I'll let you know, I ordered mine yesterday so should get it soon. Just to wind you up, I'm in the UK so we get double the storage, a 68w charger and a case in the box - not to mention a set of moto buds+ :) all for the same price
@@localblackman427 I would say it's better than the 2023 Razr+ but not the 2024. But they are close, and the additional bells and whistles the plus offers weren't worth an additional $300 to me.

@@localblackman427 The standard razr only has the better price, bigger battery, and ultrawide camera. Other then that the Razr plus 2024 is better. Larger cover screen, faster charging, higher refresh rate screens, better processor. I didn't care about any of that though because I already have the flip 6. I got the standard razr 2024 for both me and my wife through cricket for $220 each so it was a no brainer. At $220, this is hands down the best phone you can buy (it retails for $600-$700, at that point I'd just spend the extra $150 and catch the Razr+ on sale for $850). Honestly I like the Razr better than the flip 6. The 4 shortcomings of the flip 6 are addressed by the standard razr which are Gboard on the cover screen, a dedicated tent mode, an actual recent apps switcher for multitasking, and better battery. My main gripe on the flip 6 is battery. My battery is just as bad as it was on the 5 so I'm hoping a software update can fix it but out the box the battery on the moto is good and even better with battery saver on. If the standard moto razr is this good I can only imagine how good the plus is. Either way 🤷🏾♂️ I can't go back to solely owning a slab phone again. My only slab phone is my iPhone 🤣
I think it's because Samsung know they're gonna sell way more of the flip 6 than Motorola will sell of the razr+, so no need to make any major changes. Samsung have gotten pretty damn lazy lately!
Thank you about the crease comment. My z flip 6's crease has gotten so much worse, at this point it's indistinguishable from the last gen 2 weeks into owning the phone.
I’ve had iPhone for years…I keep looking up reviews of these…I guess I’m worried that I’m gonna miss some of the Apple features…is it easy to switch to android?
Man the more I see this the more I want it. I told myself I wouldn't even look at foldables but this one just speaks to me. Only thing I worry about is the crease. Would it stand out enough to just flat out bother me
I do agree in most of what you're saying. I'd prefer a wide angle camera though. Even though I'm aaalmost a Samsung Knight, I can't stand the form of the Z Flip 5&6' screens. The Razr's is almost perfect. What I find weird is that here overseas (Norway) it's called Razr 50 ULTRA, and it comes with Everything in the box! A real good case, uSB-C, a 67W charger, a strap to attach to the case and some more. It's weird. My conclusion is that even though f.eks the ZF6 have a bit better hardware and cameras, 7 years update, I would still buy the Razr 50 ULTRA any day of the week. 🤘from Norway. 🇧🇻 Xcellent video btw👍🖖👍
Hey Shane, great review on this phone. I have a question that I think someone with your knowledge could probably answer. Do you know where Motorola stores its data collected from users? Is it the United States or China since its an post-American company that is owned by Lenovo? Based on your review, I am very interested in purchasing this device but am a bit apprehensive about privacy. Big thanks if you could answer this for me.
I had the 2023, and wow looks fully updated. I’m waiting till 2025 for a next release. And please more storage… also I liked the haptic sound on the 23 hahah
Thank you for the very detailed comparison of the cover screen between the 2 latest RAZRs! I will now consider buying the regular RAZR since it's *only* ~USD480 here in Asia (I know it's more expensive there in North America). The extra real estate of the RAZR+ is really good but just too expensive for me😅
I just got the Razr +, I switched from the Z-Flip 4, I really like the software (more stock) version of Android. I am wondering about this "only charging the battery to 80%,..whats the reasoning for that?
I really like where Motorola have gone. Except they need to really have more frequent and longer support. Samsung and Pixel have 7 years support. The only thing about Samsung that really galls me is their use of Exynos chips in their 24 plus and 24 for international market. I really hate them for that. And even for the 24 Ultra they don't offer the 1 TB model. At least with Apple you get the same models worldwide. Also get rid of the bloatware. Like McAfee.
Just picked this up 36 hours ago!! Picked it up at best buy instead of the zflip6. That front display and cheaper price were beyond a no-brainer! Should have bought from moto for the free bose buds... But its alright. Yhe crease is better on this than the flip as well
You can also get em slightly used open box on e bay for really cheap. I got my moto razr 40 ultra for like 490$ carrier unlocked the thing was basically brand new when I got it. No cosmetic issues or anything
For anyone buying this phone, put a screen protector on the external display. I've had this phone for 1 month and the external display is all scratched up
For the first time ever, I will proudly let people know I still chew my fingernails at age 41. Who would've thought that it would help me preserve a potential new phone in my future. 🙂
7 years of software support is a gimmick, trust me. Honestly, would you still want to keep your phone 6 yrs from now, even though it would still be getting updates? what about the hardware ? would it compete with a 2031 flagship, minding the fact that technology changes are overwhelming these days.
At least the charging cable can handle the 45w charge, whereas Samsung's cables in the box max out at 25w like on the S24 Ultra. Compact 45w chargers are pretty easy to find for around $20 these days. On the whole tho yes its pretty crazy that these companies get away with not including a charger
Great device EXCEPT motorolas software and security update guarantees is a joke. 3 or 4 years total. Google and Samsung are 7 years. ONE+ is 3 or 4 years. So you spent $1k for 3 or 4 years software and security update? No thanks for me or my wife.
Flip 5 6 r fu king dump, you give us a front screen that can't do shi t , like razr, Gaming , UA-cam, texting 10 thumbs 👍 plus for Razr SSUMG FLIP 5 6 , YA NEED TO UPGRADE AND LEARN FROM YOUR COPIES😊
Wanted to purchase it but when I went to their website I didn't see where they took any traded in. So I said forget it. They should at least accept Samsung flip trade in to take something off the phone 😢.
What are your thoughts on the Razr+ 2024? Thanks for watching!
Hey Shane where's the s24 or s24 plus video or even the buds 3 pro video or the buds 3 video or the bids fe video

Love seeing that brands are branching out with the colorways. That green looks great.
I got the standard Razr and absolutely love it. The only phone in the entire world I'd take over it is the Razr+
Same
From what I understand, the standard razor is actually better than the plus

that outside display is its selling point for sure😍
What's funny is that the screen panels are made by Samsung, and they make the screens on the razr+ more futuristic and better ❤

@Alexander0189 I know, right, and I honestly don't like the watch Ultra and The Buds 3 and 3 Pro.
Got the regular Razr 2024 2 days ago and it is everything ive ever wanted in a smartphone, its so amazing
Thank you about the crease comment. My z flip 6's crease has gotten so much worse, at this point it's indistinguishable from the last gen 2 weeks into owning the phone.
How is that possible? Some people report usage for longer time and have no issues.
I’ve had iPhone for years…I keep looking up reviews of these…I guess I’m worried that I’m gonna miss some of the Apple features…is it easy to switch to android?
Yes. Android, is like Windows. Pretty easy to learn to use. Microsoft, I believe helped Google to make Android.
Man the more I see this the more I want it. I told myself I wouldn't even look at foldables but this one just speaks to me. Only thing I worry about is the crease. Would it stand out enough to just flat out bother me
It’s far less bothersome than on Samsungs foldables for a point of comparison, visually and physically

Im an apple sheep and the only phone o wouldve chosen if i ever switch was the Pixl. But now that i see this one omg its so cool
Apple is lame
Don't get deep into the apple eco system and you'll be fine!
If the outer display is turned on its side does it go to a traditional phone ratio?
Yes, I have one and a little icon on the bottom left appears to toggle it
I just got the Razr +, I switched from the Z-Flip 4, I really like the software (more stock) version of Android. I am wondering about this "only charging the battery to 80%,..whats the reasoning for that?
That is a general practice with batteries to preserve the battery health in the long term
Gotta ask, how does the front screen handle osrs? 🤔
Handles it well, check out end of vid for some gameplay
@@ShaneSymonds sickk, this may have just sold me on the razr+ lmao
Flip 6 vs razr+ 2024 please?
Haven’t played RuneScape in a minute but AFKing on the outer screen would be pretty sick lol
I thought Google fi would have this by now but maybe they aren't going to sell the plus version this year 😬
THE SAMSUNG FLIP FRONT SCREEN DOESN'T COVER THE WHOLE SCREEN 😂😂😂😂😂☠️☠️☠️

You're gonna scratch the screen with your thumbnail if you keep opening it one handed like that.

@@KevboKevnah it might make them jagged and scratch it even more easily
@@KevboKev sameee. I'm not 40 tho
Once you flip you won't go back
@Shane Symonds The Razr+ really looks good. If I weren't such a Samsung fan, I'd get that.
If they only have 7yrs of android software upgrade... I'll definitely choose razr+ 2024

wow
Love it ❤❤❤
They should just make the Razr+ and just call it Razr. That being said, the regular Razr is the better value.
You forgot to mention the midnight blue (my next phone)
I had it in my editing program but the final rendered video didn't show it for some reason! Blue was going to be my choice if there wasn't a green
