RAZR+ Impressions: Is This What You Wanted? 

Ok

Uhuh ye

Tbh i think everyone knew they wanted a bigger screen outside

Yea

how so bro all they did was oh wait yeah

FR it's perfect 🔥

What is the soundtrack name? Can anyone please help?

This phone is it. Never going back 🎉

exactlymy train of thought. always wanted a folding phone ever since they came out, but didn't see myself paying the price (especially not for the rellatively aweful specs) and now I got used to the Pixel Phone interface. Really excited to see where this is going and maybe in 3-4 years when I buy myself a new phone, it'll be like the Motorola shown here

This is great!

Google is a disaster with their devices for the past few yrs. Garbage customer service, garbage quality control, buggy software, etc..lazy they are.

YES! Or Bring Back The IPhone 5 Size ( PLEASE OMG )

That’s why i have my mini. If they never bring back the small sizes, I’ll switch to this phone

@@alexmartinelli6231 thank u so much bro

@@alexmartinelli6231 i listened to it...sounds very different....i was talking about intro soundtrack....

THIS!!! ☝️☝️☝️

Genuine question- how? I don’t own one but to me it seems pointless because you can just open the phone 😂 I mean I like the camera application of the outside display but that’s pretty extra

​@@brendanfishh2576 here's a real question - have you seen women's pockets?

@@brendanfishh2576 Also, one cant recognize the utility until one accesses its functions. Reaallly back in times we thought what would even a phone do when t9 phones were a thing, then Qwerty, then touch screen ones....and now, most of us are inseparable from it. Coming back to the point, it seems pointless to have the 2nd screen because its use isnt mass realized as of yet, after which it becomes a daily must have or good to have.

@@TheGrifhinx How does that relate to the screen? Also I don't think that they made this phone purely for women who wear pants with small pockets, they made this phone for as many people as possible.

Yeah love the gestures feature

And surprisingly really bad software updates speed takes a year or two

​@@damienrahul80085and also one of the worst if not the worst warranties

​@@damienrahul80085and usually a pretty terrible camera. I love moto's ideas but they typically lack follow through

​@@ezze-does-itthe last razr had a good camera from what most reviews say

Same - our whole studio's sold 😛

its like an old style mp3-player merged with phone, i can see myself using that

What do you mean, the big screen? This has a normal sized screen and a small screen.

Why would you put that over normal phone ? I can understand horizontal folding phones since they transform into tablet.. but this .. this is useless

Agreed. I'll definitely be looking at purchasing this one!

You mean how you can already do with your normal phone 🤔😂

This is exactly the reason why I wouldn't buy this phone. The primary reason I would want to buy a flip phone would be to avoid distractions and stop having so many 'quick looks' in my life.

@@danthemaninapan but you have the option here to not put distractions on the screen. Just notis and maybe the Spotify player

“Notis”

*notice

Yeaaah

I have to say it just looks so interesting and I can imagine on a long flight having it propped up like that or connecting it to your computer to show notification

Bot ass comment .

This

“Even if it’s not what people wanted”. No. You don’t give credit for people wasting time and not providing consumers with what they wanted

It's probably the most compelling feature of the folding phones in general. Most people I show my Fold 4 to are impressed by the folding but they're amazed by the ability to show the subject what's being taken in the photograph - your partner will love the ability to adjust themselves using the built-in preview.

The selling point tbh.

It looks just like the Galaxy Z Flip, with a large outer screen.

@@SuperBoop Huh. I wonder if they’re both flip phones, or something. Kinda crazy.

But you don’t need to open a normal phone to do ANY task.

​@@oggyoggy1299... and if that is what someone wants, they won't buy this. Different strokes.

you can also do that everything you mentioned on your phone lockscreen too

@@rishikumar-di4ce I guess the navigation is pretty cool. Being able to walk in a new area without having the big screen drawing more power is nice

​@@oggyoggy1299 I'm down for smaller tech personally 😊

I could've seen LG trying this 😢.. I miss my V10 plus

A htc flip wouldve been amazing, rip you quietly brilliant thing.

LG would've killed it, period! Imagine features like palm unlock and knock code on outer screen, freakin' cool! right?

Most of my cellphones have been LG including the ones before I got a smartphone except 1.

When I heard P OLED, I thought of LGs old flagships

But why would that be better than just a normal phone

@@toptiertech7291 It seems like the compactness of the folded state is the whole reason for any folded phone. If that doesn’t stand out for you then there’s nothing to see in this whole category.

Totally onboard with you on this! I'd also like to add that Reviewers have been roasting companies using outer display for nothing and asking to increase its usability and then comes motorola with a super sized fully usable outer display and it suddenly pushes reviewers to ask stupid questions like "Do people even want that". Man you were roasting them for not making it usable. Now they have. Chill with the hypocrisy

@@toptiertech7291 Because people like stuff that's unique. Also, form factor might be something people are looking for

​​@@1llixir nah that's what the world has come to bitching complaining bitching complaining. Did I mention bitching? I stay pretty much firmly away from all the toxicity that reviewer and influencer bring to the table. Unfortunately our society isn't smart enough to do the but rather likes to get sucked in to all bs and agenda shit and such. I find the out display pretty cool but also i probably wouldn't get it it means more worrying. I like the only small one because less to crack on the outside and the battery has to power a huge screen inside and this one outside plus that not needed 165 hrz outher and inner displays will make the battery take a bigger hit even. And from what he has shown it isn't the most smoothes phones to power that it needs the best chip available.

I miss LG so bad.😢 My absolute all time favorite phone was the LG V10.

What is the soundtrack name? Can anyone please help?

@@DemonSlayer-vh8uy darude - sandstorm

​@@mohdalnaqbi it doesn't sound like this song...

​@@mohdalnaqbiI see ,a man of culture.

As a Flip4 owner I agree I'll wait for the Flip5 to come out then decide between the two phones

Unless Samsung up their front screen game

As a Flip3 owner I also agree, hoping Flip5 has similar functionality else this will likely be my upgrade.

or they could make it like the original razr and have it be a thin top thats openable with one hand,

Yes, one of the design flaws of the Galaxy Flip was a too-small external display. It was crazy that Samsung knew this yet decided to slowly increase its size to draw out its monopoly. RAZR gets that it is the whole point of flip phones; you do not have to open the flip whenever you want to interact.

Did you happen to get a screen protector for the front of the phone too? I'm looking to switch from apple and would love to get this one soon

​@@honeydeezI bought an outer screen protector. That extra layer of protection helps me feel better even though it is pretty solid without it

Switching from an iPhone to this !! Now that you’ve had it for a couple of months does it still live up? - I’ve heard screen issues but…i never know if it’s ppl just being … ppl

@@hanovem4 It's been some time now that I have been using razr pro. At first few weeks I did had a problem with few apps like snapchat, tiktok on outher screen, but I guess motorola has been working on it, and it's been around 3-4 months now that every app has been working perfectly fine. I did get this phone because of the outside screen so I'm glad it all got fixed quickly. Camera quality is not the best in dark, but its great in light, love it for selfies at x0.5. Battery life for myself is great, I go trough the day without a problem, but I have to charge it every night (kinda normal nowdays even tho my last phone motrola edge plus lasted me for 2-3 days lol), I'm mostly using outside screen so I can't tell how long you can go if you use only inside screen but I can tell you that my outside screen lasts longer than my sister's iphone 14pro. I have dropped it few times and my cat has pushed it from the tall table few times and it has no scratch, I do use the case that came with a phone and have a plastic screen protector for outside screen. All I have to say about the phone is if you are looking for a change, something more fun than a regular phone, and you've been waiting some time for flip phones to develop, this is definitlly the best it can be, very fun to use, people always comment about it, asks to open, hold it lol. It made my phone experience very fun to use and I don't think I will ever go to reglar/brick phone back. tip if you get this phone that I use everyday: double shake to turn on the flash lite, and flip the phone to turn on the camera, works every time, motorola has that for long time

How is the camera quality?

But why is that better than doing it on a normal phone that has better specs for less money?

@@toptiertech7291 It would lead me to do less doom scrolling and sometimes you don't want to open a full 7" screen to reply to something or change a song. Plus the added benefits of screen being able to be used as a viewfinder for photos and general conveniences of a smaller form factor in people's pockets or purses.

Or you could get a smartwatch and do all of that without even taking the phone out of your pocket

​@@vedantbhutra1118 typing on a smart watch?

​@@vedantbhutra1118 yea but then you have the inconvenience of having to care for an entirely separate device. Its own charger, own plug on the wall, its own accessories... carrying all that and the watch itself along with your phone and its accessories is not ideal. Going on business trips while worrying about bringing a watch charger is quite dumb

You could also quickly check messages/change track on a regular phone without having to unfold?

@@dan45far Yeah but this is way easier and handy

Exactly, what is the point of such flip phones ? The only thing I can see is that it is a bit smaller in the pocket but thicker.

@@erkinsagroglu8519 how so?

@@dan45far Because it is smaller and less bulky should be easier to pick up from your pocket or find somewhere to put etc. You know even though iphones got much bigger after 6 plus there are actually people prefer the comfort of the iphone 5 size for the same reasons. I think the main point of having a big screen in the first place is to improve the way to consume media contents or games which small phones can provide in a limited way but in this case we have both.

Personaly imma wait until the reveal of the s flip 5 to compare the two since from the leaks and what we know it seems like the Motorola razor is just a inferior (spec wise) to the flip 5

​@@MunchnYaoh baby boy 😂

At that point why not just get a regular phone? The purpose of a flip phone is for it to flip open

Same here. Hopefully it's more durable because the only thing keeping me away from foldables is the self cracking crease on Samsung's

@@VoidedMedia Perhaps if you think of it as you’re opening the flip phone to increase your level of productivity… Kinda like a book-style folding phone. Maybe we can think of this as the same thing, but just vertical instead of horizontal. 😄

@@AtomicSymphonic I just don't see the point. Just buy a bigger folding phone then. I fail to see any practical need for this device

@@VoidedMedia the purpose of a flip phone is to have a full sized phone in your pocket at half the area.. That is all.

I know right?! They have a nostalgia factor. I remember the untimely modern design of motorolla flip devices, and I wonder if this is the same. If you looked at one of their old devices today it really still looks sharp and cutting edge modern

What is that design you talk about? All I see is another Samsung Flip but with an M...and I'm actually a little bit bummed by that.

@@disguisedcat1750 100% agree. The original Razr still looks dope. Do you remember how thin that thing was when you opened it? And the beautiful aluminium body, with that little chin part that held the microphone and stuff at the bottom? And then the really cool look of the buttons when you opened it up too. That was so nice at the time. Nothing was as premium looking in comparison IMO. This was a time when Nokia was still extremely popular, and weren’t making very bold designs like this. Also, the Razr V3 actually had iTunes built in too. Like 4-5 years before they would release the iPhone. A lot of people watching this video might be too young to remember how cool it was back then.

@@ojeritoayala Well there’s not a lot you can do with it, because of the space limitations that you have, but I was talking about the flip design, with the screen on the outside with cameras above it, and the big round Motorola logo on the back, just like the Razr V3i. Also, you gotta remember that the Razr is the best selling clamshell design of all time. The design Samsung is using with their clamshell/flip phone today, was popularised first by Motorola back in 2003-2006.

@Christ Is The Truth the outside screen is at least real glass

​@@0XiC My friend's 2020 Razr 5G is STILL working perfectly fine with its PLASTIC foldable display. Meanwhile, I see a TON of Galaxy Z Flip and Z Folds with CRACKED displays because of ultra thin glass. Plastic > Ultra Thin Glass.

​@@PSYCHOV3N0MI agree. I wish more of the Plastic phones came to North America. UTG is not my preference

​​@@PSYCHOV3N0M honestly using glass is kinda pointless if the glass itself have pretty much 0 durability like in Samsung flip phones with ultra thin glass, heck UTG barely qualifies as glass if not for the fact that its still brittle and can crack. Might as well be like Motorola and go with full on plastic display for the inside screen.

or you know... just use a normal slab phone, and buy a smaller one

Yes 💯

LOL Tell us more

and also reduces wear on the screen from having to constantly open and close the phone often. that's a major deal. Not a bad feature at all

I think you work for Motorola R&D 😂😂

Stop it

I was gonna say the same thing. So creative.

@@jahjoeka bruh y the hate?

What’s a pager?

What is the soundtrack name? Can anyone please help?

Compact*

so apparently, making it more compact is more convenient to you than flipping the phone every time you use it.

No it doesn't:/

Does it? Literally the whole video is "this phone is great because it has a 4" screen". Like... what? Normal phones aren't that big that a folding phone size makes it a selling point. Literally the only thing that would make me buy one is having it like at least 5,5" while folder and bigger when open. So you can text and do quick stuff, and only open for media consumption.

My problem with most large phones is that they often aren’t very pocketable. Having a phone that folds like this does make things more convenient. You can have a phone with a large screen, and pocket it too.

Debating this as well. What made you choose this over the 2024??

@@milehighyt2097 Because it was at a discounted price of only $90 on AT&T with a 2 year contract.

How do you like it now?

I agree! It's very customizable. I can definitely see myself getting this one. I currently have a OnePlus 7 pro, which I still love and works flawlessly.

MKBHD now criticizes every Android phone, even when it's perfect. Watch this review closely, and you'll note that he actually didn't point out a single negative feature of the device. But his word choices leave you feeling like it's flawed and he doesn't recommend it. He even called the game "gimicky". How?!

​@@keneokpareke1753The design is ugly.

sorry for anyone with the hype about the large cover display. Snap 8+ Gen 1 and 3800 mAh battery is a perfect combo for constant charging aka ip 12 mini life

No, I believe that is suck.

What other look is it supposed to have? How many different ways can you make a flip phone look? Also last time I checked the z flip didn't have a full screen on the outer shell so wtf are you talking about?

@Eikott lol. You ok?

@@EikottXD He meant the upcoming Z Flip 5. It looks the exact same with just a slioghtly smaller screen

I think this is incredibly useful for spotify, sometimes I just want to see what song is playing and skip a few songs or maybe add it to my liked songs, I could do all that on the smaller screen without unlocking it

This is for music lovers and people who consume podcasts on youtube. If they're showing somehting on camera or I wanna go back to look at a reaction I don't wanna ope the whole thing.

I can do that with normal phones. I keep important apps outside the app drawer. Some smartphones can make apps completely disappear from launchers.

You could also just use a smart watch instead. I don't think it needs a big screen on the outside. It needs a durable screen on the inside. If it's big enough for some basic features like read messages and show notifications it's enough. If you're gonna do more than that, you can flip the phone open.

Yeah. Just control ourselves when we set it up is all we need to do. I like this phone.

Mine arrives today from EE (UK)

@@JRWilson242 noice!!!! Pls share your first impressions!

@@radlink14 I've got it and oh my god is it AMAZING!! The external display is so handy and works perfectly with almost every app. The display is tall but gorgeous, so clear. Performance is so smooth, no lag at all. Battery life I can't get comment on, but I know it'll be better than other foldables and hopefully get me 5 - 6 hours. Honestly, it's worth every penny!

@@JRWilson242 amazing thanks so much for the quick insights. Do you recall if they did any trade ins?

@@radlink14 depending on your region they do yeah, we can claim a free Lenovo Tab M10 with ours too

I feel you can’t really get sucked in on a screen that small. I mean, watching a TikTok/Short/Reels/whatever would SUCK, reading Twitter would suck, Instagram would probably be very broken, RU-vid videos are probably fine, but text would be itty bitty.

I totally agree. I would love to test this and see if it would affect my screen time. My theory is that I think the bigger outside screen would make me use my phone less and only flip it open when I needed to do tasks that would require some time.

The immense outside functionality is making me wonder if Motorola is banking on a potential demand for "half-sized" phones.

@@mandzph my thoughts exactly!! This could be the start of a new era.

I have a flip 3.. I kinda want to get this Razr+ though holy shit... It's literally what I wanted in the first place.

I have a framework waiting on the AMD Ryzen 7 mainboards so i can switch over and get some better specs and game rocksolid on 1440p 120fps about any game maybe higher cant wait its the best Buy ever framework needs to go places

yeah man exactly my feeling

What is the soundtrack name? Can anyone please help?

I don't. It's purposeless innovation designed to fuel the merciless capitalist system. It needs to stop

Go with the razr this year basically the only upgrade is the bigger cover screen even still razrs cover screen is bigger

Can't wait for apple to release a foldable in 4 years as if its a brand-new concept for close to 2 grand lmao

Just wait for z flip 5

What’s even the point of having a folding phone if you’re just gonna use it closed anyway. I feel like you’re making a compromise using a half sized screen majority of the time, but still paying double. Not trying to shit on you, just trying to understand the point/appeal of these new folding phones in general.

The screen is too tall. Using pretty much any third-party app on this thing will be a pain.

@@andrewr_ z flip 3-4 owner: it’s still the fact that you can see if you need to open your phone for something or if it’s just an expensive notification. if you still get lost, you get tired of using the outer display because it still isn’t big enough to comfortably watch stuff and come back to the realization that you weren’t supposed to be on it anyways.

Please wait for the Samsung Flip 5. I switched from using the Flip 3 to the Motorola Edge 30 because I disliked Samsung's UI consistency... Sigh, I'm constantly experiencing app crashes, freezing, and slow software updates. Their software is difficult to use.

I think the future of smartphones will be all of them are flip. Sooo many people lose or drop their smartphones because of them not being flipped.

Right??? Mine feels like walking around with a brick.

This! The idea I can just put this in my pocket shorts pocket while walking my dog or I have to worry about it falling from scrub pockets at (this is how my iPhone glass back shattered) is game changer! I’m going to wait and see what Samsung puts out. But if I get a new phone this year this might be the one I get.

@@giannachacon1846 I honestly had no issues with it besides scratches on the screen. But that can be fixed. It's not as flimsy as an iPhone but it definitely feels like it when you first start using it 🤣

I am with you on this. I choose the Zflip for just the tiniest bit of discression compared to coworkers and large screens. I might enjoy having the larger screen to respond without opening the phone.

Same but personally I would wait for the reveal of the z flip 5 since from the leaks and the things we know about it, it seems like the Motorola razor is an inferior ( spec wise) flip 5. Mostly because the outer screen of the flip 5 is also getting a upgrade similar to the size of the Motorola razor.

exactly!! and if yiu actually want to watch some youtube or take a nice pic you can open it and do it.

@@ac3_d00dle._7 at no point will you ever use the full capacity of the phone so waiting for one with a faster processor is kind of pointless.

Just get a normal phone. You’ll never have to open it.

@@oggyoggy1299 You obviously need to like the aesthetic and the folding gimmick. People are going way too hard on this phone. Since when buying something cause you tink is cool is cause for judgement?

Normal phones have the biggest outside display.

@@mert_ertin And also take up twice the space

​@@jwd0503 It's also the first folding phone I've seen that doesn't seem like a prototype. Like the Samsung ones are polished, but they still kind of scream garage project, but this looks both polished and well thought out.
