I bought this phone two months ago and I like it so much more than my Samsung A53 slab phone. Unfortunately I damaged the screen a couple of weeks ago and had to send it to Ft Worth, TX, for repair. Motorola treated me very well, with no hassles or big bills, they just replaced the screen and mailed it back to me at no charge. My experience with contacting them was simple, too. I talked to a very polite woman who asked me for my phone number, then she did almost all the rest. IMO, it's a great phone from a solid and helpful company, and I'd recommend it to a friend. I forgot to mention that they threw in a nice freebie in the package with my returned phone- a "Motorola Turbo Charger" with cable. I have other fast chargers, but the phone recognizes this one differently in that it lights up a unique "Turbo charge" logo on the display.
Any charger that's more than 10w (what they USED to pack with their phones) will be recognized as TURBO POWER charging. I got a 20w brick and cable (5a or 100w)from Amazon and it says turbo power when I plug it in. Just so you know going forward
I love my Moto Razr. The only bad thing is that when I'm holding someone else's phone like when they're showing me something on their phone I try to bend it out of habit when I'm done since I'm used to doing that now lol
So which razr is the best? I’m planning to buy one and this is my first phone that “flips” and I’m liking the big razr with the big screen compared to the little screen on the cheaper version. Which one would you recommend will be best for everyday use?
@@DevonTanks1 I have the small one which feels great in your pocket. The battery life has been terrible tho. Even with the battery saver on it still sucks. Don't know if it's just my phone or all the razrs
Got mine yesterday on a special for 300 dollars. Really great deal and very nostalgic experience takes me back to when razor owned the cell phone market
Have had my sage green Razr 2023 for months now and absolutely love it. No bugs encountered, main display is fantastic, I don't mind the small external display at all. I actually prefer it to the Plus' large display that looks like it would be very vulnerable to damage from dropping the Plus. The photos/videos of the Razr 2023 are fine for me. Call quality is also very good. One can get the Razr 2023 for as little as $199.99 from MVNOs such as Cricket Wireless and Boost Mobile. Boost Mobile's network coverage and quality has improved *dramatically* to what it was before.
@@ianwest1624It's not all that bad. Nothing like larger phones, though. Under heavy use it lasts about 5.5 hours and under medium use it can easily last a day.
As I mentioned above, Motorola treated me great when I accidently damaged the screen- I had hit the screen with the side of my wedding ring just near the edge by the hinge- and Motorola gave me a FedEx label to print, repaired it, and mailed it back to me all free of charge. That makes me really satisfied that I made a good choice.
I can't wait to get this phone, all I want is the bare essential facilities on that front screen. Personally I don't see the point in having a fully functional front screen??
i also like when you setup a pin for lockscreen, you have the ability to "scramble" the numbers around just incase people are watching you put in your pin so they wont remember it!
Usually Motorolas have it in their phones when u changing password somewhere there's a option to scramble words or number to make it difficult for someone to get in@@marshsthrone9572
Once the technology improves which makes sense moe that I look at why their slow to implement features they focus on refinement of the experience instead of the newest features that break the phone 😂
I just got one and I am really loving it. The folding is great for me since larger phones fall out of my pockets and the texture makes it not slide off my clothing.
My main concern is battery. My current phone has a 5200mAh battery and can do almost 48 hours of light use, or easily survive a 10 hour shift of streaming music over wifi to bluetooth buds. I don't often have access to a plug at work, so I'm just concerned a drop in capacity would be a huge loss of convenience for me. So basically I'm torn between the form factor of a folding phone (alliteration) and the bigger battery in the Moto G power.
After 4 months of use as my main phone, all i can say is... it's actually pretty damn cool i haven't had any issue with it nor the screen. In case of any issue i'll come back.
I love my phone, I really like how the crease fold feels on my thumb when I scroll. I wish they had the hyptic vibrate function on the crease when u scroll 😅
I haven't seen such a pleasant to watch review in a while! You're style is very satisfying, with great points followed by concise explanations. I really mean this since I pretty much never comment :)
My Razr only lasted couple months. I do cut grass and think the dust killed it. Sent it back and we'll see if they fix it. Would like a better cover on the outside fold for dust.
Is this Phone like the old flip phones as far as open to answer close to hang up? Looking for something simple to use for my dad to call/answer with. Thanks
I've had one for about 6 weeks. I also have a Samsung S23. I paid £480 for the Razr 40 and I think it's a brilliant phone for that price. The cameras are surprisingly good and with two recent camera updates I getting better results with my Motorola. The post processing of JPEGs is surprisingly good, especially in low light.
I currently have a Moto G Power (2121 version) that I like except for when I'm riding my e-bike. I don't trust handlebar phone holders yet, so the phone is in my front pocket. Some of my pants have rather short and scary front pockets and makes my Moto frighten. The Razr 40 is looking like a dream come true for me.
I have the Plus and in my opinion it's the best foldable phone anyone has made yet. The cover screen is so functional that there are entire days I to without flipping it once. I highly recommend paying the extra for the flagship plus model.
I personaly don't take many videos on my s20fe...but i like to have a prety good camers for the rare moments when i actualy have a use for it. So the razr 40 looks promisong but i need to feel one in my hands and use it for some time to see before i make such a choise. The only foldables i touched were from samsung, a few folds and one or 2 flips and the feel was amazing. Plus a goodish camera. I can imagine the feel of razr40 to be somewhat similar. And i find useful the small screen on the exterior of the clam, realy usefull plus you dont realy need to open it up all day just to check on a notification. Thank you for the in depth review, very useful. I will consider this phone,, or Razr in general
Could you please confirm if this phone can run dual eSIM at once like the iPhone? And cando wifi calling both of the eSIMs when on Airplane mode? Thank you.
I like to have my phones for at least 3 years. I had the flip 3 and about a year in the crease got so bad I could not read that part of the screen. I have a feeling all of these flip phones have these problems for people who want to have their phones for a few years.
I love the Motorola Razr 2023 that I have. Only issue I am having though is that I've only had between 2-3 months and sometimes when I close it, hit the power button, or like yesterday, just have it open, it shuts down completely. Sometimes it doesn't come back when I hold the power button, sometimes it does. I believe it's a software issue, any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated because I really do not want another phone. Especially since I'm still financing it as well. Thank you.
I really like the idea of this phone . I have an iPhone and just hate how much it costs just to have an iPhone with the damn “storage fee and music fee and blah blah blah” like it’s annoying . But this phone just looks amazing
Best part about the motorola phone are the motions for the flashlight and camera! There is a dead pixel on the phone after a few months of using it, but it's not a problem.
Definitely selling me more on this phone with the RuneScape feed. Lol knowing I'll be able to still enjoy my favorite game is nice to know. Since some phones I've had in the past didn't like running old school or rs3.
def gonna buy the razr 2023 i wanna try the new flip phones just didnt wanna spend a arm and a leg if i didnt like emm. so this is perfect for me. i do wish they had other colors then just green.
I bought a razor 2023 and nine months later the screen tore from the middle were the crease is at in the middle that sucked and I didn't drop it or anything the screen just spilt in half and they said it would cost be like $500
before the iPhone the Motorola RZR was my favorite. the plus version of this looks really cool, but it definitely needs to be perfected for durability. Kinda looks like a HD MD player
Well I got the Motorola razr with the small screen I enjoy it and yes the price cool the different sounds on the speaker from watching movies to music 🎵 loving it
Please let us know how you're doing with it in a few days or a week, please, if you don't mind? I'm with Cricket and thinking of buying one also and would really appreciate some feedback.
@stacyanderson1593 I got mine through metro. It's a pretty good phone so far. I'm still a bit paranoid about the screen cracking somewhere down the line. You can't have it near credit cards. The magnets inside will de-magnetize them. Temperature affects the rating of how many times it can fold. Too cold or hot, and you will eventually get stress cracks. Nothing lasts forever, but just be aware outside weather will shorten your time with your device. It's not IP68, but I don't think that matters, seeing as the zflips and folds are only rated for lab water. They, too, are susceptible to water damage from everyday use. The Ingress 5 rating surpasses a few of samsungs devices. So dust protection is superb. Other than the aforementioned, I've had a good time with the device. It's definitely something a casual phone user would love. Also, that 144hz with the big ass display is just lovely to look at. It has "Ready For" which is Motorola's answer to samsung's DeX, if you use that. It's light as hell and fits good in any pocket. Just be aware there aren't too many cases available for it at the moment. The ones available besides moto are 3rd party and don't offer hinge protection. I found one on Amazon that does. It held up pretty good. Lmk if you want info to purchase that. The processor is pretty good, no lag in gaming. Apps and all run smoothly. The average user wouldn't give af about the gen 7 chipset. Other than the fact that it causes the top end of the phone to heat up when multitasking. But hey all processors have to blow off some steam. Video playback is crisp AF. Oh, I forgot to mention that if you care about samsungs eco system, I'd stay there. The little things with software will bug you. No pun intended. For instance, when using the pin unlock method, it makes you press enter after putting in your pin. No auto enter. It's just slight things I miss coming from samsung to moto but they aren't necessarily deal breakers at the moment. I do suggest checking out the S23 FE if your looking for flagship specs with a decent price. Both cricket and metro carry it.
@@stacyanderson1593almost forgot. Get insurance for sure on it. If you trust moto go with theirs but I'd say get a 3rd party company. Motorola isn't as laxed as Samsung with their warranty. It doesn't cover the screen whatsoever. Even if it's not your fault. You will have to fight them tooth and nail to fix your device. I'm guessing because Samsung most likely made the screens and moto bought them second hand they can't afford or bother to cover a warranty on another company's product. Ya know, typical cheapskate billionaire stuff. Hope I helped!
Loveeee my phone but theres a message that wouldnt leave the external and its annoying How to turn off twist your wrist to open camera when phone is flipped on Motorola razr
Just got mine since the likes of Amazon, Target, Best Buy, and even Motorola directly has them for $349. Could’ve thrown down the dough for the higher spec models but this is meant to be a secondary phone either way.
Had this as a secondary to my iphone switched it to a s22 ultra then traded that in for a s24 ultra thinking about swapping the iPhone out for this as my secondary the battery life is pretty decent and it has snappy performance
I was loving it till I set it in my lap for 1 minutes w/o closing picked up my cuticle clippers and dropped them on the screen it put cut in glass, right thru the glass and now I have a white stripe and plama type bleed on the glass! $400 ruined in 2 months! No insurance purchased. Great phone except for glass cover.
Guys when its opened and you look at it evenly or squared up with your face you cannot see the indention. $499 and just plain superior to the zFlip most likely better than zFlip5. Best flip smartphone I've ever purchased, the technology is only getting better.
Yoooooo with the OSRS app! Lets gooooooooo ROAD TO MAX CAPEEEEEE! XD Great review, man! Would you recommend the + version of this or the Samsung variant?
S21 Ultra could be really cheap and last you 3-4 years. But if you're looking for novelty factor and a fun device that will have small real life benefits but less battery/less camera/more price, then Z Flip 5.
I bought this phone in the first 3 months i sent it to motorola to fix the screen, with every fold little by little the middle of the screen shows the usage you could see lines appear
Razr 2023 is now just $399! Check it out here ➡geni.us/c3GK

How much did they charge you to fix the screen if I may ask

Get a wireless batterpack
The battery is my only real issue on my Moto razr and that damn pre-installed screen protector scratches too easily 😢
Does Spotify and other music apps work when the phone is closed and are you able to interact with the app on the front while closed?
Since it is still an android and smartphone as long as the app is open and running or even running in background it'll play fine

I was touching it and thought the screen was broken...LMAO! The crease is noticeable and will turn peeps away tho...I love it!
Most people scroll up from the lower half of the screen...I never notice the crease ...I never even touch the crease when using my Razr
The phone will die I mean the crease
First thing I noticed is oldschool runescape. Very nice
It's not going to last long flipping it open like that?
Picked this up for $99 plus tax from Metro PCS Wednesday, I'm really enjoying it.
I really love the design of the Samsung flip 5 but Samsung UI is my only issue with the phone. I'd take the cheaper Motorola with a more simple UI.

Loveeee my phone but theres a message that wouldnt leave the external and its annoying How to turn off twist your wrist to open camera when phone is flipped on Motorola razr
I like the phone so far. Just got it a couple of days ago. But my one hand mode doesn't work. Is anyone else having this issue
I have tried phone and still love it..
Salunga Landisville on the weather app? Hell yeah, I used to live in Mt. Joy!
Just got mine since the likes of Amazon, Target, Best Buy, and even Motorola directly has them for $349. Could’ve thrown down the dough for the higher spec models but this is meant to be a secondary phone either way.
You could use the phone unfolded for phone (audio) conversations?
Absolutely yes
Can you turn the screen off without folding it?
Seems a worthy purchase, the price in Canada is 700 on the Motorola website
Had this as a secondary to my iphone switched it to a s22 ultra then traded that in for a s24 ultra thinking about swapping the iPhone out for this as my secondary the battery life is pretty decent and it has snappy performance
I have a white line on my screen on this phone and I don't know how to fix it 😢
Can you play Spotify from the outside screen only?
Yes
I was loving it till I set it in my lap for 1 minutes w/o closing picked up my cuticle clippers and dropped them on the screen it put cut in glass, right thru the glass and now I have a white stripe and plama type bleed on the glass! $400 ruined in 2 months! No insurance purchased. Great phone except for glass cover.
Price drop any ?
Guys when its opened and you look at it evenly or squared up with your face you cannot see the indention. $499 and just plain superior to the zFlip most likely better than zFlip5. Best flip smartphone I've ever purchased, the technology is only getting better.
Wireless Charging is really great!
What about Dual Sim?
I instantly subscribed when I saw that verse pop up
Yoooooo with the OSRS app! Lets gooooooooo ROAD TO MAX CAPEEEEEE! XD Great review, man! Would you recommend the + version of this or the Samsung variant?
Im kinda deciding between the razr plus, the z flip 5, and the s21 ultra, im lookin to keep my phone for atleast 3 or 4 years.
S21 Ultra could be really cheap and last you 3-4 years. But if you're looking for novelty factor and a fun device that will have small real life benefits but less battery/less camera/more price, then Z Flip 5.
@@ShaneSymondsalright, thanks man
No flip phone will last 3-4 years. Just do your research. They are known to have durability issues
@@RodolphosTechchannelyeah, i see that now
The Coach edition is 149 now on boost mobile, very tempted for that price.
Im thinking about buying a Razr. How is the durability of the screen from flipping it? Is that good?
very sturdy. not loose at all
@@levelup2xs thx for letting me know
Got this for 311 $ from Lenovo today😊 looking forward to getting it❤
I bought this phone in the first 3 months i sent it to motorola to fix the screen, with every fold little by little the middle of the screen shows the usage you could see lines appear
