[INTO THE FOLD EPISODE 8: MRMOBILE’S GALAXY Z FLIP 5G & MOTOROLA RAZR 5G LONG-TERM REVIEW]
When I first put on the MrMobile vest in 2016, I could never have predicted that by the end of the decade, the flip-top future tech I coveted as a kid would warp from novelty into fully-usable smartphones.
Since I bought the first Samsung Galaxy Fold in January 2020, I have exclusively carried foldables as my personal phones. Today my daily carry includes a Samsung Galaxy Fold 2 for weekdays, stepping down to the smaller Galaxy Z Flip and Motorola Razr 5G on weekends. And over time I’ve noticed a funny thing: while I can get more work done on phones like the Fold 2, I find the flips so convenient, so … fun ... that even during the week I sometimes slip one of these into my side pocket instead of the Fold.
So as we approach a second summer of Folds and Flips, I want to share my experience from the past year of actually using flip phones in our modern era: from nostalgic whimsy to screen-splitting heartbreak. I’m Michael Fisher and this is your Galaxy Z Flip 5G and Motorola Razr 5G long-term review.

I have the z flip, last month a bunch of outta state family members came for an event. My cousin was like, SHOW EVERYONE YOUR PHONE, cause ya'know it's so cool. So in a restaurant with 15+ people looking down to the end of the table where I was sitting, I stood up and held up my phone and then I shut it... and the entire table went crazy, like I did an amazing magic trick!! It was the funniest memorable moment of the weekend. None of those people knew they made foldable smart phones. I'm in my forties and this woman loves it! Ever since smart phones came out I've been wishing for a foldable phone... I manifested that shit lol.

These last few years where boring everbody played it save. I now have my Galaxy Z Flip for more then a year and will even wait for next years iteration. I love the phone, not the best camera, battery or screen brightness. But it's a phone with character which I treat like my infant child. Love these series, keep up the great content!

I've had the Razr 2019 since January, and I'm still as in love with it as I was on day one. The inner selfie camera is cloudy from dust and pocket lint, but that's the only real issue I've had with it so far. Battery life isn't anything to write home about, the screen does indeed stay a little dimmer in sunlight than I'd like, but it's honestly been such a fun experience for me that I absolutely know my next phone will also be a foldable

I truly appreciate your continued coverage on foldables, and long term ones at that. I personally own a Z Flip, and it's the most fun I've with a phone in such a long time, while providing tangible benefits like incredible portability and genuine fun every time I open and close the thing. While it's really not a standout when it comes to specs, sometimes you don't really need the best specs to have a great experience, and the Z Flip made me get that. And I appreciate your coverage on durability as well. While I've no issues with mine, I've seen plenty of people who did, so it's nice to see you cover it in more detail. You're my favorite tech content creator for a reason! (And the intro bit where you showed one of your first vids really sent me back to 2016 when I first found your channel with your very first video, and smiled with joy to see you back on RU-vid.

And I'm a little worried about what am i gonna do when i have to change or update my phone. I love this phone so much i have i even think about getting another one, just exactly the same! I used to have a "sony ericsson z710i" back in the days when phones were fun! Unfortunately that phone "got lost" one day...

I heard a great example once comparing Foldables to Exotic cars. Exotic Cars have amazing features, but aren't as reliable or price conscious as a Daily Driver. Those complaints stop the average car buyer stop themselves from buying strange cars, and those same complaints make average phone buyers delegate foldables as something for Tech people, just like how certain cars are just for car people.

I saw a poll (US) that only 10% of smartphone users would consider spending $1,000 or more on a phone. Right now it looks like the fold will be $1,800 and the flip will be $11 or $1, 200. so we got to be at least 2 years away from mainstream acceptability.

Amazing video ! Still learning things like the heat or brightness problem, and still amazed by the size of these devices in a pocket, and how easy it is to take a stable photo with the Z flip. But not only does the screen use bother me, but I also know that the manufacturing of foldables demands a lot of energy and ressources due to their complexity, which scares me

Just wanted to say that your video series convinced me to buy a Razr 5G! I am more careful with it compared to other phones and I use my old S10 as a home-only media consumption phone. But I still get giddy whenever I use my Razr. Thanks for treading the waters on this new style of phones .

Can someone talk to nokia to bring back old phone designs but with better performance, same of todays phones. A bit bigger screens. Today's smart phones are only exciting in commercials and after acquiring one you can feel right away the dullness and boredom even your consciousness tells you that you're holding a powerful computing machine .

Nokia released the 3310 (2017) which has a similar design to the original Nokia. It does have a color display and a camera

Love the music addition that runs 10.40- 12 . Whoever is doing that job, is doing great. It blended so perfectly with your voice, Micheal. Again, a big applause for your entire team who runs production and execution of such tiny details. Cheers 🍻

In the era of phones getting boring with the slab form factor, I would love this flip foldable to be better and get mainstream, even though I've never used a flip phone myself. I'm just so done with those blocky giant phones. But when they are still expensive, questionable durability, and hard to repair, I won't be getting one so soon.

I have been using a RAZR 5G in Canada (yea, I had to special order it as it's not for sale here) for a few weeks now. After using it and optimizing how things run, I can generally get a full day (6am till 9 or 10pm) of usage using everything from navigation to Facebook etc throughout the day. I too enjoy getting the occasional person asking what kind of phone I'm using and many people are often amazed. Can definitely say the camera is pretty decent, not quite top level but more than acceptable for my regular usage. Overall I'd say it's my favorite phone that I find myself carrying more than my iPhone 12.

I see this only as a fad. It will quickly die unless there's huge price decreases and more reliable screen parts. Until then people are going to stick with their traditional candy bar phones.

Awesome video as always and thanks for making one on foldables. I'm old enough to have had several over the years and I REALLY hope they return as great products after these, let's be honest, shortcomings. But shortcomings aside, they look amazing... 😄 👍

I miss flip phones too! Since Blackberry is pretty much dead (we're likely never getting the new version), as the prices start to come down, tech becomes more reliable and there mid-range options (not all of us need or care for flagships), I think they'll become more popular. Good video btw.

The nostalgia factor is huge for me too. That’s why I’m keeping my iPhone 12 Pro Max and adding the Galaxy flip 3 to my stable. Can’t wait for the event in an hour!!

I actually got the Z Flip 5G back in December (thanks to this channel which I found looking through reviews of the thing and I've stuck around, love the content) and it's a shame that I have gotten slightly annoyed by the amount of compliments that I get when using it. Sometimes I just want to enjoy my lunch breaks without someone new coming up and asking me what phone I have. I still get joy from the people who's eyes light up and they point at it and asking what kind of phone it is when I'm doing anything else, though. The only thing I worry about now is the amount of users getting that wear and tear on the center of the phone. Other than that, I still love it.

I picked up a gen2 razr 5g in the same color you have for just shy of 100 bucks and I love this phone! Sure it's not the fastest but it's pretty quick for just about everything I do and I love the hinge so much
