@@womenofgodunited I say you try it, I believe you have a 15 day return window so if you end up not liking it, you can always switch it out for another iPhone!
I went for the standard one and am not in the least regretting it. More than fast enough (actually I don't find it in any way slow) and the pics look fine. The outer screen is perfect, it does all I hoped it would do and more. And no one, I mean no one, pays full price for any Moto, not just these, lol. At launch the Plus already had $100 off making it $200 cheaper than the Flip 6, and for that it's the better deal, period. My base model got 10% off bringing it down to around $620, and that included a free 2 year Moto Care Accidental Damage warranty, not a small thing with these fragile flips. if you wait a bit longer, the prices will drop even more, patience is your friend here. Fantastic flips these two, well worth looking into.
Oh nice! Congrats on the new Razr! Seems like you got yourself one heck of a deal. That warranty is really nice so that's awesome you got it for free. Yep, waiting longer is of course the cake. Razr 2023 versions are down in price dramatically, but I think these 2024 ones are better overall.
@@HeyMarkL No question, I had the base 2023....the new one blows it away. But to be honest, I'm seeing the base 2023 for just over $300 new, so it's still a good entry level flip if you just want to get your feet wet with them.

My only complaint is calling something "vegan leather" lol. It's plastic. Just call it plastic. Ironically making it worse for the environment than actual leather
Yeah that really bugs me, just like PU leather, neither is "leather" they're all one form or another of plastic so we had faux leather, PU leather and now vegan leather, there's nothing leather about any of them. I just bought a "vegan leather" case for my iPhone , there ain't nothing leather about it.
@@Helloss73 I have yet to see faux leather with a realistic texture with all the nice blemishes of real leather. I had a sofa that was 100% genuine leather and it had so much character and was beautiful, now our new sofa is PU leather and all of it just has the same texture repeating the same on the entire sofa with no beautiful blemishes or any character, but hey it was about $4,000nless than what we paid for the real deal.
To those considering getting this phone this year, you might want to wait another more year. The razr 2025 models might get more years of OS upgrades, and a true flagship named "ORION" is in development.
Look trust me on this, I've tried many different phones and Motorola is honestly the best and it has never ever lagged on me and if it did it was probably three times or two times in my entire using , and I have tried like 4 different phones from Motorola because most of my family has bought from them it is like literally super smooth and I have my 2 years old Motorola phone right now and it's honestly so good in terms of lagging and it being smooth,, but the battery started to drain fast in these couple of months probably because my old original charging cable get lost and a i switched to a regular cheap USB c charging cable so it affected the battery. I use my phone a lot like I am 24/7 on my phone. So I don't know just keep an eye on the battery but everything else super good and super smooth and I really recommend it @@JC-zj2is

Funny that all reviewers are saying they would rather keep the ultrawide instead of telephoto. I have only used an ultrawide camera mode a single time in the last maybe 5-6 years, while I use telephoto 2x and 3.3x more often than regular camera mode
Oh trust me, I'd rather have a 3.3x zoom lens. My point in the video is that it's a dumb move by Motorola by ONLY having a 2x zoom when it could've been a 3x or 3.3x or 4x. The 2x digital on the main 50-megapixel sensor is strong enough and normal Razr can do it too.
If you're going to buy the RAZR 2024 standard why not consider RAZR 2023 plus with android 14? You get a faster processor, higher refresh, dust resistance and probably better camera and it's cheaper!

I liked my 2023 Razr a lot! But yesterday I saw this phone online BARELY and instantly went in for a free upgrade to this new beauty for 0$ I'm in love with the external display upgrade it's fucking stunning for day to day use I'm a happy customer.
As a new user to flip phones, I love the ultra, this thing is rad and blends what I loved about flip phones from the early 2000s with modern tech. Today I ran into an interesting predicament trying to use Google maps and playing Pandora at the same time on the external screen. It works, but I couldn't get maps to show full screen. Overall I love it!
I just bought a Moto Razr 2024 (50) for $350 on Walmart last week. Too good of a deal to not go with the Razr instead of the Galaxy Flip. This phones been pretty good. The only downsides to me are: I hear Motorola is very slow about updating their software compared to other companies like Samsung. I also noticed very minor and minuscule issues with apps sometimes like TH-cam may be a little of center; but I usually can close/lock the phone and it fixes itself.
I think if I get last year's razr plus over this year's regular razr u still get the same screen size but much better chip and cameras. On the razr plus 23 over the razr 24. Also the razr plus 23 is cheaper then the razr 24.
Again, Canada is starved for colour options. All carriers have Midnight Blue, Rogers also offers Hot Pink. Nice throwback to the original Razr. But I really like that Peach colour.
They don't even offer the cheaper version and two colors only?? I don't understand why they do that, why can they offer the same colors,??? Basically forcing us to drive across the border and buy one from Buffalo if ever your making a day trip to Niagara falls or order one online and pay custom and duties
All Motorola razors in my opinion are the best flip phones out there whether it is the razor razor Plus or the razor 50 all of them are excellent Love mines
Were you at the Motorola Razr + party with Paris Hilton? That's iconic! lol I love my Motorola Razr+ 2023 flip phone. I was kinda mad I bought it a couple months before they launched this new upgraded one lol
Moto, please bring the Razr 50 to India! The specs like the Dimensity 7300X and the pOLED display setup look amazing. I need that 3.6-inch cover screen in my life.
I'm really digging the design of the Moto Razr 50. That pOLED display is going to be fire! Hopefully, it's priced right for the Indian market. Additionally, the reliable mediatek chipset also seems very promising one!
great review, thank you so much as this helped me a lot! I haven't bought motorola in 10+ years (been pingponging between samsung and google pixels) and am finally going to bite the bullet and go for it this upcoming black friday! also as a genshin impact player i laughed when i saw you running traveler, amber, dead kaeya, and lisa at 5:23. Would have been perfect if you'd played Razor (if you have him)
It's basically going to come down to the versatility and utilization of the outer display in regards to flip phones. Thus far, the Razr ultra beats the flip 6 in that department since this is one of the main reasons to get a flip phone aside from them being compact.
I have the iPhone 15 pro max right now but was eyeing this one or the Samsung fold 6 ended up getting this one as my back up phone can’t wait to get it
I disagree with the L on the wide angle lens. The main sensor is already plenty wide at 24mm. Anything wider than that will distort the image, especially human subjects, vs a telephoto, which is much more useful for portrait capture and better zoom quality. 35mm - 50mm lens after all is the golden zone for taking pictures of people and animals. OEMs do lots of consumer research to make these decisions, and consumer surveys say most people preferred a tele lens instead
Everything is relative. I have an ancient iPhone 6s. The standard Razr MUST be better than that, right? The biggest thing for me (besides price) is being able to zoom in. Will the standard Razr do that? Also, transferring all my stuff from old iPhone to Razr concerns me. Is it easy for a non-techie to do? Lastly, I can get a good deal with my carrier and pay over time. No free warranty, however, and I don't want to pay $7 a month indefinity. I'm careful with my stuff so hopefully I'll be okay. Would appreciate your wisdom on my questions! Thanks!
I’m not sure what to say on the other things but transferring your data is easy to do if you have a lighting to usb-c cable is how I did it and it was quick and easy
The one thing I'm not sure about, is that if you've bought into the samsung ecosystem is that you won't have your routines from samsung. All your smart lights, tv's etc no long work with things that you've set up with smart things which is kind of a bummer. I'd really like to get this, but unfortunately may be cornered into getting a samsung
Is it me or are the regular Razr internal and external screens flickering a LOT in the video? I've heard of people trying to measure and capture flicker rates but that's in a dark room with a dark screen. It looks like the phone's at a normal-to-high brightness in a well-lit room.
That’s cause I was filming at a high frame rate and the external screen mismatched the frequency. It’s totally fine in the real world! Both in bright or dim lighting
Thank you for explaining what happened! The initial flickering was something like a minute in while scrolling on the interior display. I think it's probably the same problem you described though 👍
Just ordered mine. Xfinity has $400 off without trade in and the 2024 is only $499 so I just paid $100 for it. I can not wait to finally have a phone that has wireless charging. I refuse to pay 1k for a phone to get this feature which is usually the case. I think many people forget some of us don't care that much about taking pictures or gaming. It seems to be the assumption that is what everyone wants so reviews are skewed that way.
If only there was a 300 $ affordable option for this with great specs and a 5000mah battery i would buy it immediately. They really market there only in the premium category. Samsung is doing some effort to lower prices but it is for last years models.
I've own the Razr 50 Ultra now for about 3 weeks and have to say that there are still some bugs. If I try to use the camera for a video, it doesn't matter if it's in 4k or 1080p with or without H.265 enabled, it stutters. Also it seems to be in a kind of "wake up" mode when you start using it, as the screen isn't as smooth at it should be. It recovers after about 30 seconds and it's fast again. I don't know if it's an app in the background, software issues with the CPU or anything else. I still hope for an sw update to fix everything. I already opened a case at Motorola for this.
Got the Moto40, way less bloatware than...Only 3 gripes are the front Camera is pretty ordinary😢 however photos a lot better in " high resolution"😊Along with not being dust proof or waterproof. .also find the drop down menu is way easier to use, than Samsung. Flip6 would tic all the boxes. Thanx 4 the review.😊
Hey Mark, Thanks for the review! I know this is a specific question but do you know if external mics can work with either model? I would assume you'd need a usb-C connector but I've had phones that just didn't support external mics at all and its kinda of key for me and the videos I do.
Regular, non content creator especially Gen-Z prefer “.5” aka UW cameras just fyi. I think it’s dumb to have a 2x zoom lens when main is capable of it. Would’ve been better if it’s a 3.2x or 4x optical tbh.
Moto's internal research said the opposite. Dunno if they broke it down by age group in which case, sure gen z prefers the UW. Maybe they're thinking younger kids with iPhone pro money will go Samsung anyway. Keeping the UW in their cheaper phone gets them more market share and possibly the more tech obsessed buyer for whom the better cover screen is appealing that has $1000 is a slightly older age group? As an elder millennial, I don't use the UW that much, a better portrait or zoom shot (mostly for my cats lol) is preferred and the exterior screen is a huge draw, even at a grand. @@HeyMarkL
I totally agree with your review. The ONE big item you did not cover is minimal bloatware on the Razr. Samsung is full of unnecessary bloatware that kills the battery. I have a Samsung zfold and the bloatware is horrendous.... Cannot be paused or deleted and Samsung confirmed that to me face to face. The Samsung employee informed me that bloatware is the largest complaint Samsung receives from owners.
I have the RAZR 2023 (Viva Magenta T-Mobile U.S.) and would love to upgrade. But my only and main issue is what am I getting? The fact that it is a tiny "bleeping" 256gb and 512bg base yet for increasing MP and this and this is a hard no for me. Once I heard that I was done no matter what. Power this and all that is already fine so I am so surprised no reviewer ever is discussing this. With all the camera increasing and video these days this should be a main issue to be discussed esp for a "so called" upgrade. Now I live my RAZE 2023 but will be waiting for 2025 version or ideally a 512gb with option external microSD would be the oerfect scenerario!!! I have many great pics and edit videos on my phone and have done so many things in it so it is just very disappointed in not having a 512gb esp for people who really use these great phones. Also in 2024 I feel the base for any higher end phone should only be 512gb and up! I had read there was a 512gb version but checked various websites and T-mobile and there was not any option for 512gb! Still will always choose RAZR over Samsung and fet many compliments on my photos and videos even without processing on the RAZR! Also Green is my fav color so was also double disappointed not to be able to get the new green color due to the same low 256gb as the previous version. But also perhaps is also good not to upgrade each year which in the past I prefer to finish paying off a phone until getting a new one so I own it. The only phone I ever bought outright because could not get on carrier in the U.S.A. was Blackberry Passport SE.
It's a big miss on the + model not to include the ultrawide lens. I don't understand where their information is coming from that more people want the telephoto... I seriously doubt it. I simply would not buy a phone that doesn't have ultrawide. Also, I think a lot of people want to buy these phones for the excellent selfie quality due to being able to use the main cameras. It's a win-win situation to have a flip phone with ultrawide lens, and be able to use that for selfie/vlog style pictures or videos, showing yourself plus your entire environment; and they turned that win-win into a lose-lose proposition.
I hate the fact that I'm forced to replace my Moto razor plus 2023 because I dropped it and I only had it 10 months I know I had insurance I still had payments on it and I'm looking at the 2024 the Plus and the regular one is hard to decide which to choose cuz going from plus to Plus does it seem like it's equal . And paying $900 for a phone is ridiculous
I prefer the telephoto i do alot of content creation and take photos of my clients. I never use the ultra wide on my iPhone. The razr is perfection! So happy with my decision to preorder
The fact that the outer display lets you access all the apps natively, knocks it out of the park.

Oh wow! That’s a worthy upgrade then! Hope it’s been a good experience for ya so far.
A razr mini would be perfect
Forget flip phones. I want my slider keyboard back..
As a new user to flip phones, I love the ultra, this thing is rad and blends what I loved about flip phones from the early 2000s with modern tech. Today I ran into an interesting predicament trying to use Google maps and playing Pandora at the same time on the external screen. It works, but I couldn't get maps to show full screen. Overall I love it!
The maps thing could be a settings on the external display or just have to force it to take up the entire full screen.
Thanks! Sorta figured it was user error on my part but all in all I love this new model!
i watched towards the end to see which one you choosed thank you beyond brother!
Appreciate you! Glad you stuck around to the end.
I bought the regular 50 orange today and its awsome its my secondary phone mi main phone is a fold6, thanks to your review
Thanks for tuning in! Seems like a lot of people use the Regular Razr as their secondary phone! That’s neat.
kindly tell me what is better Samsung galaxy flip 6 or moto rzr 50
I just bought a Moto Razr 2024 (50) for $350 on Walmart last week. Too good of a deal to not go with the Razr instead of the Galaxy Flip. This phones been pretty good. The only downsides to me are: I hear Motorola is very slow about updating their software compared to other companies like Samsung. I also noticed very minor and minuscule issues with apps sometimes like TH-cam may be a little of center; but I usually can close/lock the phone and it fixes itself.
Edit: Off*** not "of center"
I think if I get last year's razr plus over this year's regular razr u still get the same screen size but much better chip and cameras. On the razr plus 23 over the razr 24. Also the razr plus 23 is cheaper then the razr 24.
Acting like it's the original flip razr at 00:32 just no. NEVER do that again. You are going to scratch the screen you psychopath 😭
Again, Canada is starved for colour options. All carriers have Midnight Blue, Rogers also offers Hot Pink. Nice throwback to the original Razr. But I really like that Peach colour.
Oh I didn't know Canada even had them, all I see are iphones and Samsung.
They don't even offer the cheaper version and two colors only?? I don't understand why they do that, why can they offer the same colors,??? Basically forcing us to drive across the border and buy one from Buffalo if ever your making a day trip to Niagara falls or order one online and pay custom and duties
If they could just make this phone a tad wider to compensate for the tall aspect ratio it would be a straight cop for me personally speaking
Oh hundred percent agreed on this. If it was maybe a bit shorter, and a tad bit wider it would be more ideal.
Loving the idea of a bigger 3.6" display on the Razr 2024! With the Dimensity 7300X chip, it’s bound to be smooth!
Got my razr 2024 from Total wireless 199 and it's only locked for 2 months I call that a win
I bought mine in the Orange burst color for $760. I really love what they did, just hope it survives 😂
All Motorola razors in my opinion are the best flip phones out there whether it is the razor razor Plus or the razor 50 all of them are excellent Love mines
Were you at the Motorola Razr + party with Paris Hilton? That's iconic! lol I love my Motorola Razr+ 2023 flip phone. I was kinda mad I bought it a couple months before they launched this new upgraded one lol
Moto, please bring the Razr 50 to India! The specs like the Dimensity 7300X and the pOLED display setup look amazing. I need that 3.6-inch cover screen in my life.
it arrived.. !! pre-booked on amzn today..
I'm really digging the design of the Moto Razr 50. That pOLED display is going to be fire! Hopefully, it's priced right for the Indian market. Additionally, the reliable mediatek chipset also seems very promising one!
great review, thank you so much as this helped me a lot!
I haven't bought motorola in 10+ years (been pingponging between samsung and google pixels) and am finally going to bite the bullet and go for it this upcoming black friday!
also as a genshin impact player i laughed when i saw you running traveler, amber, dead kaeya, and lisa at 5:23. Would have been perfect if you'd played Razor (if you have him)
love moto phones but one thing stoping me from going back is the updates
It's basically going to come down to the versatility and utilization of the outer display in regards to flip phones. Thus far, the Razr ultra beats the flip 6 in that department since this is one of the main reasons to get a flip phone aside from them being compact.
I've been loyal to my LG Thinq, but I can't wait to get the Razr 50! How is the crease after a few months, please? That's my biggest concern.
Isnt razr plus 2023 better than razr 2024
The combination of the Moto Razr 50's design and the Dimensity 7300X chipset promises a seamless user experience. Can’t wait to try it out!
I love this phone, I had the flip 5 before and the razr 50 ultra is waaaaay better
I have the iPhone 15 pro max right now but was eyeing this one or the Samsung fold 6 ended up getting this one as my back up phone can’t wait to get it
I disagree with the L on the wide angle lens. The main sensor is already plenty wide at 24mm. Anything wider than that will distort the image, especially human subjects, vs a telephoto, which is much more useful for portrait capture and better zoom quality. 35mm - 50mm lens after all is the golden zone for taking pictures of people and animals. OEMs do lots of consumer research to make these decisions, and consumer surveys say most people preferred a tele lens instead
I just bought the Razr 40 ultra for 400 bucks and love it! cant stop watching netflix on that little ol screen! 😂😂😂
Everything is relative. I have an ancient iPhone 6s. The standard Razr MUST be better than that, right? The biggest thing for me (besides price) is being able to zoom in. Will the standard Razr do that? Also, transferring all my stuff from old iPhone to Razr concerns me. Is it easy for a non-techie to do? Lastly, I can get a good deal with my carrier and pay over time. No free warranty, however, and I don't want to pay $7 a month indefinity. I'm careful with my stuff so hopefully I'll be okay. Would appreciate your wisdom on my questions! Thanks!
I’m not sure what to say on the other things but transferring your data is easy to do if you have a lighting to usb-c cable is how I did it and it was quick and easy
The one thing I'm not sure about, is that if you've bought into the samsung ecosystem is that you won't have your routines from samsung. All your smart lights, tv's etc no long work with things that you've set up with smart things which is kind of a bummer. I'd really like to get this, but unfortunately may be cornered into getting a samsung
Is it me or are the regular Razr internal and external screens flickering a LOT in the video?
I've heard of people trying to measure and capture flicker rates but that's in a dark room with a dark screen. It looks like the phone's at a normal-to-high brightness in a well-lit room.
That’s cause I was filming at a high frame rate and the external screen mismatched the frequency. It’s totally fine in the real world! Both in bright or dim lighting
Thank you for explaining what happened! The initial flickering was something like a minute in while scrolling on the interior display. I think it's probably the same problem you described though 👍
If there was only a black color for the 50 ultra, i love the phone
Just ordered mine. Xfinity has $400 off without trade in and the 2024 is only $499 so I just paid $100 for it. I can not wait to finally have a phone that has wireless charging. I refuse to pay 1k for a phone to get this feature which is usually the case. I think many people forget some of us don't care that much about taking pictures or gaming. It seems to be the assumption that is what everyone wants so reviews are skewed that way.
Are you sure you got the razr 2024? It's $599 for me while last year's razr is $499.
If only there was a 300 $ affordable option for this with great specs and a 5000mah battery i would buy it immediately. They really market there only in the premium category. Samsung is doing some effort to lower prices but it is for last years models.
Can anyone update how the phone is holding up now? Durability, battery life etc. Thanks :)
Rarz 50 ultra is the Flip to have
I've own the Razr 50 Ultra now for about 3 weeks and have to say that there are still some bugs. If I try to use the camera for a video, it doesn't matter if it's in 4k or 1080p with or without H.265 enabled, it stutters. Also it seems to be in a kind of "wake up" mode when you start using it, as the screen isn't as smooth at it should be. It recovers after about 30 seconds and it's fast again. I don't know if it's an app in the background, software issues with the CPU or anything else. I still hope for an sw update to fix everything. I already opened a case at Motorola for this.
I have one n it's the best phone I ever owned hands down
Moto now has nice premium and good mid range razr, now they need a entry level $400 razr with a sanpdragon 4 or Dimensity 6300
Do i have to worry about getting a black line in the crease of the phone
It's usable?
Can't find that wallpaper you downloaded from outside?
can you have phone conversations while it is folded?
Question how often do you actually take ultra wide pics? Cuz I've taken like 3 in my whole life
Got the Moto40, way less bloatware than...Only 3 gripes are the front Camera is pretty ordinary😢 however photos a lot better in " high resolution"😊Along with not being dust proof or waterproof. .also find the drop down menu is way easier to use, than Samsung. Flip6 would tic all the boxes. Thanx 4 the review.😊
Hey Mark, Thanks for the review! I know this is a specific question but do you know if external mics can work with either model? I would assume you'd need a usb-C connector but I've had phones that just didn't support external mics at all and its kinda of key for me and the videos I do.
Hey! Thanks for tuning in 🙌🏼 - as far as I’m aware it should work if you have USB C connector for your mic.
I'd say most NEED an UW camera....they just THINK they need it and only use it 10% of the time. (Regular, non-content creator people)
Regular, non content creator especially Gen-Z prefer “.5” aka UW cameras just fyi. I think it’s dumb to have a 2x zoom lens when main is capable of it. Would’ve been better if it’s a 3.2x or 4x optical tbh.
Moto's internal research said the opposite. Dunno if they broke it down by age group in which case, sure gen z prefers the UW. Maybe they're thinking younger kids with iPhone pro money will go Samsung anyway. Keeping the UW in their cheaper phone gets them more market share and possibly the more tech obsessed buyer for whom the better cover screen is appealing that has $1000 is a slightly older age group? As an elder millennial, I don't use the UW that much, a better portrait or zoom shot (mostly for my cats lol) is preferred and the exterior screen is a huge draw, even at a grand. @@HeyMarkL
Any experience of slow responsiveness or camera shutter lag when the phone gets hot?
Im switching to this from s23 ultra. Hope its not disappointing conpared to the current phone i have been using.
I'm between the razr 50 Or the Google pixel 8 Pro, which you think is better between both. Thank you!
Anybody has had it for a while? How does it hold up?
How long will the phone receive software support from Motorola?
how is it with Bluetooth?
Man this phone looks great, but only 3 years of updates is a deal breaker
No one keeping same phone anyway for 3yrs something else will have came out by then
@@sonny79ddefinitely not true. People are definitely holding onto their phones longer
Great video Man ! Keep up the great work !
Thank you so much man! 🙏🏼
@@HeyMarkL :) 😅🙂 👍 Hope Your Staying Hydrated With Some Water Man ! 🙂
I totally agree with your review. The ONE big item you did not cover is minimal bloatware on the Razr. Samsung is full of unnecessary bloatware that kills the battery. I have a Samsung zfold and the bloatware is horrendous.... Cannot be paused or deleted and Samsung confirmed that to me face to face. The Samsung employee informed me that bloatware is the largest complaint Samsung receives from owners.
Is this better than the Galaxy flip 6? I wanted it but couldnt afford it so I got this
I still prefer the 2019 older design more, I really liked the chin
What car gane was he playing?
I have the RAZR 2023 (Viva Magenta T-Mobile U.S.) and would love to upgrade. But my only and main issue is what am I getting? The fact that it is a tiny "bleeping" 256gb and 512bg base yet for increasing MP and this and this is a hard no for me. Once I heard that I was done no matter what. Power this and all that is already fine so I am so surprised no reviewer ever is discussing this. With all the camera increasing and video these days this should be a main issue to be discussed esp for a "so called" upgrade. Now I live my RAZE 2023 but will be waiting for 2025 version or ideally a 512gb with option external microSD would be the oerfect scenerario!!!
I have many great pics and edit videos on my phone and have done so many things in it so it is just very disappointed in not having a 512gb esp for people who really use these great phones. Also in 2024 I feel the base for any higher end phone should only be 512gb and up!
I had read there was a 512gb version but checked various websites and T-mobile and there was not any option for 512gb!
Still will always choose RAZR over Samsung and fet many compliments on my photos and videos even without processing on the RAZR!
Also Green is my fav color so was also double disappointed not to be able to get the new green color due to the same low 256gb as the previous version.
But also perhaps is also good not to upgrade each year which in the past I prefer to finish paying off a phone until getting a new one so I own it.
The only phone I ever bought outright because could not get on carrier in the U.S.A. was Blackberry Passport SE.
What texting apps does everyone use for theirs?
It's a big miss on the + model not to include the ultrawide lens. I don't understand where their information is coming from that more people want the telephoto... I seriously doubt it. I simply would not buy a phone that doesn't have ultrawide. Also, I think a lot of people want to buy these phones for the excellent selfie quality due to being able to use the main cameras. It's a win-win situation to have a flip phone with ultrawide lens, and be able to use that for selfie/vlog style pictures or videos, showing yourself plus your entire environment; and they turned that win-win into a lose-lose proposition.
Can you take a phone call when it's closed?
In speaker mode you definitely can.
Hinge still sucks. Once it feels like a Samsung hinge and they get there updates right then maybe
Hinge on the Razr 50 Ultra / Razr+ is maybe slightly less stiff than the new Flip 6. Source: I just compared both while replying to you lol
I have both the flip 6 and razr 50 ultra and the hinge is great on both. Maybe ever so slightly stiffer on the flip 6 but very happy with both
Does anyone know which years the razr has a physical sim slot? I heard some only have esim capabilities.
I hate the fact that I'm forced to replace my Moto razor plus 2023 because I dropped it and I only had it 10 months I know I had insurance I still had payments on it and I'm looking at the 2024 the Plus and the regular one is hard to decide which to choose cuz going from plus to Plus does it seem like it's equal . And paying $900 for a phone is ridiculous
Best ever flip phone, beating samsung, but I can't find call recording in this,please let me know where it is.
But the camera suuuucks though :( :( :( Otherwise I would get this thang in a second
Anyone know how to turn on the reverse charging thing on this phone? The lady from the store showed me but I forgot 😅
I really just like the flip phone feature and the fact that they have a pink option everything else tho I don’t like or care for lmao
I prefer the telephoto i do alot of content creation and take photos of my clients. I never use the ultra wide on my iPhone. The razr is perfection! So happy with my decision to preorder
Are Flip Phones Long Lasting ?????
