New Motorola Razr+ 2024: Moto, we have to talk!

The New Motorola Razr line up for 2024 has been announced with some pretty big changes to the outside of the Plus. A 4" display is quite something, so you can do a lot of typing and scrolling without opening the main device. Unfortunately, Motorola has to answer for some things on the software side, and its release schedule HAS to get better.

I don't know how many passes Motorola gets before it gets the message and releases the software in a timely fashion --- especially if there are new features!

I have the 2023 one. It works great for me, but I only do basic functions on it. I try to minimize my smartphone usage. I really like it!

The new setup is called Hello UI. It’s a nice little upgrade over My UX and you can see subtle differences that make it look better. Motorola makes great phones but they absolutely need to increase the number of software updates and push the updates out way sooner. There’s no way you should ever pay $1,000 for a Razr Plus and a year later, you’re still waiting for Android 14. We’re only a few months away from the Pixel 9 lineup and Android 15. Motorola should not be prioritizing Android updates so low. Surely, it cannot be that hard to put out timely updates and support your devices more long term.

I love Motorola phones. But they always have software issues. They also never correct issues with software.

I used the Razr Plus for about six months and for the most part I liked the device. Enjoyed the external screen and overall form factor. However, the potential documented issues with screen protector degradation from simply opening/closing the phone was too much of a concern for me to fully enjoy it. (Not specific to Moto). Yes, Motorola will repair the screen under warranty, but it could happen again so ultimately I wasn't willing to take the chance of incurring additional costs and being without a phone. However, the lack of timely software updates was an aspect that frustrated me most. The security patches were rarely on time (someone should advise Moto that 90 days is not bi-monthly) and often were two months old. Also, why does Motorola think its acceptable to not roll out an OS update until a newer version of the phone is released? Thats lazy and insulting to the people who paid a lot of money for the Razr. Timely, stable software updates are important to me so now I'm using a Motorola ThinkPhone and to date its been a great experience.

Moto is the new Blu... They flood the market with phones with little to no software support. Blu doesn't update their phones they just make and sell new ones with updated software.

Why are people so obseesed with the "new software update" in 2024? This isn't Android donut or lollipop that every update gives out tons of new features anymore. For security update...sure, it is nice, but honestly you ain't missing much between android 12, 13 and 14 anyways. Not to mention that new upgrade often make your phone laggy, it may actually better to stick with default android version as the benefit isn't as high as before

Thanks for speaking for the razr 2023 owners. I was sent a brand new one days ago because my previous razr fried after 6 months. I really believe it's software related, because of the lack of updates; the device needs optimization to run these apps. It gets way too hot which causes screen burn.

As In wrote in your other video, I've already bought this phone. Won't be released until 10h of July, but as of right now they're pre selling them with 450,- in discount for the Razr 50 ULTRA (as they call'em over here ) What wonders me though is why do they sell these in the US without any accessories?? Here in Norway we get everything in the box! A 67W charger, a case made in the phone's colour etc. I don't get it🤦

The ONLY reason I might switch from Samsung to the razr+ 2024 is the 50MP telephoto lens. I NEVER use a wide angle lens. However, Samsung is rumered to be using a 50MP main camera so that may just be enough for me to go back to a flip. Still rockin an S20+!

That’s the thing when you buy a Motorola phone you just have to be OK with not getting software updates in a timely manner or sometimes not at all and so if you’re OK with that then they’re good phones but if you want updates or you expect updates or live without updates don’t buy a Motorola phone
