I feel like reviewers often times look at products with a one size fits all mentality. Not every device is going to need to do it all. The smaller screen on the cover might be nice for someone who just wants to check their notifications and not be tempted to get sucked into using their phone, and it remains more useful than say something like the Nothing phone's glyphs which seem cool, but require you to put your phone face down which I feel like most people don't do, and it also doesn't add that much to the smartphone formula.

This is exactly how I feel. I don’t want a whole touchscreen on the outside of the phone. I feel like it kinda defeats the point of a foldable. I really like the regular Razr

As long as I can see notifications at a glance and control music, I'm fine with a smaller external display. The more expensive one is cool, but also seems like more to get scratched up and/or damaged imo.

Reminds me so much on my Env2 and Env3 (both LG, mostly had LG since). I am looking forward to it!! I'm tired of companies crapping all over anything that isn't iPhone or Samsung. Iphone is too expensive for what you get and you couldn't pay me to take another Samsung.

See, when I look at a phone like the Z Flip 5 with a massive outer display, I can’t help but think that’s not at all what I want. I don’t WANT there to be a large display providing distractions and if I wanted to do things with my phone without needing to open it, it’d have bought a traditional smartphone. Especially seeing as Moto is selling the razr+ alongside this, it seems they understand that some people don’t want big outer displays. This phone makes a LOT of sense for those people like myself, and it doesn’t seem to be right to knock it for having a small, simplified display. It’s like knocking a gold cart because it’s not a pickup truck. It’s designed to cater to a different crowd.

Exactly!!! Thank you for saying this! That's why I haven't "upgraded" my Z Flip4 for the Z Flip 5 because for my needs, it would have been a downgrade no matter how tempting the pre-order trade-in promotions were. I'm glad there is a rising community of the smaller-cover-screen fans. Motorola is smart for providing this option in addition the bigger cover screen one, and I hope Samsung will come back to offering the smaller cover screen options again and won't go on exclusively making the Z Flip5 type of all-black-brick cover screens. If we wanted that, we would have kept our iPhone minis, for example. I got Z Flip 4 because I was craving the effect of physically shutting off the screen instead of just pressing the side button like on an iPhone. With the big cover screen on the new flip phones now, there is no way to shut that screen off but using the side button again. And that's just one of the examples of why the smaller cover screen is a better way.

I don't want a big display screen on the outside of the phone. I like this form factor. I simply want a big phone to use that I can fold and put it in my pocket to easily carry it around all day. I'm tired of the "brick" falling out of my pocket and hitting the floor. If I simply wanted to use a small phone, I would just buy a compact phone. The prices are great on this phone right now! Don't you think in light of the prices that this phone deserves a better review than this, one guessing what the price would be. We can't all afford top dollar top specs. I think Motorola did a great job and huge accomplishment of making a foldable flip phone cheaper and available to more average consumers! That's a big win for many of us who are wanting to try a foldable phone but have not been able to afford one until now. Motorola in the US has this for $499 right now. There are carrier special deals at ad low as $199. This phone is a steal at $499 or less.

I've had this phone for almost two months coming from a iPhone 12 pro max and I love it for the 200 bucks I got it on boost for. The screen is big and beautiful,the cameras take pretty good pics not as good as the iPhone but good enough. The only thing I would gripe about is I wish it had the same snapdragon as the Razr+. It's not a bad processor at all but I wish it was more compatible wit some higher end games like GTA definitive edition but cod mobile runs pretty good on max settings. It gets warm pretty quick but doesn't lag or nothing. But I do like this phone alot and the external screen is perfect for just the simple stuff I wanna check without flipping it open. Definitely a whole lotta phone for 200 bucks lol

My z flip broke right on the crease when I folded it closed after having it for about a month and a half, I sent it to Samsung and they pretty much told me I wouldn’t have mattered how or why the screen broke, I have to pay over three hundred dollars and needless too say, I did not take it well and i am disabled and on a fixed income and I can barely pay my bills let alone pay for something that I did not do. Another crappy part is when I told my carrier, xFinity about it, they said I didn’t have coverage, which is crazy because in about 5 years with them I have always had coverage. Anyways, that’s my gripe for today. Thanks

Hi, have you tried opting for a cheaper phone? Or avoiding contract all together. It sucks being on am limited income, there are ways to make money even for disabled people. But maybe looking at flagship phones which are usually quite expensive isn't the best move for someone on a limited income. Hope your situation improves soon.

I actually prefer the smaller display. Less glass to break lol. Sending this from a pixel pro 8 that I just shattered after shattering my s22. Like the idea of a foldable phone protecting itself a little. Looking for a cheaper option cause spending 4-5 grand on phones a year is not fun. My work is hard on phones, even with top of the line cases. This phone with a strong case seems like a decent and affordable option. If it breaks in a few months 500 for a new one is a lot better than 1000+

I can't really agree with buying an out-of-date Samsung instead, Motorola are better at providing support and updates for longer. I'm also, not even sure what it is you'd want to do on that external screen, other than a quick look at an SMS, the time, or similar, for which it seems fine. This review just doesn't seem to be balanced to me, I'm not about to go buy the Razr, but it does interest me and I don't think I'd ever buy a Samsung. What about the comparison of bloatware and heavy customisation on top of Android, Motorola typically wins hands-down here, although not sure about the last few years as I own a OnePlus these days.

The price isn't what is holding folding phones back. Even whne they get cheaper and offer flagship capabilities... It'll be popular for a few years, then will die down. The problem is the screens are plastic, and are more fragile. Until there's a way to scratch at a level 6 with deeper grooves at a level 7, I don't see them being a "long term" device.
@keithsawicz3371

I've spent a lot of time looking at display folding/flip phones and considering the amount of fiddling they're getting then I think they are quite durable as long as they aren't abused, deliberately tested with a finger nail or continuously flipped open with one hand etc. I've just bought a RAZR 40 (not +) at a bargain price of £460 to see how I get on with it. I also have an S23. If it goes wrong then it's not too much money to say " ah well I tried it" etc. I do tend to look after my phones.

The idea is great, however the phone degrades rapidly. Initially the phone connection was terrible. At first I thought it was a problem with my service provider verizon but switching the sim card back to my old device I discovered that the phone itself was to blame. At 1 month the crease where the phone folds created a white line in the middle of the screen. The "vegan leather" began to peel off. At 2 months the screen would randomly show only gray scale- no color. at 3 months the phone screen went entirely black- resetting the device did not correct it. At this point the phone was completely unusable. I contacted motorola for a refund and was told the window for a refund is only within 14 days of purchase. They advised me to send them the phone for repair and attempt to sell it myself on ebay... DO NOT BUY!

If I was a galaxy zflip 4 user and was considering switching to this would you consider it a downgrade in 2024? They are roughly the same price on Amazon.

the motorola razr 2023 is $150 at cricket right now after port in. thats a great deal and ill take that anyday especially when idk if i like foldable phones, a cheaper one is great for people who are curious to try it and if they like it they can get something more expensive.

From my understanding, it took awhile for the front screen to be big on a flip foldable anyway. So now that we have one lower priced, it's a problem?

I like mine and do not mind the small external display, actually I find its simple and direct info is good, if I want more I just flip it open. This guy is a little harsh on an affordable offering who don't have or want to spend a thousand dollars on a phone. It does everything I want and more. Good job Motorola.

As of the date of this post, you can get one of these phones (2023 model) for 99$ for changing services to a lcoal carrier. Just curious if they're worth it. I always get a moto G, and have since that line has come out but the modern G phones are lacking compared to their predecessors.

I returned mine, but I did rather enjoy the phone for the most part. It was my first flip in many years, and I questioned the durability of the hinge and screen based on how hard I am on phones. My phones get a lot of linty pocket time, exposure to sweaty pockets, hands and etc. I really questioned each day I had the phone if it would still be alive in three months.

The real reason why it didn’t sell was because we wanted a simple, reboot of the old razrs. Basically a 2-4g flip phone with few frills and designed to be minimalist. That’s why I bought a v3 and will soon start my Ting account back up, so done with smartphone addiction. They make it for the wrong crowd with all wrong features. Like who asked for a folding screen?

Kind of a stupid comment you saying who asked for foldable screen? Who asked for phones to be 6'8. Inch display? Who asked for these phones to have all these features like fast charging, waterproof, wireless charging and etc. if you don't want foldable phones don't buy them, but don't say who asked for them. Some of you people need to realize that technology moves move forward. We live in 2023 not 2003 anymore.

I’ve had 4 of these 23 razors and it’s been a nightmare. Random lines on the screen. Sometimes when you close the phone the next time you open it it will be broken and completely unusable unless you attach a mouse. My 3 month old phone broke and is unusable again…

Why do these phone review channels say phones are $1,000+? Is that an outside-the-US thing? This phone is $150 as far as I can see in 2024.

Nice idea but, if you plan to use it don't drop it I've had this one 2 days when it slipped and hit the floor now one side only lights up and there is no cracks or marks anywhere on the screen or body of the phone. ????? be gentle with your new phone.

Don't buy! I knew someone who works at a phone store. I also own this phone. It has a defect in the screen because you end up with a permanent white line. I spoke to my friend and apparently it's very common. Avoid if you can

I see no point spending $350 more for the same phone that has the same specs. I like the smaller screen when folded… I mean, who’s really going to routinely use a 3.6” screen? Just my opinion.
