Processor and chipsets... Yeah, that's for the 5% of phone buyers who care about this kind of stuff. Screen brightness, battery life, charging speed, use single handed, vanilla Android, how the hinge feels, does the leather bind against your pocket or slide smoothly... That's kinda what most folks are into.
@@brooklynforge4591 I'm with ya. Phones are too damn big nowadays, something like this sounds great. I like the idea of the Samsung Fold where you don't really open the phone unless you want a bigger screen, but in a half-sized form factor. I don't need a nearly 7in screen 99% of the time I use my phone, but it's nice to have when you want it. Definitely considering Razr+ since it's the first of these clamshells to offer decent functionality and size of the outer screen (at least in the US)
Everyone including tech reviewers forgets that IP rating numbers are separate, in IP52 only the 2 refers to water resistance, the 5 refers to dust resistance
I literally got this phone today, in the magenta after my Galaxy z flip 4 died from the black screen of death. So far I’m enjoying it especially the external screen ❤
After two years with Z flip 3 I am never going back to a full size phone again. The pocket size of the phone is just too good and practical. The Motorola big half screen looks great and might be the standard for other flip phones too. The compromise you get when you go for a flip phone is absolutely okay to live with. While I am waiting on Z flip 5 I will definitely keep this under my radar and keep watching reviews to see what experience people have with the Motorola phone.
Have the Razr for 2 weeks now, coming from a Flip 3. Wanted to see what the Flip 5 was all about. My Flip 3 was on its last leg so I had to get something quickly. So far I really like the Razr!
i think another reason there is less battery on the razr+ vs the razr is that Motorola built the razr+ to be used closed more than open and so there is a smaller screen and less pixels to power for everyday use. With the standard razr you still have to open it to really intact and use it so its mainly powering the large display and so i think that we will see similar battery life from both.
Do you think we could get decent battery life or should I pass? I had the Z Flip 3 and it going dead by 4PM made it unusable. I debloated it as much as possible but it didn't help much.
It's not the phone for me, I like book foldables over clamshells but I REALLY like this implementation on the Razr+. Love Samsung and all but always glad to see other makers still sticking in the game
Hi, I'm here to watch this video 😊 to be honest, I really like the design of the regular Motorola Razr from the Razr+ because the regular Razr looks elegant
I agree with the whole trying not to be on your phone as often. Bigger phones lead to being on them more often which i see as a huge negative. Especially when your already on it day and night. Itd be great to just take a step back. Smell the coffee once in awhile.
razr reboot of this past years are still missing few things that make the original so iconic: 1. the springy-ness of the hinge, opening & closing the original were so satisfying 2. the signature shape & silhouette i.e. protruding chin & tapered top edge (the 2019 version was quite close but they didn't retain it in the subsequent releases)
I have the 2020 5g razr so the most important thing to see with this new one is battery life. I have to charge this phone twice during a 24 hr day and Google maps is slightly slow and laggy at some points
Very well done presentation. If it was up to me, I'll go with the original razor that outside screen looks like it would be too easy to get broke, And the battery life on the original is so much better as well.😊
I hope I can someday get one of these It looks like it could also be an awesome wearable... If I can customize a stenography that I can use to type, play piano/organ, and play console/PC quality games
04.21.24 got the razr this weekend ... Never even seen the razr + until my ex told me about his last night. /(He tried to remove the screen protector on the external screen, lol 😂 don't do that// tore off his whole screen 😂 )
After having my zflip for two years, I'm not going back until they are better covered for crease cracks. The galaxy should have lasted longer or been covered for repair. I'll wait to see how this does over time.
How are the speaker/speakers? I have a Zflip3 and my music sounds fairly good from its speakers. Not the quality of my ear buds, but competent enough for using maps or streaming.
...And the Razr 2022 is awesome!!! It looks better than this year's Razr flip phones. I have the (Chinese version) Flip 2022, and I won't be upgrading. Looks like Motorola is going backward...
It's getting confusing. In EU there is the Razr'22 which is a cross in front screen size to the + and that '23. 🤔 The '23 looks more like the RAZR 40 here.
Samsung bloats the crap of of their phones though, having a light barebones OS on a flip would be a blessing. I had the Z Flip 3 but the battery life made it unusable. I absolutely love how the screen wraps around the cameras, its beautiful.
I got 2 of these new Razr+ phones in magenta. One of the phones heats up so fast and high on my charger it could melt my freezer...its that warm in my hand. I call it "explosion temperature". Worse on a 1k phone they did not include a phone charger just a wire that becomes useless after you transfer phone from android to android. (I wont even tell you what a nightmare Iphone transfer to Android was. They don't include a wire that can do that!). Seriously think twice before buying this shiny red phone. Its even impossible to figure out how to turn it off and it took me an hour to locate and sort of use the fingerprint scanner (I kid you not!). I have serious buyers remorse not to mention T-mobile is still not able to port over my old phone number from ATT from an unblocked paid off phone. I should have switched to the S23 Samsung Galaxy phones with a better battery (I think) and more reliable hardware. I am not at all impressed by this Razr+. Buyer beware. Think twice before purchasing. Getting free of ATT is a whole other nightmare. I will try T-mobile but so far we are not off to a good start with this subpar phone you can't turn off, port over your old att phone number from, or charge without spending even more money. My Google Alarm Clock phone charger turns one of these Razr+ phones into a handwarmer...yikes!
Thank you for the info. I am on day 3 of my new 2023 Razr Plus, and have found it a bit difficult to navigate and understand compared to my old GS8 Plus. I wanted to stay in Android, and thought this would be a good fun for work. It is very sensitive to the touch, and a lot more sophisticated than any other phone I have had. But, patience, and videos like yours, can really help. This phone does a lot, and I doubt that I will use all of it features So far, I am not sure if I like the phone, but I think so. LOL
I bought it then sent it back. 99% of everybody talks about the exterior screen but I couldn't give a flyimg f about that because I don't buy a phone with a big screen just so I can look at the little tiny screen on the outside.... I think people are getting paid to talk about the exterior screen because I guess Motorola thinks that's all it has going for it. The interior display is too skinny, not enough ram, awful camera and terrible battery.... I think that they're paid to focus on the exterior screen because maybe that is the best part of it but if that's all you're looking for then play with your little outside display....
60 Hz on outside and 120 Hz on inside then invest more into the cameras would have the better decision. But otherwise this is a genuinely compelling offering that makes me feel very optimistic for Motorola for the first time in a long time.
Motorola worst for updates and support I had the 2020 RAZR should have learnt bought the 2022 RAZR still waiting for Android 13,before you spend your money on the new RAZR maybe wait and see what people are saying about updates and security updates as they are the slowest ever..
@@ghostedsuicide I had the 2020 RAZR from new I got support for 2 years then finished,I sold it bought a 2nd hand Samsung Galaxy flip 3 the updates were coming all the time it got Android 13 and security updates all the time the screen started to crack in the middle so I bought the RAZR 2022 I totally regret it trust me I think the Samsung is a better choice but the screen cracking in the the middle is the issue I have with them..I hope this reply will help some more..peace.
This is just my opinion, but I would rather wait a couple more months for the base model 2023 Razr and compare THAT against the Galaxy Z Flip 4. As a longtime budget Apple iPhone user, the greatest Specs and the newest flashy features aren't everything in a smartphone for me. I would rather get a reasonably affordable folding phone that allows for a decent upgrade over my current phone, while STILL being a new and unique device, instead of breaking the bank or being pushed into a long term contract that I don't need just to try to look cool.
Please be careful, I spent last year dealing with poor customer service from Motorola with their previous version of RAZR, which was defective. Now I own a $1000 paperweight...
3 main complaints: 1. Ready For support is wireless-ONLY (but at least it has Ready For built-in). 👍 2. The USB port is apparently 2.0 instead of 3.1 like the 2020 Razr 5G has. 👎 3. Much smaller battery vs the base Razr 2023 model. 👎
I'm so glad that I bought the Razr 2022 (Chinese version) last year. These new line of Moto Razr flips (US version) SUCKS!!! They look like Samsung knock offs... especially the standard Razr - that copied Samsungs two yrs old, 2021 flip tiny (clock only) display. Just Awful!!!
I used the one of the first Star TAC phones.. and it was really cool for the time. Reminded you of the original Star Trek Communicator. I later used a Motorola Pure and it was a pretty okay phone.. now this.. Looks great but around the price of an Iphone.. Especially a used Iphone... I will pass.. Even an older IPhone will be better than this.What Am I using now? A ZTE Blade x1 5g.. with 128gigs storage plus an SD of 128. A 4000 milli-amp battery. Really the only thing I hate about the ZTE? Cases You can't by an Otterbox or any other armored case for it. I only paid about $350. I'm not trying to sell ZTE.. My point is you can get a phone for a reasonable price for under $1000.... Although the Moto is cool.. but not $1000 cool. Just saying.
I got a good deal on a TCL Mate 20 Pro, and yeah the hardware is alright, but the software bugs are killing me. Randomly the bottom half of the screen stops accepting touch inputs. I don't reliably get message notifications other than SMS (Facebook, telegram, DMs from various apps, emails - all are flaky if I don't have the app actively open). Since it updated to android 12, if I make a phone call, it hangs up after 29 minutes and 10 seconds (I thought the DMV was hanging up on me the first time it happened). All those little things have been like a pebble in my shoe for the last two years, and I'm just waiting for the day my contract is up so I can yeet this thing into the sun (or trade it in)
I had forgotten about my Star Tac phone from waaaay back. That was great. Now using the Z Flip 3 which I love but will upgrade this summer to Razr Plus or Z Flip 5 depending on the details of the Samsung. This Moto is a real competitor though.
For that price i don't think you can go wrong. The smaller Razr which they haven't released the price on yet might be the phone to get. For under a $1000 .
The 2020 Razr 5G dropped to $600 just a few months after it launched at $1,400+Tax. I doubt this new cheaper Razr 2023 model will sell that well. The Razr+ is what has people so intrigued with its larger outer display.
Also, the Surface Duo is no longer being made, and MS has closed it going forward. They are now developing a foldable like the Pixel Fold to save face.
This is not the Motorola of yore. It's a Lenovo subsidiary now, so just another arm of the Chinese government. The only thing American about this is the branding. No telling when this device will eventually be banned. Save your money.
Good smartphones, but frankly neither of the 2 is a good deal in my opinion, I mean in my opinion. Unless you're a diehard Motorola fan, or a Samsung hater, the Flips 4 and 5 are better options. The Razr + Ultra at $1000 loses to Samsung's upcoming Flip 5 which will have an external screen almost as large as Motorola's, a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and especially a better software tracking , and the standard Razr is not even a competitor for the Flip 4 which is very often around $700 new.
Ready For > Samsung Dex. Razr+ has Ready For built-in although it's wireless-ONLY. No Z Flip so far supports Dex. If the Z Flip 5 doesn't come with Dex support then the Razr+ has a big advantage.
According to Flip5 rumours, there will be little difference between this RAZR+ and Flip5. Especially at the market it is aimed at. Very few buyers will worry about the SoC differences (mainly the GPU). The Flip5 will be more polished, but people may buy these more for the design, colours, look and feel. The RAZR+ definitely is eye candy and will surely sell well and eat into Samsungs sales.
@@andyH_EnglandHonestly, I don't see the big difference in design between the 2 smartphones 🤷🏽♂️ On the other hand, what I do know is that most people have more confidence in Samsung than in Motorola, and the 8 Gen 2 beyond the difference in power, will surely benefit the Flip 5 in terms of efficiency and battery life 🔋, but we'll see.
Why is Motorola such a crappy brand now. The Razr means nothing to Gen Z cause they never grew up with the razr flip phone. Every time they revive razr as a smart phone, they've been mediocre so gen z isn't interested. The millenials love the razr original flip phone but not the razr branded smartphones. They know better. So who exaclty is this phone for?
Processor and chipsets... Yeah, that's for the 5% of phone buyers who care about this kind of stuff. Screen brightness, battery life, charging speed, use single handed, vanilla Android, how the hinge feels, does the leather bind against your pocket or slide smoothly... That's kinda what most folks are into.
The Snapdragon 8+ Gen1 is still a beast of a processor. I know this since I use a Z Fold4.
Very few people care about one-handed usage.
Most people like large screen two-handed phablet phones.
Exactly...it's no slouch
@@PSYCHOV3N0M guess I am one of those few who do care about one handed.

How is it now how the screen??
Based on the silent treatment I'm gonna say not very good at all...
Wow! The Razr Phone has come a long way since i last had a Razr Phone
The most Impressive flipable phone i have ever seen
This is quite a nostalgic phone from Motorola. It's quite unique and it is beautiful. The functionality is unique and useful. Love what they did.
The small screen is fantastic and the display area used is great. Big and Spacious, it is better than Samsung and its competitors
Better how?
Better refresh rate, better charge time, better back screen, better price.. is that enough reasons for ya mate?

Hello...Will this phone split the screen with two different apps the way Samsung can?
Thanks...
I have the 2020 5g razr so the most important thing to see with this new one is battery life. I have to charge this phone twice during a 24 hr day and Google maps is slightly slow and laggy at some points
This looks awesome, but I still will wait till the latest processor, fast charging, long last battery, multi-best-in-class cameras, and IP65+ rating.
I like the regular Razr more. When I close it, I actually want fewer distractions.
I also like that it's got a bigger battery and because of the smaller back screen, less chances to damage the phone
The Razr over the plus for sure for durability.
I love it however, flipping it closed with any bit of force would scratch the screen no?
As far as I'm aware, it as a built-in screen protector
Very well done presentation. If it was up to me, I'll go with the original razor that outside screen looks like it would be too easy to get broke, And the battery life on the original is so much better as well.😊
I wish I knew about this before I bought my iphone 14pro 2 months ago
But is it going to crack easily? Also how is the camera quality
Does it have Apple Pay ?

Same here. If Samsung does not bring DeX, I may consider the Razr+.

Is this amazing phone can use the front and back camera at the same time like the other modern phones nowadays?
Samsung bloats the crap of of their phones though, having a light barebones OS on a flip would be a blessing. I had the Z Flip 3 but the battery life made it unusable. I absolutely love how the screen wraps around the cameras, its beautiful.
Ya I would pay the extra 200 and get the Z5 flip you get space zoom night zoom just better cameras all around and fast charge and tablet size screen.

69+ thanks for the fast reply
It looks impressive but just hate the glossy screen
Potential to be very popular!
What's the point of front facing camera?! You can take selfies or video chat using the superior back cameras.
What concerns me is, if you dropped it on the floor, how that display is going to survive? It won't.
Sd card ?
but RAZR just have 3800 battery, not enough for daily use
Pretty sure they’ll be the first flip type to have wireless that isn’t Samsung and Samsung is slow too so you sound kinda …. Lol
Does factory reset remove encryption?
It wouldn't remove encryption, per se. It would re-encrypt after deleting the original encrypted data, if that is what you are asking.
If it weren't for the fact it's using last years horrible SoC + a small battery + unimpressive cameras, I would have been all over this.
Can someone explain what a 'Vegan Leather' is?
maybe the best z-flip clone on the market until the pixel flip or z-flip 5, should have stuck with the retro ish-design.

I doubt this new cheaper Razr 2023 model will sell that well.
The Razr+ is what has people so intrigued with its larger outer display.
Nice
It's a shame cuz the backside of the phone (when opened) has lack simple and sophisticated look.
Looks like the flip
Both are really nice phones. I'm just worried about crapware which keeps me away from Samsung phones and tablets.
1. It's called Bloatware.
2. Motorola has little to no Bloatware compared to Samsung.
@@PSYCHOV3N0Mqhats bloatware?
"Kirk to Enterprise, come in Enterprise."
It's definitely not the thinnest foldable phone. Microsoft Surface Duo is only 9.9mm when folded.
Surface Duo ISN'T a foldable phone. 😂😂😂
It's a dual screen phone.
Keep reaching.
Also, the Surface Duo is no longer being made, and MS has closed it going forward. They are now developing a foldable like the Pixel Fold to save face.
Who wants a flip phone?
Sd 8 gen 1 is bad and will have battery issues with this.
5 watt wireless charging 😮, WTF Moto?
You said it. But I guess they did that to have something new to put in the next gen
This phone is going to have a lot of battery problems
This is not the Motorola of yore. It's a Lenovo subsidiary now, so just another arm of the Chinese government. The only thing American about this is the branding. No telling when this device will eventually be banned. Save your money.
Can you get edge panel like on samsung ui?
ill wait for iphone flip plus
I paid less for my iPhone 13 💀
These were a couple lot grand. Far too much for a phone easy to break. Wonder if down something sensible 800-1100 area
The price is 999
Which is reasonable
@@notificationguys5128 tend to agree. I’m finally going back. I had Razr from 2010/11 era.
Good smartphones, but frankly neither of the 2 is a good deal in my opinion, I mean in my opinion.
Unless you're a diehard Motorola fan, or a Samsung hater, the Flips 4 and 5 are better options.
The Razr + Ultra at $1000 loses to Samsung's upcoming Flip 5 which will have an external screen almost as large as Motorola's, a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and especially a better software tracking , and the standard Razr is not even a competitor for the Flip 4 which is very often around $700 new.
Ready For > Samsung Dex.
Razr+ has Ready For built-in although it's wireless-ONLY.
No Z Flip so far supports Dex. If the Z Flip 5 doesn't come with Dex support then the Razr+ has a big advantage.
According to Flip5 rumours, there will be little difference between this RAZR+ and Flip5. Especially at the market it is aimed at. Very few buyers will worry about the SoC differences (mainly the GPU). The Flip5 will be more polished, but people may buy these more for the design, colours, look and feel. The RAZR+ definitely is eye candy and will surely sell well and eat into Samsungs sales.
@@PSYCHOV3N0MReady for > Dex, it's very subjective, and according to rumors, the Flip 5 is supposed to have Dex, we'll see what happens.
@@andyH_EnglandHonestly, I don't see the big difference in design between the 2 smartphones 🤷🏽♂️
On the other hand, what I do know is that most people have more confidence in Samsung than in Motorola, and the 8 Gen 2 beyond the difference in power, will surely benefit the Flip 5 in terms of efficiency and battery life 🔋, but we'll see.
Looks a useless phone if launched at $1500 . It could be a super hit if launched for $800 or Rs.70k in India
Derp😂
T,
the whole point of having a flip screen ....was to protect the screen inside. cant believe Moto added another screen on the outside.
I've had the 2020 5g and I love the external screen. For me that isn't the only reason. There are many reasons for the flip.
Moto made another model just for people like you. You just have to wait for it..
nah, There is screen protector for protection.
It looks like a girl would pull this phone out her pursue and open it and say “its blush”
Why is Motorola such a crappy brand now. The Razr means nothing to Gen Z cause they never grew up with the razr flip phone. Every time they revive razr as a smart phone, they've been mediocre so gen z isn't interested. The millenials love the razr original flip phone but not the razr branded smartphones. They know better. So who exaclty is this phone for?
Us Gen X'ers 🙂
These phones are crappy... especially the sub-par specs for all other flip phones in 2022!!??
