I must admit, I was so happy when this phone was announced! I had the Razr way back when and loved it and I've always preferred the clam shell style phone. This phone however, whilst a move in the right direction, is nothing more than a tech demo in my opinion. When we start seeing those random branded phone doing the same but better and cheaper, then we'll start seeing some real progress.

People are such thoughtless copy cats. "There's nothing wrong with the chin." It is an intelligent design that imparts ample room for decent speakers or even a bigger better battery. The chin has character.
In the world of engineering, there's 2 modes one can design in. AM and FM. Actual Machines and Fucking Magic. A lot of smartphone design sticks to FM pretty closely, making engineers scramble to get anywhere close to the designers. that chin though is pure AM. It's a concession to the practicalities of actually working with a device and finding a compromise that works.
I absolutely love my Razr. I agree that's it's overpriced but so is the iPhone. I got 300 off through a Verizon promotion. I felt at that price it was well worth it. Guys have big pockets in their pants but women do not. I hate having half my phone hanging out of my pocket. The Razr fits. It's also just really fun and nostalgic. The call quality is excellent. The screen resolution is beautiful. I couldn't be happier.
@@JoS-un2wk It's definitely one of my favorite phones that I have ever had. Typically things that reviewers criticize for example using the Snapdragon 710, aren't things that you generally notice in day to day use. The other thing that I see mentioned is the battery life but I use my phone over the course of an 8 hour workday and haven't had it run completely down. An excessively long couple hour phone call will put a hurt on battery life but that's not completely unusual. And seriously for the design you have to expect a compromise on the battery life. Something that's mentioned in the review on this particular video is dirt getting in the small groove next 5o the screen. That hasn't been an issue at all.
I have just got mine and yes a little getting used to but I love it also brought the case works brilliant especially when I put it in my bag or pocket I no nothing will get Inbetween the screen
@@JoS-un2wk I wish more case options were available. Remember don't put a screen protector on it. It already has one applied. The stick on ones can destroy the screen.
Really good video - simple, no stupid background music, lots of video focusing on the product itself and not the host and most importantly, lots of practical and useful information. Subscribed.
I think with Motorola Razr it was all about design, I love the design of this phone, the outer screen (like with the Galaxy fold, just the razr was way better executed) is fantastic and allows you to do more of the day to day stuff without opening the phone and putting more wear on the folding screen, more especially since the recent update! The fold has also been done better than Samsung as it has been designed not to put as much pressure on the screen itself. Where they made the biggest mistakes was the internal specs, you CANNOT have a phone at that price point without the specs.. anyone who wants a phone with those sorts of specs are not looking to spend that kind of money and if you’re the sort of person (like myself) who just wants a folding phone, you’re not going to spend that kind of money and get those specs... fingers crossed the razr 2 will be an improvement.
Foldables were already mainstream for us. 2004-2009 For any Millennial that had a Myspace. We mostly all had a Razr V3 or V3xx. Or the slide out keyboard phone.
Nice review! That's exactly how I used to open and close my Razr V3 back in the day. This one looks cool, it's just that I've been using Motorola devices for some years and I can't help but notice that the materials they use to build their devices seem to be each year of poorer quality, too fragile, even using the same kind of phone cases that perfectly protected my devices in the past. So, imagine spending these 1500 dollars (which here in Argentina were 130000 pesos initially, now it's more expensive) and you find the back, the front screen or the inside screen scratched for no apparent reason in such short time. And let's not talk about the awful amount of noise in the pictures you take with their cameras, or even that the lenses also get scratched too easily, over time they're so scratched that your pictures start to look blurry, all these things happened to me using a Moto Z and the Motorola one. I was much more happy with the original Moto X, although they didn't use the best materials at the time, it had a very nice touch to it, and looked so good, I got it secondhand and the camera was perfect, and so it was until the last moment I used it. I think all the urge to have the flashiest phone out there made them forget that phones are not only good for their look or for having 3, 4 or 5 cameras (which still can't even rival a 10 years old Nikon) phones also have to be well built and durable, at least one year, before looking like they've been used for three years.
Tbh you need more views, your so straight forward which is amazing, and you sometimes slip the stories in the middle, which to me Is genius. You speak clearly, great video editing. Your just an amazing reviewer, respect.
I bought this on the 2nd hand market for 570 dollars and it's coming tomorrow. Now I kinda feel uneasy about it but still very excited cause I love the idea of foldable smartphones.
Usually I really don't like the idea of vertical folding phones, because it's just a regular phone with an extra step and a premium, but the Razr seems kind of nice because of the pretty useful screen when it's closed.
The android 11 update got to my device couple days ago and its making my decision on ordering the new Z Flip 3 questionable. I was gonna try to find the Moto RAZR 5G on eBay on sale but with the new price of the Z Flip 3 and an old iPhone XR for trade in thought it would be a good buy, expecially on preorderd with the extra perks and the updates from the prevoius generation like the bigger outter screen. The outter screen options that the RAZR 5G had were missing from the original RAZR, but with the new update I can pretty much use any app on the smaller screen which I can now do without having to open the phone. Something that i dont think will be available with the Flip. Even RUclips, Netflix, Disney+ works on the outter screen now, crazy but capable lol. This will sound silly but what really kept me from going to the RAZR 5G right away was the lack of good casses. I got the OtterBox case with my first gen RAZR and it looks amazing. It gives it that rugged look that i like plus it helps with the opening with one hand since it has a lip for the thumb to fit just right. I dont have the build up on the side of the screen problem with this case. Been a fan of your videos since i found your channel and also on the promo codes that you share here sometimes. Looking forward for an updated video on this phone with the new Android 11
Having that folded state to fit in pockets is a savior for girls! Our pockets aren’t deep and it’s a struggle with slab screen phones. Even if it’s thicker, it allows us to pocket it without it stabbing our guts every time we sit
I so agree...I really didn't care about the reviews or what ppl said about it ..I love the whole old school/ highschool memories I get and the look I get from both young and older ppl when I flip it out😂😂 that experience alone makes me respect Motorola for the even trying to recreate a classic completely Worth it. And the specs are really not that bad...I look at it like this ..if the battery and processor was larger the phone would run hot ..and then u would complain about that . Smh I just don't understand some of these reviews.
Because most ppl who had nostalgia from the original phone don't review this phone for RUclips rating. They bought it because they know how to use flip phones. They are not that demanding like must have the best spec for everything because they used to own phone that was not that smart. Plus those ppl now have the buying power not for young ppl who just started their career.
"Even the biggest phones on the market are able to fit in the average person's pocket." *laughs in women's jeans* I haven't had a phone fit in my pocket since the original Razr...I wanted this new Razr to be good so bad
This is a pretty good review. I agree with many of your points. I was able to get one half price online and after seeing this review, I still think the phone is just alright. I’ll have to take very good care of it to avoid it’s durability issues
Yeah the shaking for the flashlight is pretty cool, but it's not as exclusive of a feature you think. It's one of the easiest things to set up in Tasker, which every Android has access to
Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 Octa-core chipset 6GB of RAM 128GB of storage Splash-proof with water resistant nanocoating Fingerprint reader 2,510 mAh battery with 15W TurboPower 6.2-inch pOLED main display (21:9, 2,142 x 876) Folded size: 72 x 94 x 14mm; Open size: 72 x 172 x 6.9mm 205 grams Bottom speaker 16MP rear camera, f/1.7 with EIS 5MP front-facing camera, f/2.0 802.11ac Wireless, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC eSIM Android 9 Pie These are literal mid range specs, and they still have the AUDACITY to sell this phone for $1499.99 on the Motorola site. I lost a lot of respect for them for trying to play us. My Samsung A80 was $500 for those same specs damn near.
Love mine worth every dime. I upgraded the soft ware to the latest Android and the features added made my love grow stronger. You bar phone user's are missing out 😁
I remeber in class once, fourth grade, we were doing a class about averaging, and the teacher had us find the average pockets per kid. I had 9 on my cargo pants. I had one more than all the girls in our class combined. Our class was 50/50 girls to boys
@@lukmly013 you can save money easily for something you want. Lets say you make $3000 a month, which is about $700 less than the average American makes in a month. Rent is $500 which includes electricity, heat, and other basic essentials. You put aside $250 for food. You should save $750 for retirement, $750 for savings, and another $250 for emergency savings. Then lets say you spend anywhere from $100-$300 on transportation, since it varies depending on how far you go. That leaves you with anywhere from $200 to $500 which is your "play" money. You can do whatever you want with it. If you were to save $200 each month you would have $1500 in 7.5 months, and you could have enough for the phone.
I can buy over 20 of these phones and it wouldn't even put a dent on my wallet. However, I would not invest $1500 for this or any other phone. Maybe $500 - $650 at most but no more and that would ONLY BE if I needed a new phone due to my current phone malfunctioning.
Can you compare the Z Flip to the Motorola Razr with a bonus comparison the Galaxy Fold just for fun? I know a lot of us would want that and you would be first youtuber to compare all the current major folding phones!
This video was you showing off your nice hands, #handmodel lol but for real the thing most interesting about the RAZR to me is the 21:9 screen and overall physical design. I think there's alot of credit you gotta give that this phone had some thought put in, it's not just a smart phone folded In half, the two half's actually fold to connect neatly unlike the zflip. Also 21:9 is werid, but it's also a new trend that some phones have taken, like Sony Xperia one 2. I think the RAZR isnt meant to be used to consume RUclips or games. But I also think media format will change to adapt to the 21:9 and will be the new standard.
I really want a successor of the 2020 razr. it should have durable display, wireless charging, improved battery life...and most of all, physical sim since there is no support for e-sim in my country.
The razr is amazing. The foldable screen is just the right thing for me. Yes, the phone screen might get damaged over time, yes the battery might just last 12 hours, yes a bit of dust might get inside a bit over time, but who cares, i don´t intend to keep it forever. Just for a couple of years. It was either this or the samsung. But at half the price, it´s a no brainer. 1350 for the samsung or 750 for this beauty. As everything in life, it's not perfect, but it´s certainly a beauty, works fine, and gets the job done. So I got it, and i´m very happy with it. No regrets whatsoever.
@@thatoff-roaddude9515 i know its not for everyone, and also i love this phone, but to say this is some sort of a magnificent phone... That's incorrect
Personally, I do think that besides the price tag (and that Galaxy Z Flip on the market), the questionable quality of the hinge is also a major factor of causing this product to be disliked by many people...
I will say that if folding phones become the norm, this is the design manufacturers need to go with. Folding tablets are a fun idea, but not something that people can fit in their pockets. Both this and the Galaxy Fold did it perfectly. Hopefully as time goes on, these devices will become easier to make, cheaper to the consumer, and added ruggedness to the design. (I'd go bonkers for a Galaxy Fold Active)
Its been a practice that any phone brands release a certain model and listen for a while for any feedbacks, then they release a better model, maybe faster but a lot way better than the first one. Remember the time when iPhone release a US only version and people complain they cannot travel the globe with it. So Apple Inc get to follow it with another yet actually the same model that can be used or sell world wide. As for the new RAZR it maybe needs to have a faster processor, or better screen resolution or a way better camera, or a water resist, shock proof model where previous Motorolas were fashioned in such a way. Who knows
Modern smartpohones may fit into the average *man's* pockets, but I've heard many complaints from women about this issue. Women's pants typically have smaller pockets that can't hold the large phones that have become normal. Also, for someone like me who prefers skinny or slim fit jeans, if the phone fits in the pocket it is very noticeable and difficult to get out. I can see the benefit from the smaller form factor the Razr and Z Flip offer.
I had one on pre-order the day it was released kept it a week and pre-ordered the S20 ultra and was told to keep the razr past the 14 return date ... had it 3 weeks total until the S20 ultra came in ... the razr4 turned heads and worked well and battery wasn't bad and a phone txt and talk but Facebook and RUclips killed it ... i do find myself missing it sometimes honestly I was afraid of breaking it and the S20 ultra is badass
To release a brand new phone with low budget materials, low-quality feel, low tech camera, and especially a low battery life capacity, low processor specs and old operating system is competitive market suicide. Then on top of that who would be foolish enough to grant crooks like Verizon exclusivity? That, is definitely having one foot in the grave. Makes one wonder ... who is the CEO at Motorola?
Wes R. Wes R, you don't sound too bright. I bet you don't even have a solution, I do, but I won't post it on RUclips for free. In response to your comment about the CEO, a CEO is not an overachievement! Maybe, to you. Especially, a CEO who can't even invest in a decent hinge, let alone in a decent battery (solid state or whatever). It is no excuse for releasing a poorly designed device. By the way, I am a CEO of my own process server company. The rest, is nobody's business.
Wes R., come to think of it, George Washington Carver was not a CEO nor a member of the Food & Drug Administration, yet he was more powerful than the entire Food & Drug Administration combined! So, before you get all emotional with your }}}} excessive exclamations, let me address to you two simple questions before you dare think that you can take me on: 1) What was the most significant mistake that Apple failed to take advantage of, awhile, Steve Jobs was around, that would have "crushed" Microsoft? 2) What is the difference between a manager and a leader? If you can't answer these, I seriously doubt that you are even a future candidate to be a CEO. By the way you replied, you can use a crash-course in business etiquette before you can even request to speak to a CEO. In the business world, "I need" is very self-serving expression and is an unprofessional approach. I bet you have no solutions, and you're just a typical RUclipsr with a poor attempt to discredit my comment.
@@jadgbanzer9246 and who is going to pay for the difference? It's not like I not want a z flip, but if I can get a foldable at a flat smartphone price I will
@@thealterlion7163 the title is CLICKBAITING you it is actually 1500 while z flip is 1380 do some reaseach and by time it is used z flip will also be cheaper used and will still be better with not near structure flaws
I don’t recommend opening the phone that aggressively. I had the original razor and after a while the top screen stopped displaying after constantly opening it like that.
I got an Xperia 1 II instead because it gave me better bang for buck (especially the camera) but fuck me this phone is drop dead gorgeous. If Motorola decides to release a future version with a better camera I would definitely consider it because I want a phone that can fold to take up less space in my pocket.
i will buy a foldable when they get down to 300 or so. mainly because it cant be my daily driver. my working conditions would shred the screen in a day
I think is a good phone and in some ways better than the Galaxy Z Flip like it's bigger external screen with much more interactions, the plastic bottom body which adds grip among others. I think future generations are the ones to watch out for tho because they'll improve on the downsides of its predecessor.
If this phone launched with a lifetime screen warranty and at $350 I would have gotten it. But $1500? What? Did they think this was the first go with this style phone? Even the first time around we didn't pay this much at launch for mediocre specs.
The first gen of huge hyped flagships are always expensive. People who think $1500 is too expensive are extremely unintelligent. Yea, it's expensive for the tech but as time goes on, and the next version comes out, it'll be cheaper and with better tech. All because they charged so much for version one.
My thoughts exactly! It's laughable that people expect a phone of this caliber, even with its mid-range specs, to be $300 - $500. Go buy an iPhone SE if you're looking for a smartphone in that price range. Here we have a one of the first phones on the market with brand new technology that is an engineering feat. Even if the material the display is made of isn't what people are used to and they have durability concerns, you still have to take a step back and realize what is being achieved here. You are literally taking a screen and folding it in half without breaking it! Of course, you're going to pay a premium for that.
I hope it has a big price drop. Its $2299 where I live. Far too expensive needs a huge drop before I think about buying it. I get the tech is ahead of it's time compared to competitors but it's still too expensive. I hope they dont abandon this phone. Next gens after the tech gets cheaper and moto could get more customers back

I think it's an amazing piece of hardware

It's a bit too wide when closed IMO. But honestly that would have been fine if the specs were in line with the price.
Current gen foldables still need work. They'll be really good in 2-3 years time though.
Disagree. Galaxy z flip is a really good flip phone already, as well as resistant
@@TheHarlequinCrest it's not water resistant, and the specs aren't on par with current gen flagships
agreed.....
@@TheHarlequinCrest it still has a crease
@@UwUKris theres gonna be a galaxy fold lite which will cost about $1100.
Honestly if Razr would’ve launched for $749 I would’ve kept mine
It would have been a top selling smartphone.
@@isaacvega9683 I really hope the 2nd gen one is cheaper and more durable
Once foldable phones get to that price(maybe Galaxy Z Flip 2?), I will buy one in a heartbeat!
@@keithwatson1384 I would buy one if its the same price as a flagship. Maybe 1200 at the max, but 900-1000 is more realistic

These are literal mid range specs, and they still have the AUDACITY to sell this phone for $1499.99 on the Motorola site. I lost a lot of respect for them for trying to play us. My Samsung A80 was $500 for those same specs damn near.
I'm glad I ended up buying my LG V20 - The removable battery, SD card slot, 3.5mm audio jack, IR emitter, are all essential.
6:00 anybody over the age of 25 SHOULD know how to open and close a flip phone🤨. This isn’t new.
I’m 23 and know how lol. Than again my very first phone was a flip phone 😂
Yi eyqqtrq
Love mine worth every dime. I upgraded the soft ware to the latest Android and the features added made my love grow stronger. You bar phone user's are missing out 😁
Fuck off dirty cop
Thank you for your service in protecting and serving our community, don't let them get you down :)
5:17 Bro my largest pocket of my girl jeans is the size of your small jeans pocket
I remeber in class once, fourth grade, we were doing a class about averaging, and the teacher had us find the average pockets per kid. I had 9 on my cargo pants. I had one more than all the girls in our class combined. Our class was 50/50 girls to boys
Change pockets don't need to be that big....
I love my razr do I think it's worth 1500 no but over all it's a really nice fn ok phone
Are you that rich or you live with parents?
@@lukmly013 you can save money easily for something you want. Lets say you make $3000 a month, which is about $700 less than the average American makes in a month. Rent is $500 which includes electricity, heat, and other basic essentials. You put aside $250 for food. You should save $750 for retirement, $750 for savings, and another $250 for emergency savings. Then lets say you spend anywhere from $100-$300 on transportation, since it varies depending on how far you go. That leaves you with anywhere from $200 to $500 which is your "play" money. You can do whatever you want with it. If you were to save $200 each month you would have $1500 in 7.5 months, and you could have enough for the phone.
Going by the wording I heavily doubt you have one
I can buy over 20 of these phones and it wouldn't even put a dent on my wallet.
However, I would not invest $1500 for this or any other phone. Maybe $500 - $650 at most but no more and that would ONLY BE if I needed a new phone due to my current phone malfunctioning.
Black Shark weird flex but ok
The motorolla peek and the camera and flashlight gestures is pretty much one of the defining factors of a motorola phone, and
Can you compare the Z Flip to the Motorola Razr with a bonus comparison the Galaxy Fold just for fun? I know a lot of us would want that and you would be first youtuber to compare all the current major folding phones!
Z flip doesn't have front screen. It's stupid and fat.
I was hoping you were old enough to have to used a flip phone before I was was wrong...
Can you compare the z flip vs Motorola razr
This video was you showing off your nice hands, #handmodel lol but for real the thing most interesting about the RAZR to me is the 21:9 screen and overall physical design. I think there's alot of credit you gotta give that this phone had some thought put in, it's not just a smart phone folded In half, the two half's actually fold to connect neatly unlike the zflip. Also 21:9 is werid, but it's also a new trend that some phones have taken, like Sony Xperia one 2. I think the RAZR isnt meant to be used to consume RUclips or games. But I also think media format will change to adapt to the 21:9 and will be the new standard.
Great video! Where did you get that live wallpaper of the mountain on the Galaxy fold?
The flashlight is my favorite feature with my Motorola Z4
I really want a successor of the 2020 razr. it should have durable display, wireless charging, improved battery life...and most of all, physical sim since there is no support for e-sim in my country.
Your the best person to do electronics review love you keep up the work
I will consider buying one when they move the price down to £89 -£100
The razr is amazing. The foldable screen is just the right thing for me. Yes, the phone screen might get damaged over time, yes the battery might just last 12 hours, yes a bit of dust might get inside a bit over time, but who cares, i don´t intend to keep it forever. Just for a couple of years. It was either this or the samsung. But at half the price, it´s a no brainer. 1350 for the samsung or 750 for this beauty. As everything in life, it's not perfect, but it´s certainly a beauty, works fine, and gets the job done. So I got it, and i´m very happy with it. No regrets whatsoever.
I have 1 and I love it... best device I've ever owned 🤙🏽
It means you did not had a somewhat decent phone yet
@@sumisumi-by8xv it means this phone ain't for everyone, but it works fine for me and my life style.
@@thatoff-roaddude9515 i know its not for everyone, and also i love this phone, but to say this is some sort of a magnificent phone... That's incorrect
@@sumisumi-by8xv and that's why we have a thing called opinion. I can care less what anyone else thinks I personally love it 😁
@@thatoff-roaddude9515 facts it's the best phone, it's for ppl that love future phones and child good memories. Android 10 is coming soon
I Like the content.
Thank you and
Keep it coming 😊
Thanks for that Bc I was about to order one and was getting bc pretty frustrated at there being no long term review
I wish motorola released the new razr on any other carriers not just verizon...
Personally, I do think that besides the price tag (and that Galaxy Z Flip on the market), the questionable quality of the hinge is also a major factor of causing this product to be disliked by many people...
UK/EU are still getting ripped of with prices still £1000 - £1500 and higher. Cheapest price on Ebay was £999 USED with visibile marks.
Great video. Thanks for this very useful review. 👍👌
Do you think we could get a review of the Samsung Tab S6 Lite when it ships?
Yep I have it ordered!
Are you going to do hands on review for the Galaxy Flip?
Thank you
🙏🏻wonderful video.Have always luv the flip, just not as practical today as we use our phones continuously through everyday.
It should have some kind of thumb stud, like on folding knives to help with opening. Or some light, spring-loaded assist system.
I will say that if folding phones become the norm, this is the design manufacturers need to go with. Folding tablets are a fun idea, but not something that people can fit in their pockets. Both this and the Galaxy Fold did it perfectly. Hopefully as time goes on, these devices will become easier to make, cheaper to the consumer, and added ruggedness to the design. (I'd go bonkers for a Galaxy Fold Active)
Of course it's been quiet. For that price, nobody wants to touch it
The phone is awesome! I love it!
It's getting there. With its specs and being a folder, I think $500 is about what I would be willing to pay.
Its been a practice that any phone brands release a certain model and listen for a while for any feedbacks, then they release a better model, maybe faster but a lot way better than the first one. Remember the time when iPhone release a US only version and people complain they cannot travel the globe with it. So Apple Inc get to follow it with another yet actually the same model that can be used or sell world wide. As for the new RAZR it maybe needs to have a faster processor, or better screen resolution or a way better camera, or a water resist, shock proof model where previous Motorolas were fashioned in such a way. Who knows
Modern smartpohones may fit into the average *man's* pockets, but I've heard many complaints from women about this issue. Women's pants typically have smaller pockets that can't hold the large phones that have become normal. Also, for someone like me who prefers skinny or slim fit jeans, if the phone fits in the pocket it is very noticeable and difficult to get out. I can see the benefit from the smaller form factor the Razr and Z Flip offer.
I had one on pre-order the day it was released kept it a week and pre-ordered the S20 ultra and was told to keep the razr past the 14 return date ... had it 3 weeks total until the S20 ultra came in ... the razr4 turned heads and worked well and battery wasn't bad and a phone txt and talk but Facebook and RUclips killed it ... i do find myself missing it sometimes honestly I was afraid of breaking it and the S20 ultra is badass
To release a brand new phone with low budget materials, low-quality feel, low tech camera, and especially a low battery life capacity, low processor specs and old operating system is competitive market suicide.
Then on top of that who would be foolish enough to grant crooks like Verizon exclusivity?
That, is definitely having one foot in the grave.
Makes one wonder ... who is the CEO at Motorola?
(((({{{(((I need to speak to your CEO!!!!!!!)))}}}))
Wes R. Wes R, you don't sound too bright. I bet you don't even have a solution, I do, but I won't post it on RUclips for free.
In response to your comment about the CEO, a CEO is not an overachievement! Maybe, to you.
Especially, a CEO who can't even invest in a decent hinge, let alone in a decent battery (solid state or whatever).
It is no excuse for releasing a poorly designed device.
By the way, I am a CEO of my own process server company.
The rest, is nobody's business.
Marshall Kinnaird Marshall, you have a good point. 👍
Wes R., come to think of it, George Washington Carver was not a CEO nor a member of the Food & Drug Administration, yet he was more powerful than the entire Food & Drug Administration combined!
So, before you get all emotional with your }}}} excessive exclamations, let me address to you two simple questions before you dare think that you can take me on:
1) What was the most significant mistake that Apple failed to take advantage of, awhile, Steve Jobs was around, that would have "crushed" Microsoft?
2) What is the difference between a manager and a leader?
If you can't answer these, I seriously doubt that you are even a future candidate to be a CEO.
By the way you replied, you can use a crash-course in business etiquette before you can even request to speak to a CEO.
In the business world, "I need" is very self-serving expression and is an unprofessional approach.
I bet you have no solutions, and you're just a typical RUclipsr with a poor attempt to discredit my comment.
Nice keep it up 💪👍👌
Basically, if you're android, are looking for a long term phone in the new decade, really love flipphones. Then yeah get it.
When do you think it’ll be available on other carriers?
Any comments on how it *sounds* as a *phone* -- in regular, speaker & hands-free in car modes???
I have a 2007 motor razor the back cover is rubber and it’s real sticky how can I clean it please help ..
Can you please do an updated tab s6 with one ui 2.0 review???
If I can find an used one for cheap I’ll get one, seems cool
Just get z flip
@@jadgbanzer9246 and who is going to pay for the difference? It's not like I not want a z flip, but if I can get a foldable at a flat smartphone price I will
@@thealterlion7163 z flip is cheaper🤣 and way better just look up specs
@@jadgbanzer9246 razr: 750 dollars
Z flip: 1400 dollars
Tf?
@@thealterlion7163 the title is CLICKBAITING you it is actually 1500 while z flip is 1380 do some reaseach and by time it is used z flip will also be cheaper used and will still be better with not near structure flaws
Hopefully the next gen, is better!!!
I don’t recommend opening the phone that aggressively. I had the original razor and after a while the top screen stopped displaying after constantly opening it like that.
Every first edition tech always has issues. That's why it's best to wait for the Moto razr 2. I hope they make one with the short comings fixed.
imagine this style with the regular razr 🤷🏼♀️
Are you recording with a 11 Pro
I believe that he is, from viewing 4:15
@@Photo0021 oh yeah he is
The biggest problem is making it Verizon exclusive any exclusive phone hurts it.
Again two months later, in my European country, the Razr Fold still costs... $ 1685 ~ $ 1765 (price converted back from € to Dollars)
I got an Xperia 1 II instead because it gave me better bang for buck (especially the camera) but fuck me this phone is drop dead gorgeous. If Motorola decides to release a future version with a better camera I would definitely consider it because I want a phone that can fold to take up less space in my pocket.
Can you text someone while phone is closed? Can you charge it while closed?
Traded mine in without opening it mind you for a z fold 2 best decision I ever made.
You dont know what you missed
What about screen protectors? I drop my iPhone a lot!
250/299 tops... And probably will used it while exercising or going out.. 👍 great video.. 👍 :)
i will buy a foldable when they get down to 300 or so. mainly because it cant be my daily driver. my working conditions would shred the screen in a day
I think is a good phone and in some ways better than the Galaxy Z Flip like it's bigger external screen with much more interactions, the plastic bottom body which adds grip among others. I think future generations are the ones to watch out for tho because they'll improve on the downsides of its predecessor.
me personally could use this. I dont use my phone for anything other than music, texting, calls, and twitter. even youtube is a rarity
$750 isn't bad but for like $500 it'd be the perfect backup/secondary phone
Naah I’ll still buy it when it comes to 300$
I really love watching your videos
Keep up the good work!
Looks great and I would pay the price if the phone will be more rugged.
If this phone launched with a lifetime screen warranty and at $350 I would have gotten it. But $1500? What? Did they think this was the first go with this style phone? Even the first time around we didn't pay this much at launch for mediocre specs.
The first gen of huge hyped flagships are always expensive. People who think $1500 is too expensive are extremely unintelligent. Yea, it's expensive for the tech but as time goes on, and the next version comes out, it'll be cheaper and with better tech. All because they charged so much for version one.
My thoughts exactly! It's laughable that people expect a phone of this caliber, even with its mid-range specs, to be $300 - $500. Go buy an iPhone SE if you're looking for a smartphone in that price range. Here we have a one of the first phones on the market with brand new technology that is an engineering feat. Even if the material the display is made of isn't what people are used to and they have durability concerns, you still have to take a step back and realize what is being achieved here. You are literally taking a screen and folding it in half without breaking it! Of course, you're going to pay a premium for that.
This is a super cool idea but if I'm honest I'd much sooner buy an updated Android powered Ming a1200. Easily my favorite phone ever.
Even if modern big phones can fit in a pocket that is while standing, good luck sitting down comfortably
cant wait for the crazr!!!!
I hope it has a big price drop. Its $2299 where I live. Far too expensive needs a huge drop before I think about buying it. I get the tech is ahead of it's time compared to competitors but it's still too expensive. I hope they dont abandon this phone. Next gens after the tech gets cheaper and moto could get more customers back
You've got to review the z flip!
