    I just got this phone and I'm really enjoying it. I'm very impressed and I'm glad that Motorola is still a contender in the communications industry. I had a razor back in the 2000s in, in fact I had two. One was a metal version and the other was done in a matte black. It was one of the best "flip phones". The little screen on the outside is perfect for me. I actually feel like the larger screen on the outside is overkill. It has more than enough power and speed. I got it for $525.

    My Razr 2023 (as it is called here in the US) only cost me *$378.11* with trading-in my mint condition (and mint green) iPhone 11.
    I don't really care about the front (closed) screen being that small. I ordered the sage green color.
    Also ordered some nice Motorola earbuds from Amazon that should also arrive on 10/30/23.

      They support for 4 years and 3 major android versions. So as a user you could probably use this phone for 5/6 years depending on support for the final Android version the Razr 40 is on. Samsung is about the same with 3-4 years depending on the device. Pixel is leading the market with 7 years. Either way Moto is inline with major competition
