- Motorola Mobility has not wowed customers or reviewers since the Motorola Droid in 2009. Since then, the company has low on the smartphone market share charts. But the announcement of a new folding Razr smartphone has breathed new excitement into the company. It has left onlookers wondering if this phone could pull Motorola Mobility out of obscurity.

What Happened To Motorola?
The problem is they made a phone that actually lasted. So you didn't need to upgrade every 3 months.
The hardware is top but software support is flop
cpt - NOPE, problem is not supporting the Newest Signaling LTE, 5g for example.
Japan has had WiMAX for over a Decade.
Mark Plott iPhone 11 pro and Samsung S10 both don’t support 5g, so I don’t understand your point.
cpt - Motorola was fine when it was still AMPS, but once GSM and PCS came on the Market Motorola started to Decline.
@@eddieyakin7173 - my POINT was that JAPAN has had 5g like Service since 2000's with WiMAX , America is about a Decade behind in Technology, JAPAN got FeLica (mobile pay), LIVE Mobile HDTV, and WiMAX service (high bandwidth) cellular. a Long Time ago.
In America we Still don't have 4K LIVE HDTV in most markets, but ATSC 3.0 is Deploying very slowly.
The logo is the same in all of their old devices.. and the logo looks good and relevant even today.. what a future proof design they made at that time!!
Is that a joke the logo is nice but their old phones do not look good at all.
@@BigBladeFan Compréhension is very important.
Random bit of trivia, a company named "Williams" that made pinball machines had a very similar logo but it was upside down and made a "W" instead of an "M". It's probably just a coincidence.
@@StewartLucrative It's funny cuz when you flip open Motorola RAZRs and look at it from behind, it's actually made a "W" lmao
@@dopemusic6414 It took you years to subscribe to that concept. Did it give you a headache?
me watching this through a motorola phone: 🧐🧐
Me too
Me too
Same
Me too

It would be so fun to end calls by snapping a phone shut again. Especially when you are mad because pushing a button just doesn’t satisfy that sensation.
it's like slamming a door vs shutting it gently
you can snap the new samsung
Your wish came true
I wanna see the brand survive.
Me too
Motorola Will Survive It is a great thing it is able to swim through very difficult situations ! Long way to go no one can mobile industry beat Motorola in Terms In Innovation
I want a phone that looks and works nothing like the last 100 touch screens that came out. They all look the same. Pay 40 bucks or a 1000 no one will notice.
#Metoo😁
A Q Which brand? Motorola Mobility which is owned by a Chinese company or the Motorola Solutions which is currently killing it by providing government with radio equipments
here in Brazil almost everyone has a motorola. Myself included.
Yep. They made the video solely based on the US market, while there are other countries where Motorola is still pretty successful (like Brazil). Another problem with that video is that they measure success in a very questionable way. For them, it looks like success is having 50%+ of the market share, what isn't true at all. In reality, a company can have, let's say, 3-10% of the market and be considered successful, if it has the ability to hold that share and be profitable.
PS: I'm the owner of a Motorola too (it is one of my two phones).
in the US i dont know a single person
Moto boun!
The best marketing is word to word, I am introduce people to buy a a Motorola. .
@@guilhermecaeirodemattos CNBC is an American company of course it'll be based on the US. So is Motorola, Google, and Apple.
My first cell was a Motorola flip had that thing for 5 yrs. Never had to upgrade, what a Great phone!!
Motorola means quality and durability ❤️💪
Impossible
I have had my iPhone 7 for nearly 5 years now and it’s still super.
What happened to Motorola in America? Would've been a more appropriate title.
Except Canada, typical Yankee comment lol
@@greenfinger8690 "Except Canada, typical Yankee comment lol"
Typical envious Canadian comment lol
Envious... haha again shows your yank arrogance, definitely not envious of the US. Just mentioning the typical thought process of you people thinking you're the center of the universe.
@LAFOLLETTER agreed!
@@greenfinger8690 wait you saying it's dead in Canada or not?
Want to see Motorola?
Just go to Brazil
CRAP
Back in the day Motorola made their base stations there. Maybe that explains the loyalty.
Motorola is still the top 1 phone brand here in Brazil, believe or not. That was because the huge sucess of Moto G years go and people here like to stick to a brand.
I'm in the US and I love the Moto G series. It's always been a great budget oriented series that feels premium.
ViniZan San yes iPhone is just for the rich
@@alfredoalcantar8691 no, iPhones are just stupid. They're overpriced for the hardware you get and iOS is much more limited than Android. The iPhone used to be innovative but that's far from the case now.
@@carlthefriendlyllama2126 iphone only for bussiness and stupid rich people. With a gamer like me play both console and mobile game, android still a best choice
It's actually second. Samsung is the number one.
I used to love their ringtone, "hello, Motto"
Love it
8:10 "Google was the birthplace of Android"
Except it wasn't. Android Inc was the birthplace of Android, which Google later acquired.
Bro when i click the time thing i got a google pixel phone ad 😂
Actually Sun Microsystems was the birthplace of Android
Android was probably the best company Google ever acquired!!
@@AlisoViejoMan Where do you see the connection to Sun?
@@veemacks7255 Why do you think Google has to pay royalties to Oracle for Android. It's because that JAVA based operating system was originally developed at SUN and when Oracle bought Sun, those properties shifted to Oracle; so therefore Larry Ellison and Oracle reaps the rewards. Google should have bought SUN early on.
Hello Moto
Funky tones start playing

Ni hao....... from chinese master of Moto....
Uhm... Im not sure what your talking about but I'm using a Motorola phone to type this into this you tube video right now... Motorola is alive and well and in the pockets of millions... So...
Millions make a minority when the market is in the billions.
Yeah I'm using a Motorola Z3 Play and my wife uses a G6. Awesome phones for a fraction of the price of Apple and Samsung phones that do exactly the same thing.
I stick with a cheap, verylasting cellphone, your not impressed me If your have a iPhone or Galaxy I gone think what a dum ass, you gone impressed me with a 350 Motorola because I have 💯 dollars cellphone or Less. I am already to upgrade..
@@nenezaze3252 pay for your education first
@@martinketchum Y luego...? What kind education you talking about kid..?
Unlocked and compatible with all US carriers, reliable, great support, no gimmicks, and reasonably priced. What's not to like?
For many years Motorola best Phones were only available exclusively throughout Verizon leaving millions of consumers without the option but to go with other carriers 🤷🏻♂️
Despite lack of phone sales, I appreciate Moto's innovation over the years
I just got one and impressed with the speaker, speed, and camera/video. I got the Moto G Stylus.
I love Moto phones it's just they sell midrange phones at high-end prices. Can't go wrong with their low-end phones like the G series though.
Got my Z4 for 120ish at BB.
My Z3 Play was definitely not priced at the high end. But is an awesome phone that I love.
You mean high end phones at mid range prices?
In my home country (Bosnia) the word for a handheld radio is “motorola”
And the word for any suv is jeep
Ivan Buraz exactly
In my country, word for photocopy machines is xerox
Interesting.

Motorola was and is one of the toughest phones in the market...
Proud to be a Motorola fan though the company is declining
I worked at the big M when they were the only real player in cell phones. They used to drop every 5th phone into a test jig onto hard tile and it had to survive. If something broke, the line was stopped and the problem rectified.
Watching on a moto g6 play.
smh motorola isn't dead, they make excellent budget phones.
Moto g4 play here.

@@oohweeoohwee9222 same, dropped my G7 power, rolled under a car and is still like new
I'm using dial up internet on my 2000 netbook
My Motorola came under the train and still running
I had a Motorola Moto X and damn it was a flagship killer when it came out. One of the best phones I have own.
I liked the Motorola Rocker. Basically a slide phone that was built for Music
True that. It was really impressive!
I had Moto X Pure. Based on my experience I'll never get Motorola again.
Phones were better when companies like Motorala and Nokia were at a top.
Well, you’re right. Couldn't agree more. Longevity was a factor with these phone brands.
Masrur Khan not to be naïve, but nothin beats latest smartphones like Samsungs and IPhones, they are revolutionary
@@NathanAlderGigaBITNate ikr he thinks of just hardware what about softwares
@Heather Larson Correct.
found the old person "things were better back in my day..."
Typing on a Motorola Z3 right now. Amazing phone. Love the attachments. I started out on Motorolas back during the Razr and stayed on through the Droid days. Switched to others (LG, Samsung, etc) in the interim and came back on this phone. I'm not buying another brand in the future. By far the most positive experiences on Motorola.
My Motorola G6 phone works great. I've always had good luck with Nokia and Motorola phones.
I just purchased the G7 Power my first Motorola since 2005 I'm just tired of Samsung and I'm not paying $1000 for a phone so I'm very happy and feel great about giving Moto a chance so far I love the phone . Hello Moto.
The Moto G7 Power is amazing, and the near stock feel of the Moto brand is what makes it even better
Got one myself, battery last friggin forever. For a under 300$ you can't beat it
@@johnrossi2516 bought one secondhanded for 130 and it's better than 2 of my last phones even compared when they were new (galaxy s5 then iphone 6)
Watching on a G7 power rn. The speaker could use some love but it's still a 5/5 especially for the chop for flashlight and twist for camera functions, I use them all the time.
Smart move Moto is bomb
I missed Motorola, the one phone that last so long, I’ve used one for almost 10 years and the only maintenance I’ve faced was the battery which last for 5 years, I used it until it totally died, it was worth my money and so reliable. I hope that Motorola will rise again, as there are unique Motorola features that have captured users and will stay loyal.
You can still buy them. I just got a Moto G Stylus and it's really good.
“One small step for man, one great leap for Motorola”
They uploaded the edited space audio he actually says “one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind”
the moto g was a great idea, a cheap smartphone with great capabilites.
i just love the essence of the brand. have been a moto user for 2 decades im just waiting fir resurgence
Watching this on a Moto G5...
I had one
The moto g 3 was the worst phone i ever bought. No ram, no storage, no battery life, crashed all the time.
@@vengefulavenger1510 i had one (with 2 GB of ram) it last me for 3 years and half, Android 9 with lineage os, it was not so good as Moto g1 when launched but not so bad either
Edit: I changed it mostly for the battery.
Google didn't get less when they sold motorola, they got most of their patents
well let face it.. they do nothing...
Motorola mobile is still in full vigor. The G family devices are good, well-priced and reliable unlocked devices.
yeah but there are a few aspects of them that really don't help. for instance (and I am sorry to say so), their famous customisability was an awful concept from the standpoint of making profit for the company. the weird fact that the volume buttons don't control the volume just like that but open up a threesome of onscreen volume sliders that make it necessary to pull the device out of your pocket, to take a good look at the screen, and to position your finger somewhere in order to finally adjust sound output by sliding vertically, that is a terrible thing whenever you are suddenly forced to silence a far-too-loud ringer during a meeting or in the dead of night.. the fact that these devices will simply refuse to charge the battery at any acceptable speed if you use any quick-charge brick that is not a Motorola-branded one (a quirk that Huawei devices suffer from in a similar fashion by the way), the fact that the newer version of a device has less good specs than the smartphone they released the year before, ...all kinds of things like this absolutely don't help the brand, people remember this kind of shortcoming and it affects their choice for their next smartphone purchase in a negative way
@@harrickvharrick3957 I have a g6, and I don't have any of those problems.
@@harrickvharrick3957 I have a Moto 6 Plus and you can't even hear the person on the other end. Silly me, I thought it was supposed to be a telephone and not a mini tablet.
@@dextermorgan69 Yeah, but that likely wasn't so from day one but in fact is a defect that has occurred during usage. I have the same thing with one of my Samsung devices, but it has started after the phone got wet one day and I didn't let it dry sufficiently before starting to use it again. So it in fact is an indirect result of missing water proofing.
Bish I'm watching this on a Motorola and it's one of the more reliable phones I've had
Same
Motorola one ayee
No one said they weren't good phones just that the brand is struggling.
That sounds disappointing
Broke🤤
I remember only one memorable thing with Motorola: Splinter Cell😂😂😂 love that game
I still got that game
Damn....
Nostalgia download time...
I had a Motorola prepaid smartphone on boost Mobile it wasn't the best but it was functional fast enough and cheap and it was it was very durable
I own a moto phone, and it pretty good quality and economical.
I had a Razor for 10 years! Great phone, now use G5 plus. Want to see it survive.
Motorola is like a Phoenix rising from the ashes!💯 Hello Moto 😉
Why so many telling that lenovo destroyed Motorola. Motorola wasn't managed correctly by Google. As a result it became bad luck for Google so they sold it to lenovo
nah google just wanted patents they didnt care about handsets. they basically sucked out the blood
Because it's owned by China. You can't trust them now.
@@ktolwal "They didn't care about handsets"......So explain the pixel series?
BoxHead 42 you mean the deeply flawed Pixel?
@@Boxhead42 lets be honest the pixels are just a half hearted effort. i mean once even microsoft tried their hands on this and we all know what happened
This episode of *CNBC* was brought to by:
*Motorola:* "You know you want to flip it and touch it. What are you waiting for?!"
the issue with sales is no advertisement other then TH-cam. IPhone commercials are every other commercial on T.V. And the new cool folding screen from Motorola came out when?
Apple is very good at marketing their products and made everyone believe it's the most advance thing in the world. Which not true.
Motorola world's most ancient brand , I'm watching with my Motorola one power ❤️✨ #hellomoto
My phone is also moto one power. One year after my friends phone got slower, or facing some kind if issue,but moto is still working fine.
@@pulastochoudhury5319 s bro Motorola means quality durability same me and my friend bought some time mobile I bought Motorola one power and he got Asus ZenFone Max pro m2 now that mobile broken and also facing lag but my device Motorola rocks 💪❤️
I have the Motorola G7+. It's an outstanding phone at a sensible price. For me it replaced a Samsung tablet, an Apple iphone and a desktop computer. I'm running it with 256gb expandable storage. We'll see if the next generation is just as good.
I'm still rocking a Motorola. My first two phone's were Startac's . To my current phone being Moto G7. Never owned a Razr due to it not being on my carrier. And just like the iPhone, I wasn't willing to switch carrier's to get one at the time.
...I worked at Motorola enterprise networks RF business in 2005-2007 and remember meeting lots of very smart very dedicated RF people; including veteran remnants of the 'old Motorola". I learned so much. I was at a meeting in Schaumberg, Illinois in 2006 and remember this bright gentleman sitting in the front row near me. His name was Greg Brown and turned out he was going to be the new CEO! Motorola was having market struggles at that time and he went to the podium and talked about the future - splitting up Motorola whereby the new Motorola Solutions would go back to core business of providing mission critical voice and data solutions; and the Razor to Motorola Mobility. He said it was going to be "painful" but something that was needed to survive and get back to basics.. I was so impressed because he was honest.. I was a little over my head because RF and spectrum is very complex - so I departed and went back to the utility business. It was a great experience. Thank you Moto.
The Motorola Razar Was the iPhone of the mid 2000’s Until the iPhone they killed them.
Yup for Christmas I got the pink limited addition one in middle school everyone thought I was "rich" na I was just spoiled by a father that worked 100 hours a week to spoil me
I had such phone back in 2007...It was very cool ...I have another Motorola now but it ain't the same...the best phones now are Samsung and Huawei
Razr II?
One downside for Motorola, that is not talked about, is the fact Samsung and other phones were on the shelf as a equal competitor. Motorola phones are not on the shelf at Costco for example.
Because they are paying enough for advertising, & heard by word to word. I only gone buy Motorola now on I have been buying for two years
Same like Sony phones or Sony Ericsson phones. Remember the P-Series?
When you are first, doesn't means you'll thrive in the business forever.
Couldn’t afford razor back then and also can't afford now.
It is not "raizor/razor" is RAZR

Well, the US isn't the whole world. Motorola smartphones sells really well in Brazil and other countries.
There's 350 million people in America........a little over 150 million people living in Brazil.....america is the number one consumer purchaser in the world so.......
@@Lordmij so, you're saying that America is bigger than the rest of the world? I am not trying to say that the US consumer market isn't important, I'm just saying that Motorola maybe not relevant in US market over the past few years but in other countries they have a good number of best selling smartphones. And the video doesn't tell the whole story.
@@chrisbergamo just saying it's the biggest consumer in the world
@@Lordmij just saying it isn't bigger than the rest of the world.
The problem is they sell in these 'secondary markets' at razor-thin margins... the big bucks are made in the 'premium' markets of North America and Europe.
I love my MOTO phone . Big bang for bucks .
I never had a Motorola phone or any cell-phone, but I did have a Motorola walkie-talkie & car-radio! As a N.Y. State Peace officer, I can say that this brand was the most reliable of any kind that I had in my 27 year career! For whatever reason, our dept. switched brands a number of times, but they never lasted as long as the Motorola ones! I always say "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"
it is 2022 and i still bought a motorola smartphone because i love the way they cameback in the mobility world and makes me motivated so i chose the company.
I had a Razr back when I was finishing high school. Was probably my favourite cell
I have a Motorola cellphone it's 5 years old and still going

Well played 👏
That deserved way more thumbs up
The only thing that could really save Motorola is that the US government requires all cellphones sold in the USA be "unlocked." That means the cellphone user can choose whatever model cellphone they want regardless of carrier.
Surprised you didn't mention Motorola's StarTac. It was more exciting when it came out than the Razer.
And it's reception still better than any of the new digital phones.
Yeah I couldn't believe they missed that one.
Yes, I was thinking the same thing. It was the first flip phone I remember and all the celebrities were touting it. I still have mine.
I used it as a toy spaceship when I was a kid. Really cool at the time.
Amen! I remember back in 1990 I was living in San Diego when I saw the first Star-Tac in a glass case. The phone was $1999 and did NOT come with a cell plan you to purchase that separately from US West in the neighborhood of $200-$300 per month and it was selling fast.
My first introduction to cell phones was Motorola MicroTAC in 1990...used it a good deal at work on AT&T network; have been AT&T customer last thirty years, and I have had the pleasure of seeing the cellular phone system regularly increase in usability and reliability.
I love my moto E5 dropped this thing so many times and still no cracks or scratches

I was going to say, I can remember pulling my razr out back then and people would always say “that a nice phone, must cost a fortune.” No $100.00 with a contract. Those were the days.
I drop my moto several times and it doesn't crack like an iPhone and that's without the case. The durability and affordability is wonderful. I hope they don't phase out.
Same here 👍
It so reliable compared to other fancy brands
New premium phones don’t crack, either. Watch some drop tests on iPhone 11 Pro
Same. IPhone is garbage when it comes with durability. Absolute trash. I’ve had to change my iPad screen 3 times in this year alone.
Nothing happened to Motorola, they're just fine. Apple has cut it's way into the market and somehow convinced millions of people that their products are actually relevant and worth their price (which, sorry to tell you, they aren't either of those things) and Samsung was the one to step up and be their main check. Motorola still releases really good phones on a regular basis, there just happens to be more competition than when they started.
I completely agree with everything you said! I used Motorola's Budget Devices (E-Series and G-Series). I love those devices. Battery Life is what I love the most.
Good is subjective, Apples phones are plenty good and worth the price, as do Samsungs phones, Googles Pixels, and others. Just cause it is not worth it to you does not mean it is not good.
@@THEFIRE360 apple smartphone used to be good, today they're no longer worth it cause you can get better for less money, and it's objective facts
Heroe / that is clearly not objective. But a highly biased opinion. Fact: they are expensive. Not Fact: they are not worth it. Ofc you can get better value for less. But worth it? That depends on the person. You cant just be like hurr Durr, apples expensive, you're stupid for buying them. Yeah supercars are expensive and you can get much better value with even half the price of one. But that doesn't mean it's not worth it to someone.
@@heroe1486 The Apple brand will eventually struggle , smart phones are like a belly button, everybody has one but it isn't anything special. Then, what can Apple do when the other similar brands are less expensive? Android does what I need, so I don't spend more

I still ride with Motorola in 2019! I'm still rockin my Moto Z Force 2 and I still love it!!! Got my eye on the Z 4 for my next phone tho.
They made great TVs in the 1950’s and 60’s. I have a good few.
AL TV collector Motorola had tv called quasar until Motorola sold off quasar to Matsushita electric
I've had a Moto G7 power all year and it's quite frankly the best phone I've ever had. Period.
Just got a G7 power a couple weeks back. Been the first time I was ever able to go multiple days between charges, and that's me using my phone HEAVILY
I have a G6 and the battery is awesome. I have had the G5 before that and the battery was better than the 6
I've just bought one and the battery is impressive
Raindear Games I have a G7, its battery is really good. However performance can improve a lot, compared to other budget phones like the Pocofone. Also, Motorola is pretty much the budget phone of choice here in the U.S. It gets stuff done for a cheap price.

Proud purchaser of G2, 5G and G6
I had my Moto G4 for 3 years. It converted me to Motorola phones. I now have had the Moto z play for almost 2 years and love it. It's the best phone for retro gaming with the battery life and the game pad mod imo.

Right here. I really like my G6.
I loved my Razr, probably the most of all my phones. Started getting into video calls and games, but the OS died off so was not transferable to Android. Hope to see the Razr do well!

Moto G7 and G4, and the Moto one Hyper is looking really good
Same bought the G6 plus 2 years ago and its the best i ever had a lot better than iphone 6 even.
Im using a Motorola cellphone.
First, a cell phone is a radio transceiver then all of the other functions in your smart phone.are add ins. Motorola makes the best radios.
I want that foldable smartphone lol would fit nicely in my pocket for sure 😊
I swear the moon landing was on July 20, 1969 but on that video it says July 21, 1969
Great catch. The moon landing was July 20, 1969 so the video is wrong.
The moon landing transmission was received and rebroadcast from Australia, which is on the other side of the international date line from the United states. So both time stamps are correct, from a certain point of view.
Releasing the foldable Android phone might impress the consumers, but won't Samsung and IPhone compete by making their own version later?
I certainly hope so. Competition is the only way to get these greedy corporations to innovate.
samsung already made their version but it failed so chances are apple won’t make one until the tech is ready
I remember back in the 90's when Motorola came out with the STAR TAC and then MICRO TAC with GSM capability. Motorola phones then were competing against Siemens, Nokia, Ericsson, Alcatel but Nokia had them all beat out. I moved to the US in the early 2000's and I couldn't believe that they have not heard of GSM before. GSM in Europe and in Asia was already up and running in the mid-90's.
I'm a Moto G fan. They build smooth affordable phones. I can afford to outright buy my phone rather than making expensive monthly payments. Moto is alive and well.
Moto brand is not unheard of today. It's now owned by Lenovo.
No one said they are unheard of.

Good one CNBC. Motorola still makes great phones. They have introduced tech in the last few years that most of the other brands of phones are now using. In fact, I currently use a modern Motorola phone. Also, I do not work for them and are not being paid to say this. Just here to let people know that just because the media says it does not mean it is true.
The same thing like to GM, GE, Boeing - uncontrolled greed...
Finally someone said it!
Right, like the other companies aren't. A simple answer for simpletons, senior leadership in the phone division made some poor marketing decisions many years ago, then other companies were able to make cheaper phones that offered more things.
I still ride with Motorola. They're good phones. I just bought another one. The Moto G Stylus.
I worked in the cellphone biz from 1998-2004. Motorola not only built good products. They serviced them well too. I wish Motorola success in the future. Personally I prefer when Ericsson and Nokia built not only good phones, but all the switches and infrastructure equipment. Now companies from China like Huawei will just help China in it's covert world domination.
I have a Moto phone with. 3day battery life and it's the best phone I ever had.
