Moto Razr+ Week One: Double the screens, double the fun

[@MC-oi2pb]

glad you make your own videos. I remember when you were on Android authority or something like that, and I purposely seek out your videos now that you're independent

[@ninjanerdstudent6937]

Definitely getting this phone. I hope a lot more people get it too. That way the subsequent generations will get cheaper because tech is supposed to always get cheaper.

[@frettystories]

I KNEW there was psychology behind having a flip phone compared to having a regular candy bar type of phone! I KNEW it! One major reason why apple got rid of the home button! I knew it! Dude. I thought I was crazy. I’ve been trying to tell countless people about the psychology behind using the kinds of phones we use nowadays compared to having a flip phone. Thank you SO much for that validation. Thank you!

[@xyzeffect]

I just purchased one last night and I'm very happy with it! Amazing phone so far. Great video as always Josh.

[@Scottydoesntknow6531]

I've had the Razr Plus since 6/21 and I am loving it. The fold in the middle is hardly noticeable wile using. Yes your finger can feel it but it's not intrusive. The way the screen folds into the hinge is cool. The Motorola is nice to come back to. The camera has the Magic Eraser feature I was missing. Apps on the exterior screen are ok, it is nice to read and send messages without opening the phone. There is a feature called Ready For--- It runs the phones software on your Computer or TV. On the TV the phone turns into a wireless remote with cursor or without. You can actually have multiple apps open on the TV, Netflix on the left and messages on the right, or whatever you like. It's pretty cool. This is also the best fingerprint sensor I've used. Anyway, hope this helps a little. I just can't put it down. I have no issues with battery life either.

[@Princeton_James]

I'm hoping to get mine tomorrow. Do you use a screen protector? I hate scratches so I always put one one day 1. I can't find any good ones on Amazon. Are they supposed to cover front and back screens? Thanks.

[@Ppap750]

I heard the crease becomes a bit more noticeable after a few uses. Probably too early to tell but have you noticed this yet?

[@TheUsmc0802]

This is the first phone that I have been excited about in atleast 10 years. Seriously, I wasn’t this excited since the Droid X. Been using an IPhone for 5 years now as just the appliance that it is. The Razr looks fun and exciting.

[@indraprashad7737]

I love the cover screen. Sad that ATT don't have the blue option. It's the one I wanted to get.

[@coxb29]

I think the blue color option is sold out from preorders as I can't find it anywhere.

[@NottyGurlStyle]

Moto is coming in hard! I’m really at a crossroads because I’m serious loving what I’m seeing. I have been using Samsung for a very long time and I love my Flip 4.. I’m curious to see what Samsung will allow you to do with their new product. I’m going to hold out longer before making a decision. I want the comparison videos first… But it s so tempting… I really love the bigger display.

[@Ninnjette-]

I’m the same, I’ve always had either Apple or Samsung. I skipped on the 23 ultra this year, I just pre-ordered the Motorola Razr plus a few days ago. I don’t think I’ve ever had a Motorola, so I’m taking a chance. That is smart though, wait until the end of July to see what the Z flip 5 has.

[@jaskegoffii3968]

I'm in the same boat as well, I have the zflip 4 and reallly want th razr+. But the trade in values on motorola aren't the best and I don't want to be locked to a carrier via their promos. Ughhhh

[@NatashaOliveira6354]

Are you planning to make another video about this phone? I loved how you showed the limitations on Instagram camera, and honestly its really hard finding reviewers who tests 3rd party camera. I would love to see more impressions on this, not only on Instagram, but other apps as well.

[@whatagod_pod]

I should be getting mine tomorrow, I literally can't wait

[@finlaydavies7760]

Great content just one question I've looked at loads of Moto Razr+ videos but none has touched on the Microsoft suite of software such as Notes, To Do, Outlook etc can those be used on the front cover screen? Many thanks Fin

[@stableianF1oracle]

So lucky the cover screen is there as opening the phone is so difficult … I was exhausted after opening it twice in the day

[@phandroid]

I've been loving the phone so far, but the cameras have been a disappointment. Why can't moto and other foldable phone OEMs give us a great camera on a device with this form factor?

[@jvtechtea]

I tend to think it's a space issue, ultimately. But with that in mind, I wouldn't be mad about a flip phone that's pretty thick on both halves. Maybe even top heavy for the sake of cameras

[@gboy888]

Pixel Flip rumors? 🤔

[@mattbefiya]

It is totally possible to give a very satisfactory camera performance with these size constraints using the tried and true pixel 6A sensor + google magic. Wonder if google might pull it off if/when they do their flip phone.

[@onemat2000]

Thanks so much for this review. I ordered the phone last week. I should get it tomorrow!

[@stevengonzalez4111]

Hey Joshua, your review on the Razr plus was very informative and most helpful. I recently left the iPhone and am new to the android world and with no apple music app available anymore would like to ask you what music app do you use on your razr? Or could you recommend one. Any information would be appreciated sir. Please keep reviewing and am looking forward to the next one. Thanks

[@abbasr.7422]

Thanks! I already but the phone. I'm wondering if it is necessary to have a case for the phone. Do you have any experience when you suddenly dropped the phone or so?

[@fabiandsouza8937]

Your reviews are amazing ❤

[@zeusfitter007]

Cornelius Would Be Proud.🙌🏻

[@pturnerification]

I appreciate you and your mindfulness minute with us. I practice it multiple times a day and it was refreshing to have that with you for tea/ as I drink my morning coffee.

[@Stalonage]

Josh these tea breaks are amazing

[@Stalonage]

also twice is so good.

[@rogoch]

I love the phone so much that I purchase a China ROM set because my home country not bringing in. Happy when I got it 2 days back, then hit into issues; my SIM only works with VoLTE but it is nowhere found. Provider advise to make calls with their voice apps, done so, happy to make call but stress out as I can receive incoming call, friends calls were diverted 😢 Next, there's no eSIM found, how can I do dual SIM then??? Do you have any suggestions to help me out?

[@yukmouth2009]

How was the battery life

[@olegvorkunov5400]

Would fingernails damage inner display while opening up?

[@EdwardJOkopny]

Is 3 button navigation available on outer display? Also, looking forward to a further review of 2023 Edge+. My current phone is a 2020 Edge+, and the 2023 version is the first version that I have considered upgrading to as the 2021 and 2022 versions were lackluster at best.

[@Scottydoesntknow6531]

Yes the 3 button nav works on the outside screen. I've had the phone since 6/21 and the only thing I've found subpar is the lowlight photos and videos but I don't use that feature that often.

[@EdwardJOkopny]

@@Scottydoesntknow6531 thank you for the great reply.

[@canad-ian]

Good video. Thank you for the input.

[@hubbardjr23]

Know any good orange or citrus teas my friend?

[@Imaginativeai]

Great review as always Josh

[@kayo1265]

battery life?

[@justinwilker8431]

Is there an option to set the outer display to always show the time?

[@sconathon]

One thing I use constantly on pixel is the passive song search on the lock screen. Is this feature available for non-pixels like the razr? This phone is really calling to me

[@vonzarooz2829]

How long until the crease gets bad?

[@dahyunator184]

Great review! Anyway, how's the concert?

[@riparnaroychowdhury9363]

Can I make or receive calls from the front screen without opening the phone?

[@vessyto]

I am considering this phone, but I have a question for someone who already owns it. If you open an app, say Google Keep on the cover screen for checking your grocery list while in the store, but you put it away for 2 minutes, then check again, does it open the app you last opened and not closed, or do you have to open it again after the screen was shut off once?

[@jbl500]

You got me interested. What diabetics app you use? How does it look?

[@ReavoEnd]

Love Tidus' crest on the shirt. That's so classy! Do you mind sharing where you found it??

[@jvtechtea]

Uniqlo! Don't know if they're selling it anymore tho

[@richardle9324]

Is the phone able to display gifs for the outer screen wallpaper?

[@CateChapelle]

Motorola’s sending me one as part of their retail advocacy program and it should arrive today. As a long-time folding phone skeptic, I’m looking forwards to seeing how the phone does, but I’m not expecting great things from the camera and I still haven’t been convinced of the use case of a folding phone.

[@NatashaOliveira6354]

Would you mind reviewing the 3rd party camera performance? It's really hard to find someone who talks about it. Usually, all tech reviewers focus only on native camera app, and I'm truly interested in how the cameras will behave in 3rd party applications 😊 I loved that Joshua pointed out the external display limitation on Instagram, and I would love to see more about it and in other apps as well.

[@uhm175]

Then Just buy a real camera, if that's your first concern lol

[@NatashaOliveira6354]

@uhm175 yeah... good idea, but it wouldn't solve my problem. If I was just concerned about image quality, I would certainly invest in a professional camera, but that's not the case. I have my reasons to ask what I asked.

[@momfromnj911]

Have it love it

[@edselhegmon133]

How do you get sponsorship on the phone

[@BrendaS-m1d]

Who has had this for over 6 months how the screen holding up??? I got one for 400 unlocked concerned about screen

[@eyesalooking]

You didn't mention how it works as a phone. How easy is it to dial, get rid of telemarkers, set up individual dial tones, text. How easy is it to use the keyboard. Some of us use the phone to make phone calls and answer them and quickly get rid of unwanted phone calls.

[@ahmedabbas2789]

Is it safe to open the phone like that? Flipping it with one hand?

[@SilvioBritto]

Wild comment: imagine if Windows Phones still exists, how good that interface would be in both displays here ....

[@roqeyt3566]

I suppose I will be staying for the tea after all

[@antalcucusi4446]

at 9:23 what version of mario is?

[@meijiturtle3814]

Is it possible to make and receive phone calls with the phone folded? This was not possible with the Flip 4 which seemed to me to be an omission.

[@jvtechtea]

Yes you can take calls when the phone is closed, even in apps like Telegram, using the speakerphone

[@josiah641]

It is possible to take calls on the flip, to make calls, you can. It's just limited to 3 people that you add on the widget for the calling shortcut.

[@Anjuraj]

Can we restricts the app on the Cover screen.. or we can remove or add?

[@Scottydoesntknow6531]

You can add or remove most apps also restrict what shows

[@josefigueroa4738]

Nice!!!!! Should I get it or wait for the Flip 5?

[@lukemothug]

Wait for the flip 5.

[@larenius1]

Definitely wait for flip 5 to make a decision then. I first wanna see what samsung will do with a bigger front screen

[@Anjuraj]

No mention on Battery life.. Or Did I miss it ...

[@jvtechtea]

Not yet, I'm still kind of assessing how much battery drain going between the two screens really does

[@Scottydoesntknow6531]

I've had the phone since 6/21 and I have had 0 issues with the battery life.

[@shuvadeepdey2574]

You said nothing about battery life. Now I understood why Motorola sponsored this video.

[@jvtechtea]

This video was primarily just talking about the use of the cover screen and what it brings to the table. Still assessing how using either and both screens daily really impacts general usage. So far, battery life doesn't seem too different from regular bar phones with similar capacities. More in an upcoming video.

[@shuvadeepdey2574]

@@jvtechtea Yes but 3800 mah battery is very less.

[@LChineze]

​@@shuvadeepdey2574the battery size doesn't seem large, but it doesn't need to be since you do quick tasks on the cover screen. if you do everything on the main screen, then this phone isn't for you.

[@jdd3786]

I was around when cell phones first came out. They were pocket sized and you flipped them open to make a call. Then, they progressed to smartphones, where you didn't have to flip them open because everything is on one screen. Now we have flip-smartphones that make no sense. This fad will fade.

[@Wudinstoun]

Would have loved to see an improvement in under-display cameras. Hiding the camera beneath the outer screen would have been beautiful

[@remyd8767]

Who do you main in sf6?

[@mrcincoundos]

Chun-Li

[@michaelmayers3622]

Samsung already confirmed to be having a bigger screen before this even came out

[@thelaststand1977]

They are too late. I mean it takes 5th generation to release that design?

[@Dannyar10]

​@@thelaststand1977doesn't matter if it's late if it's better. Samsung will surely have a way superior camera as the flip 4 does compared to this brand new moto.

[@josiah641]

​@@thelaststand1977they're coasting. They didn't have to rush because they're the frontrunner. I'm grateful for this because it forces innovation.

[@chiNEz85]

Battery?

[@Scottydoesntknow6531]

The battery has done great for me and I can't put it down. I'm actually impressed considering the size of the battery.

[@TheJp369]

Where can I get that tea?

[@Only1TReal]

Great video!!! This is the first flip phone that I actually want. Been looking for something new and this might be it. BTW I've been watching you since you was with AA. Really don't like the new Samsung flip folder screen. I'm sure they will be a comparison video.

[@josiah641]

The screen isn't going to be a big deal, its not going to be worth paying for old specs when you can get the same value, a better camera, a better ip rating, and better support for updates. It's not going to be fun when you get the android versions months after everyone else.

[@Only1TReal]

@@josiah641 really wish I could have a Huawei here in the states. I've been using my S21 Ultra and haven't seen anything that I really want 😔

[@borgabear]

Sexy phone, love it. Also what’s that game is that at around 1:00 ?

[@ryusan717]

It's using a old processor sony and Motorola keep selling phones with premium prices but using 2 year old processors what the hell

The phone is smooth and flawless. I've had 0 issues with it since I received it.

[@NitaiAgarwal]

One can tell it’s sponsored and not honest.

[@jdotoz]

You can tell that it's sponsored, eh? You mean you watched the first thirty seconds, in which he told you that it was? You're a real detective.
