What are your thoughts on the Motorola Razr? Thanks for watching!
I absolutely love mine and the fact that it makes so many people smile!
I so plan to get one.
I think it looks ugly not gonna lie. I'm gonna wait for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip
That the carrying case costs as much as my phone 😅
Screen will go out just like the in dash dvd screens. That ribbon will get wore out from opening and closing. Just imagine all the dust that's gonna get under there. Js
The way that it bends proves that tech will be unbelievable in the future
Very scary If you think about it.. we will no longer be humans .. but bots.
Have you seen the displays that roll out like a scroll? Crazy stuff
@@ShaneSymonds Yes I did and it's amazing but as said can be scary.
@@natibrandt9343 many people are already programmed like robots and easily controlled to think and act in a desired way, they just don't realize it. look at all the people wearing masks and ready to willingly surrender a large chunk of freedom out of fear of a fake outbreak. those people running around with their masks and "social distancing" look like robots to me. there are people who wrote books decades ago, trying to warn us of exactly what they would do. they said they will repeatedly fake disasters and have them hyped up in the media to cause mass fear and chaos, and they will use the chaos to pass a bunch of laws they'd never normally be able to pass. just like those people warned, they have done this repeatedly and they will continue to do so, and 99% of the population will fall for it every time just as they have been unknowingly programmed to.
@@Jack_80 yeah I'm 100 percent programmed because that's what I am just because I wore a facemask to try to protect myself from an outbreak that has killed around 400,000 people
i folded my wallet when i heard the price.
Lol.......good one
@@highwaymaintainer Thanks! 😅
I want it for nostalgic reasons. I have a note 10+ and RUclips crashes every other hour. I don't think any smartphone is perfect. Sometimes I wish the old flip razrs could come back. I also miss the classic blackberry.
I still carry my Alcatel One Touch. I love it.
I have a Fido program with unlimited text, 100 mns, free weekends and evenings for $25 per month.
I get alot of weird looks but call me crazy but I use a phone for calling and texting. 😎
I have a note 10+..and nothing crashes...ever
SAME
Exactly. I had the blue Razr back in 09. I miss hearing, “hello moto” before my phone rang 😩
I definitely miss blackberry (sensor over ball)
It's a cool phone but there's nothing about it that makes me want to spend $1500.
Verizon just emailed me buy one get one free, got me thinking about it
Terry Watkins hell yeah then just selll the other and get ur money back lmao
DOTHEDASH 😂😂
@@face1159 Hahaha, perfect response.
$2100
I just flipped my wallet back in.
Really enjoyed using folding phones back in the day, just something about closing it at the end of a coversation really resonated with me. End of each call was like closing a book once you're done with it. Shame about the lack of signature sound, lets wait and see what other models the future brings!
yea, now we gotta deal with trying to touch literally anything on your screen while your on call. that shit gets really old when your playing cat and mouse when your phone goes black because it thinks it’s on your cheek
When you close it you knew for sure you ended the call and you could safely shit talk about the person you just hung up with.
I love flip phones I want one
After seeing this , i realised that i can use my glasses case for keeping my iphone charger safe.
You have good insights in your reviews! Keep up the good work man
for those that dont know and havent seen other vids/article yet of this phone, ppl ended up finding out later that they end up with 2 creases, the screen begin to pop out from the hinge to the point u can lift up the screen and also after the wear on the hinge it starts making high cracking noise as you close and open the phone. probably alot more things will happen later too.
btw no hate here, just pointing out the facts to ppl that plan on buying this phone
Thanks for the video, I really like your channel, big up!
Tanks for the post. I was like king onto buying for nostalgia. I bet the screen would go bad after a 1000 opens; especially in the crease area. $1500 !? I’ll stick with my Apple 10s Max.
I think I'll wait 12 months until this thing goes on sale for $99 at my local kmart
good idea
U got a Kmart bruh??? 😂 🤣😂🤣
Agreed! 100%
@@johnboy5632 my local Kmart is closing down :(
Yup then get it as a 2nd or 3rd phone.. just for show.
nobody:
developers:
*okay here me out, 2003 but.....nicer*
Omg yesssss😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol
I mean. I’m here for it.
Hear.
Better than samsung flip
the box being a speaker stand is so creative
Got nothing to say. Just commenting for the YT algorithm. Keep up the good work 🔥🔥🔥
every time you fold the phone "I hope it doesn't break in half"
Nah, they tested that like crazy. People had the same fear when flip phones came out.
Even 500 $ seems high for this with few old specifications. But looks are just wow.
Great video!! Your descriptions, comparisons, and esp tapping the screen for us to listen to the sound really make me feel I'm actually holding the phone. Subscribed! Man, I was really hoping for an easy one-hand whipping-out/opening of the phone.
PS: 6:45 for gaming why won't they flush it to the right so it is symmetrical with the bezels at the bottom of the phone...? For equal reachability for our thumbs.
Great video as always man !!!
The fact that it folds down to such a small size is very appealing to me.
All new technology is expensive and strange at first.
Pity its not available in the UK.
I had several of the original razors, before that the Moto star tac was sweet, look it up young people, and yes it was not color screen, but for us star trek fans it was the closest the the star trek communicator, so search motorola star tac and see how cool, but after that was the color screen Moto flip razor, man those were cool, I don't recall a model with a flash but there may have been one, but get this, the color razor had a camera that mostly didn't have a flash, now we all think we have cool smart phones with 50 million mega pixel camera, guess what, that don't mean crap, this was my experience, I'm guessing here but seems they we 2 megapixel cameras, which sounds low, but this part was amazing, I remember several times I would
See some wildlife I'm my yard, usually my cat lol, but I could flip open my razor and snap a pic, get this motorola and other smart phone makers, the razor NEVER needed a flash, so this was my experience, if my human eye could see the cat on the porch at say sunset the pic I took with the razor was EXACTLY what I seen with human eyes , another words how many people with the latest smart phones with a flash still take crap low light photos, I know every phone I have had in last few years has had very dissapointing low light pictures, so it makes we wonder how Moto razor phones took excellent low light pics, they turned out just like what I was seeing with my eyes and without a flash, cameras have became very dissapointing considering we spend 700 to 1000 on a phone now days. Wish I could rig one from my old razor to fit in my new cell phone, perhaps the optics were better and now software tries to do the job , also the later razors had WiFi, sure texting and web browsing are better now days, so you can tell I'm a fan of old razors and star tacs, plus OMG the fact we could flip it closed, hang up the call and protect our screens, so I hope the new razor get bugs worked out, they do look cool, and yes sometimes first edition phones need to be massed produced and used to find some bugs , I still have 3 and tried to charge the batteries but I guess th battery is old, I may order a new battery , I think the network is different so may have to just use wifi and camera, last razor I had also has a memory card , enough bragging on the old razor, I may order the new, I did have a email said buy one get one free, so i guess that makes them 750 each instead of 1500, wish I could rent one for about 2 weeks and try out
Import it!
Actually the sound you are hearing during the fold is the snap action latch releasing. The fact that the sound is so loud let's you know that in two or three years, it will still hold in place, rather than flop down. It's a good thing!
Awesome review! I'm even more interested in the device even more!
What smartwatch were you wearing on that video btw?⭐💛
Hatsoff to the engineers and designers who had worked on it 👏👏
My heart is breaking when the phone is folding and opening.
I'v been a Motorola fan for many years but sadly this device is a deception. At 1500$ is way to expensive .
have the same
@@sylvainggingras5945 agree. There is nothing super about this phone to spend that kind of money..
Love it, finally something exciting new, all the other phones look ecactly the same. I just wouldn't spend 1500 USD for any phone, though.
i just ordered a sony xperia 1, largely because it looks different than the rest of the newer phones.
I was waiting for this phone. Well done Motorola.
This channel is soooooooooo under yes underrated yes you reid that correctly underrated
I think foldable phones are a nice addition to the market for those interested. I'm just curious about the durability of the screens though.
Motorola: Are we a joke to you?
Samsung: Yes.
Motorola: Just use a simple hinge, dude like holy shi-
Samsung: *R O C K E T S C I E N C E*
thanks for this very detailed review... I owned the very first Moto Razr... In what feels like an almost other life 😬
Great video and review! The price should absolutely be under $900 in my opinion. I just didn't see any single feature that justifies the current MSRP. If the price is reduced, I would definitely consider purchasing this phone.
I actually miss the time when phones were interesting. You never knew what will they pull out of their sleeve. Round phones, powder box phone, square,wired one, slide phones, flip phones.... you name it.
Now days they are kind of all the same.
I want to see star trek high end spec phone. Like camera, hq multimedia (speakers and all) in pocket sized verzion.
how do you not expect that to crease over time where it folds after months of useing.
It's already noticeable when he opens and closes it like 3 times so it will definitely get worse..
I used to have the old razr! And the first iTunes Motorola Rokr! I love this!!
This is priceless what a good looking phone 👀
Actually a pretty cool phone! I had a razr when I was 16, coolest phone ever
I wonder how long before the screen starts breaking...
GAMIR_SFM I was thinking the same thing
Seems pretty well engineered despite all the noise it makes when opening and closing
@@ShaneSymonds There have been reports of Motorola razr having bumps and screen damage as a result from heavy usage at stores.... and many owners have said that it starts making a squeaky sound after 3 days of use... ill give it a solid month before its permanently broken.. and thats me over estimating it... for 1500$ this is a scam smh
@@taduro6874 the small form factor is very good thou
1year
Totally different feeling man...I have a golden one..🤘🤘🤘
This is the design what I'd go for IF I was interested in a folding phone.
I was hoping it would be a lot better. It seems to fail at everything, other then being a novelty.
I remembered my blackberry with that carrying case.
King Thranduil Which blackberry was it? I had 2 and I don’t remember any case...
@@alexnieto5561 blackberry 6210. Case is hard plastic with a large clip.
King Thranduil Ok I see, I had the blackberry pearl 8110 White and Red
Yes another vid!! Always good to hear your opinion!!
Thanks for tuning in!
@@ShaneSymonds always glad to tune in!
Is the flex upgrade, but seems like a regular Android, could be some + with the apps available?
imagine using the 2020 Razr like the good ol' Razr, it wouldn't last a day lmao.
I will wait one year, they come up with better specs in 2nd version
Conceptually cool. The flip is practical. Trading practicality for functionality. Ultimately it's just catering to the nostalgia.
I want a phone that’s essentially just this screen but on the sleeve of a jacket or something I could just attach to whatever? With wireless headphones, that would honestly be more than enough, plus practical!
I must admit...the packaging is super sleek!
This does not look worth it to me. The camera and plastic materials just ruin it to me. There's no reason this should be that expensive.
the guy in the vid said it feels premium, but other ppl say it feels like a toy, like them phone toys
It's An OLED plastic made to bend. It's expensive. A glass won't bend 😂🤪 camera? U can't put big stuff on a tiny very slim phone but it's worth it. I'm enjoying mine 😉👍
@@YourAverageGamer85 doesn't feel like a toy at all. Looks & feel durable & expensive. 👍 I'm loving it!
@@moirodgers9639 Glass can bend. A certain type can. It's what they're using in the Galaxy Z-Flip. And if the outside screen was smaller, they definitely could've fit a better camera.
@@moirodgers9639 and there's plastic used on the outside. The markup was a bit too high on this one
Awesome..!! Those were the days..! I ya just flip out my iPhone for this one..
I'm thinking of buying myself one in the future as a graduation gift for myself so I've been watching previews lately😂
Will you do a Goodlock 2020 review?
I wont make a dedicated review on it but I'll mention it when talking about a phone here and there
The battery life and the price. No thanks..
犬熊玉 also the specs aren’t great either for something that’s suppose to be a flagship style phone
I would buy this for $500 all day... But $1500? That's more than my iPad Pro!
Just Wondering same, I could do probably $800 the most but 1,500 is wayyy too much for a midrange phone. It may be foldable but to me it’s more of a hassle now to look at my phone. I’ll have to open it every time.
9:48 that is a retro case, it reminds me of the original Razor case that i used to have back in 2008 but that was a little different cuz it was designed to be attached on the belt
Thanks for the video!! Being a drums &smoke signals man myself, nice to see other brands apart from Samsung &Apple.I didn't think Motorola still made fones😂😂
Bet this 'flexible' screen has a limited amount of fold-unfold cycles before it breaks
No
The $1500 is just standard folds. Go with unlimited folds for only $1750
After a couple folds it looked like it was getting a wrinkle/crease where it folds.
Flossy says it’s good up to 27,000 folds
This phone is over prized for what it is 😂
True, but it does look unbelievably cool.
@Fishy Syzygy what is it?
Isn't every phone?
@@sneedlewoods829 a flip smartphone?
Awesome new fan here!
Welcome Kidsy!
I don't know how you do it with getting all of these devices for us man but I can't express how much I appreciate it. Thank you. You've been such a big help to me, and I hope you get that enough.
But I'm trying to figure out how this RAZR would be useful... why would I want to fold my phone into a smaller phone? My Galaxy S10+ fits in my pocket perfectly fine. The Fold is a phone that unfolds into a tablet. That's amazing, and at that you get a usable outside screen, way more powerful specs, Galaxy Fold Premier Service, One UI, and the Samsung Ecosystem. So for me it's just a no-go.
I think the RAZR was just more of a nostalgia phone that folds because it can fold.
Its thanks to awesome viewers like you tuning in to my videos that allows me to keep buying products for review! And I agree, the fold is my preference of device between the 2 here, but this clamshell design is something people are interested here in 2020. Problem is these and all other foldables up to this point, is price. They need to find a way to lower the price on these otherwise they will never be taken seriously and the masses will not buy into it. Thanks for watching!
@@ShaneSymonds yeah I feel like once people buy enough of these the price will go down. New technology. I will give something to the RAZR though and that's how it should be better for social media. Posting things on Instagram Stories and Snapchat, and viewing Instagram Stories is kind of a pain on the Fold. If you're watching IG stories with the bigger screen, it cuts off content. And posting forces you to use the outside screen unless you want your pictures to look weird with that aspect ratio.
1500 for outdated hardware?! It folds though!
Too funny hearing people complaining about the Razr screen, meanwhile 10's of millions of people walking around with cracked iPhone screens.
Not to mention people that dont even have verizon and thus will not buy it anyway
Hahahaa yep!
Glenn LaFaye because you can avoid breaking your screen by taking care of your screen, while this you cant avoid
They didn't pay 1500 for it...
You're definitely correct men. I have seen a lot also out there.
I'm guessing you're from Philly or South Jersey. Nice video
Wow thats so nostalgic . I remember the 1st on back in 2005! I want this phone. Only problem is its 1500$
Snadpragon 710?? 2510mah battery?? No steroe speakers?? $1500??? Nostalgia alone cannot justify the price. Screw this phone
My thoughts exactly, unlikely they will sell any
$1500 sheeeeeesh
I mean, it is still brand new.
In europe it's 1642,50 dollar!
No meu país R$ 9.000
@@prabhudevachennai5000 around 110000 rupees
@@prabhudevachennai5000 😂😂😂
I've had this phone for a year and I love it. I do texts, phone calls and videos without opening the phone. I have had no problem with the inner screen but, I only open the phone for assistant and to watch a full sized video. I can't wait for the 2022 razr to be released in the US. It's selling in China for 950.00, so it's about 400.00 less than the the razr 5g 2020.
Love them braided cables 👍👍👍👍
I can honestly say this is the first Motorola phone I have actually wanted to purchase. If they can improve the technology further for a more affordable price I'm sold.
Seems like they kinda missed the mark. At $1500, it out prices most flagship phones and the way it folds seems very uncertain to me, as far as the longevity since this is new tech. Part of what made the (original) razr special was that is was a decently reliable phone that was priced affordably. Most people from the era have a “dropped it in water and it still worked” kinda story. But truthfully, no one wants to give up their smart phones and go back to their phone that didn’t even have a qwerty keyboard, in the days when getting online on your phone was an expensive and pointless gimmick. They just remember the good conversations they had on them, the memorable pictures and videos, circling together in groups to share ringtones via bluetooth, learning to text, and possibly even sending out pictures for those very few with data plans.
Brother Amazing 💪
Really cool but gonna wait awhile until i get one.
C I answer the calls when closed?
Yes u can
I get why the Fold is expensive, i dont get why the Razr is that expensive. That's a hard skip for me
Because it's foldable...
Because its the world's 1st vertically foldable phone
Exactly. You're getting so much more with the fold for just $500 more
New technology
The Razr has a better fold mechanism.
Thanks brother for sharing review.👍
I'm making my husband buy it for me for my birthday that's coming up on March 2021. I'm so happy the Motorola website has the razr 2020 unlocked, currently with AT&T but I'll be switching back to Cricket. What I love about the phone is that's its plastic, not glass. I know that will discourage some people from buying it, but I love this phone. Everything about it ❤❤
2020:Foldable modern phone
3020: folding air pods
Like that was a good umah
Wow
Love this phone
Overpriced but really cool device!
Skeptical about the integrity of a folding screen over time and will be for a couple of years, until we see how many screens break in the middle. Am I wrong in my impression that the screen s one piece?
Very informative review. Very helpful.
Good Phone...
until motorola shows that it will be updated just 2 times
(for those who don't know:
Moto Z: 2 updates
Moto G: 1 update
Moto E: Any update)
I bought this phone recently when my doctor said that I can survive with one kidney...
well, you also can survive with one lung
My dream phone haysss😭😭
I really like this phone very interesting and original
why does it cost so much?
haha I'll tell you...
the packaging
I am disappointed in the low-end processor and small memory in a premium priced unit. I used the RAZR when it was a analog cell phone (yes, I am old) and it was a fantastic phone. I wonder about durability of this unit? The cool-factor is high but I am afraid the utility factor is well below my Samsung Galaxy Note 10+.
@Jacob Heth Maybe the processor is okay. I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 (on V) as a backup for my Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ on AT&T and a 15-year-old grandfathered plan with real unlimited unmanaged data. he difference between the S7 and Note10+ is night and day. My Note10+ is down as of this morning as UbreakIfix broke it while replacing the rear glass. Using the S7 is painful as it is so slow. I am not a "heavy gamer" but I am not sure how to take that comment "boomers like yourself". I am an early adopter and really want the RAZR to work but its low-end specs worry me. When it is available on T I will order.
@Jacob Heth I read about Visible but I cannot use it. AT&T has "Roam North America" which lets me use all my minutes/text/data (all unlimited) anywhere in North America. I spend at least 6 months a years in Mexico. Last November I burned 800GB of data and did not hear a word from AT&T
Motorola RAZR reminded me my time with ROYALE RAZR 👍🏻👌🏻
How much
will wait for the motorized version
Idk.....the razr looks too cheap to be that expensive. Thanks for the info.
When he started to fold the phone and wasn’t stopping my anxiety went :📈📈📈📈📈📈
They should offer different colors like they did in the past. For example, lime green and pink. It would be very fun.
Looks good .The last MOTOROLA PHONE I owned was a Motorola slide .
I like where technology is going but this just isnt it yet. That price is steep
The screen dough 🤮
White Fox yeah it bends holy shit
Most successful example of this new types of phones released a Microsoft: their phone have two separate displays with minimal gap: this more useful. But, I’m fully agree with Author - this is new technology and each attempt deserve appreciating
Nice presentation Shane
Not interested in a phone that cost half what my car cost.
Hell if it was 500 more it would be my damn mortgage lol
@@1uhot426 Last year I got another car $2K when I gave my prius away. Just don't drive enough to warrant owning a hybrid.
First I got a tow hitch installed ~$400, drove it for nearly a year and needed to get load shocks. Finally brought it to midas for shocks , $303.
Before I could get a tire across the line on the street a guy parked in the lot backed into my car. Adjuster said he did his job and , $1,644.00 is what it would cost to repair the car.
Car is not getting repaired that well I'm pounding out the dent making the door be able to be opened from the outside and Im putting that money away.
NEVER thought he was going to pay that no argument with him.
You shouldn’t own a car that costs double what a phone costs these days...
@@kencur9690 Got a more expensive car. Should have gotten the phone. I use my phone way more than my car.
@@GEAUXFRUGAL lol, fair point.
Give it about five more years until manufacturers get this right.
Dude it's a Motorola smartphone, of course it's awesome and it has a great and satisfying and neet good shape, I think that IT-IS-MESMERIZING.
how many folds can it take before the screen snaps?
