I honestly think phones will keep trending in this direction. Flip phones didn't go away because people didn't like them, they went away because we couldn't fold our smartphones. The future is definitely in form factors that can change in size. Once Apple gets onboard it'll become the default mainstream style and we'll get to see even faster improvements from the likes of Samsung and Motorola.

But I feel like it would’ve been a much different approach compared to Samsung. I know Steve Jobs would’ve still kept the iPhone Mini line up, because he was all for lightness and portability. And some people still beg for that, because these new phones are insanely massive and heavy.

It's the clear passion of the subject he's talking about, the fluency of his speech, the balance of using a rich vocabulary and being easily understood by the average viewer, the interjections between different sections, the on-point short clips that perfectly display the current sentence in video form, and many other factors that combine to make a video that is both entertaining and informative.

Foldables like the Z Fold 4 are the headline for a reason. They actually solve a problem aka they serve a purpose. Clamshell foldable phones are COOL and FUN but they don't solve a problem. They're just regular slab phones that can fold in half to become twice as thick. You're not getting a bigger screen in your pocket. They're basically smart make-up mirrors for females which is why females love the Z Flip so much.

While I think it's the shame we lost the iconic RAZR hardware design, the practicality of the cover display is incredibly helpful, especially when you can do that much without even opening it. I really hope this gives Samsung a tinge of concern and pushes them to innovate more with the Flip 5, even if the cameras on the RAZR+ are mediocre. Well done once again on this review Michael.

It's expected to also have a big front screen, the teardrop fold design, plus a Snapdragon Gen 2 processor and adapted Google apps especially for the Flip5 front screen. Also hoping Samsung feels the heat from the Razr and drops the price to $899 for preorders.

I received my Razr Plus yesterday, June 28th. Really want to love this version as the flip style implementations are preferred compared to a brick style smart phone. So far battery life is good to great. I am a moderate user and find much of the use to be snappy. I have noted that at times my transition between apps and scrolling to be somewhat jerky and not as smooth and polished as I have come to expect. I will put this through the paces to see if this is right for me. Thank you for the good review. I look forward to a follow up review for the Razr Plus.

Day two of my use and overall the battery life is adequate. My initial observation is the Flip phone competition is good for overall product development to ensure everyone innovates instead of just doing the bare minimum and calling it an upgrade. Ultimately I will end returning my Glacier Blue Razr Plus. This device is nice but I am disappointed in the overall product. In my opinion this device does need the premium specs to include the latest processor as well as 12 GB of RAM. The Razr will be a great Phone for most users, however it will not merit my long term use.

I believe the 8 Gen 2 as well as 12 GB of RAM would be the icing on the cake.The Razr will be a great phone for most users. However, it will not merit my long-term use. To ensure Samsung is put on notice, they must step up their game this will be essential for Motorola to succeed. So far, my favorite phone this year is the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. Hoping the Galaxy Flip 5 will have 12 GB of RAM may a premium Ultra model. The battery life needs to be better. However, I do believe this will disappoint me in the long run. Maybe next year will be a banner year for the flip phones. For anyone that has Verizon service, the unlocked version works well even though it doesn't have the MM wave 5G. I still get 5G service even in my area.

I'd say if you already have a big screen mobile device, flip style is the way to go. But, if you don't have one and want a "do everything device, then a good fold phone should be cool as heck

@awsxedc3 I have the fold 4 currently, but the more usable outer display and all of the pixel features with their fold is really tempting. On the other hand, the flip 5 is going to be considerably cheaper, and a unique experience. I only really consume media on my phone, I'm not a big multitasker. I'm gonna wait and see how the flip is before deciding on any of these 3 or just deciding to stick it out with my current phone for another year

The first two manufactures have experience in the foldable department. Google has a bad track record with 1st gen stuff also the Tensor G2 is pretty bad with battery efficiency and the Pixel is touted as the slowest charging phone series’s, so probably wait for the Pixel Fold to hit the bargain bin (I don’t see it holding its value well) or wait for second gen.

@superiortoall22 I had the pixel 6 pro and that was dogshit but I've heard better things about the tensor g2. Google has had years to observe the competition making foldables so I don't think the pixel fold will be as bad as the 6 pro was

This is the type of video im excited to see, it really contextualizes what its like to operate without opening the phone. The video call part is underrated because you can use the outer cameras instead. If we see the same cover functionality on the flip 5, ill go with that one because apart from the refresh rate on the cover being 60hz, its the better hardware.

I loved the form factor. I would love to have one so that I can use the folded outside screen for most of the time and the big screen as needed. I hope Google makes one soon. It is hard switching to another manufacturer after using Pixel.

I use an iPhone so I’m not really familiar with the camera on the Samsung or the Motorola phones. On my iPhone I find I can play with the exposure settings to get the color saturation that I want. There’s a setting in the iPhone camera called EV and I can put the setting at from -2 to +2. Sometimes when I take a picture, I will look at the picture and see what EV sitting the phone with use and then I’ll either push it up a notch or bring it back a notch depending on what I want to do. If I want more color pop I will push it a bit and if I want less color pop because the subject is not perfect I will pull it a little bit. Since you are very familiar with the Samsung phone, maybe you could look into how to play with the settings on it and see if you could do the same thing.

I would 100% pick one up if I didn’t work outdoors. The risk of getting debris on the screen and folding it with sand or something in it are far too great. Want a foldable so bad though.

That is something that got me interested in the 5G model, the usage of the outer screen. Barely had to open the phone. Never had a lot of issues due to the small chip, choppy pics or crease on screen, was way less than any Samsung foldable. I really miss the hinge, which help me hold the phone without smudging the screen, create a small cave with my hand which resonated more volume towards me. I'm interested in the new + model. Seeing how on hold calls are hung when closing the screen may be related to settings glitch, really hope the camera gets updates to fix those little details. I will have to wait till I get mine. Thanks for the info.

Excellent review. Even though I've never used one personally, I think the problem with outer screens on many recent flip phones really never been the size but how you've been allowed to use whatever space the outer screen had. With far too many of the limitations feeling artificial, not being able to read messages and sending to anyone of your contacts are a few quite frankly baffeling ones.

I was a Motorola Droid Turbo user for five solid years and I'd love to support Motorola again by getting the Razr Plus. But the substandard camera function under this brand is quite a deal breaker for me... sigh. Although I felt sorry to ditch my Droid Turbo for the Pixel 5, Google's camera was a HUGE upgrade. Aargh. This is really a department Motorola's been struggling to keep up with all these years.

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. EDIT: If you want the ALWAYS ON display, the Razr plus does have a Screen Saver mode which is a good alternative.

I like Motorola because they're one of the more creative cellphone makers right now that we still have left the U.S. But I think the next step for this RAZR series is to give it a replaceable battery, just like the original RAZR had. Imagine having an airpods-like charging case that holds a spare battery and when you need more juice, you just swap it out and charge the battery separately from your phone.
