CORRECTION: In this video, I stated this is the only foldable with any kind of water resistance. That's not true. Samsung's Z Fold 2 also features an "Anti-Erosion Waterproof Coating" on its internal components, similar to the coating on the Razr 5G's internals. MrMobile regrets the error.
I'm excited that we are again back to the day when phones are exciting and adventurous. Gotta thank Samsung Z Fold for kicking off this new era. I'm excited for your LG Wing review!
what was exciting and adventurous ? isn't it better to finally have big-ass practical phone screens ? take for example galaxy note.. much better to put an spen in there rather than folding some shit
@@adrianperes7944 But the point is that you can get a big screen. AND a phone than can fold. Too early to buy folding phones but the concept is great! Much rather have a small phone I fold out to a big one when I need it than having my Note 10+ IF it could compare. But it can't yet so I'll keep my Note... :P

@el capitano well yeah, they are practically selling different devices under the same name. In my country Note20 Ultra comes with both Exynos and 8 Gb of ram, there is no other version available. Even if I could understand processor difference, some 4G/LTE models having 8 Gb (compared to last years 12 on Note10+ and 12 on other Ultra devices) is only their greed and cutting corners wherever they can, nothing else.
I don't know if you'll actually read this, but this video sent be down the path of upgrading to the Razr. I started with the "when phones were fun" videos. I felt nostalgic, and then I saw this in my recommended feed. This is a great video that captures everything that I have wanted from a new phone that's not another rectangle snore fest. I've said to myself for years that I'd love my old razr flip phone with spotify and navigation and voila here it is! Thank you for the review!
Glad, that despite mediocre sales and carrier partner options of the first gen that they kept going. 👍 There's forward progress and that's important to me as a interested consumer. Hi quality content as always Michael, thanks!
Looking back at this RAZR, I wish the design remained the same, just tuning the cameras, increasing battery size and charging speeds, and it would be absolutely stunning. The design is still, very iconic.
Since 2013 I've always watched your videos as treat for myself after long study sessions and to also keep up with the latest tech. Keep Up The Good Work and Congrats on 1 Million!!
I actually really like the design this time. The first one was good, but it's better this time. It seems really polished with those metallic elements and a more seamless curved design.
Yeah, I was surprised that LG decided to omit me from the first wave of devices, since everyone knows how excited I am by strange new form factors. Maybe they were just trying to make sure I actually took a real vacation instead of a working one. :)
The video is clocks in to a respectable 8 minutes, but damn, you fit all of the important things a customer need without sacrificing the meaty and juicy bits, good and bad on this video. Mad props, Michael.
is it just me or did that cat picture look a little less than detailed and phones usually make note of every piece of hair when taking cat photos here it's must muddied
As a black cat owner: this really depends on the light. I have taken both incredible details of the fur and black void pictures of my cat on OnePlus 7P.
I'm getting my new Razr 5G tomorrow morning. It arrived at my post office box Saturday afternoon. I really can't wait. I've literally been watching EVERY video out there on this device. Michael's video is THE best. Not only is his style the most professional, his content is clearly the most compelling too. After watching several dozen videos on the Razr 5G, this one gets my Emmy Award for best performance.
Jus passed 1M mark !!! but seriously don't you think he deserves way more than this. One word: under rated! I would watch the nex moment when your videos are up. Such a nice way of presentation. Keep rocking... Millions of subs to come!!
Not gonna lie I love my Razr 5G especially since I can do pretty much everything from the front display. Also having a flip phone has been cool again lol
7:52 Yes, Mr Mobile, I would love to see a WPWF on that. I would love to see a WPWF on literally anything you do. That seriously totally awesome. I've only like gotten into tech the last couple years, so it's rad seeing the stuff I missed out on in decades past... Plus, then your video style is so great, I just love watching your videos! You're really technically good at doing this.
This guy has like the most interesting commentary in the entire RUclips community. I can binge watch this and even older videos for hours over the course of multiple days.
this. 1500 bucks for a midrange phone. you get the same specs without fold for under 300. doesn't matter how expensive production etc is. unless this is available for under 800 bucks, it will stay a niche product.
Not bothered taking a look at smartphones until now, have been using a Motorola V2 for years, still use it, original batteries as well. Did not realize these were on the market, will be purchase now, thanks for the video information, a terrific demeanor you have!
Not quite I have found the call sound quality on Samsung phones lacking, the last two that I have had I sent back for refund and changed for another brand. Good to see Motorola place an emphasis on this instead of gimmicks.
you really are one of the best tech guys, i don't miss a video you upload . i was sad when i saw that this incredible video just got a 50k view , you deserve "millions of views"
mr ! im just a boy from iran who watch your videos and wish I can use that staffs you use... but I'm glad when you come with a new video :D amazing job.keep doing it :)
0:43 That notch and chin is still ugly and overpriced to me especially when compared to the Z Flip 5G specs from its chip to the cameras and screen resolution.
@Sphereslip It is the reason why the crease in the middle is less deep than Samsung. It's actually very clever, compared to a simple hinge that everyone else makes
Mr mobile really has some of the best review videos you can find online. I'd click on one even if I wasn't interested in the product just because I love the presentation so much.
I am personally an Apple guy (at least for phones) but it’s so cool that phones are finally being updated for there form factors. I am just tired of the slab of glass form myself. If I were to get an android phone it would be this razr. It’s so useful and pocket friendly. Great video!
The screen folding mechanism that Motorola used hides the creases exceptionally well compared to the Z Flip but the drawback is that it cannot stay open in multiple different positions. Still, a great design to get rid of that crease!
... It doesn't get rid of the crease at all. It just makes them slightly shallower, but instead of one crease you get THREE. They also get SIGNIFICANTLY worse with age whereas Samsung's (& now Motorola's as well) UTG foldables' creases stay much the same throughout ownership. The RAZR/5G's display not actually being laminated to anything was a major problem.
@@Cooe. I didn't say it got rid of the crease. It's just a lot less pronounced. Yes, you get 3 creases but they are shallow and you don't see them at all compared to what Samsung is doing. They are a bit more visible after 2-3 years of use, but even then they are no wear the level of Samsung. I switched from a Z Fold 4 to a OnePlus Open and it is so much better to not see the crease there.
It just launch in Thailand last week. We never thought the Moto will came back agian. Maybe I will switch from Z Flip to Razr because mini screen and 5g. Nice video and waiting for full review.
As always, great video! Just throwing out there, I've been using galaxy z flip 5g since release and its working great just like non flip phone. I don't baby it. If you're thinking about getting one, go for it. I have zero regrets. Its got major cool factor
I can't wait for the time when you can actually "angry hang up" on someone again... Without breaking the bank 😂. I liked flip phones back in the days. And I was pissed when Nokia abonden them after n93 (I think). You ALWAYS deliver your videos with such a nice touch. Bullseye again :)
I always wait for your videos.. the analogy that you draw up between components and shots are just fantastic, i can always look forward to one thing and that is the use of language.. like always great video.. looking forward to many more... Congratulations on 1M
Yes! I would enjoy a review of the RAZR 2. Back in the day I was spilt between the RAZR 2 and the BlackBerry Curve 8330 i ended up going with the BlackBerry.
Having had the original Razr back in the day I do have a certain fondness for the flip style architecture. That said I can't see myself spending that insane level of money for a phone. Modern phones have reached a point where even the budget models meet my needs. I have a Motorola G7 Supra (Power), a 2019 model. I think I spent $150 total for the phone, case, liquid screen protector and first month's service out the door from Cricket. It's been a great phone, meets all my needs, and the huge battery lasts 2 days. Don't get me wrong. I love watching these high end reviews, but I often wonder how many people who buy these can truly afford them.
Great stuff as always man. I’m definitely more excited for this one than the Samsung offerings. I’m just much more of a fan of the Razr design. The camera seems plenty good enough for my needs and I’m not concerned about the raw spec sheet, as long as it performs well.
Great to see mobiles like this going back to the early days when it was more exciting and not do dull looking as they are today. Phones starting to become individual again :)
Seeing the trends toward foldables, I'd decided to make the Razr 5G my daily. Picked one up on Mercari, unlocked and like new for $550 with a 2 year accidental warranty👍The icing on the cake and what I do with all my older tech is sell it online to offset my newest purchases. After selling my S8 Active, the Razr was all in under $400! At that price point, well "Hello Moto" 😊

Yeah thanks for conveying the right info!! That's why we love MrMobile 🥰
Don't worry, we're all human
I have moto X4 and charges full in an hour so I hope that the 15w charger on Razr 5G must be useful in 2800 mAh battery.

I love your reviews, no bs. Straight to the point with the pros and cons and at the same time maintaining your level of class and swagger.
I don't know if you'll actually read this, but this video sent be down the path of upgrading to the Razr. I started with the "when phones were fun" videos. I felt nostalgic, and then I saw this in my recommended feed. This is a great video that captures everything that I have wanted from a new phone that's not another rectangle snore fest.

Foldable is the future! And samsung got 50000 preorders of their Fold 2 in Korea only!
Looking back at this RAZR, I wish the design remained the same, just tuning the cameras, increasing battery size and charging speeds, and it would be absolutely stunning. The design is still, very iconic.
Watching this on my brand new Moto razr 5G is a different kind of satisfying. Thanks for the review Michael.
Since 2013 I've always watched your videos as treat for myself after long study sessions and to also keep up with the latest tech.
Keep Up The Good Work and Congrats on 1 Million!!
5:56 I like how Jibo turns to the window. Kinda cute.
Nice observation
Damn, you're eagle eyed
Jibo is cute and you can see it in older videos as well.
Thanks MrMobile for letting it stay in a place where we can see it. :)
I actually really like the design this time. The first one was good, but it's better this time. It seems really polished with those metallic elements and a more seamless curved design.
Looking forward for an "Into the Fold" episode starring the LG Wing =]
Should it be considered a folding phone tho🤔 maybe a new series... Into the flip? Idk i'm just wing-ing it🙃
Yeah, I was surprised that LG decided to omit me from the first wave of devices, since everyone knows how excited I am by strange new form factors. Maybe they were just trying to make sure I actually took a real vacation instead of a working one. :)
@@TheMrMobile I am sorry for you mr mobile and we are more disappointed than you with lg 😭😭
When phones were fun modern edition
I think Michael may need a new category for the Wing, "In the Rotation" 🤔
I got one. .......love it and will make it work. ....switching from an s21 Ultra has been shocking, it's smaller, can't stop playing with it. Solid.
Ahhh some good ol Mr Mobile to watch on a Saturday morning.
Man this guy is sooo good at making reviews

Mr. Mobile: *tried to type word "Totally"
Razr: YODA
I been waiting all week to see this dude review this phone. Didn't disappoint. I'm buying in the fall as well
Same.
Foldables. The way Android discovered how to charge me more than f ing Apple.
this phone costs less than the new iphones actually.
Depends on your region tho
this. 1500 bucks for a midrange phone. you get the same specs without fold for under 300. doesn't matter how expensive production etc is. unless this is available for under 800 bucks, it will stay a niche product.
i can literally find the zflip and Motorola for cheaper than an iPhone pro max, I can find them for just around 900 bucks

Not bothered taking a look at smartphones until now, have been using a Motorola V2 for years, still use it, original batteries as well. Did not realize these were on the market, will be purchase now, thanks for the video information, a terrific demeanor you have!
I feel like adding moto’s outer screen on the Z Flip makes the perfect modern day flip style smart phone
That'll probably happen in tyee 2nd gen flip phone
Not quite I have found the call sound quality on Samsung phones lacking, the last two that I have had I sent back for refund and changed for another brand. Good to see Motorola place an emphasis on this instead of gimmicks.
Z Flip 2 will most likely end up having an even larger outer usable screen compared to the Razr 5G.
Glad i found this channel. So much better than the other phone reviewers...
I'd imagine that next year that with a price drop and some good marketing, the 3rd gen Razr would do really well!
you really are one of the best tech guys, i don't miss a video you upload .
i was sad when i saw that this incredible video just got a 50k view , you deserve "millions of views"
Ultrawide and 4k! My eyes thank you!

Happy to see Jibo enjoying the reviews, too.
Waiting for the days of competition when premium folding phones will be sold for $200
This guy might be the best tech reviewer on RUclips in my opinion. Precise and elegant.

@Sphereslip bro this hing makes it even more interesting
I am not a notch fan. However I look Razr is kinda a good design than Z Flip.
Finally on 1M, well deserved Sir, well deserved.
I'm noticing a half-second lag between opening up the phone and the folding screen lighting up. Something they could fix down the road?
