Your storytelling ability throughout all your reviews is truly inspiring and what makes you stand out against all the other "youtuber" journalists. Keep making great work! This video was fabulous.
I hope they continue this line though. There are some relatively easy improvements that they could make (the cameras, the speaker), and in my opinion, the design is rather stylish. If anything, the Z Flip is a bit too minimalist. And while Lenovo should be able to do better than this in 2020, let's have some perspective: people in 2004 would bite off your hand for this.
Sadly I think it will be. The race to the bottom for tech reviewers to overblown every little thing so they can be the tech reviewer whos is hypelinked as the one who takes down a hyped product was in hperdrive and to couple that with lazy reviewers who are just parroting one hate train comments and everyone running with it. I'm finding more independant voices and more honest voices in the lesser known RUclipsrs. We are in a bad situation with mainstream reviewers and RUclipsrs. It remeinds of the Sinclair broadcasting issue a couple of years ago.
You're still the MVP when it comes to reviews! Also, can you do more midranger phones? i know it's a huge undertaking considering how good/many of them are currently out.
The engineering to reduce the crease on the display is just amazing. The hinge in the Z Flip is amazingly engineered too, but the Moto's way almost solves the crease problem. Next time, I hope they find a way to reduce the gaps.
The laser solved the wrinkles, but it caused a corresponding decrease in the durability of the hinge and the problem of space between the display and the hinge when opening and closing the smartphone. The problem is a very serious risk and time bomb. The bomb will explode in less than a year.
Set aside the phone, your reviews are more interesting, and feel more personal.If I ever Unsubscribe from the tech channels, I won't be form yours, Keep it Up Mr Mobile!!
@Eragor the Kindhearted if i care about all of this i should buy a regular flat phone not a folding one .. the razer phone is more stylish and inovative
@@laserbeam3836 How is the RAZR more innovative? The Z can do everything the RAZR can while also having a rigid hinge. The external display is the only thing that the RAZR is better at. Also, style is subjective and I know some people will prefer the more premium feeling glass on the Z
@@saln1296 actually less crease with the Razr, nicer looking design, slimmer and the external display is way more useful, and will get even more useful with Android 10.
I've seen so many reviews of this phone from other youtubers, I'm no longer interested seeing another one BUT then comes my man's MrMobile review and it's by far the best one on the 'tube. Enjoyed every little bit of it.
@@TheMrMobile A review you once did on the Moto X Pure and then the Moto Z Play inspired me to grab those handsets. They are still a couple of my most favorites in my collection. And yes. Those gestures, still way better than most on the market today!
Dude, you're the BEST reviewer out there imo and do it with style which I love..I always look forward to whatever it is you'll review..I don't understand why you're not at 15+million subs yet while others that have boring reviews are.. RUclips is a funny place I guess.. Keep up the great work.. Peace..
Truly great review! For some reason all RUclips reviewers have completely stop talking about how the skin is in detail and focus only on hardware and OEM mentioned software highlights. Please talk more about software which is what is used daily.
Despite the Razr's seemingly outdated specs, I don't believe it's all about specs even in this case. Even with it being a $1500 device, it's about pushing this new form factor forward, backed by nostalgia. It's about showing Motorola can box with the big boys in terms of innovation and a willingness to create a wild new catagory of smartphones in a market that has largely stagnated. I'm excited for it and I'll be buying one shortly once I get the Z flip as well. I've been drawn in by the nostalgia and in that regard Motorola NAILED it.
@@Larroseba I'm excited to get my hands on the RAZR. It was never meant to be a mass market phone or a spec junkies dream, it's a showcase of what Motorola can do, Bd regardless of what anyone thinks it *is* impressive
This guy is so reasonable in his reviews... Some reviewers make such a drama... Like everyday someone would put his finger under the display gap or something like that...
Still waiting for your quick recovery from weakness. Voice still seems to be different to me. Anyway I can easily say the most valued RUclipsr has come up with another excellent video.
I am using it for the last 2 weeks and I am in love with it. More than enough although I have the Samsung Fold....this is my primary phone due to its size. Next version with better camera will be great...still Loving it
That Darude-Sandstorm pun.. I did not see that one coming! Its small details like that which make you stand out, and make me love your reviews! Apart from the catchy design and clever implementations of yourself and environment. Keep it up!!!
The thing about the Razr is that it was pretty easy to get away with lackluster specs back in 2004 when a cell phone's primary job was to make calls away from home; the general public cared mostly about design and decent call quality. Nowadays, phones are expected to do so much more. True, most people won't care about a wide angle lens or a 90 hertz display, but since the average person's phone is their main camera and computing device, they will care about good quality pictures and a frustration-free user experience. I just really can't see this selling well long term because of that.
Michael...man your videos are an absolute joy to watch and a work of art with your visuals but also your play on words! @3:23 "where it follows the formula of its forebear too closely" Wow...that line just had me so impressed with the effort you put into these things. And i'm so glad you have your voice back, please don't ever stop making these videos
Thank You Michael AGAIN! Re-Viewed as Re-Quested!! I can keep watching this one because I had both of the originals, and will Never, Ever, be having this one! Your post didn't put me off (but it helped re-inforce my view) - if you could just jump Back to the Future for us to show what that fold will look like after 18-24 months daily use, I'd be most grateful. You also remind us here of what the "old normal" looked like, out in the streets, and events, with people!! Stay Safe and Mobile my friend 😉
I absolutely love your reviews, I’ve been a fan since pocketnow and I’ve always trusted your reviews and opinions. Keep doing the good work. Thank you.
I have been around the mobile phone space since the bag phone era...that aside, these (RAZR and Z Flip) new takes on the flip phone are incredible especially how they both try to solve the underlying how to fold the screen issue with totally different takes. I am sure future versions will iterate on thier respective versions but it will be many years before there is a standard methodology. Thanks for the review as always...stay mobile. ;)
Congratulations Mr.Mobile for 1M subscribers. I choosing Motorola RAZR because I am Motorola fan like you. I like the folding display .That idea of preparing folding display. And brand motorola is attracting me. All the best for 5M subscribers. Thank you.
Why did you keep the music playing in the background so long? Distracted from what you were saying but I love your reviews and your editing ability. Keep up the good work
I have a strict budget of $500 for new phone or less. Hopefully in the next 2-3 years, if foldable phones catch on and they become more affordable, that's when I might pick one up.
well i've had my razr now for exactly a year. and i've had not one single issue. havnt even been tempted to update it to the new model. love it no dramas at all.
MR mobile has a way with words man... smooth as hell with these reviews. Yes though, i agree, the razr is basically a fashionable but i love it for that . i really do like my razr. just praying they give it some TLC with the updates...
FINALLY figured out what the new RAZR reminded me of - the LG Lotus! I wanted one so bad, much more than I ever wanted the original RAZRs, but I don't think they were even available in Sweden at the time. Oh, how I miss physical keyboards...
Another brilliant review. This phone is so cool, even though it's a bit weaker than others, the whole retro thing just catches my eye, but damn that samsung flip z looks so freaking cool BUT I won't be getting any of these folding phones with how expensive they are.
I REALLY like your personal take on phones, and how you like the individuality of it all. I always liked the oddballs, my last oddball was the BB Priv and it was always a party piece despite compromising on the daily use. So I am also buying this one, not this one, the late one... But anyhow, Thanks for your perspective man! @MrMobile
I remember when everyone used to have RAZRs, I had a thing for Nokia's. Much snappier and cleaner interface. Mine even had a button that would flip the screen up due to the springed hinge.
The problem with having a 2 year old chipset ISN'T that it feels laggy out of the box. It's more an issue with longevity. If I buy a phone for $1.5k, I expect it to be usable for at least 3 years, and with a 2 year old processor, that may be a problem.
What you said about processors is gold stuff that almost no one else says. It's a clear example of "power is nothing without control". My Pixel 3a has an outdated processor, but after almost a year it hasn't slowed down a bit, neither has it shown any stutter. Top notch processors are overkill sometimes: so much power put in phones that are badly optimized, resulting in heating and bad battery performance.
Your storytelling ability throughout all your reviews is truly inspiring and what makes you stand out against all the other "youtuber" journalists. Keep making great work! This video was fabulous.
Thanks very much, Dave!
I agree. Feels like im watching a short film.
You said it rightly.
Exactly. Which is why I always watch Mr Mobile's video even if I'm not in the least interested in the product he reviews.
This guy is the best out there bar none..
You can always tell which reviewers are truly enthusiastic about tech
I hope they continue this line though. There are some relatively easy improvements that they could make (the cameras, the speaker), and in my opinion, the design is rather stylish. If anything, the Z Flip is a bit too minimalist.
And while Lenovo should be able to do better than this in 2020, let's have some perspective: people in 2004 would bite off your hand for this.
100% agree with all of this.

I folded my wallet when I heard the hinge sound.
I could genuinely hear the sadness in his voice.
Made me feel bad for the razr.

Oh man do they EVER
Nokia made one long ago but I don't think it was ever actually sold.
Do you mean exact design or Razr design with just sound effects?
I hadn't expected you to be this brutally honest on this review, I thought nostalgia would kick in. But you delivered. Kudos
the only thing I like on the razr more is the design, way more sleek instead of like a clam like the Z. But in every other aspect, the Z is way better
and its smaller and have a bigger
external display ..
