Literally same I have an iPhone 12 pro and I just upgraded to the razr 2023 not the plus version. But after seeing this I'm just going to swap it out for the plus and pay that restocking fee.
I’ve tried doing this multiple times, especially with each Razr release, but the lack of iMessage and overall Android experience is hard to adjust to from iOS.
Ive had the 2023 model for one year now, and can tell you this is the best phone i have had ...ever... Motorola has brought back excitement to the cell phone. They need to spend more money on advertising so more people know about it. ...i am excited to get the new one in a few weeks...
Motorola knocked this one out of the park. I'm definitely getting it. Samsung better get in gear. Two years in a row on these flips that Motorola has beat them.
Yes! I debated between the Razr+ and the Z-Flip 5 last year and ended up with the Z-Flip 5 because it just seemed more mature. With these changes, I'm going to have to switch sides and go Moto! I prefer the form factor of the Razr+ anyway. Thanks!

I got used to using Google stock android on the pixel. Samsung one UI I don't like. I'm having a hard time getting used to it. Probably going to switch to the razr
@@UnboxerofWorlds Honestly I think upgrading to the 2024 would be a much better choice. It has a better processor, larger external screen, more memory, larger battery with faster charging speed , especially compared to the standard 2023 Razr with the smaller external screen. If you want to just test the waters of owning a foldable phone without breaking the bank, then the 2023 Razr is a good place to start. I got my Razr in the Vanilla Cream color. I wanted to go with a more toned down cleaner look, without it being too flashy. Lol
If it wasn't for their slow mentality towards OS updates and security updates, this phone otherwise pretty nice and competitive. Its the lack of communication towards when they release OS updates that bothers me as i have had the razr 2023 until the launch of the zfold 5. According to a friend who still has his, he's still on Android 13 as of this comment date.
@@terrym540 the charger and the case. The US version only comes with the phone and a cable. As for the reason, because they can because it's not legally required to do so like the rest of the world to do so
Seriously considering getting this phone. But definitely going to wait till it goes on sale because Motorola does that like a month or so after they drop new phones.
I do own a flip 5 and compared to the previous Motorola RAZR ultra Samsung's hinge last longer when it comes to how many flips the hinge could manage before the phone breaks. This one however im not sure how many flips you could get out of this one. One big issue that I have with Samsung's flip is that the cover screen isn't large enough to wrap around the cameras like the RAZR. If the next edition of Samsung's flip doesn't have a larger screen wrapped around the cameras im gonna give up on Samsung flips all together and might switch over to the next generation RAZR next year if the hinge surpasses Samsung's hinge tech.
I feel all the reviews tend to miss the most significant thing, which is after-sales support. Only 3 years of software support on the device and vulnerability patching that only happens about every 90 days. If Samsung can do monthly patching and prompt updates and longevity, so should Motorola.
Owning the 2020,2022 and ultra 40 razr i will skip this 50 ultra due to lacklustre os updates,on the Motorola community forums not one agent can give us any idea when the 40ultra will be getting our android 14 updates,as for security updates i have been getting the bimonthly security updates,im in Australia,as the agents have stated on the forum security updates are done per phone,not the whole region, in America others have the latedt security patches others are still on May 2023,this is the same for all regions, as for me this will be my last razr untill Motorola/Lenova release updates in a timely manner...I hope this helps a few ppl decide.
I have the 2023 razr nd love it but i wanna upgrade ifk if i wanna stick with the razr or get the razr+ yet imma take a look at them in person nd decide does anyone know if the screen on the front has a screen protector
I am going to downgrade from the S24U as I find it to big and looking at the Razr plus and the Flip 6 I like the look of the Razr just not sure how will stack up against the Flip 6 and being a Samsung user wondering would I be disappointed moving away from Samsung? any thoughts?
I'd stay with Samsung. You're already used to the operating system and everything and they send updates regularly. Moto is famous for not sending updates. People are steadily complaining about it. I want the razr so bad but the android updates stop me every time
Nice phone but I'm too scared to get this phone..read too many comments about how the hinge breaks very fast then you're charged to get it fixed after already buying the phone, ridiculous. I really want this phone but ill probably just go with the Samsung galaxy s24 fe.
does not make sense to have 2x telephoto instead of ultrawide, main sensor is already 50mp so decent image can be gained by digital crop already, 3X OR 5X would make sense but not 2x.
I dont think so, base iphones have ultrawide for 5 years now, so do most of the other phones who have 2 cameras, not to mention we have tons of softwares in built and on app store which can do decent post portraits
@@mayankkshirsagar4098 Most main sensors are already wide running between 24mm and 28mm anything under that as you put it will capture more of the scene but will be much more distorted (fish eye effect) while a tele photo with 35mm or higher focal length will capture human subjects with less distortion (more pleasing to the eye). Cropping a 24mm image is still a 24mm image.
Until folding display devices use regular glass its a nonstarter because they are functionally inferior. When your fingernail can cause damage to your display, who is buying that? Then the factory installed plastic screen protector - I don't like screen protectors. This is a cool design but just isn't practicle - in theory it would use 99% regular glass and only this "flex glass plastic" composite where it folds? IDK - and even the physical crease is visually and physically distracting. IS there some material I Am unaware of that acts like glass, durable as glass, yet can fold with no crease?
Love the multitasking on the outer screen, tent mode, separate AOD settings, lock screen and home screen on the outer screen, and all the other functions they put. Even with goodlock, flip 5 cover screen is oddly limited. It's just like a supercharged smartwatch.
Looking at the video , kind of looks like a pixel feel flip phone . I love the stock android on the Google pixel. I recently got the new z flip and I don't like Samsung UI or the apps . I downloaded all Google apps. Like the phone app, contacts, calendar . Etc . But Samsung makes you use their own apps . Maybe I will buy the Motorola on black Friday
Can't wait for your hands-on with that phone in the top left corner! 😲
It's a direct line to Nixon in 1972
Red one should direct to Power Puff girls
Still working
Commissioner gordon special.
The best looking flip phone out there.
I’m gonna buy this. Been rockin an iPhone 11 Pro Max for a long time. I want a foldable phone again.
Facts same I have an iPhone 11 myself… Cant wait!…

Just so you know this won’t get os updates. I just bought the razed plus 2024 and it still has android 13 on it.

I love that you are still doing the phone reviews my guy all those other guys have moved on
This Razr looks promising

I'm getting bored with Samsung Flips
I wasn't getting bored but I had the hot pink razr back when the phones originally came out. I'm super excited to get it back!
I had the Z flip a few years ago, now i have the Pixel 7 BUT i want to go back to the flip and the Razr+ is the one for sure, hopefully this year.
So they finally added an AOD. That makes this seem like the complete flipping package.
Looks cool! Think it’s time to go back to Razr
Looks so much better than Samsung's Flip 5 but I just can't stop loving Samsung One UI.
I'm torn between the two. Samsung for UI and Razr for design
It's overrated in my opinion. A lot of bloat.
I got used to using Google stock android on the pixel. Samsung one UI I don't like. I'm having a hard time getting used to it. Probably going to switch to the razr
razr's fold line is very impressive.
The one thing I'll never get over is the "Hello Moto" when youre setting up your phone, its way better than any phone in the market
That is absolutely stunning
Chic. The Razr 50's 6.9-inch OLED display powered by Mediatek looks stunning! Perfect for streaming and gaming on the go.
If Samsung doesn’t have a full screen outer screen then this razr+ will be the flip phone to buy this year
I love your videos You're the person who taught me all Abt phones and tech ever since I was 10 till now❤❤
Underrated and gorgeous
Great video Tim. You covered the most important things the folding Moto offers. Keep the videos coming
I still can't believe Motorola hasn't added an always on display to their phones.
Edit: oh 7:14 they finally did it!
They had it in 2015 on my droid turbo 2
😂
The only thing missing is the microSD card slot that was on my RAZR V9m.
I'm literally watching this video on my 2023 Razr. 😊 I'm actually thinking about upgrading to the 2024 when it comes out.👌🏾
Should I buy the 2023 version or wait for the new one? Last year's models are on a big discount right now. What color did you get?

@@rwj777 Thanks for your advice. I will wait and check out the 2024 Razrs before I buy anything.
@@UnboxerofWorlds 2023 cameras are terrible. Although someone fast processor, it can get choppy at times.
@@vpkb 2024 it is then!
Phone of the year tbh. I'm genuinely considering ditching my 15 Pro Max for it...

Amazing unboxing.
I got mine n love it
what about updates still using android 13 on moto edge 30
Great unboxing and hand on review as always brother
Hi Tim, could you please confirm if this supports Moto Connect in wired mode? Motorola has not published anything on this topic.
Probably it does not due to USB 2.0
@@konradbe3180 GSMArena says that but at the time they had nothing to prove it, could be wrong though
This might be the best foldable phone when it comes to customization and usefulness 😮.
You are a goto on review you do a great job Tim
Had my 2023 for 2 months and the screen protector said oeace out. Phone still works, just has a god awful crease about 2 centimeters above the hinges.
Tim when are these coming to the U.S?
July 10th pre-order, July 24th release. I'll update the link in the description once Pre-Orders go live.
Unboxing and review of Xperia 1 VI please
It looks like it opens completly flat this time? Is that right?
These look top quality. Motorola really getting their groove back.
Wow. Good looking flip phone.
In the UK the phone is supplied with a 68W charger, and a case.
Why does Motorola omit them from the USA version?
@@terrym540 the charger and the case. The US version only comes with the phone and a cable. As for the reason, because they can because it's not legally required to do so like the rest of the world to do so
Great Video Tim
Is that what will be the 50 Ultra in Europe?
Yes
Gorgeous
I want the phone just to use it as closed square small phone
Where do I buy a case for it though?! Can’t find one
Good looking phone
Seriously considering getting this phone. But definitely going to wait till it goes on sale because Motorola does that like a month or so after they drop new phones.
It’s on sale right now for $899
I'm so sorry Tim, but that beautiful plaid shirt stole my attention instead of the phones! 😍😍😍👌🏻

Just preordered. I had a Samsung a52 5g. I'm so freaking excited!
Will good lock works in? Will Samsung pay support in all android devices?
Ofcourse not
@@disguisepower ok
is the front screen more responsive?? I love last years model but the front screen kinda useless unfortunately =\
Does it have a type c video out?
It looks like a nice update over the 40.
Great vid! How about takin selfies (night time/low light) with the main cam when folded? Can the flash be activated? Anyone?
Why not put the camera bump on the other side of the phone instead of on the small front screen
Does it have Motorola ready support.
looks awesome
I only watch your reviews TIM. ❤ Because you are the most honest reviewer.
Great video Tim! Do you think the Samsung flip 6 will be better?
Nah. I'm on a z flip 5.... And the updates are a joke.. And they kept that inferior 3.4 outer display....
Does it have dual Sims?
this Phone looks just amazing, thx Tim for your interesting Videos 👍😉
i consider to buy this one 😊
Why do the US versions only come with 256 gb storage?
any idea on the PWM rate?
Hi: does this phone can use google map, google search?
Where can I buy this online that can ship to the philippines?
Motorola has come along way in their phone dapartment
Best channel in RUclips history
Can we call from flipped mode?

This is so amazing
Of course it’s the first time boot up we just watched you open it.

I wonder why Motorola doesn’t make a Galaxy Z Fold competitor.
Hey Tim, Ty for more Android content!
I would not use the always-on display All it does is drain the hell out of your battery. I would use tap to show.
Widgets on smaller screens are more fun to use. Just seem right
i'm really surprised how good this phone looks and operates
Great video content... Makes me want one.. 😁

Man, I really want a razr but I’m also too used to apples ecosystem to leave.
As soon as this one comes out im going to switch from my Razr40 Ultra 🎉
I wish these features were included on Samsung's Z Flip. They seem to treat the outer screen as an afterthought. Very disappointing.
Motorola should make the first 3 cameras flip fold. they make flipfold better than the other brand like Sami.
