I have been using the Razr 40 ultra for 2 weeks now and am impressed. The concerns you raise could apply to any phone, don’t be put off! much better than my Z flip 3.

"One drop, and disaster will strike" well, that pretty much applies to all smartphones!

Ive had this for phone for a week now. Its 100% a generational leap for flip phones. Outer screen is like its own device with its own UI, app drawer and app history. It integrates seamlessly and works smoothly when switching between main screen. Phone uses close to 6gb ram when idling. Flip 5 launches in a couple months, so 3rd party apps will update this summer to resize better on the outer screens. Andriod could do with allowing apps know where cutouts are. Design wise, its a pretty slim phone and pockets really well. They couldve made it slightly thicker and given it a larger battery, but then it wouldve been thick when folded. This new slim design work well. Criticism: super high refreshrate screens were not necessary. They should've put the money towards newer Snapdragon chip for bettery efficiency. But i think the design and displays are a 2 yr programme, with a chip and camera update for next yr's model. Software wise, motorola need to allow widgets to run on the outer display. It'd make a massive difference. There are some minor UI bugs that need ironing out. Ive had a few flip phones including razr 2022 and flip 4 and 3. All in all i live this phone. Its polished enough to recommend

Regular candy bar phone always exposed I'm sure this little 3 inch screen will be fine

I just want a phone the size of the outer screen, a smaller square smartphone.

Been using the phone for a week. The phone is great. A lot of the concerns raised are standard for all phones. The camera zoom is weak though.

I ordered a Razor phone from AT&T. I did allot of research. I ordered a protective case and screen protectors. I always protect my phone's.

It's funny, I used every ZFlip and just switched from the Flip 4 to the Pixel 7 Pro. I used each Flip for a year till the next one came out and never had a screen fail or break, I'm 7 months into using the pixel and just dropped it and shattered the screen, still usable so I'll use it till it dies but just feels ironic haha.

Who the hell puts their phone in damn water , come on you guys make that such an important thing. That's just crazy 😅😅😅😅

"At my favorite local market: Sprout's" You should join me next week at my favorite local burger joint: Macdonald's.

All these concerns apply to all modern smart phones

great review , do you think with the large screen on the front being so exposed that it should be coated with something like liquipel liquid glass coating?

Battery life on mine is exceptional. I mean I've been listening to Spotify for 5 hours browsing at the same time, watched a couple of movies , With the screen always on , the battery died at 11 hours 35 minutes It's more than my S21 Ultra with a 5000 MAH battery which was 10 hours.

Every phone has the issue of screen scratches due to the fact, they have screens.

He is right and yes any phone can one slip yes thats it, but i want to see the cases for these phones

What about people that use your phones in their cars are there any car mounts that hold a flip phone?

I just want to know how long does it last hour wise

Hi Josh, Thanks for this video. Will this phone have a pinch to zoom? Im leaning towards buying this phone but price is a concern.Thanks for your hard work and knowledge Matt

How well does razor work with Samsung galaxy watch?

Joshua bring more videos on moto edge + I really liked the style of your last video really felt how a consumer uses phone in daily life so bring some more content like that on moto edge + on different topics or comparisons etc

I've gone from z flip to pixel pro past 2 years and the telephoto and some google software is what I always miss.

I got the razr care package, I get to make 3 mistakes within 2 years. 😂

4:40 How does the front screen being half as big draw more power than a full screen? Any situation you're using it is one where you would have a display twice as big being powered in any other phone

I've had the phone for three days now and love it so far. My only gripe is how slippery the phone is in my hand. I have the black version from ATT. I was hoping not to add a case - but felt it was necessary. The case I purchased is decent and fixes the slippery issue - but does detract a little from the beauty of the phone. Still - I am thrilled to send my iPhone 13 Pro back and get back to Android!

At the end, its simply a personal choice to buy any mobile phone. Any phone is not breakproof, but some are proned to more sensitive like the Moto Razr Plus, and whoever buys such phones (like me, since I already ordered one), is accepting the risks, so, no need to worry about such issues.

It's an all in one phone with lots of fun...If you want every best thing in the small brick, then, it's not meant for you...I advise to buy a basic Nokia phone with a big battery for calling, buy a DSLR for photography and and buy a laptop and go out with them...They will together meet all your needs 😂

Whatever brand it is, I still can't wrap my head around the crease. It's simply annoying 😅

Valid points thank you for a great video!

Please do a comparison between moto razr+ vs the oppo find n2 flip in a future video.

Battery life is longer than what I got with the Z flip 3. Most days I had to charge the flip 3 during the day but this new Razr has consistently made it through the whole day on 1 charge.

What a lovely tea break! Not a bad phone though.. nicely done!

How do you only have 240k subscribers? This is one my favourite channels - clear, honest, no BS.

Went into my local store to check this out. Smal tmobile store small town not much foot traffic. This phone has only been on display 3 days. Already right where it folds pixles are already out/black. Thats all i needed to see to not purchase. Got the s23 ultra instead.

A standard phone has more screen exposed all the time so I'll say you're good.

Biggest concern is price. If its the same price as z flip 5 or only $50-100 difference then its over.

Asking about the screen protection, I was wondering if you've heard anything about a case for this phone? Half a case?

Durability definitely a concern but dang it looks so good 🎉

Is there a factory-installed screen protector on the inside display?

Any chance the Z Flip 5 will have a telephoto lens?

*Vivo* *X* *Flip* After looking at the photos closely and watching Ben Sin's KZfaq review for it, I now believe the Vivo X Flip in silk gold and with the transparent case that it came with is the best-looking foldable clamshell since the Razr 2019 and 5G. It shimmers beautifully. Vivo X Flip looks better than Z Flip 5 and Razr 40 series. The best color for the Razr 40 Ultra for me is the plain black one followed by the glacier blue. I think the magenta with the vegan leather will get dirty over time. I own Air Jordan 13s Bred. The red gets dirty easily. The best color for the cheaper Razr 40 is the olive green. It looks better in videos than in photos. If you want the vegan leather, the Razr 40 will have it. The reason why I don't want it is I can't live without a flagship SoC in it. Even though it's a year old, the 8+ Gen 1 will still age much better than 7 Gen 1. The only thing X Flip is sorely lacking is no wireless charging. But the 4400 mAh battery in it is best in class. X Flip scored 19h for web and 23h for video playback from GSMArena's battery tests. The Razr+ scored 6-8 hrs less. X Flip is on par to the S23 Ultra and nobody is really talking about this phone since it will never be available outside China. I would import it and use it on Metro since AT&T has a whiteliist for phones and Vivo isn't part of it. S-Class Fordable Flip Design - Razr 2019 (technically released in 2020) Razr 5G (the one I own) X Flip (now added, silk gold is fire with clear case)

Zenfone 9?

You do bring up valid concerns but for me it will be Moto update policy that gives me pause. They are pretty good as far as I remember about unlocking the phone. I would hope to get 3 OS updates and 4 years or security updates.

does it have always on display? thanks for great video

One of my top concerns is that it shipped with 2 month old security patches and still hasn't received its first update. This is a bit ridiculous, borderline deal-breaker.

going to get one to review for sure!

your second point is so strange as all phones have risk of screen scratching…. except for flip phones with no outer screen.

I want this so bad

Are you a Padres fan?

Hi, how's the battery life?

Screen protector. Enough said. You're not buying this if you're around water constantly. The charging soeed is a serious drag though.

It still baffles me why reviewers talk as if wetness and breakability is an issue that all phones need to have. Personally I have only ever dropped one phone ever in any water and that was a Nokia phone waaaaay back in the day. And as far as dropping a phone also only once and that was because I did something I never said I would do and that is text while walking and the one time I did it and dropped my Blackberry Passport SE also back in the day and only had a light scratch. Though I can see once one gets to a certain price point of the thinking, but with any and all new emerging tech there may be minor issues one knows going in. I really thought there would be legit top 5 concerns. In all honesty I see so many iPhone users walking around with cracked screens than any phone. Still not sure what people are doing but I would not think IP ratings and Breakage are super concerns. They are good to know, but most modern day phones have a fair amount of ruggedness and most people also have a casing at some point. And people being clumsy for dropping on hard surfaces or in water, might not be something that I would say is a Top 5 concern as that is not a problem of the phone. Even the cheapest of phone can survive a small drop. I have the RAZR 2020 5G and am looking forward to this new one coming this summer esp to T-mobile my carrier

What puzzkes me is none of you video you tubers have broken down how many os and sercurity upadates you get.

Have gotten and used mine for 2 weeks now, alongside a 15 Pro. The Motorola is so much more fun and surprisingly practical versus the oh-so-familiar, but rather boring iPhone.

Can WhatsApp be used to send messages from front screen?

My Motorola Rarz Ultra/Plus, I can: 1. Read/reply to email without opening the phone. 2. Read/reply to text messages without opening the phone. 3. Read/reply to chat messages without opening the phone. 4. Make/answer calls without opening the phone. Consequently the battery lasts 3 days without having to recharge it.

I spot the Ticwatch Pro 5. Can't wait for a review

My mom had this phone 2 months and the full screen stopped working and T-Mobile would only give her a refurbished ( crappy) phone. Even tho she didn't cause the issue

It's not worth if expensive, why if fallin, then damage, parts are hard to believe,another upgrade latest eventually fade out technology?!

and still that crease though...... damn

The concerns sound like there isn't a lot of research. 1. The water resistance doesn't actually mean too much. I've had a $20 phone from a Chinese auction and I've accidentally dropped that on water by accident twice and it still works perfectly. It was a cheap ZTE phone from cricket. Jerry rigged everything made a dust test on the z flip 1-4 and all of them seemed to work completely fine without the rating. The purpose of the rating is literally just a certification. But there isn't any actual guarantee. Apple won't give you a refund if your phone fell on a toilet bowl and stopped working. It's not part of their warranty. It's actually just an illusion of confidence. Even if a flagship phone with ip68 is more durable than a folding phone in terms of water and dust, it wouldn't matter because it would never happen unless you do it on purpose. And even ip68 phones get permanent damages like speakers and USB C port and have no warranty on that. Their warranty is very easy to misunderstand on purpose. 2. Someone already made a durability test on Z flip 4 and Z fold 4 from the drop test. And it was shown they are even more durable than a lot of slab phones. The Z fold 4 has 3 screens and is a slab phone and survives multiple drops and also has gorilla glass victus like the razr. 3. The battery. Just because the battery is smaller doesn't mean it's going to run out of battery quicker. iPhone has proven this multiple times that it is all about efficiency. S23Ultra for example now uses more efficient screen and better thermal build that's why it outlast the S22Ultra by a mile even if it's the same capacity and appearance. But yeah the razr plus is actually trash if you researched. GSM Arena had it 83H vs Z flip 4's more than 90H of battery life even if the razr plus had bigger capacity.

I use liquid glass on my phone. After a couple years, no scratches

You should do some content on Sony's newest Xperia!

Cornelius Would Be Proud.🙌🏼

That's why, I would rather go for a cheaper version with small screen on the outside. I'm looking for simple phone, that would easily fit in my pocket.

Can call and message with the outer screen?

This is the 4th iteration of the SMRT RZR - FYI, not 1st Gen. Also if you drop your phone in water, you'll ruin it & guess what?! gravity is a b**ch. The drop won't kill your phone it's the ground which will do the damage. I don't understand the "Fascination" from all phone reviewers about water resistance in a phone....don't take it to the pool or go swimming with it....

Top 5 concern on Z Flip 5

Concern is the outer screen is exposed, what about the non foldable phones ? Lol

screen damage is NO different from regular phone, im 100% confident screen protector is out there.

Just looked for your videos on the numerous CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS filed against iPHONES and couldn't find any.

the moto in europe comes with a free case , charger ,and cable , a better box than what i see on reviews , but we have the ultra not a plus

$999.99?? No thank you!! My Pixel 7 pro works just fine!

That tea looks good actually😋

Glass is glass. It will break or scratch.

Damn. Sounds like a hit piece.

My favorite tea 🍵 🇧🇷. Expecting some interesting cases for this device, with that front. About change, yes. I recently change from my 3° Samsung in a row to a Motorola Edge 30 Ultra (got an amazing deal). So refreshing to use stock Android, after about 7 years of OneUI. Great to change once in a wild. Expectating to use it until Android 15. PS: I hold the 30 Fusion, and that leather back is so good to hold. That back should be on the 30 Ultra too 😢

The front screen is Gorilla Glass Victus, it is extremly hard to scratch that screen. In regards to the batterie life, I don't think you got the idea of the front screen. A normal user will use 50% the front screen, that safes a lot of batterie, as a result the batterie last easy a full day. I don't care about IP rating, I don't need my phone when having a bath or going for a swim. In regards to the Camera, I like it, I don't like the overly saturated coulors from Samsung or others, they just look fake in my point. I also don't notice any difference due to a last gen CPU, I mean who does? 4-5% performance in a Benchmark test, makes no difference in a daily use. I'm very happy with my phone, and I know I won't need a new phone for at least 5-6 years. And yers I don't care about updates, my last phone never got one and it works now for 5 years.

My concern is that this guy is wearing a short sleeve shirt and a wool hat. Seems he can't decide if he is Hot or Cold or maybe he just thinks he is cool 😎

Battery live

Dude says there’s no opportunities for scratches and stuff….but there isn’t. It’s the same as an iPhone, the screen can scratch on the external screen like an iPhone regular screen, except with the Motorola, you have basically a second life when it comes to the screen, all this guy is doing is mentioning the same problem that every other phone has

999 dollars hahahahaha, it's 1199 euro's.............

👉 God, I will never know how the Defendants representatives do that job and stay sane. I’d have to be physically restrained in the presence of such evil

Justice Delicious🔥 @2:11

Man Josh I was so excited about the phone until you opened my eyes about: what happens if it drops face down?, well screen dies🙈

Let's talk about smartphones in general. They've already peaked. You can't really improve the designs of Folds and Flips. All it can do is flip vertical or horizontally one-way and you really can't improve upon that design. Hence, why most of them are starting to look the same. It's like after Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, I don't believe MCU can climb higher that that. That was their Mount Everest. Their next climbs will never top what they did in Phase 3 and ending it with Endgame. That's about as good as a Disney MCU film will ever be. Unreachable. This is how I feel with current smartphones. It's the same thing over and over. KZfaqrs will try to get us excited but the enthusiasm wore off many years ago. I'm looking for the tech that will replace the smartphone. I'm not sure that's digital tattoos that Bill Gates is saying or AR glasses. But I do believe the latter can improve greatly these next 10 years. Like a 2034 version of the Apple Vision Pro will be a lot better than the 2024 version of it compared to say a 2034 Razr over a 2024 Razr. You can only do so much with a smartphone whether a slab or foldable. But it really hasn't changed much for the last 16 years.

Number 6 concern: Moto forgot to add speediest mmwave 5G capability (n260/261) when they carried it over from China. Guess what IS going to have that in its latest & greatest incarnation? The Samsung Flip. Samsung also is going to smartly optimize cover screen apps with Google and will have no doubt a much better interaction with it, even though it is a little bit smaller. This coming from someone who can't stand those hypocrites at Samsung, but can read between the lines when I see it.

Awesome! I want this phone

Too fragile too delicate easy to crack screen if dropped, and the camera is horrible-Also too hard to open phone which becomes annoying- I will stick with the candybar until there is a flip that has designed one that is easy to use- The display screen on the outside of phone was disappointing as well because most internet sites are not configured to fit sceen and you end up watching a matchbox looking screen just a novelty for now

"Asia or India." Well practically India is also a part of Asia. 👀

There's no pleasing you 😂

Stop with the tea breaks. 🍵 ☕

It comes with a case. Only tech youtubers dont use these. Also it's 33w charging. Sloppy video. And the tea break is obnoxious.

For a guy around this long, without a million subscribers, means his videos are not effective. I suggest he becomes an English teacher and review phone once in a while

Is anyone having a problem while on the speaker phone talking to someone? Sorry I'm old and still have verbal conversations😂 anyway my friends are telling me when I'm on the phone with them it cuts in and out with a lot of static and no sound?? Help.

Dread. U are starting to repeat yourself too much. 3mins in a 10 min video about "try something new?" and a, glass screen protector for the outside will give the same protection as for a candybar phone

Отвратительный отзыв. Бла-бла-бла и ничего по делу. Одна философия. Это техноблог или мукбанг. ⭐⚪⚪⚪⚪

They already make a product it's called liquid glass.

You were too young you don't know what a hybrid is stop with the hybrid alright it's a flip phone

I hope Josh's good buddy, Tony Stark AKA Michael Fisher, enjoys his Razr+ this month. I believe he will. He's a proud Motorola fanboy and we can't blame him. Motorola started it all. He once interviewed Martin Cooper, the grandfather of cell phones. I could get the Razr+ for really cheap. AT&T is offering it for $5 for the next 36 months. I only need to have a plan like that $65 unlimited starter one. Since I have ACP ($30 discount) and will enroll to autopay ($10 for postpaid but $15 for prepaid), my bill can go from $70 to only $30. I believe AT&T's promo for the Razr+ is better than T-Mobile's. The former is only $5 for the next 3 years and no line or trade-in required. T-Mobile wants you to add another line. Since I'm not leaving AT&T for the next 3 years, I think it's better. But T-Mobile is the only one offering it in magenta. But I keep asking myself, is it really worth it? I currently have a Z Flip 3 with CoverScreen OS finally updated twice the past month and a Razr 5G. My Razr 5G only has 6 apps on the cover display. It can't do Google Wallet or Photos. I'm not sure getting a third foldable will make me that much happier. The 6 apps on my Razr 5G's 2.7" cover display: GMaps, Netflix, Pluto TV, QuickPic, Tubi, and KZfaq. Mostly video streaming apps. On my Z Flip 3 has 12 apps since my sim is in it and CoverScreen OS can be buggy but useful. Flip 3's cover display is also better for widescreen content. The truth about having a bigger cover display is it still is shaped like half a slab. A square. Many apps aren't built for a square. When the keyboard pops up, it takes up most of the cover display. What makes CoverScreen OS so great and superior to SamSprung is the ability to lock each app to portrait or landscape. Then swipe up to go back. The flip phone I want is really that X Flip but I know it won't work on AT&T. I could do Metro but I hate the phones they offer. I wouldn't want a Pixel 6a or iPhone 11 if given for free to me. I'll probably wait when the X Flip goes down in price like say $500. It's currently around $870 on Aliexpress. I'm only getting the X Flip because I like the design the best. That silk gold is really attractive. The knock on the Razr+ is the resolution on the cover display got much, much higher. Many of my videos are at 720p at best. I don't see the pixelations from a lower resolution display. It's similar to playing old 16-bit ROMs on a PSP and Vita over a current smartphone. It fits better in smaller displays and lower resolution. The Razr's cover display is perfect for classic sitcoms in that 4:3 aspect ratio. The X Flip still has a modest resolution for its 3" cover display and it's great for a lot of 16:9 content since it's wider than the Razrs'. X Flip > Razr+ No wireless charging but same SoC while the X Flip looks nicer and packs a much bigger battery. A difference of 6-8 hours is significant. Plus, I would rather own a clamshell nobody has. I expect the cheaper Razr 2023 will be Motorola's best-selling foldable ever followed by the Razr+. I think the Razr+'s 3.6" is a bit of a cheat. I bet in a lot of cases, it's really more in the 3.4" range the Z Flip 5 will have. Because I expect more people will not have the video overlap the two cameras. They will have the option to view content above the cameras which decreases that 3.6" size. I'm a perfectionist in DESIGN and I'm only giving the Razr+ and Razr 2023 as part of the A-class. It's just not as pretty as the Razr 2019, Razr 5G, and Vivo X Flip in silk gold. Check Ben Sin's review of the X Flip a couple weeks back. That silk gold looks amazing with or without that clear case it came with. A beautiful sheen under direct sunlight. The best-looking flip since the Razr 5G. 2023 Wishlist 1. Vivo X Flip (silk gold) 2. Google Pixel Fold (obsidian) That's it. I'd rather get a Steam Deck or ROG Ally with my money over those two phones. Something different than another smartphone I'll get bored with after 6 months. The PC handheld like the AR headset/glasses is another industry where I could see it rapidly grow the next 10 years.
