[INTO THE FOLD EPISODE 8: MRMOBILE’S GALAXY Z FLIP 5G & MOTOROLA RAZR 5G LONG-TERM REVIEW]
When I first put on the MrMobile vest in 2016, I could never have predicted that by the end of the decade, the flip-top future tech I coveted as a kid would warp from novelty into fully-usable smartphones.
Since I bought the first Samsung Galaxy Fold in January 2020, I have exclusively carried foldables as my personal phones. Today my daily carry includes a Samsung Galaxy Fold 2 for weekdays, stepping down to the smaller Galaxy Z Flip and Motorola Razr 5G on weekends. And over time I’ve noticed a funny thing: while I can get more work done on phones like the Fold 2, I find the flips so convenient, so … fun ... that even during the week I sometimes slip one of these into my side pocket instead of the Fold.
So as we approach a second summer of Folds and Flips, I want to share my experience from the past year of actually using flip phones in our modern era: from nostalgic whimsy to screen-splitting heartbreak. I’m Michael Fisher and this is your Galaxy Z Flip 5G and Motorola Razr 5G long-term review.

I have the z flip, last month a bunch of outta state family members came for an event. My cousin was like, SHOW EVERYONE YOUR PHONE, cause ya'know it's so cool. So in a restaurant with 15+ people looking down to the end of the table where I was sitting, I stood up and held up my phone and then I shut it... and the entire table went crazy, like I did an amazing magic trick!! It was the funniest memorable moment of the weekend. None of those people knew they made foldable smart phones. I'm in my forties and this woman loves it! Ever since smart phones came out I've been wishing for a foldable phone... I manifested that shit lol.

[@Dimondminer11]

My first phone (in 2012 mind you) was a samsung convoy 2 flip phone. Over the past 9 years I've owned 2 flip phones and I definitely have some nostalgia for them. Also, cmon, A FOLDING DISPLAY! doesn't get much cooler than that really but I have to say that I'll be waiting until the 3rd or 4th gen of folding phones before I buy one.

[@Eontologist]

Nostalgia, limiting superfluous phone usage and pocket discrimination are my big drives for wanting a foldable. I wish they were at the point I was ready to commit to getting one but I think they’re still a few generations out for me.

[@jme8728]

I love the fact that I can confidently handle and carry my phone knowing I won't be calling or texting someone something embarrassing... lol

These last few years where boring everbody played it save. I now have my Galaxy Z Flip for more then a year and will even wait for next years iteration.

The inner selfie camera is cloudy from dust and pocket lint, but that's the only real issue I've had with it so far. Battery life isn't anything to write home about, the screen does indeed stay a little dimmer in sunlight than I'd like, but it's honestly been such a fun experience for me that I absolutely know my next phone will also be a foldable

[@WedgeStratos]

Finally saw someone who carries a Razr and it genuinely looks awesome, even with the plastic screen. The person mentioned that he tends to use the front screen a lot, so evidently whether it's open or closed, it can handle it. I'm excited to see where else this market goes.

[@Evie0133]

I truly appreciate your continued coverage on foldables, and long term ones at that. I personally own a Z Flip, and it's the most fun I've with a phone in such a long time, while providing tangible benefits like incredible portability and genuine fun every time I open and close the thing. While it's really not a standout when it comes to specs, sometimes you don't really need the best specs to have a great experience, and the Z Flip made me get that. And I appreciate your coverage on durability as well. While I've no issues with mine, I've seen plenty of people who did, so it's nice to see you cover it in more detail. You're my favorite tech content creator for a reason! (And the intro bit where you showed one of your first vids really sent me back to 2016 when I first found your channel with your very first video, and smiled with joy to see you back on KZbin. It was honestly so dang amazing)

And I'm a little worried about what am i gonna do when i have to change or update my phone. I love this phone so much i have i even think about getting another one, just exactly the same!

I heard a great example once comparing Foldables to Exotic cars. Exotic Cars have amazing features, but aren't as reliable or price conscious as a Daily Driver.

After using it and optimizing how things run, I can generally get a full day (6am till 9 or 10pm) of usage using everything from navigation to Facebook etc throughout the day. I too enjoy getting the occasional person asking what kind of phone I'm using and many people are often amazed. Can definitely say the camera is pretty decent, not quite top level but more than acceptable for my regular usage. Overall I'd say it's my favorite phone that I find myself carrying more than my iPhone 12.

I actually got the Z Flip 5G back in December (thanks to this channel which I found looking through reviews of the thing and I've stuck around, love the content) and it's a shame that I have gotten slightly annoyed by the amount of compliments that I get when using it. Sometimes I just want to enjoy my lunch breaks without someone new coming up and asking me what phone I have. I still get joy from the people who's eyes light up and they point at it and asking what kind of phone it is when I'm doing anything else, though. The only thing I worry about now is the amount of users getting that wear and tear on the center of the phone. Other than that, I still love it.

I picked up a gen2 razr 5g in the same color you have for just shy of 100 bucks and I love this phone! Sure it's not the fastest but it's pretty quick for just about everything I do and I love the hinge so much

4:07 what's the neon icon pack on the phone on the right?

10:34 you missed a golden opportunity to say I carry 2phones 🤣

[@nerovanguard846]

3:35 I also get that question most of the time with my ROG Phone 2. Off topic, I know but I understand that "geeky feeling" you're saying, Michael 😂

So another informative video but I need more info on the larger foldable cousin, and this seems to be mostly about the clamshells. Being a Samsung Note groupie, and the fact that it's about time for a new phone, I'm crushed there will be no Note series this year. I'm considering a foldable switch but I'm scared about that cracking screen.

I love my 5g z flip, I guess i've only had mine 6 months but I agree with everything Mr.Mobile said. I also like the curiosity people get when they see you fold up before putting it in your pocket. Mostly I like filming tiktoks with it lol

0:46 What Thems are those , I have Z flip and I am loving these them especially the one right ?

[@404-Err0r]

I honestly have to say that I absolutely love your videos... your love with flip phones is exactly how I feel about them. It's been a long while since I played with my Motorola star tac X... and they used to be fun and give character. I also have the razr 5g, main being the fold 2 as it is such a work horse esp for my job in tech support. But the weekend is when I take rhe razr out since it's so much lighter and give so much more character. After so long, I've finally found my younger youth self with these new fordable phones. That being said... I have to ask.. was that a Windows 95/98 emulator I saw you using with the fold 2?? Or just an RDP into a legacy pc? It's cool!! Liked and subbed in a heartbeat.

Love this series on foldables!

[@gelignite664]

As a tech myself, I enjoy watching your amazing clips. I have a question. I bought a nokia 3110 thats a 3g version. I was wondering if its possible to upgrade it to a 4-5 G phone? Cheers

[@canad-ian]

After watching this (great video btw) I'm curious to see how the Flip 3 and Fold 3 perform. I'm more for Fold than the Flip but after buying a Tab S7, I'm not sure the Fold is really a want anymore as I have that bigger screen.

[@mkrestuarant]

As a previous owner of a Razr 5G , a Z Flip 5G and now using a Z Fold 3. I found this phone so useful eventhough I never want an android tablet. But I found that having a big screen just a fold away is so good. So,I love it. A bar phone is so dull and boring to me. Like in my junior high school days. I always found myself out of a slab phone and more into flip or slide phone.

[@thisoldbelair]

I really would love a flip phone like this, but the screen issue worries me for those prices. My iphone 7 plus i bought brand new from the Apple store in January 2019 is still going strong with absolutely zero issues after 2 1/2 years. Love your content, keep it up 👍

[@obidean3964]

Man this makes me even more pumped for the upcoming Z Flip 3 and Z Fold 3. Keep em coming Sammy, can't wait 😁

[@OXIR]

I love this series so much Can't wait to see Z Flip 3 and Fold 3 Tho I think Fold 2 looks better than Fold 3 cause 2 looks like it has less rounded corners and that Mystic Bronze does look super good imo

[@jashsachdeva7729]

Sir, Do you still have the LG Wing? I would like to watch ur long term review of it... I've been using it since last 3 months and I actually find it extremely practical

[@FA7ALtheGOD]

I'm convinced Hugh can fix almost anything so it made sense that you sent your phone to him across the pond. Great video, Micheal.

[@manojmondal3286]

"Some clumsy KZbinr smashed the phone ....... I was the KZbinr " -- MrMobile .... Very dramatic style of confession 👍👍👍👍

[@PetitePhillyLife]

The LG wing has been my main phone for about a year now... Love that phone for video and answering emails/text but i've been wanting the razr since the first gen. It's now at a reasonable price so i'm getting it.
