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 😄

[@chasenhorizons]

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.

It's better now that it's three years instead of two but other than that, typical Moto fashion is to be quick on updates the first year, and then go to almost snail pace when the new version is out. Also when the support ends they are basically worthless. Even the kiosks I tried didn't want it.

[@TheMrMobile]

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.

[@DanielleWhite]

[@sandorbence2067]

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).

[@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.

[@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.

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.

[@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

[@NB_Cowboy]

Not surprised to hear your issues w/ the repair! I recently got my fold 5 repaired (somehow separated the inner screen led and protector), and looking around told me Samsung has the same issue of not sending any details to them. After I made the appointment I just called the place and thankfully they had parts, but it sounds like it's an issue across multiple brands

Does it have the ability to magnetically stick to wireless charger (at 14:21)? If so I had no idea that the Motorolas could do that.

[@bradenfitzpatrick8352]

It sticks magnetically to that charger - but I think it's incidental attraction from the magnets that hold the flip closed. There's no official Qi2 certification for Razr.

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.

[@supersnail5000]

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.

[@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.

BUT, that said, more than I care to count: my phone has fallen from my bike's top-tube bag on singletrack and even on paved rail-trails (my fault for not securing the bag) and the phone survived mostly unscathed. I don't have a case for it (didn't like any of the ones I tried) and the only scratch is on the outside screen and I can't recall how that happened. Now, on rides when I need a fast camera with excellent pictures, I bring my 5a along for the ride...which is why I got the RAZR+: for the smaller footprint...now, I'm bringing two phones.

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.

[@ragamjagoan5862]

​@@TheMrMobile thanks a lot Mr. Mobile, we will wait for your review ❤

[@andrewdrakehallfr5406]

Looking forward to the fold 6 review. I decided to upgrade from my fold3 finally (also use the flip5 for daily at work for the size) so I'm looking forward to your opinion on it.

[@bioaudi4131]

It's been so long since you've uploaded video, Hope you always stay healthy mr mobile 💪💪

[@BOBimusRex]

Can you rotate the outer screen? Either through basic settings, or with a third party rotation control app? 4:48 Nevermind... Pretty sweet...

[@manavaggarwal8374]

Michael Fiaher and foldables is never ending love story, only Michael gives best foldables review because he is the only one who loves them and use them in tech world.

[@pizana2012]

I have a 24 ultra but these moto razrs have been on my radar for awhile and I am digging the changes this year.

[@raidersfanallday]

Just got the razr 2024 for $200

[@GoldenBeholden]

3:50 is the screen flicker on the cheaper model just the camera playing tricks on us, or does the more expensive model have a flicker-free screen? I understand it wouldn't be this bad in-person, but I'm personally quite sensitive to screen flicker.

[@shailendras1881]

Can't decide which color to buy for razr plus 2024?..is the hot pink same as viva magenta as last year?

[@krazzyrahul8092]

Good old days of using winamp 🎵

[@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.

[@Auror37]

This guy always makes me want to buy a new phone, ... and eat chocolate...not sure why.

[@Auror37]

I bought the Razr Plus 2024 and I love it!

[@liamcollinson5695]

I am still not convinced by foldable phones but they do seem to be improving my main concerns is the fragile screens that all the reviewers leave out and battery life can be worse than a standard phone particularly in this flip format

[@kofei]

The updates killl me. If they were faster with those i would just go and buy it like now😢

[@tremarley9648]

Nowerdays there are barely any changes between updates. Why are the lack of updates a deterrent?

[@dragon2knight]

@@tremarley9648 It's not so much just the OS updates as it shows how well a company is going to support their products. Moto has been horrible on that front and they are showing zero signs of fixing this. You spend that kind of cash on a phone, you need to know it's going to be supported. If it isn't, well, just buy a Chinese flip phone then, you'll get the same level of "support" from there as well.

[@PixelatedH2O]

Well they aren't even on sale yet, at least in the US

[@jeffchandler3390]

It might be because it was sold as a business phone, but my Moto think phone gets monthly updates.

[@PixelatedH2O]

@@jeffchandler3390 Monthly security updates are a pretty common thing amongst all phones

[@JoshuaBrown-ud5ui]

Battery life is incredible for a flip phone plus I am quite impressed with the battery. A killer smartphone so within budget and Mediatek SoC.

[@hououinkyouma1458]

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

[@TheMrMobile]

It's a mess, everywhere.

[@JasonMcFadden]

I've been an iPhone user for years. Coming from iPhone 12 Pro, I'm now daily driving the orange razr 2024 and am very impressed by both the phone and Android. I plan to use both unlocked phones but am making the razr my primary. The outside screen is great to use for many apps. Loving it so far. Will see how the hinge and crease hold up over the coming months. The crease is surprisingly small and hardly noticeable is normal usage.

[@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!

[@michaeljamesm]

7:24 does the hinge work better than the previous ones I hope? the screen crease decay on the z flip style phones is really bad the razr 5g 2020 still seems like the best implementation mine still hasn’t got a crease nearing 4 years

[@SomethingsoniQ]

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?

[@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.

[@ikongod]

I did it. I pulled the trigger on the Razr+. Thankfully I've had you showing me all the flips since they came to fruition. That made the decision to jump in on foldables in this moment with this phone simple. Thank you for all the help and entertainment.

[@ifoo]

Mine broke after 1.5 months of light use. This phone sucks.

[@turnbasedtoddy7664]

Can I just say I appreciate you actually using a good aspect ratio I. Your videos for how phones screens are these days! 16 x 9 just doesn’t cut it anymore

[@盾神京矢]

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.

[@trytongolem]

In 14:21 you put it on a magnetic charger, does the razr has a magnetic wireless charging or was it some sort of case or tag?

[@mokujin29]

Winamp...SO MANY YEARS since I thought of it, that used to be such a big part of my computing life back in the day. Here's to go the good Ole' days of Demonoid, Limewire, and Napster

[@onepunchbud1472]

Good times indeed 👍

[@TheSniMaster]

What are your thoughts on the colors. I love the red from last year but I can’t tell if the hot pink is more red or more pink 😅

[@doubleyousee72]

Question, did you have an issue with but dialing with the mini screen?

[@DanielOrtegoUSA]

I stumbled on this video by accident, but I’m glad I did. I was on the ground floor with Motorola phones, and I do miss their industrial designs from that era. The RAZR+ appeals to me because of the straightforward no-nonsense feature set. Sometimes less is better. ✌️

[@ibraheemmonks8866]

Ive had every Z flip available and every single one of them has ended it's life due to wear and tear. My current Z flip 5 has a yellow line going half way across the crease due to a minor drop 8 months ago, as well as a deep scratch on the screen also along the crease. The camera lense is also cracked as is the cover screen. As much as I love foldable phones I think im ready to switch back to normal ones. The cameras and battery life are the main problem, lagging behind competitors and the unique aspect ratio makes common apps like snapchat a pain to use. Durability is also a major issue with every phone developing some sort of issue along the crease after around half a year to a year of use. The cover screen for me doesn't offer enough features as of right now to make the phone worth the sacrifices and I sometimes use it simply to make use of it. Give it 5 years and I believe these phones will be fantastic, right now though is too early.

[@Bread_n_Butter.]

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.
