I’m an Apple Fan-grrl (lol!). I have Apple EVERYTHING! A brand new Macbook Air M3, several iPhones, Apple Watch, AirPods Pro 2, iPad Pro with Apple Pencil & Apple Magic Keyboard, AirTags and an Apple TV. I have at least one of every single Apple caterogy of product. Like I said, I’m a complete Apple fangirl; no kidding. I’ve been waiting sooo long for an iPhone flip phone but I got tired of waiting and snagged a brand new Motorola Razr 50/2024 (non-plus model) two weeks ago and I couldn’t be happier! I got it for a steal at $199 USD (plus tax)! I had to buy one because that price is insane. This phone is phenomenal! I love the fully useable front smaller screen. Like you said, you can just pull it out of your pocket and do everything you need to do right there on the smaller screen without even having to fold open the phone. I love the cool gesteres and features Motorola added like the 2x chop for the flashlight and the 2x twist for the camera and the 5 fingers/palm to take a picture, etc. Soooo neat and so useful. The camera is good- though low-light/night shots could be better and that can be addressed in a simple firmware update. The video cam mode holding it sideways is amazing and helps me to take steady video shots... I’m just in love with this flip phone. I get compliments on it everywhere I go. People are so intrigued and curious about it since flip phones are rare in the wild, lol. I’m still keeping my iPhone(s) for now as a backup phone but the Motorola Razr 50/2024 is now my everyday carry. You shouldn’t let your Apple fanboy-ism stop you have enjoying what argueably is the best foldable/flippable on the market and a darn good, solid phone.
For $199, it’s a really good deal. Not sure that low light can be solved with firmware. Sometimes we are trying to fight the laws of physics there. 🤣 Very glad to hear you’re enjoying your new phone so much. 😀
Dedication and persistence! Congratulation my friend. Just keep going. I made a small (actualy a few of them) web site 4-5 years ago. I'm still proud of this little achievments and my (at that time) above average ability for creation.
Hi Lee, seeing you're an Apple fanboi, how does the overall feel compared to a pro max? I would be a little concerned about that screen fold over time. I would have thought it would fatigue over time.
It’s interesting that you ask that. I did have the same thought. But I used and abused the phone for 3 weeks and no issues. Of course I can’t say how it would be over a year or two. But doing a short Google, didn’t suggest it was an issue for folks who have these phones long term.
It does feel a bit more “plastically” thank the Pro Max. But then again it’s about half the price and a lot lighter. So I guess I am not sure it’s a fair comparison.
That would be interesting. I am not sure I could deal with a screen that small all the time. Handy for quick things, but I think most folks would still want the larger display too?

Thank you.
I was never cool enough for a flip phone in the 90s 😂

@@notacarguy_au I guess only time would tell. I like the concept, btw, but when it's opened out, it's enormous, lol.
@@utha2665it is and yet it isn’t. Got used to it very quickly.
I would be good with a phone as small as it is folded. i just want a small smart phone
