They shouldn't have gone with it, while it is interesting to see a screen flex like that, the novelty wears off fast. Maybe as a collectors version not meant for daily use. I think using multiple screens separate like, that could have worked out better.

I can see why it failed. Screen looks absolutely atrocious. The obviously noticeable crease is an eyesore. Screen too glossy. For the initial asking price, I’m sure most said nah, used their funds for a flagship iPhone or Samsung, and saved about $400 after tax. Obsolete junk

Everything said there, was said for the Samsung flip. What's different eh? Shittier screens, very obvious crease, reflective, and fragile mf screen. Your nail would literally leave an indention on the screen of the flips. I'm sure they didn't take their money and got a flip. Ain't saving money with that. 🤷 Can hate all you want. But it's no different than getting a flip. Better reader location than the flip tho. Nicer bsck screen. Comparable hardware. Bout the same price of the flip of the year it released. Man, I can go on, and not based off of a video. Actual hands on my friend. All three brands. The razr was objectively better than the flips, but not Samsungs actual flagships; like the ultra.

The razr 2019 failed because of delays, components were produced in Wuhan, and very few units went out to retailers. Stock got better 6 months later, when lockdown was taking place. CNET video made it get lot of hate, and tech media hated on its camera and design. Actual phone owners loved it and you can see many verizon, best buy or amazon reviews about it. But Motorola listened to tech media more than its users, and the razr ended up getting more refined into a modern foldable that looks nothing like the original razr, but is very capable. If you ask me, I would take a nostalgic original design over the current razr 2023 phones.

Since the 2019 Razr was Verizon exclusive it saved most people from being tempted. The Razr 5G was actually legit and has a handful of KZfaq vids talking about how nice it still was a couple years in. I used it for three years and it still felt like it was brand new at the end, my aunt is using it now.

I managed to get it replaced after a few months of using only the small screen and luckily I was sent the 2022/2023(?) version and it's everything plus more. The screen is amazing and has no curve/bump and there is no area for any dust / rocks to get into. The phones unbreakable aswell it's worth the buy!
