Motorola Razr 2024: The Antidote To Every Other Phone

[@SEMIA123]

That rotating moto logo falls beautifully into that "dumb, but great" category that not enough software design hits anymore

[@TheMrMobile]

Agreed. It also solves for an old gripe of mine: I hated how the Motorola logo would be upside-down any time I opened one of their flip phones. It only took 25 years to fix 😄

Moto is the king of ‘dumb, but great’. I remember when they released gestures to their phones before anyone did - and that ‘chop’ motion was coming and goofy to get the camera up, but it was brilliant (and looked dumb)

[@sparky6757]

Samsung and Google's folds, ironically enough, are both arguably small phones. Yeah, the "point" of a fold is the large screen, and fair enough, that's what I use like 70% of the time. But the 6.2 inch diagonal size of my Z Fold is misleading, it's super narrow and excellent for one-handed use - the only phone I've ever comfortably been able to do swipe typing on, and it rests comfortably in my hand. The Pixel Fold's cover display, on the other hand, is basically like the iPhone Mini. Not a fan of the trend that folds are getting bigger in general, and I hope Samsung doesn't follow suit.

Don't credit Motorola with the Pink Razr. The idea was that Razr was the "male" phone. Pebl was the "female" one, so the idea of a pink Razr went against the grain, but Charles Dunstone of Carphone Warehouse ordered 250,000 Razrs in pink. I was at Motorola, we thought he was mad, and when he asked for an exclusive on pink we gave it to him. Bear in mind that the forecast for global Razr sales was 800,000 units - well that's what the team told the portfolio committee. I later learned that they thought it would sell 300,000. Carphone went on to sell 3 million pink Razrs ane we bought the rights to pink back from Carphone.

Yeah, Motorola told us at the Razr '24 briefing that the Android 14 update was "imminent" but wouldn't commit to an exact date - and as I say in the video, they're too slow to release those updates anyway, as Samsung (and even Oppo!) are months faster.

That is quite sad. I know that new Android versions have lesser value than they had a few years ago but this level a support is unacceptable when Samsung gave Android 14 in December (I have a Fold 5, it was early December I think) and it consistently delivers monthly security updates. For a longer support period. At this price range these things matter, even if Samsung is sleeping on HW development (though both the Fold and Flip 5 are super sturdy at least).

[@sparky6757]

While I would never buy a flip, I'm starting to get it. I've had a fold for nearly a year now, and I initially bought it because I wanted to fit as big of a screen in my pocket as possible - but I've come to love the narrow cover display as well. It's far easier to type with one hand than it ever was on a traditional phone. Right now I'm watering plants work one hand and typing a comment with the other, and that's something I never could have comfortably done on a slab. Having a display that's about ~2/3 the size of a typical modern phone, and also a display that's about 60% larger, it's a much better two in one combo than just "big screen, now give me $1800". While an even smaller screen than that doesn't interest me personally, I can understand the appeal now. Flips without a ~3 inch cover display still don't make any sense to me.

[@uncleren]

I owned a Z Flip 3 and Z Flip 4, and I enjoyed my time with them immensely. However a single drop onto carpet broke the Z Flip 4 hinge and I moved to a Pixel 8 due to availability and very aggressive pricing. And honestly, I have not looked back at the world of foldables. As fun as the folding experience was, there's no denying it was compromised and returning to a stress free phone that I can just chuck around has been liberating. Looking back at a phone with a crease is now an eyesore, even though it never bothered me while I was using it. The jump in outdoor screen brightness and camera quality was also very noticeable.

[@TheMrMobile]

Yeah, they're certainly not for everyone. That said, I'm the opposite: I moved to foldables full-time starting in 2020 and haven't looked back. Every time I pick up a slab phone I'm immediately unfulfilled by either the limited screen real estate (compared to large-format foldables) or the pocket penalty (compared to flips). And while I agree about the fragility in general ... I toss around all my foldables without a case, and the majority of them have held up just fine. Ultimately, just glad there are options on the market for each of us! Choice is good.

[@T4nkcommander]

I've loved my 2023 razr + (favorite phone ever) but I too got the interior screen crack after about 7 months. Moto fixed it for me with little hassle (other than initially arguing with call center people to get it fixed), but it was annoying. The new screen protector was the same as the new model btw - not having the stupid annoying cutout for the camera which just gathered grime and caught on things. Here's hoping the new hinge does indeed fix it. If so, the Razr+ 2024 with the bigger exterior screen will probably be the perfect phone. There's *just* enough times where I wish I had a bit more screen space when using the exterior one on my 23 version. The loss of ultra wide is kinda significant tho as I'm constantly having to back up with this camera as is.

[@JoshuaWilliamsMA83]

I've switched from my Galaxy S22 Ultra to the Razr 2024+ and I'm very happy with the switch! I find myself using the front screen so much, and it definitely cuts down on my doom scrolling. It's so practical. Call quality is better than my S22's was as well. I do miss the stylus and wide angle lense from time to time, but not enough to make me regret switching. Also, in my pocket, it's the same size as my wallet. It's great not having to fit a giant brick in there.

[@stratman103]

Dude you just won the internet with the "it really whips the llama." I love it. You gave me the feels.

[@watchreport]

I love the idea of a flip smartphone like this but and I’m sure I’m in the minority but I would prefer it without the cover screen. To me the whole point would be to rock a touchscreen smartphone that folds nicely into my pocket but without the need to a protection or case. The outside plastic when closed would be enough for me to keep it safe like an old school razor, with no need for a case. With this large outer screen, I now have something else to cover and protect.

[@ShashwatPanda]

It's been a long, LONG time since I have been THIS interested in a smartphone! This one hits the sweet spot in terms of evoking a genuine curiosity and awe, reminds me of my college days when new/whacky tech would excite me for days on end :) Will I be buying this one? I don't think so, not this iteration at least. The reason would be exactly what you had brought up in your vid as well- reliability. There's still some way to go in this regard for Motorola or any other flip phone manufacturer for that matter. Lovely vid as always, Mr. Mobile ! 💗 from India !

[@MarcSpctr]

I just hope someone makes a CONTROLLER for it but not horizontal as usual, instead vertical. So when closed you can play 4:3 old consoles on the outer screen. flip it open and now can also emulate consoles like Nintendo DS.

[@ithinkabout4369]

As a Razr 40 Ultra owner, I love the new 2x telephoto...the ultrawide in my phone is just so much worse than the normal wide angle lense, and the difference in scope is much smaller than it was with my previous Galaxy Z Flip3. The ultrawide is almost useless IMO. I agree 2x is not that much, but I use 2x zoom a lot, so for me it would be a great improvement. Maybe with the next generation they could do 5x, at least that would be my hope.

[@onepunchbud1472]

I fully agree. I use the zoom so much more often than the wide angle. People complaining dont make much photos in my opinion. I hate the bad sensors on the wide angle most phones have. When you need a bigger shot - go into panorama mode. Boooom problem solved 😂

[@derekisthematrix]

I also think it's a "have kids" or "don't have kids" difference. Without my telephoto on my Pixel, I'd miss a lot of great memories.

[@kamalpreetsingh8221]

[@Screwy]

There's a potent irony in seeing so much lavish design going into the music player UI on these when I just bought a DAP to load all my music onto. Still, I was originally gonna get a Razr Plus 2023 on discount/refurb, but the "Minus" has far less compromises than I expected, so I might go for that instead. My only gripe is that I wish there was just one more colorway for the Minus, be it either the Magenta or Glacier from the Plus 2023 or something else. The one I'm considering the most is the koala grey for the texturing. All the different material types makes me wish they would go back and do bamboo backing again like the Moto X Gen 2

Honestly I appreciate the 2x telephoto over an ultrawide. I currently have a Pixel 7Pro, and I find myself very often wanting to punch into 2x to better frame shots indoors or in close proximity, or zooming in to catch something small or in the distance I can't approach, but the ultrawide is such a drop off in quality compared to the other cameras, and the added distortion means that I would almost always rather take a few steps back to use the wide angle. I do find myself really missing my iphone Xs old 2x camera, I think we think too much in zoom, and not enough in terms of focal length, and the 2-3x lenses typically produce much more pleasing portraits than cropping the main camera, regardless of any post effect blur being applied.

[@aliettienne2907]

14:44 That complete full display on the cover screen is a bold step from Motorola but it is the right decision. The full display must be captivating (I suppose in personal experience) whenever you make a quick glance at it. The bigger display must be providing extra flexibility when navigating the screen. From my position the display is gorgeous each time I watch every review of the Motorola Razr 50.

I've seen this phone in person. It's beautiful, and the display is also. And this the base razr im speaking of. I just got the new galaxy fold 6 and as in love as i am with it, im considering the razr for my second (backup) line. Samsung and Motorola have typically been my go to Android devices.

Tele!!! I have 0 use for ultra wide on my phone I wish if they were going to do only 2 cameras it would be 35mm standard and 75-100mm tele. I want this for ALL PHONES! people look horrible taken on less than 35mm! Everyone should follow Nubia and make 35mm the standard!

[@PhoenicopterusR]

This might just be me, but if you're getting nitpicky on lenses in a smartphone, then why not just have a camera?

[@james8606]

I own the 2022 Razor and love it. For me far better than my wife's z flip 4 (apart from camera) but it's not a bad one. Her phone has been sent back twice due to the screen cover splitting. Not had the issue on my razor. I'm looking at a bigger phone for my next upgrade as miss my duo but if I don't I think I'll go back with moto

So, Customer service is bad everywhere and I wasn't hallucinating it seems!

[@TheMrMobile]

It's a mess, everywhere.

[@SurajSinghTomarArya]

I like such kind of phones. My current phone is LG Wing and next one is definitely going to Razr.

[@nashizumrud2090]

Here's my hot take: Motorola should've added a third lens for telephoto for the plus model.

[@TheMrMobile]

Agree. Add the chin again, and fill it with cameras!

10:38 That cat face with the "hate" wording was top notch 😹😹

[@shiningfractal4514]

Michael, I'm worried you're getting out of touch. *699* is not budget for the populace.

[@vaw2487]

That's not budget compared to other candy bar phones, but that's definitely on the lower end of foldable phone prices

[@Anjula321]

it's definitely budget when it comes to foldables

[@PhoenicopterusR]

Budget comparatively. Cmon, keep up.

[@eskiwarrior6950]

Not going to lie, Mr mobile killed it with this review! This is the content we need

[@ryanpalmer3214]

"It really whips the llama." This took me back. I so loved Winamp. Great video!

[@FoxxFire]

When I'm getting ready to skip forward, almost no youtube personality can stop me with a simple phrase. However, when Mr Mobile says, 'Stay with me,' I without hesitation move my right hand back to its original position.

[@FastGojira]

OS updates are rarely dropped right away, but I've never been disappointed by how robust they make the update. And you get many security updates now matter what moto you have. Ide almost prefer robust security over flashy new stuff

[@Evie0133]

I genuinely don't get why they got rid of the ultrawide on the Plus, it was an ultrawide + macro lens in one, way more useful than a dingus 2x lens :( That new Razr+ really does excite me tho, that cover display is STUNNING :D

[@aubinbaldonado]

4:08 Winamp Winamp, it really whips the lama's... Loved it

[@JWUniverse]

Motorola was the Highlight of my Teen Years having a Flip back in the Day was the cool thing before iPhones killed that love… But my Love of Motorola never died currently rocking the Edge 2024. Will I ever return to Moto Flip?… Never say Never I probably will just for old times sake! 😊 Great coverage and how have I never heard of you before. Subscribed!

[@mosquito4026]

This feels like the first small android phone that I would use after I made the switch to iphone 13 mini. That front cover screen is better done than any other flip phones imo, I would prolly use the phone only via the front cover.

[@teknolem7426]

I swapped from 15 pro max to razr 2024 non+ and I'm happy as heck. Going on almost 2 months

[@robkinney1974]

The OG Razr was such a fantastic phone. Sound quality was great and it was built like a tank.

[@MJJ1390]

I loved my Razr 2022 (before the screen shattered and it shorted out). I'm 100% going to get one of those 2024 Razr+ when I have the spare cash

[@BS-jw7nf]

Crazy that companies still don't do propper updates in 2024. It's literally the reason why I switched to apple in the first place. The first three or so phones I owned a decade ago stopped receiving updates about a year after release and were barely useable after two. My iphone 6s is still sitting on a shelf somewhere and I know that when I boot it up it will still be somewhat usable.

[@Wonderland2097]

I’ve missed Motorola but as pretty as that bigger outer screen is, I gotta stick to Samsung. The inconsistency with the camera, unreliability with software support & lack of repair options in my country means it’s just not quite there yet when compared to some bigger brands.

[@Mandolorian1001]

I'm watching this video on my RAZR 50+, my first ever android, and I now too have been called captain two phones at work; the UK mobile phone store I work at. This phone is such a joy to use! I was so excited to catch this video, I haven't felt this giddy for a Mr Mobile Video in AGES

[@muustfa]

i like how alligned the sad cat shot with the dialog , really enjoyed watching this one

[@ICTPrasanna]

Thank you for the "Winamp" reference. took me back to so many memories 🥰

[@Rusty_Shackleford099]

I would be all in on foldables if there were a model with expandable storage.

[@willwunsche6940]

I love the colors!! I remember the old days of Moto X Pure Edition back in the day. Why can't we get comfortable fun stuff like that anymore?

[@tonyolshansky9288]

I've been waiting for this review, because nobody does them quite like Micheal Fisher. Thanks man!

[@MattyIcecubes]

Just got my Razr 3 days ago and it's amazing! I wouldn't trade it for any other phone in the world. It's absolutely perfect.

The screen rotation for the cover screen is one of the most important updates, some apps really can’t run or not optimised for landscape orientation.
