The colors are absolutely stunning! It's fun to see lively colors on a flagship again, not the muted/pastel colors or the typical black, white and silver.
Long-term iPhone user here that was frustrated by the white screen of death on a fairly new 14 pro max switched to the Razr as a temporary cheaper option, turns out I love it and can't wait to upgrade to this soon. So long apple!
Ive been using the moto 2023 for a year now... Such a great phone! I pre ordered the 2024 + yesterday.. love the leather back which takes me back to the blackberry bold days
I wish Motorola would actually update their phones in a timely manner. The current Razr is still on Android 13. Inexcusable for a premium flagship. But impressive upgrades honestly. That's a ton of battery to squeeze into a foldable.
I'm very excited for the new Motorola Razr Plus 2024 I have the Motorola Razr plus 2023 so I'm going to upgrade and give this one that I have to the wifey it's still in great condition it's held up nicely looks the same as the day I took it out of the box thanks for the video Great content keep up the good work
@@ohc1492 she can have whatever she wants. It's just that my Razr Plus 2023 is still basically new. So why not give it to her in fact she actually wants my Pixel 8 Pro when I get my Pixel 9 Pro
I don't think they'd even keep their promise of updates to be honest. My mom's Z4 only got updated to A10 from A9 and that's it. The Z4 was supposed to be their mid range model, too. I believe the successor to the Z lineup was the Edge lineup.
I bought the phone, then realized, while sexy, it could do NONE of the One UI features I had come to love in my Samsung. Let me change the color of the app folder. Wait, I can't. Let me change the sparkle effect around the edges for notifications. Oh wait, I can't. Let me pull my app drawer from the side for special apps. Wait, I can't. So I ended up keeping it in my drawer, but getting the new Z Flip 5. Same issue here with this new phone. This is super super sexy, but doesn't have anything close to One UI, which while initially buggy, is now an absolute must. Still, I am tempted.
Telephoto is the better choice. Ultra wide was always the cheaper option for companies. Another thing is that its the tech TH-camrs sold as a narrative that its better to have ultra wide over telephoto
@@Shanti.J No, you can't hook it up to your MacBook. I just meant I use my MacBook and I have all the Google apps, the same as what's on my Android phone and can access on either... I have a Moto Stylus phone right now. You can access your Google photos, etc., from your Android phone or MacBook. I never wanted an iPhone because their customer model is to make you buy a new phone every year or so... and up until recently the battery life was terrible in their phones. Finally, Apple has longer battery life, but only on their most expensive phones. I have a 5,000 Mah battery in my Stylus that can easily go two days to 2 1/2 days of use, which is great for traveling. My particular phone was only about $250 from Walmart, as a closed out model, a couple of years ago... It takes gorgeous pictures and videos. I was just looking at the Razr as a flip phone for a change...but I don't think I'm going to get it right now as I'm so happy with the Stylus. 😃 Oh, I also have WhatsApp on both... My phone and MacBook. So no problem there either or with other apps that are on both.
@@Shanti.J So sorry, you can't hook it up to your Macbook, just meant that you can use all the Google apps that you have on your Android phone or a Macbook, either one.

Never wanted an iPhone because of the short battery life, they finally improved, but only on the most expensive models. I was just looking at the Razr for something different, but going to stay with my Stylus for now. 😃
I’m torn between unlocked razr plus 2023 save money or new 2024 version with new features. Is unlocked even an option? Will z flip 6 be competitive even ?
Nice ones 👌 Smart move to change to colored vegan leather for the bezel of the cover screen. on last year's razr+ the huge bezel really stood out but this year the cover looks bezelless on both even though only the plus model really is
@@jonb5331 I don't think it's that big of a deal, it is only slightly slower than last year's flagship (Snapdragon 8 Gen 2), which means it's faster than the old razr +.
I'm glad to see Motorola sticking with the foldables and improving them
Facts cause I definitely like it.
Do I have to worry about getting a black line where the phone folds
@joebailey4816 No. The screen quality is pretty good
Love my iPhone and Apple ecosystem BUT... that Motorola is GORGEOUS. I want the pink one.
Same. The original Razr was always my favorite phone. Never thought I’d think about leaving iPhone but this phone has me thinking differently.
Get it.
Same! I wouldn’t mind a phone that’s not Apple but I just can’t deal with Android/Google
Save the Congo ❤

I would pick zoom. I have no friends to fit in ultra wide
Whomp whomp
Oop
Yep
Lol. None of my friends would be happy if I switched from Iphone so we wouldn’t even use the razr for selfies
Damn bro
I have the 2023 RAZR+ and love it. This 2024 series is stunning in both models. Keep going, Motorola. Outstanding
Have you had any problems with the foldable screen?

I was holding off on the other Android trackers because there was a lack of Ultra Wide Band. Moto is a game changer.

This is much better than the new galaxy flip 6 IMO.
They are both cashgrab relaunchs of the same older model but with very few features that cant be called improvements
@@SomereasonstoliveYou just described Apple.
Motor needs to improve their software support. I would not consider motor phones until they show signs of better software support
“OH! It’s still there!” Can’t get over that from the screen crease 😂😂😂
I love the design, like others have said, it would definitely be helpful if they stated how long they intend to provide updates
I don't think they'd even keep their promise of updates to be honest. My mom's Z4 only got updated to A10 from A9 and that's it. The Z4 was supposed to be their mid range model, too. I believe the successor to the Z lineup was the Edge lineup.
@@busterdouglas2250I've gotten all updates that were promised on my Moto think phone.
They have. You get 3 systems
I do miss the RAZR line looking more like the classic RAZR. Cloning the Samsung style was lame, but I like the specs here.
A phone that has a big screen at the back of the phones looks pretty interesting ngl.
Motorola has about the worse OS support, they do nearly everything but update their phones lol. For a $1000, this is pretty unacceptable.

nova launcher
Terrible hardware support too. Can't find any replacement parts for the edge+ 2023 even though it's only a year old
Pretty much the phone that I wanted last year. I'll wait to see what the Z Flip 6 has to offer but Moto is definitely looking extremely attractive
How will it compare to Flip 6?
Nowadays main sensors are soooo good, zooming in digitally 2x has no problem. Would like to have a wide-angle lens instead.
Facts the 23 has a wide angle! I use wide angle alot. Id definitely miss it if I upgrade to the 24 model
I love my 2023 RAZR plus definitely going to get new one. Hopefully they solved battery issue
They look very stylish, good job Motorola
Not gonna lie, looks smooth
Do they both have the UWB chip that can use the Moto Tag?
Want an in depth review on the Moto tag. How is the user experience? How precise is it?
I'm super excited about the moto tags!!
I hope the video stabilization improved. The 2023 models were not quite flagship level.
I'm in love with the specs and design! Wow !!!!!!
Excited for this! Finally ticking all the boxes!
I wonder if the front screen still has that void which breaks easily under slight pressure...
Certainly looks like a fun and refreshing design. Zoom lense for me!
I like this host, he’s very engaging. Keep up the good work man!!
is the ultrawide band available in these 2 phones ? to match with the new moto tracker

Gonna grab the regular Razr 2024 as a second device to my iPhone 15 Pro. May skip the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
Does this new updated version now support type c video out?
Wish they have the Orange on the plus.
I need the plus. I want the best. Hopefully, it will be going to be on at&t
I'm torn between the two. They both seem great. What color are you getting?
@@UnboxerofWorlds peach fuzz on the plus is 🔥
@@troyanthony9354 I wound up getting the blue!
I want the pink one!
Marijuana green 💚
Not them Taking us back to '07 with these colors. I love it!!!
Where can we find that case
I’d always choose the telephoto lens. I barely use the Ultrawide lens on my phone, but I use the zoom regularly.
Amazing designs and features!! Great review!!
I can't remember the last time I took an ultrawide photo. telephoto is the one I use more often.
Motorola is king 👑
I'm interested in what this phone can actually do.
It is good to see some companies adopting vegan leather and making it an easy choice for some of us that value cruelty free products.
Somewhat condescending but okay.
aaah it reminds me of the hot pink razer flip phone from when i was elementary school!!! ❤
Thank you 💯
Why does the razr plus have a smaller battery than the regular razr??
“Wide angle can be fun, but we think telephoto is more important.” -Google, 2019
Great vid! How about takin selfies (night time/low light) with the main cam when folded? Can the flash be activated? Anyone?
do you know if apple music is purchaseable on this? i cant stand spotify and would love to keep my apple music
Yes

Dust is a bigger threat than water.
Happy that Moto is not going out without a fight
Moto is better than samsung
Especially its display response time
Still wish they would bring back the microSD card slot.
Can you return a missed call from the cover screen?
Sounds basic, but the razr 40+ cant
I love the phn'es features and the dimensity really should work the best
This might make me finally buy a smartphone...
That green one looks 🔥

Surprised virgin mobile is still going strong there
Is Virgin Mobile still a thing. LOL. We haven't missed that since it vanished in the US.
Ultrawide is mutch more usefull if you are in small space you can get everyone in the frame. Zoom you can just move closer.

Cool phones, want 1 😊
Pretty solid release
I'd like to see if the videos skip last they did in the previous version. Thats a deal breaker for me
Can I have one for a loyal Digital Trends fan?
Such an amazing phone !!
Hopefully the inside screens are more durable than last year's.
If they could've gotten that tag to also work on iOS they could've taken over the segment tbh
I hope it's as durable as the flip.
Still disappointed they ditched the original design 😐
When someone says let's break it all down and not one thing breaks in entire video. I was expecting a broken heart atleast
I would prefer the telephoto if it were 4x or 5x, but at 2x , I’d just prefer the ultra wide.
Is “ah thousand dollars” the same as one thousand dollars?
Ten hundred
I love the look and the features, It is great that Samsung is getting some stiff competition finally
"No word on pricing" *price on screen*
"No word on release date" *release date on screen*
ultra wide all day
razr+ 2024 still base model with only 256GB of storage. To compensate for the lack of cameras they should have done it with 512 GB. Pass from me.
