surprisingly, the flexible screen is fully functional even the hinge is badly damaged

[@b3njamin602]

FR! This phone was amazing, especially considering how shallow the crease was! (despite the hinge problems......)

[@marlon.8051]

i mean it having a mid end snap 7 processor for 1500$ sucks

[@aurorablaize]

Soooo glad Motorola got their act together. You can get a 2023 razr for like 100-150 on contract and 400 off. Can't imagine paying over 1000 for this.

[@mhtmht3604]

It had potential

[@Salvatorez1980]

I love the selfies you took for this video. Just a silly goofy guy having fun

[@user-bt4vo2gz6b]

before zflip, this is my dream phone as a highschooler. it's compact and an android also. I'm now a graduating student and will purchase one when i have a job just for life accomplishment award

[@NickdeBey]

Why though

[@Ardiar21]

Honestly nice to have little bucket list things like that. On a side note though, Motorola is still making new foldable nowadays, a lot more usable if not slightly boring looking.

[@HyperFleX77]

Get the razr+ instead, it's the newest motorola foldable and it's really good, you can use any app from the exterior screen and it actually covers the whole front

[@inobaebee]

Not a fan of these flip phones thing. Reminds me of a women Lip balm. Lol

[@dennisthebrony2022]

8:11 The Galaxy Fold reminds me of the DS/3DS, especially with the folding split screen and S-Pen.

[@SeanDoe86]

You got scammed. How exactly is this refurbished? Nothing about this phone is refurbished. They just labeled it refurbished and did absolutely nothing. Always avoid buying anything that says refurbished

[@nics9840]

The ad for this phone is incredible genuinely the best marketing I’ve seen for a phone.

[@jbxfile20]

Wow nice vid John!

[@user-nd7rd8jo6h]

I got a zfold 5 and i loooooove it. I dont even open it up all that much so the hinge is going to have an exceptionally long life.

[@MagretPereira73]

Hi there! Im One of your subscribers since 2022 who loves all of your videos as always! Please make a video about Motorola Razr V3. Because it was one of my first and most iconic cell phone of 2010. I hope you will. -Thank you!

[@_The_Worst_]

Interesting to see...🤘🏼💯✔️

[@BearOverseer]

Amazing phone! I bought the 2019 razr when it came out and yeah, the speakers are loud, it feels really nice in the hands, the finger print scanner is super quick. I forgot how but I ended up breaking the normal screen so I had to use the small one instead and it works great you can even play old school runescape on it lol! I managed to get it replaced after a few months of using only the small screen and luckily I was sent the 2022/2023(?) version and it's everything plus more. The screen is amazing and has no curve/bump and there is no area for any dust / rocks to get into. The phones unbreakable aswell it's worth the buy!

[@JoeMama-bj9jw]

If the price wasnt so fucking high it would have done better. I wouldnt give the folding too much heat as folding smart phones are like prototype tier currently. They'll improve over time, but price is key and the price is too high

[@dylanlindsay1993]

i once got a zflip 5g first gen off ebay for 88$ i used it for like a month but i was so terrified of breaking it that i sold it to the eco atm at walmart for what i paid for it!

[@LTABITV]

Now that's actually a great investment LOL at least you broke even!

[@emward6858]

I much prefer the original Motorola v3 😁

[@ChristmasMorning1995]

Same

[@alpzepta]

Yeah Lenovo can’t replicate the true Motorola quality especially the part where he failed to close the phone and you can lift up the oled screen with a clipper and even fingernail. Only reason why Thinkpad is so good is because of IBM oh wait Thinkpad aren’t great anymore these days so they lose IBM identity and also Motorola identity when they bought those two companies

[@houstoner]

I'm glad I held off until the 2023 Razr+ as it looks and feels durable compared to this 2019 one.

[@YarugumaSou]

What a pity. I hope they'd return to this design one day. The new ones look boring.

[@frozencowboy6552]

I have the Motorola rzr ultra smart phone. No buttons just the screen. It folds great. I can assure you folding phones are not failing.

[@brockly7916]

I want one for gaming of experimenting for other things... like game modding and other stuff..

[@Myjacob99]

I see you with the Collin abroadcast

[@johnzoid74]

haha love that guy. I traveled to Brazil with my wife in Nov last year and bartered with markets there but didn’t record any of it lol

[@openoid101]

It's 2024 and I'm using RAZR 2019 as a daily phone. My RAZR is still alive and looks gorgeous. Times go by, all samsung's screens cracks and cracks and cracks...But RAZR is still alive. Just because his ancient flexible display is way better quality, than any Samsung's of OPPO's or any other (especially way better than Tecno). I've shoozen silicone, not a useless ''flexible glass'' (dead birthed technology)

[@cristibratu5616]

He's back!

[@johnzoid74]

❤️

[@thereasonableconsumer]

Cool idea, but the screen was creased straight out of the box

[@igeljaeger]

im glad I waited until the fold5 to buy one of these. First impression of this thing is horrible

[@katlynklassen809]

2019 was kind of peak cooky for phones.

[@USArmyVet91]

For 200 dollars, yeah I’d give it a shot. It’s kinda cool.

[@MotorolaFans]

The razr 2019 failed because of delays, components were produced in Wuhan, and very few units went out to retailers. Stock got better 6 months later, when lockdown was taking place. CNET video made it get lot of hate, and tech media hated on its camera and design. Actual phone owners loved it and you can see many verizon, best buy or amazon reviews about it. But Motorola listened to tech media more than its users, and the razr ended up getting more refined into a modern foldable that looks nothing like the original razr, but is very capable. If you ask me, I would take a nostalgic original design over the current razr 2023 phones.

[@gukfilms7441]

ive had the dark pink motorola flipphone when I was in 5th grade. But my sister decided I didn't need it coz I'm the last born (it was given to me by my aunt)

[@_kjt0]

back in my day

[@Rod-bp8ow]

The BRAND MOTOROLA was able to establish a wide clientele amongst the markets. It is not on a loss...since it is able to manufacture millions of items that are still used today, and some of its product lines. It has a promising year(s) ahead.

[@RB2013-jj7kq]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@RabbitWatchShop]

I can see why it failed. Screen looks absolutely atrocious. The obviously noticeable crease is an eyesore. Screen too glossy. For the initial asking price, I’m sure most said nah, used their funds for a flagship iPhone or Samsung, and saved about $400 after tax. Obsolete junk

[@itbwen9672]

Everything said there, was said for the Samsung flip. What's different eh? Shittier screens, very obvious crease, reflective, and fragile mf screen. Your nail would literally leave an indention on the screen of the flips. I'm sure they didn't take their money and got a flip. Ain't saving money with that. 🤷 Can hate all you want. But it's no different than getting a flip. Better reader location than the flip tho. Nicer bsck screen. Comparable hardware. Bout the same price of the flip of the year it released. Man, I can go on, and not based off of a video. Actual hands on my friend. All three brands. The razr was objectively better than the flips, but not Samsungs actual flagships; like the ultra.

[@RabbitWatchShop]

@@itbwen9672 Chill. Go outside.

[@EtanMarlin]

i dont know that id be so aggressive as to call it junk, i mean its kinda cool that they were willing to do something different with the design, kinda cool how they based it off there original phone. definitely obsolete though haha

[@SurvivalSpec]

no u

[@RabbitWatchShop]

@@SurvivalSpec don’t be in your feelings over a failed phone call

I personally dont find the appeal of foldablity in touch phones . Had it been the legacy motorazr , i wud hav considered it a legend

[@Hi_Im_Akward]

I remember seeing ads when it first came out, and thinking it was going to be really expensive junk. Think I was right there.

[@ioanchira1878]

Make an unboxing HTC desire c

[@bwoohk]

The performance is pretty good.

[@H4TTOR1_H4NZO]

I just leave mine open unless it's in my pocket. They just released a new one on boost mobile. The performance is outstanding but the crease on the inter screen gets a little annoying sometimes.

[@johnzoid74]

that’s interesting.. I just feel like I’d end up playing with these so much as a fidget phone lol. I’ll check out the new boost model thanks dude

[@H4TTOR1_H4NZO]

@@johnzoid74 yeah no problem, the boost mobile one is some kind of deal. A coworker bought one and I looked at it, seems pretty legit 👍 it's called coach prime razr.

[@tjcarrillo1901]

Which is better samsung galaxy s20 plus or moto razer 2019

[@QWERTYQwertz852]

S20 plus because of durability and specs But s20 plus also have issues with Green Lines on screen.

[@Faizan-Ali961]

Hi Vsauce, Michael here

[@dogfortgaming3183]

the 2020 razr is way more durable supposedly. that is the one most people used.

[@mshari123]

‏‪1:27‬‏ The screen is broken 😂

[@deano_bites]

This had potential really did

[@victorj.montfort1916]

This phone was just a poor, weak attempt from Motorola trying to relive their glorious days; but failing in the process. It ended up being a spectacular flop. It was stupidly expensive and not at all functional for standars from 2019 and on.

[@mms72]

Cool

[@girlsdrinkfeck]

nice to see the gear VR chilling out there , i wish samsung would make new ones but i guess META dosnt wanna work with them anymore or vise verse sicne it competes against their own standalone headsets

[@rattsjcfanpage01]

That’s why I’m getting the TCL Flip 2, it only costs $30.00 and if you get another one, it won’t cost a lot. Enough with smart phones.

[@andresponce4093]

Heyyy I also watch Colin❗

[@Team974]

Price to spec. That’s why.

[@MrOnlyforcommenting]

Not saying Motorola is a bad phone but in today's world , consumers have plenty of choices to choose from and I can tell you Motorola is definitely not in their mind

[@nnslg]

They should be! I've been using the Moto series for 3 phones now (6 years -- G 5+, G 7+, Edge 30) and they're fantastic. New iphones and Samsungs have a ridiculous amount of bells and whistles you pay for, that I'm thinking the "average" person doesn't use to their full potential. Moto phones are great value for "average" people who just want a regular great phone without having to fork out 1k each time.

[@MrOnlyforcommenting]

@nnslg if you are thinking average phone , there are still plenty options right out there that is hot in the market, redmi , oppo, nothing phone , vivo , honor , xiaomi. I believe motorolo still wont able to match. Not hammering , just saying.

[@georgecostanza2695]

If I had $200 burning a hole in my pocket, I think I’d get myself one of them new Rabbit R1’s to play with.

The reason it failed was because it was silly in the first place. If you bought this silly junk then you're a silly person that doesn't need to be taken seriously for nothing.
