[MOTOROLA RAZR 2019 HANDS-ON / MOTOROLA RAZR 2020 HANDS-ON]
The re-imagined Motorola Razr is part flashy technological feat and part practical portability perk, sold at a premium price despite some forgettable specs. If you’re thinking that sounds familiar, then you much have been around for the first Motorola RAZR launch back in 2004! Despite its high price, that RAZR product family would go on to sell 130 million units over the next four years, going down in the history books as the most successful flip phone of all time. Can Motorola capture lightning in a bottle again? I recently got a sneak peek at the company's flexible-display flagship branded simply "razr" - and while my enthusiasm for the foldable category doubtless colors my impression, I came away hopeful for the Motorola brand name for the first time in four years.

This is the phone line that I want to see step up to Apple. The design and character goes a long way. The expected level of improvement generations bring should be enough to make it worth having. I miss hanging up with a clap.
I remember my razor back in the day. Those were the days when I was active in clubbing scene. It gone through so much drama. I vividly remember the 8MB of memory which I had to wrestle with all the time when I was trying to take a picture and make a video. Good ol'times.
They fucked up if they stuck at least a 3500 amp or above I'd have wanted one
I am not going to buy a folding phone until they become cheaper and more durable
I would probably buy the galaxy z flip I really don’t like big chin and it looks odd
Absolutely love this device..$1500 well worth it I do recommend the sleeve as well
Nothing wrong in having a chin..We’ve all got chins.
nice showing
What if they made it with a 16:9 display? I'm still not giving up my Razer Phone 2 with ring sticker. Easier access to the whole screen
Awesome but not worth the price
This folds alright, it folds your bank account!
Id rather the samsung flip.i doubt these are gonna sell.the old razar sold cause it was actually good.but samsungs flips specs camera n looks n everything is just better n more sleek.
I love it. I want it to succeed but like Blackberry Priv, KeyOne, and Key2 (I own one), it may be priced too high to compete.
The price killed everything.
$2700 in Australia. With a late February release date, and yes I had to preorder one !
If the phone was cheaper than 1500$ I would've considered it.even with monthly payments, I don't know if I could justify getting it.
Its a set up!! Wait till they come up with series 2 and 3 it will have all of what ur saying.
Moto you lost your mind on this crappy phone RIP
This is awesome and I want one. You also didn't mention that now that the phone folds to protect the screen, most people will have no need to bother with a phone case or any kind of protector for this phone.
Looks cool n' all, but I'm just a normie... so I'll get another Note
If I ever migrate to the Android - I want this phone or it’s successor (I hope this experiment will be successful and pay off to Motorola). I used to have Motorola phones when I was teenager and I loved it. I still have E398 in a working condition. That stereo effect though! P.S. Samsung Fold looked like a joke before I saw Razr, and not it’s just seems to be fake not a good folding phone.
The only way this could be better would be if the small front display was *e-ink:* imagine how much longer would it last, how you could read anything even in direct sunlight... Otherwise it seems pretty much perfect.
Moto actions are so underrated
Motorola is back!
1,500? Does that include a trip to Hawaii??
I want I want!! Sick of Samsung and apple
Looks really uncomfortable for gaming 😧
Impressed with this phone 👍
Can't wait for this phone
Can you game on the small screen
I bought a Blackberry Priv after i saw your review, still using it and happy with its performance. But the phone is starting to show its age a little. Maybe my next upgrade will be a foldable phone. This is on the top of the list. Yeah i like unconventional weird phones. Nothings gonna change that. Edit: I guess i'm that certain kinda person you mention at the end of the video. Still gonna wait for your full review tho
Wow so chic.
Since the release date has been pushed back I hope Motorola is improving the software to rival Samsung. For $1,500 they owe the people that much.
What the best thing about not being super intent on having the flashiest and newest thing is that you don’t get first generation problems. I think folding screens are cool, but I’m more than happy to let other people deal with the teething issues related to new technology.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
1500 dollars is a bit much for a phone with a 710 processor.
And the majority of those that will buy this, don't give a rats ass about the processor.
@男名前のない Nevertheless
But it's no usual phone
Haha thks but no thks
I'm using like that moto
Where is the link to the razr video from Motorola
$1500? Fuck that!!! The last Motorola Razr I owned costed $39.99 brand new. I'd pay maybe $60 for it.
When it’s folded it reminds me of a pager 📟💯. Now that’s gangster. Fuck the iPhone
Me:"I heard a legend is just a myth! " (Motorola release their famous folding phone) Me:"So the legend is true!!! "
I still have the original razr flip phone from Verizon in mint condition. Can I retrofit it to work with Verizon modern cell towers? If not what is the trade in value?
It's the only worth it phone in the world to me. for more than 10 years i never got excited for a phone
I will definetly buy it, or whatever cheap version comes out, when my current phone dies, or accidently falls on a bat of hot lava....
I just want a JerryRig video
Wow, gotta get me one of thes.... Oh, 1500 bucks. Nah!
What is name of music at beginning of video ?
This phone will only use android 9, operating system. Not the android 10. It won't be 5G compatible, battery life it's short (compare to an Samsung's Galaxy S10 plus). But it looks like it doesn't have a earphone jack.
Dear Motorola, Three critical things - *1) Get the price down.* - At a grand or slightly under, it will sell. $1500.00 crosses into the 'bling thing' niche market. Expect the person holding it to also have keys to a Tesla P-Series in their pocket. *2) Form factor vs. battery life* - this is a foregone conclusion that should have been addressed via wireless charging. Packing it with a portable charging cradle that has a 5000+ mah battery inside it probably won't help address point #1, but it makes a hell of a lot more practical sense when you consider the user experience against that asking price. *3) What were you thinking with that camera?* - a huge chunk of the market (predominantly female - hint, hint) has been eliminated by this rudimentary camera setup. There's already a bump, for crying out loud - put something decent in it, and do it *before* you offer this in pink. I look forward to a 2nd generation RAZR that addresses these issues - which is virtually guaranteed by Apple's planned abandonment of a physical charging plug (making wireless charging 'cool' again), and Motorola's recovered R&D expenses via sales profit from the 1st gen RAZR (money doubtless spent by early adopters with more dollars than sense).
Also - Android NINE? Just why? And why is the interface using Android soft buttons when you guys designed the Smart Navigation Bar to work *using the fingerprint sensor* in *THAT EXACT SPOT?*
This is the first phone that has interested me in years. My current phone is 4 years old, and I've seen no reason to run out and replace it. Now I'm certainly not going to pay $1500 for a phone, but give this a year or two, and an affordable used option will certainly be available if not a cheaper new one. So this is definitely on my radar. I loved my original RAZR back in the day, and have missed the flip form factor ever since.
Tony, Tony is thet you! Lol! Hello Mr Stark!
I buyed last time 6 when the release And I still until now Since 7 I leaved waiting new model Since x I dont track new model I didnt watch 11's any videos YET 😂 And now I'm very happy about this decision🌹❤💕👏👏👏👏👏
I feel same emotion as like release N900 Woow I was young and ı miss those emotions 😂😁😂
I almost love it Moto motion and active display are a must The flip is cool and nostalgic But the camera and price are are turning me off. Plus I'm on AT&T... guess I'll stick with the Moto X
Iron mans new phone lol
ergaliaria xronia pollh igies astenon telon
Samsung: Hey, we've worked out how to fold a screen! Motorola: Hold my beer.
This is the future. A small phone that can be everything is just ideal, even a large screen phone
It' s just a curved hinge phone of good idea, but too expensive.
the future... ♥
Price is very more in indea
I realy need that phone
Honestly...Motorala just killed the iPhone one-piece large phone design in what seems like an almost accidental shot. How the fuck did this happen?
Except for the price - I love this! Only thing I'd change is some more metallic outer finnish. Like a dark blue or something. But damn it's nice.
Very intriguing design. Opening price might be a little bit high, but early adopters are often ready to pay a premium... I guess in mid 2020 it will drop below 1000 bucks, and then it starts to get interesting for more people. I believe that 600 bucks would be the sweet spot for this. Maybe with a cellular contract it will be cheap enough. I'm looking forward to get one as soon as it becomes affordable. Let's wait and see.
I'll wait for the next upgraded one
2 year old tech with low battery for $1500. i don't think so.
Can you review the axon 10 pro
Dude you should narrate for Hollywood movies, you got the talent. No joke, give it a shot.
