[MOTOROLA RAZR+ / RAZR 2024 REVIEW]
Twenty years ago (with the help of some “hot” star power) Motorola reshaped humdrum mobile phones into design icons with the first RAZR. It’s spent the past five of those years reformulating that reinvention into the Razr 2024: a playful pocketable, clad in all the colors of the rainbow the bigger manufacturers keep (frustratingly) shying further away from. It's no exaggeration to call the new Razr two phones in one: a high-end Android flagship and a tiny minimalist phone, blended into a single foldable that reminds us that, oh right: technology can be (should be) fun!
In short: the 2024 Razr and Razr Plus are the antidote to every other phone.

Samsung and Google's folds, ironically enough, are both arguably small phones. Yeah, the "point" of a fold is the large screen, and fair enough, that's what I use like 70% of the time. But the 6.2 inch diagonal size of my Z Fold is misleading, it's super narrow and excellent for one-handed use - the only phone I've ever comfortably been able to do swipe typing on, and it rests comfortably in my hand. The Pixel Fold's cover display, on the other hand, is basically like the iPhone Mini. Not a fan of the trend that folds are getting bigger in general, and I hope Samsung doesn't follow suit.

Don't credit Motorola with the Pink Razr. The idea was that Razr was the "male" phone. Pebl was the "female" one, so the idea of a pink Razr went against the grain, but Charles Dunstone of Carphone Warehouse ordered 250,000 Razrs in pink. I was at Motorola, we thought he was mad, and when he asked for an exclusive on pink we gave it to him. Bear in mind that the forecast for global Razr sales was 800,000 units - well that's what the team told the portfolio committee. I later learned that they thought it would sell 300,000. Carphone went on to sell 3 million pink Razrs ane we bought the rights to pink back from Carphone.

That is quite sad. I know that new Android versions have lesser value than they had a few years ago but this level a support is unacceptable when Samsung gave Android 14 in December (I have a Fold 5, it was early December I think) and it consistently delivers monthly security updates. For a longer support period. At this price range these things matter, even if Samsung is sleeping on HW development (though both the Fold and Flip 5 are super sturdy at least).

While I would never buy a flip, I'm starting to get it. I've had a fold for nearly a year now, and I initially bought it because I wanted to fit as big of a screen in my pocket as possible - but I've come to love the narrow cover display as well. It's far easier to type with one hand than it ever was on a traditional phone. Right now I'm watering plants work one hand and typing a comment with the other, and that's something I never could have comfortably done on a slab. Having a display that's about ~2/3 the size of a typical modern phone, and also a display that's about 60% larger, it's a much better two in one combo than just "big screen, now give me $1800". While an even smaller screen than that doesn't interest me personally, I can understand the appeal now. Flips without a ~3 inch cover display still don't make any sense to me.

I owned a Z Flip 3 and Z Flip 4, and I enjoyed my time with them immensely. However a single drop onto carpet broke the Z Flip 4 hinge and I moved to a Pixel 8 due to availability and very aggressive pricing. And honestly, I have not looked back at the world of foldables. As fun as the folding experience was, there's no denying it was compromised and returning to a stress free phone that I can just chuck around has been liberating. Looking back at a phone with a crease is now an eyesore, even though it never bothered me while I was using it. The jump in outdoor screen brightness and camera quality was also very noticeable.

@TheMrMobile 15 күн бұрын

Yeah, they're certainly not for everyone. That said, I'm the opposite: I moved to foldables full-time starting in 2020 and haven't looked back. Every time I pick up a slab phone I'm immediately unfulfilled by either the limited screen real estate (compared to large-format foldables) or the pocket penalty (compared to flips). And while I agree about the fragility in general ... I toss around all my foldables without a case, and the majority of them have held up just fine. Ultimately, just glad there are options on the market for each of us! Choice is good.

As a Razr 40 Ultra owner, I love the new 2x telephoto...the ultrawide in my phone is just so much worse than the normal wide angle lense, and the difference in scope is much smaller than it was with my previous Galaxy Z Flip3. The ultrawide is almost useless IMO. I agree 2x is not that much, but I use 2x zoom a lot, so for me it would be a great improvement. Maybe with the next generation they could do 5x, at least that would be my hope.

@onepunchbud1472 14 күн бұрын

Interesting hearing your comments on the durability of Razr 40 Ultra! Ordered mine thru EE in UK Nov23, By march 24 the screen protector was lifting just above the hinged area. EE sent it away to be repaired and eventually (due to no screens available) arrived back and the screen no longer had the notch! Now I am aware of tiny lines across the hinged area in the screen protector. Which begs the question how durable are foldable phones in general! I do love the compactness of it folded & produced some lovely photos on a recent trip to New York! Enjoy your thorough reviews so thanks from the UK👍

There's a potent irony in seeing so much lavish design going into the music player UI on these when I just bought a DAP to load all my music onto. Still, I was originally gonna get a Razr Plus 2023 on discount/refurb, but the "Minus" has far less compromises than I expected, so I might go for that instead. My only gripe is that I wish there was just one more colorway for the Minus, be it either the Magenta or Glacier from the Plus 2023 or something else. The one I'm considering the most is the koala grey for the texturing. All the different material types makes me wish they would go back and do bamboo backing again like the Moto X Gen 2

I've loved my 2023 razr + (favorite phone ever) but I too got the interior screen crack after about 7 months. Moto fixed it for me with little hassle (other than initially arguing with call center people to get it fixed), but it was annoying. The new screen protector was the same as the new model btw - not having the stupid annoying cutout for the camera which just gathered grime and caught on things. Here's hoping the new hinge does indeed fix it. If so, the Razr+ 2024 with the bigger exterior screen will probably be the perfect phone. There's *just* enough times where I wish I had a bit more screen space when using the exterior one on my 23 version. The loss of ultra wide is kinda significant tho as I'm constantly having to back up with this camera as is.

Honestly I appreciate the 2x telephoto over an ultrawide. I currently have a Pixel 7Pro, and I find myself very often wanting to punch into 2x to better frame shots indoors or in close proximity, or zooming in to catch something small or in the distance I can't approach, but the ultrawide is such a drop off in quality compared to the other cameras, and the added distortion means that I would almost always rather take a few steps back to use the wide angle. I do find myself really missing my iphone Xs old 2x camera, I think we think too much in zoom, and not enough in terms of focal length, and the 2-3x lenses typically produce much more pleasing portraits than cropping the main camera, regardless of any post effect blur being applied.

I came over from Pixel 5a so naturally, I've been unsurprisingly unimpressed with my Razr+'s camera and other hardware. BUT, that said, more than I care to count: my phone has fallen from my bike's top-tube bag on singletrack and even on paved rail-trails (my fault for not securing the bag) and the phone survived mostly unscathed. I don't have a case for it (didn't like any of the ones I tried) and the only scratch is on the outside screen and I can't recall how that happened. Now, on rides when I need a fast camera with excellent pictures, I bring my 5a along for the ride...which is why I got the RAZR+: for the smaller footprint...now, I'm bringing two phones.

@TheMrMobile 15 күн бұрын

It sticks magnetically to that charger - but I think it's incidental attraction from the magnets that hold the flip closed. There's no official Qi2 certification for Razr.

No Qi2 certification, but it does stick to that charger pretty well. If I had to guess, it's probably incidental attraction from the magnets that hold the flip closed.

The Razr+ could be the perfect flip phone if it had an ultrawide instead of that weak 2x telephoto camera. Still, I would buy that if it was available in my part of the world. I'm also waiting your CMF Phone 1 review, the replaceable back cover and the ecosystem of accesories are interesting and fun. I think you would like them as an old Moto Mod fanatic.

I could not have a flagship phone without an ultrawide and a telephoto lens. I simply use them both too often. It is one reason I held off on foldable phones, too.

The switch to the telephoto lens is great for me, I rarely use the UW camera, I feel I can take 4 steps back and get the shot that i want, but I always want more reach and less distorsion when taking photos of people. I will even take the 2x over the best UW camera in the world

Man, I gotta tell ya I wish I was into the foldable space because this video just exuded fun and excitement. I've also been a longtime Moto fan, even through their missteps. I loved my Moto X, and of course the original Razr was the defining phone at release. It's great to see they still seem to have fun with their devices as opposed to coasting on a known name.

Like i dont need to be on my phone 24/7 to breathe anymore like i did 4 years ago before i started lifting😊. I got my eye on this. The s22 cat flip And the nokia 21 something rugged phone

@ibraheemmonks8866 15 күн бұрын

Ive had every Z flip available and every single one of them has ended it's life due to wear and tear. My current Z flip 5 has a yellow line going half way across the crease due to a minor drop 8 months ago, as well as a deep scratch on the screen also along the crease. The camera lense is also cracked as is the cover screen. As much as I love foldable phones I think im ready to switch back to normal ones. The cameras and battery life are the main problem, lagging behind competitors and the unique aspect ratio makes common apps like snapchat a pain to use. Durability is also a major issue with every phone developing some sort of issue along the crease after around half a year to a year of use. The cover screen for me doesn't offer enough features as of right now to make the phone worth the sacrifices and I sometimes use it simply to make use of it. Give it 5 years and I believe these phones will be fantastic, right now though is too early.

My Razr now can last about 18 hrs using Pandora for about 12 hrs, phone calls, text, Facebook, KZfaq, etc. both open and closed.. Before the update battery would last about half that with the same usage.

The repair experience is the only reason I switched from a foldable to an iPhone. Being able to walk into a store and get a same-day first-party repair or replacement almost anywhere in the world is a service not available at any price for any other device. It sucks that it limits me to such a boring and locked-down device. Here's hoping that someday I can have a fun phone again, because these new Razrs look fantastic.
