ as a backup because i kept having issues with my Flips. Ive had no issue with my Razr and could care less about Android 13,14 or 15 as it did NOT affect how i used/interacted with my phone. And before you ask i am NOT a lame phone user and use it for everything from monitoring my vehicle, ID, Wallet and to access and control my home. So there's that.
I agree and, frankly, most of the time when I've had problems with my phone it's been because of Android version updates. I buy a phone for what it is at the time I buy it
I'm a lame phone user and this comment is going to push me to get a Razr+. i just want to kmow how long do these phones survive, coz both Huawei phones i had started lagging at 2 yrs
These phones look super fun, I might buy one of these phones fairly soon. I realized I use to buy phones like HTC and LG cause they were fun phones and I miss that
Does the Razer + comes with a factory screen protector? if so, is resistent? because i have been using the flipz4 since february 2023 and i had to change the screen protector twice, because it started to peel off form the side of one of the hinges and all the way to the other side. The first change was free but i have to pay for the second one.
I do kinda wish that they kept the smaller screen on the normal razr. That would be nice for people who want to have a little detox when they close phone down lol
I wish I could still use my Nextels but no more iden towers here in the USA and my old Razr V3Ms but no 2 g here anymore. Been a Motorola guy since the Piper and beepers in the 90s
Most main cameras on phones are already 24-28mm anything under that will start giving you the fish eye effect. Tele lenses take better shots of human subjects which most people would prefer
@@LTEAndroid I think keeping the ultrawide cam and enhancing the zoom with AI/ML like what Google is doing is a lot better. Using the ultrawide cam for group/selfies is nice.
2 pressing questions: Does it have LE Bluetooth? And What specs protect against the crease? For example i am still using a razr 2020 5G and that screen actually moved a littlw when it folded shut to reduce tension. As a reault im still using this beauty in 2024 with zero crease.
It does have LE Bluetooth. I can't say for sure if there is anything special that helps with the crease, but I've got a 2023 base model that still doesn't really have a noticeable crease, so if the 2024 if improved from that I'm sure it's not a problem
How much do both models differ in energy consumption? There are different processors. Which model will live longer and for how much longer? I listen to UA-cam in the background all day long and my Galaxy S21 is already discharged by 18-00
These are folks that don't own these phones and I can assure you that my Motorola devices from 2023 have gotten updates on a regular some monthly and others bi monthly.
I like the way this looks better than the flip 6 but I I keep hearing mixed thoughts on the Razer. I want to try a fold phone but can’t figure out which one to get
@@bassage13please don’t be a smarty pants. I was thoroughly enjoying this video whilst munching my fried turkey and cheese sandwich until I came across your snide remark.
Disagree, the ultrawide lens has saved so many photos of mine. I use it much more than the 2x - but if the data says that's what people do then I guess I can't argue with that.
I think the razr 50 will see a lot more sale this time. And with discounts, it will be a really good deal. The dimensity 7300X and the external display really turned the table for the moto razr.
If you dont know man try to shut t f up and do some research. They are not doing this because they can get away with it, they are trying to improve there updates and software as much as possible, they said they will improve it, mostly it is due to there new UI and some of it is because of bad blood between moto and google. So first they are trying to improve the matter on there hand such as UI experience, build quality, features, pricing etc. The use and throw tactic of google which moto faced and still from bottom it was able to climb was no less than a miracle, compared to brands like nokia which had hit bottom of the barrel.
While I appreciate more variety in colors from companies, a standard black should always be expected for all models. Some people just don't want a whacky green or pink.
When will these companies learn NOT to have such a long wait between debut and sales. A full month before anyone can get their hands on it. Samsung’s Z Flip will be in customer hands before this and their event isn’t until July 10th. Motorola still operates like it’s a decade ago. It’s going to cost them
@@TonyJenn It’s foolish - has nothing to do with my impatience. It’s a fiercely competitive market and hype/impulse buying plays a real role. Samsung’s event will steal some thunder and their arguably superior foldable will be ready BEFORE Motorola’s. It’s not a decade ago. You can’t have these major gaps after launch unless your name is Apple
This is why I dislike Android authority.. they report on things that they truly know nothing about and act like they do.. The 2024 plus has a snapdragon 8 gen 3 processor in it.. only the regular razr comes with the MediaTech processor...
So many issues with the razor 40 plus. Web pages not displaying properly, external screen glitchy and non responsive (especially for skipping music if it's not unlocked). FP doesn't always unlock the phone when closed. Still running android 13. No sign of any update soon. Camera are meh! Not bad but not fantastic either. The "Moto ready" bloatware is pointless. Overheats like crazy when charging either wireless or wired. All in all it would have been good 3 years ago. But it is cheap so..... Bare in mind these will probably suffer the same issues, it's the same company. NO UPDATES!! Poor support. Also can't plug in a USB-C - 3.5 jack adapter and play music on an amp. (Not compatible). In fact I think it may be the least adaptive and user friendly phone I've owned.
Love the iconic Razr design with modern upgrades! The Razr 50's Dimensity 7300X promises great battery life for all-day use on that gorgeous foldable display.
But i mean theres no 'razor' in this thing. The razr was called razr for a reason; cuz it looked like (gave the impression) of a razor like thing with sharp edges, dynamic shapes, etc. It had this razor-feel to it if yall know what i mean. This thing here has nothing to do with a razor. Its just a smartphone that folds up. BORING.
Only 3 years software update? This is why Apple is on top even if it’s a boring phone but my iPhone X is still receiving updates 😂 this is what happens with an open software they just drop it and release a new device.
Man this host is horrible. He has no content and it seems like his only purpose is to stretch his lines like a kids novel. If u dont like this job, call quits. He has no regard for viewer's time.
@@stephen_sezs I said this because of the design. It looked like a Razor before, unique. Now they've just basically replicated the zflips design because it's successful. If you look at it the regular person isn't going to think it's NOT a flip.
That RAZR is truly disappointing - Since January users have to open the phone to use Google Assistant, and Moto is not even committing to fix this critical user-function, despite still advertising that Assistant can be used with the phone closed. It is a serious defect for a phone that promotes usability when closed. The Lenovo/Moto/RAZR support/discussion board shows how little Moto is taking any responsibility of a broken feature Moto specifically promotes. Moto RAZR... outrageous you have to open the phone to use Google Assistant, awkward, not as advertised, more wear on the hinge and screen fold... since Jan '24 - still that way in June. Great idea, but someone dropped the ball on this critical function.

What issues did you have with the Flips?
Thanks for giving us info on when these phones will be available. Other reviewers never mentioned a word on availability.
No problem 👍
Is desktop mode supported over USB-C this year? Or still limited to 30 Hz over wireless? A functional desktop mode is a must for some of us.
asking the real questions
GSMArena says the connection is USB 2.0, and 2.0 doesn’t have the bandwidth past 30hz
i wish google pixel would come out with a flip phone
I still wish phone manufacturers would consider bringing back the headphone jack on their phones.
If they did, they must include a DAC like LG did on its V series
They aren't going to do that while they've got bluetooth buds and headphones to sell..
Its the audio and headphone companies.
@@parshakamarshyup I agree we’ve moved from that era unfortunately
@@RacerC45 better off buying a Sony Walkman if you can afford em
i'd love to see a full camera review of both and how does one differ from another.
These phones look super fun, I might buy one of these phones fairly soon. I realized I use to buy phones like HTC and LG cause they were fun phones and I miss that
I loved my LG3 with the screen case on it back in the day before they stopped making phones :(
0:47 This year, the outer display is 165Hz on the Razr 50 Ultra and 90Hz on the Razr 50.
Great vid! How about takin selfies (night time/low light) with the main cam when folded? Can the flash be activated? Anyone?

Me too. Next they're going to have the entire back be another screen
Yeah it's also just more gimmicky. No one wants to big phones
2:05 It took a whole 4 seconds to accept the pin and unlock???!!!!!
😂
Mine definitely doesn't have that problem 😂😂😂 must be a review unit.
This thing will be a fashion statement in 2024. Wow.
I'm sure 90% of these commentors haven't used a moto.
I wish I could still use my Nextels but no more iden towers here in the USA and my old Razr V3Ms but no 2 g here anymore. Been a Motorola guy since the Piper and beepers in the 90s
Why they remove the ultra wide camera on the razr+?? It doesn't make sense for me
It does. Most ppl like to zoom

The only thing you need to know is that you'll never get updates for these phones.
Exactly
Darn that sucks!
Bruh 💀
Says on the site the razr will get three years of software updates.
These are folks that don't own these phones and I can assure you that my Motorola devices from 2023 have gotten updates on a regular some monthly and others bi monthly.
are there cases i put on these phones? i drop my phone a lot.
Yes there is there is a lot on Amazon
So like a decade later they still don’t receive updates?
I like the way this looks better than the flip 6 but I I keep hearing mixed thoughts on the Razer. I want to try a fold phone but can’t figure out which one to get
Watching this on my moto razr 2024. Came from iPhone 15 and no complaints/issues so far.
Have the 2024 +, keeping the SE3 for iTunes.
Can you return missed calls from the cover display?
Sounds basic, but the razr 40+ can't.
0:46 *165hz
Finally seems like Moto nailed the Razr, looks fantastic
Can you hide the front punch hole cam?
Just got the base model Razr 2024 for $128 at cricket wireless.
What do you use ?
Why does the US version only have 256 gb for storage?
When are they coming to U.S.?
July 10th pre-order starts and availability on the 24th.

why they dont do a plus in black edition? ist a common color
I think the razr 50 will see a lot more sale this time. And with discounts, it will be a really good deal. The dimensity 7300X and the external display really turned the table for the moto razr.
MediaTek has always impressed me on moto devices. At a minimum, the Motorola guys having a go at a cheaper chipset, is gooooood for consumers!
I love the look of the hardware, but I can't see spending $1,000 on a phone that doesn't get timely software updates.
They usually go on sale after a month or two.
ong
Do they make the batteries in these with cobalt and coltan from the DR Congo?
you know they do
Yes
Who cares? Don’t buy any electronics if your worried about that, get one flip phone and be happy with it.
They need to come to the party with updates otherwise I'd be in. That applies to all the Chinese phones.
So impressed with the Dimensity 7300X! Can't wait to see what phones use it. I think on these moto devices they will be having this one.
Tech sites should refuse to review these until Moto updates last year's Razrs to 14. Moto does this because they can get away with it.
If you dont know man try to shut t f up and do some research. They are not doing this because they can get away with it, they are trying to improve there updates and software as much as possible, they said they will improve it, mostly it is due to there new UI and some of it is because of bad blood between moto and google.

3000 nits 165Hz is crazy
with a very very tiny battery
Deals are around the corner.
great phone no update
Spritz Orange for the Plus PLLLEEEEEEASE!!! 😕
Motorola doesn’t have pulltabs for easier battery removal for repair purposes unlike Samsung’s foldables.
They need to get on Verizon
While I appreciate more variety in colors from companies, a standard black should always be expected for all models. Some people just don't want a whacky green or pink.
3000 Nits is crazyyy. Isn't it? How does it feel like holding such a bright and vibrant display?
its probably just for hdr content, like the oneplus's '4600' nits

Love Motorola
Why should I upgrade my 2023 model? In general - AI is garbage by the way. $20 a month after 3 months. Easy pass.
If the cameras are still not actually good, the wouldn’t be worth it no matter what they do
mediatek (not the flagship) considering this is a 900+ mobile. doesn't make any sense.

MediaTek Dimension 7300X
