The new Motorola Razr packs a bunch of welcome improvements like more RAM, new cameras, support for 5G and a better processor. We spent the past 10 days testing it. We’re fans of the new Quick View display options, better durability and refined design. We’d like better battery life and better camera performance in medium and low-light situations. We could do without the high $1,400 price and the squeak. (It’s a quieter squeak than the Razr we reviewed in February, but still.)

    How do you like this new NEW Razr? Is it worth $1400?

      Buy no brainer bullet proof cash rich companies:
      I bought Amazon, Apple, Nvidia, Zoom, Facebook, Microsoft, Google, Wells Fargo, Netflix
      TRUST THE PROCESS.
      The stock market goes up in the long term
      because it takes 2 steps forward for every 1 step backward.
      There’s a lot of money on the sidelines, and new 401K money

    What about pin/fingerprint lock? Not much for the security im guessing.

      There’s a fingerprint sensor on the Motorola logo on the back.

    I promise I wanted to love it but HOW do you release a $1,400 phone in 2020 without an ultra wide lens???

    Where’s the button to flip it open like their old Nextel i860?

      just add some finemechanic oil or something. contactspray maybe. there sure is something which helps.

    It would be better to open and close a tablet so you can see pub g ma’an

    Anyone pays 1400 for a phone that will no doubt be obsolete in less than a year has too much money

    I just want one because it’s different. Don’t want to spend like 1000$ for the iPhone 11 when it’s not that much different from my iPhone X
    The Motorola feels fresh

    This would be a great phone if the price was $700.

    I’m trying so hard to hold off and wait for the Z Flip 2. Something tells me it’s gonna be killer with a bigger front screen too.

    • VideoMusicManiac

      September 14, 2020 at 9:09 pm

      But the Z is a brick when folded. The Moto is sexy and folds tight.

    Don’t know why people are whining about the Snapdragon 765 chipset..come on it is really fast and should handle multitasking just fine. It is a known fact people are going to pay for the innovation and not for the flagship chipset. I find z flip as a regular phone and Motorola beats it with the usable outer display on its razr

    can it play arcaea tho

  19. Brian Hartman

    September 14, 2020 at 8:09 pm

    With all you can do with that mini screen, maybe Motorola should release a phone that’s just the size of the small screen. 🙂

    It seems nuts to me to pay $1,400 just to be able to fold your phone.

    I must say that this was a really bad 11 minute video. For so long, you just kept on saying only about the hinge and it’s price tag – a complete review should focus on other important things like cameras, performance, display etc. You really left people bored speaking the same thing again and again.

    The Razor has improved much more than the quality of your videos, sorry to say!

    A phone for the rich.

    Once economies of scale catch up and it’s about $800 I think we will have a winner.

  23. Cuentos de la Cripta

    The price is holding this back. I bet if it was cheaper people would buy it like hotcakes but shareholders dont want the numbers to increase over time, they want them to increase now. Very impatient.
