Ok so this is my take on the RZR 5G. Right now samsung and apple pretty much run the cell phone market. Motorola not so much but people tend to forget that motorola made the first cellphones such as the star tac and Razor. whats so special about apple? Or samsung? This phone may not be for everyone. If you want a portable phone that works for the most common things the RZR is perfect. If you want a phone for gaming and watching youtube videos all day long is best to stay away. for 500.00 at T mobile this phone is a steal. I had the RZR 5G returned it for the flip 3 because I believed some of the hype and guess what? I miss the RZR because its a much nicer phone and quality is exceptional. Yes people talk about terrible screens and damaged pixels but lets not forget that people take care of their phones differently. I have never dropped a phone in my life yet a co worker does it all the time. Get the RZR and save 500.00 because until samsung can figure out how to make a working outer screen and be able to respond to texts motorola has the edge. And yes the flip 3 has better specs on paper but lets not forget that the RZR is a year old vs the flip. Imagine what Motorola has up their sleeves.

Now down to to $199.00 brand new at T-Mobile with a new line. Snapped mine up. I do appreciate that you changed your mind. Bottom line, though, is that whatever you think about it now, it took a thousand dollar price drop before you bit, unlike your Z Flip 5G purchase. And that says everything, unfortunately, that both Samsung and Motorola need to hear. Nice vid, though. You got my sub.

[@PSYCHOV3N0M]

I wouldn't talk crap about ANY crease if I were you for multiple reasons: 1. The Razr 5G and the Huawei Mate X2 have AT LEAST TWO OR MORE CREASES because of the zero gap design that they use. Samsung is too smart to use that method. 2. The crease on any foldable phone ISN'T visible under normal usage. Nobody with a working brain uses their phone, tablet, laptop, etc with indoor lighting or outdoor sunlight shining directly on the screen. 3. The act of folding (which is different than bending) a thin material produces a crease. We can't defy the laws of physics. P.s. It's Razr. NOT Razor.

[@wurlinnawurl]

@@PSYCHOV3N0M I shouldn't say crease.. I mean large dip in the middle.. That is just what people call it.. razr only had faint lines but no big dip is what I mean.. and no, that is not smart to have that.. razr is perfectly flat the whole screen.. it is not about it it is visible, it is about a dip that messes you up if you are drawing, or writing, or anything really..

And the razr 5g the screen doesn’t crack unlike the flip 3. Motorola does something with their software and components. The phones run nice and perform great with not having the best specs. Like the moto one ace 5g that phone is actually a beast it performs better then the one plus n10 5g. And that says a lot. So yeah. And same with other phones. Like the G7 was good too for what it had. I noticed that with a lot of moto phones they are cheaper well not the razr but in general and the phones normally perform close to flagship most of the time. Like the one ace 5g legit is fast and feels good and is not flagship level but using it doesn’t make u feel like u have a really inferior product. The razr 5g has one advantage no screen breakage what the z flip 3 has. So take that for what it is worth.

[@cindyr7407]

It goes to show that you don't need high-end components if you can optimize Android to run on it. Plus, Motorola phones are known to work for several of years before it finally starts to slow down, unlike Samsung which tend to slow down their devices to a crawl after 3-4 updates. Samsung wasn't that way 7 years ago, but they sadly followed Apple's greedy path.

Once Android updated, back to Mint until next year for Android 12. If anyone knows how to bypass carrier services to receive updates please let me know.

How's battery life

[@TechOdyssey]

I’m getting about 4 hrs max SoT at 5-10% battery left. Not great but if you don’t use it heavily sim get you through a day. Depends on how hard you are on your phone and what your average screen on time looks like

[@Oriolus1]

@@TechOdyssey hello really appreciate your testimony thank you.but i have to say what I don't like about this phone is using mono speaker plus just a single speaker output.motorola should put dual stereo speaker instead

[@TechOdyssey]

@@Oriolus1 I don’t like the placement because I’m always accidentally covering it up. Also though I understand why they didn’t add a second. Even the Z Flip only has one speaker and at first I thought that was odd for bingo such an expensive and premium phone, but then you look at the size of the battery and the battery life. Adding a second speaker would further drain the battery on a phone that’s already not that great. It doesn’t seem like much but it would. So, I’m on with it until they can find a way to get a larger battery/better battery life.

@@TechOdyssey yeah motorola should put front firing speaker instead.

@@TechOdyssey does z flip have stereo speaker?

Can you use your KZbin powers to influence some ppl to make custom skins and more case options? Great phone. Ive enjoyed my 1 week with it thus far. Pretty sure we got it from the same ebay seller😜

[@thebethavonlady]

I had the razor. And then switch to the flip 3. I went back to the razr. The razr was way better for me than the flip.

[@phatthesaigonese7947]

What are things that you determine the razr is better than the flip? I’m curious.

[@rolltide1262]

I did the same! I had the RZR the switched to the Flip 3 back to the RZR. For me the 500.00 price tag and the outer screen make it worth it. Why have an outer screen that you cant even use to send or respond to a simple message? Having to open a 6.7 screen every time to respond to a message is cumbersome and might as well carry a brick phone

[@levong2935]

I think the biggest difference at the end of the day is the trade-in value. Samsung will have higher trade-in from Samsung, Amazon or even the carriers. It's unfortunate because higher trade-in doesn't mean a better device.

[@giuliaklara]

I just got it... But it heats up a lot... In 5 minutes... ? Is this ok?

[@TechOdyssey]

Give it a few days to settle down. That's normal.

[@giuliaklara]

@@TechOdyssey thank you! I also cannot transfer anything from my other phone :( I have an iphone and Samsung. It only allows somehow just one app by one? Thank you for your response 😊

[@stephenminton177]

How/where did you find one for 300$?

[@gingerbreadzak]

Any one know the song in the intro?? At around 1:37

[@TechOdyssey]

Honestly I don't know. It was a random one I liked that I picked when I made the intro on a website. Place.it

[@rampagephoenix1735]

I cant wait to see the day when i could have a foldable and stylish smartphone like this thats powerful enough to be compatible with its own version of Apple Glass.
