Motorola RAZR

I bought this phone 2.5 years ago for $500. I hated spending that much on a phone, when I haven't had one last more than a year in decades. I'm so glad I did. This phone is perfect. The Crease: My biggest concern, and what everyone asks me about first, was how the crease of the flip screen would hold up over time. After 2.5 years, the screen is still in perfect working condition, and I flip it open and closed A LOT. There's no loss of touch sensitivity and no sign of fatigue cracking. There is a very slight noticeable bump at the crease that you can see if you tilt your phone at the right angle when the screen is off, and you can feel it with your finger. I am super sensitive to touch and texture and it doesn't bother me. It's a gentle, smooth, bump, with no sharp features at all. Screen Protectors: The manual says to only use 1 screen protector, my phone came with two on it. Manufacturing error perhaps? After about a month the top protector started cracking at the crease and I peeled it off. The bottom layer is still on my phone and doing great today. Point is, if you see some cracking on your screen, check if it's an extra protector. And don't put more than one on. Battery Life: Still good. If I am not on it constantly, lasts the day no problem. The Flip: This phone basically has a phone stand integrated into it. Just flip it half-open and you can take hand's free selfies, watch videos, join conference calls, whatever. Once, I was at an airport and ended up sitting next to some Samsung salesmen. The one guy was trying to tell me that Samsung flip phones were better because they can stand up half open. He was so surprised that my Motorola did that just fine too lol. Color: I mean, it's probably not the most important thing, but I do adore the pink. Durability: I mentioned above how often I need to replace phones. Part of that is my tendency to drop them on concrete. I've dropped this several times, not always while closed, and it remains fully functional, barely even a scratch. Summary: This phone is fantastic.

This is probably the second or third time I have ordered a phone from Amazon and I have had perfect success to this point. I bought a couple of iPhones previously for my kids too. Anyway, shipping and delivery was outstanding, and I paid $500 for it which is reasonable for this phone. I like the fact that Motorola has two models of flip phones, so I had a choice to get the less premium option to keep the cost in check. Now for the phone.. I came from the Motorola edge plus 2023, which is a premium flagship to this phone. I can slightly detect some differences in processing but it's negligible. For $500 this phone is a big win for me. I much prefer the ergonomics of this phone over my old full size models over the past ten years or more, and I don't think I'll ever go back. I always got full screen models too, so being able to have a 6.7" screen that folds in half before disappearing into the pocket is pure magic. The only thing that may be a drawback is battery life. It's obviously not as long as my edge plus, but I adapted to it in a day or two, and it's really not that significant of a difference TBH. If I lost this phone right now I'd buy another one just like it. For sure. And I have rarely ever felt like that about others I've had. This is a good phone, but it glitches at times with odd stuff, like screen size on YouTube and weird stuff like that it apparently has trouble identifying or something. But I haven't had anything that even needed to reset it or something like that. Just know it is one of the acceptable issues. Heck, my edge plus had them too... Just random stuff like that every once in awhile. I think that covers the positives and negatives. I did have a chance to compare it to the premium Motorola razr and the Samsung flip phones, and I settled on the Motorola's easily. The Samsung, while cool and pretty smooth, don't seem as solid and attractive as the Razr's. I opted for the lower tier phone because I didn't think I would benefit from the big outside screen, as I thought I would just open it up anyway, and I was correct. I actually do use the outer screen on this phone though. Usually the timer and the time display. Too early to say for sure, but this seems like the best phone I've had since the LG V10 I had around 10 years ago, when they had a replacement battery option and I got a 10000 mah external battery case from Zero lemon. That was the shizznipplzes I tell you!! Seems like a novel phone in my eyes and has changed my phone handling ways for the better.

Great phone for about 6 months. Now it's decided I'm always touching the middle of the screen where it folds so it just does whatever it wants. Folding screen is a good idea that doesn't hold up.

I've had this phone for 2 years and its basically everything I'd want from a phone of this price. It's fast performing, durable, good audio and screen. The fold functionality works great and doesn't impact the screen. The camera quality is lacking, but not severely and I'm fine with that given the price. The external display is a little bit buggy, often times failing to read gestures or reading them incorrectly, but it works well enough. Motorola's OS also has some room for improvement. Battery life is fine and can be improved by limiting the external display if needed. I decided to try this cheaper Motorola phone after having dealt with overpriced Samsung phones that felt apart and LG phones that suffered from planned obsolescence. Overall, its a great phone for the price and I'd recommend it in a heartbeat.

I am a very average smartphone user and just can't justify spending the $1k or more that most phone manufacturers want to charge for their flagship phones. I just need a phone with a good camera, decent storage and enough oopmh to be able to quickly browse apps and social media. I don't do gaming or use a lot of the bells and whistles most phones come with. I was intrigued by the flip form factor and old enough to remember how much I loved my pride and joy, a Motorola razr phone circa 2007. I thought I would try a Motorola again since I haven't had one since that original razr. I found myself irritated almost on a daily basis with my Pixel phone not fitting into my pants pockets, so this return to the compact flip phone has been an absolute pleasure. I find that I don't lose my phone anymore because I'm not constantly setting it down in random spots, it's always in my pocket. The phone is zippy enough to load webpages and photos quickly when browsing. The user interface is really similar to my Pixel, which I loved. It's uncluttered, simple to use and intuitive (unlike my husband's Samsung which I hate using). I truthfully haven't used half the bells and whistles I'm sure this phone comes with, but that's one of the reasons I didn't buy a super high end phone in the first place. I have dropped it a couple times in the open and closed position with no issues, even though I don't have a case on it. The texture on the back of the phone makes it really nice to handle and keep hold of, as it's not slippery like most phones. I went into a store and test drove the Samsung Flip 5 phone and hated the feel of the crease in the screen. On the razr the crease is honestly so incredibly minimal you immediately forget it's there. I was worried switching to a flip phone that the crease would drive me nuts while scrolling but it's been a complete non issue. Battery life is pretty good so far. I can make it through the day without a recharge unless it's one of those days where I'm doing a ton of browsing. I basically don't use the tiny outer screen for anything except checking the time, but I knew going in that I wasn't the kind of person who enjoys using a tiny screen, which is why I didn't spend the extra on the razr plus. One annoying thing if you happen to have a Tesla, this will not charge properly on the Tesla's wireless charge pad because the charging spot inside the phone is too low to align with the charging spot on the pad of the car. I've worked around it by putting a little wedge on the pad to boost the phone up to the right spot, but it's annoying for sure. It charges fine on a normal wireless pad, although a bit slowly. It charges very quickly if plugged into a charger. Overall a really solid user experience, except for... The camera. Ugh. I'm not savvy enough to know if this is a hardware or software issue with Motorola's but the delay time from when you press the capture button to when the picture is captured is excruciating. For someone who is often taking pictures of little kids and animals who never hold still, that means I basically never get the shot I wanted. It's honestly so painful that it may be a deal breaker for this phone. I switched to this phone from a FIVE YEAR OLD Pixel phone and the razr camera is SO much worse. Shots are often blurry and it struggles so hard in lower light conditions. I have had this phone for almost a month now and I am already keeping an eye on new flip phones coming out because I can't wait to upgrade to one that has a decent camera. I will likely hold onto this one just long enough to find something with a better camera but I am truly disappointed because I feel like this phone had it almost perfect for an average user like me who is interested in getting into a flip smartphone without shelling out the big bucks.

It's a great phone for someone who wants a flip phone, but work requires you to have a smartphone. It does everything you need it to, is snappy, battery lasts me all day, ETC Very pleased with the user experience. The camera is good in bright light, but struggles in low light. The form factor is fantastic; slips in your pocket and is way easier to run with. If you're a doom scroller, this will seriously help you cut down on screen time since you'll need to open your phone to use it. I have some concerns about the durability. I'm about 6 months into ownership, and I'm starting to see creasing on the screen protector (which you have to use the factory one or void your warranty), but the phone has performed admirably, and I want to see more phones like this one hit the market. One thing i will note: if you work with metal, don't buy this phone. the hinge will get seriously messed up by metal shavings, but if you're an office worker you'll be fine.

I've only had my phone for a week and I'm pretty simple as far as phones go so this is the most expensive phone I've ever bought. I normally use 100-130 dollar Walmart phones on my att plan because I break them regularly. Over the last few years I've been severely disappointed as the phones just keep getting bigger and bigger and now they don't even fit in your pocket anymore. Thus how I justified spending 3 times the money on this phone. I've been looking at it for a year but was terrified of the screen folding wouldn't last and the touch screen would be a pain and not function correctly however this phone works fantastic and when folded fits in my pocket great. I'm still concerned about it holding up over time being opened and closed regularly. All I can say is if it will last close to a year and they keep making it (Everytime I like something they quit making it) but if it'll make it 8months I love it enough to just buy a new one every 8 months. If your thinking about trying it and are looking for a smaller phone that fits in your pocket while maintaining all online usage shopping Facebook etc etc this is definitely the answer. I also love that they sell the base model that doesn't have a big screen on the front so it's as simple as it can be for as fancy as it is. 🤣 Buy it try it and you'll love it

Saw a lot of mixed reviews but mine came in like it was brand new. No screen issues. It said cricket at the start but took my Sim just fine. So far so good!

I broke my Australian version razr23 and I wanted another one but the phone I got from you is locked and I can't use it.can it be unlocked for Australian use with the Optus network.would be appreciated.
