This is what I wanted to know, is it even worth getting this over the 23 plus version? I’ve been wanting the razr for a while and after watching many videos on the 2024 version, I feel like it would be better to just get the 2023 plus version now that the price of it has dropped!
I'm a big samsung fan like currently using a s20 FE and love it. However it's 5 years old now, a bit of screen damage ( my fault ) I get a free upgrade and Motorola Razr is one of them. I agree he solidified my choice 100%
Took the dive and upgraded for an s20 fe to the razr+ 24 and so far its a solid device with alot of cool features the non Samsung android is actually really refreshing and so far i have not gotten anything in the hinge and I've been out in dirt filled environments. (obviously my results may change over time)
@@4EvaGrindin i was coming from the same boat as you as i always used Samsung products, it is definitely worth it in my opinion and there are quite a few options both from Motorola and third party for cases
I've done the same change from that lovely S20fe, many great features- especially the storage/ram/screens/charging... Software was a step down from Samsung I feel. But overall definitely enjoying it!
I love mine. But, Id say sometimes the hinge feels a bit rough. I have not taken it out of the house yet nor put it in a pocket. I'm waiting for my case to come. I wipe the hinge too with a lint free cloth and it just feels rough at times.
I have a 2024 Razr + being delivered on Monday and was upgrading from my 2023 Razr +, I guess after watching this review I will be sending it back, still no notifications on the lock screen displays with android 14 on my current 2023 Razr + , shame I was hoping for a bigger improvement
I just hope next year, Moto would consider using a matte frame AND a matte border surrounding the main 6.9 inch display just like the Z Flip 6. The smudges take out the pristine look of the Razr+.
I dig the Razr and Razr Plus with what Motorola improved this year. But the real deal breaker for me is the limited software support. For the expensive price tags of both Razr phones this year, it doesn’t have nearly enough software support. I absolutely love what I’ve seen of the Z Flip 6 but they are way too expensive despite awesome software support. We really need a company to make a great foldable phone that is inexpensive and has many years of support. I guess that’s never going to happen.
@@jtennis6892 I have kept my phones as high as 3-5 years. Just because most people don’t keep their phones long doesn’t mean we shouldn’t hold companies to software support standards.
The different colorways have different plastic backs. The Hot Pink is more of a suede sort of plastic, I too would have preferred a more 'wallet' sort of plastic.
I’m thinking of switching to moto from iPhone. But what smart watch with LTE works with it? All the T-Mobile employees just grumble Samsung / Google watches connect but not well. What’s the scoop? What do I do? 😅
Ummm, I don't know why they say they don't connect well. Samsung watches I think will do a little better than Google watches for that, but they should work fine. I think they might mean there are some Samsung specific features that work better with one of their phones.
I thought and maybe it's just me, but the purpose of having a flip phone is that when it closes, the screens will be protected so then you don't have to deal with crack screens. If you put the screen on the outside also, then you risk dropping and cracking. It is just my thought process.
I actually got both but returned the Motorola razr 24 plus. Kept the z flip 6. I think overall it's the bigger improvement and better specs internal for sure they make a difference the cooling chamber the chip and battery. For me actually there is no reason to buy the regular Razr this year if u can buy the plus last year that is better speced devices and is also cheaper now too.
@@MattD-z2c do u really need a 120 hrz battery draining front screen? And honestly u can get every app running on the front screen on the z flip 5 6 as well. And there is a few other reasons. The z flip 6 has a much better chip inside. And a cooling chamber so for all the gamers the phone will stay cool while playing keeping it from slowing down. Moto Razr is missing all that plus dust and water resistant what only the z flip 6 has. But the Razr looks better now questions. But the z flip has the better internals and specs.
@@MattD-z2c yeah but then again it's a flip phone. If u want a great big screen in the outside u might as well buy a regular phone. Flips and folds have their goodies in the inside screen. Why buying a flip or fold if u want to use the outside screen mainly u can buy other phones cheaper with better specs then. So yeah. Anyway again the Razr is definitely the better looking device.
Well, let's keep it 💯. The razr+ is gonna sell more units over the Z Flip 6 because regardless of the under the hood specs the flip 6 has over the Razr+, people aren't buying flip phones for the latest and greatest specs, if they wanted those they would be buying flagship slab phones. They buy cover screen flip phones because of the cover screen and the unique experience that gives over traditional smartphones. The Motorola Razr+ 2024 has a bigger cover screen, better refresh rate, and still has a great chipset and battery inside for normal use, and it costs less. To the average consumer it's a no brainer. To your point of the 120hz outer screen "draining battery faster" that's nonsense because if your using the cover display, your using less power than if you used it opened up because your effectively using only half a screen, and it's an adaptive refresh rate, on a still screen the hz drops down to 1hz further saving the battery. Besides these points, the only other points I've seen made is "well, Motorolas updates are slow" and "Samsung gives you 7 years of support, moto only gives you 3" 1. yeah they could improve on the update frequency, but again the average person isn't gonna care about getting the latest and greatest android updates for more bells and whistles half of them aren't gonna ever use. No one's gonna hack your phone, not getting the latest security patch as fast as everyone else isn't the end of the world either. 2. 7 years of support from Samsung is a great gesture but it's a facade, because Samsung knows barely anyone is gonna take full advantage of that. The average lifespan of phones these days is 2-3 years, so only having 3 years of support is not as big a deal as some Samsung knights make it out to be. (Sorry for the wall of text😅)
While its a nice upgrade I am tempted in importing the Global version of the Oppo Find N3 flip as a upgrade to my Razr+ from 2023, still has a stronger cpu then the 2023, IPX4 rating, and that triple camera setup with ultra wide and telephoto.
Eu vou de Rasr 50 Ultra na cor Peach Fuzz. Cada um com sua opinião, Z Flip 6 x Rasr 50 Ultra são excelentes, um tem alguma coisa a mais ki o outro enfim se juntasse os 2 em um só ficariam perfeitos , massssss vou de Rasr 50 Ultra sem dúvida nenhuma.
My 2024+ razr is already on its way back for a refund. It's too tall and too narrow. Once they remove the camera from the external display, I'll revisit.
No? I've never cared about a benchmark ever and I never will. It hardly ever tells the entire story. Five million other channels mindlessly reading off specs and benchmarks, I'm sure you'll be fine.
@@StevealiciousTechI AGREE! 💯 If you're about benchmarks, get an ASUS ROG, otherwise latest chip set and decent RAM will get you through the day. If you need something more, get a laptop

I like it a lot, but I don't think it's enough to upgrade if you already have last year's Razr Plus.

Mototola phones are underated in the US
Underrated? No one in America even knows Motorola makes phones still. There is no awareness these phones exist.
I think you've solidified my choice. I will be getting this over the flip 6

I have the Razr 2023 and I am seriously considering the 2024. I love Moto and thank you for covering these devices!

In terms of looks I think Flip 6 has a better build design but the Razr has a better cover screen

Hey nice review! Is the crease really notcibely better?
I thought and maybe it's just me, but the purpose of having a flip phone is that when it closes, the screens will be protected so then you don't have to deal with crack screens. If you put the screen on the outside also, then you risk dropping and cracking. It is just my thought process.
I agree, that's one reason why I don't want this phone.
Getting myself a Razr 2024 non plus. I was wondering why there are no pre-order deals for it?
I have the 2023+
I love it
Do you have Instagram
does yours also have the “a” in the razr logo be unfinished?
YES, I'm talking about this in the next video. I think I briefly mentioned it in one of them...I don't like the fit and finish as much as last year's.
flips are cute easy to use i want one but ill buy them as secondary phone just like iphones.
I will still use my 40 ultra in my honest opinion it's not worth the upgrade at the moment.
Upgrading phone in two months. Presently have Pixel 7 pro. Looking at -
Razr 24
Zflip 6
Pixel 9xl
Phones are interesting right now :)
Do the 2024 still has the slight lateral movement/creak in the hinge when closed.
Mine has it and it is annoying
My Razr Plus 2024 does not have any hinge wobble or creaking. It is a smooth action

Flip 6 played it safe and the front screen is trash.. only reason someone would switch from razr is updates and UI of Samsung/AI

Yep! Worked well last year so looking forward to trying that out.

Does it have hdr10 or Dolby vision this moto? Thanks

It looks amazing
Are you going to keep it?
Oh definitely, need reviews and follow ups and all the rest. I keep everything at least a year.
It's a toss up between this the flip 6
i would skip this phone i didnt like mine im returning it, its really slow and the cameras and hinge suck really bad
Slow compared to...what?
20 hours ago
Hinge still sucks vs flip 5 or 6 no thanks
