  • The Motorola RAZR 2023 is a great phone for $499 and really offers a lot, for cheap! BUY RAZR 2023 HERE! howl.me/ckYOtAiGy0a (affiliate)
    This is my review of the Motorola RAZR 2023, the value flip phone that cost half of the price of the Z Flip 5, and has a lot to offer - including a vegan leather wrapped body! I like the RAZR 2023 (also known as the RAZR 40), and I think it's an excellent phone on sale for $499, normal MSRP $699!

    I dont know how but Motorola is becoming what Oneplus was when they started. Good quality, well supported budget phones.

      Moto really pissed me off when they brought the g power down to 720p from the 1080 increase in like 2 years. What a dumb move that was. 2021 I think? Glad they brought their game back up again.

    I bought mine during the black friday sales, saved a couple of hundred.
    Great phone! The included clear frosted case looks awesome. Saved me having to buy one on eBay. It should suffice to protect the creamy leather finish.
    The 33w fast charger is super fast. Only takes around an hour to fully charge.
    Loved the perfumed box ... it had my guessing how cologne got on the box, but then I found out that Motorola put a strong fragrance on the box through their survey asking me "so what did you think of the unboxing experience?". I was like why on earth are the asking me about unboxing. Then the next question was, what did I think of the fragrance in the box and it was like righhhhht, that explains it.
    I love the Ready For feature. Even with my 7 year old Samsung TV it works so well. Its brilliant!! Turning phone apps into web pages. None of the other reviewers mentioned this feature so what a huge surprise it was to discover this. It's super responsive. It works with the wireless mouse I have for my TV however the wireless keyboard just doesnt want to work. I checked all settings on the phone to no avail. So I'm stuck using the mouse to click on the onscreen keyboard..
    I'd heard of Samsung's Bixby but wasnt aware Motorola had something similar.
    The Razr 40 makes for an awesome secondary phone. It's super snappy, although maybe a little too fast. Battery life is excellent after settling in (after a couple of weeks).
    Technology has become fun again.

    Ive had my Razr 40 for a couple of months and for £480 its a wee gem. Cameras are far better than most reviews say. I have an S23 as well and I get just as good results with my Razr. I prefer Moto's post processing to Samsung's. The camera app has had two updates since I bought it. Battery life is brilliant. The hinge on the Razr 40 feels better to me than the Z Flip. Outer display is more useful than I expected. For the price I cant fault it. Amazon do a great leather eggect case for it that looks as good as the vegan leather original finish.

    Just picked one up, $250 via metro. I own a s20 ultra. Most every day photo , even at low light it does well. Only issues is no zoom. 128GB is hard if you do a trip and want phone to record videos .Best advice, buy OTG drive+ clouds save during a trip. I just wanted a fun phone and to see I enjoy it. I do hate watching RUclips on it. Wide screen don't rotate unless you leave it on auto under Android. You also get side bar...😢.

    Best Buy is still offering the razr+ at $699. I just bought it today. I’m an apple girlie and my whole family has apple but I’ve been wanting to switch to the Z flip but couldn’t pull the trigger. Since I have an extra line on my plan that’s not in use at this time, I decided to buy the razr+ to test it out since it’s on sale. If I like it, I might switch to Android and use it as my main phone.

    @conspicuousrod4910 5 месяцев назад

    I returned this one, compared to the Samsung Flip series, I didn't like the hinge and build quality. I prefer Motorola's UI vs Samsung's however. The camera stabilization and autofocus in anything other than great lighting are not great. I watch RUclips on my phone, but I don't enjoy watching videos on this phone. With all that being said, if you're looking for a flip, I'd go to the Razr+ model over this one.

      Yes it's true, if you take pictures and are used to slightly better quality photos, you will not enjoy the camera quality. The phone can be laggy at times if you try to demand too much for it.
      This reviewer stated in his video that this phone is not for taking, "4k video". Lol You can always purchase and return it if need be.

    $500 it is considered budget? I mean has cellphone technology has been at a halt? for 500 dollars you can get a lot of technology and I mean just because it has a "good camera" it does not justify the price of newer phones.

    • @TechOdyssey

    The idea is great, however the phone degrades rapidly. Initially the phone connection was terrible. At first I thought it was a problem with my service provider verizon but switching the sim card back to my old device I discovered that the phone itself was to blame.
    At 1 month the crease where the phone folds created a white line in the middle of the screen. The "vegan leather" began to peel off.
    At 2 months the screen would randomly show only gray scale- no color.
    at 3 months the phone screen went entirely black- resetting the device did not correct it. At this point the phone was completely unusable.
    I contacted motorola for a refund and was told the window for a refund is only within 14 days of purchase. They advised me to send them the phone for repair and attempt to sell it myself on ebay...
    DO NOT BUY!

    I've had this phone for three days. this phone sucks. Battery is poor. Flipping open the phone to use it basically a gimmick. comes with a preinstalled screen cover that they warn you you shouldn't take off. WTF. The audio out sucks even with dolby atmos. No micro sd card slot. Gets very warm that is noticeable. The front screen is a waste of my time because I have to open the phone to deal with it anyway. Can't say much good about it. oh, adding a case makes it a huge brick in your pocket..
