New Motorola Razr 5G: Hands-on first impressions

First, yes, there was a Motorola Razr released in February. But now there’s a brand-new version that aims to solve some problems and some nitpicks people had about that phone. The new 5G Razr has a Snapdragon 765G processor, 8GB of RAM, 256GB of storage (and of course, support for 5G). The phone is now made of aluminum and glass. Perhaps the biggest improvement is that the Razr is no longer an exclusive on Verizon — meaning you’ll be able to buy one unlocked that will work on AT&T or T-Mobile and those carriers’ sub-6 version of 5G. The new Motorola Razr will be out this fall for $1,400.

    How do you like the new Motorola Razr? Is this your favorite foldable phone?

      In my opinion it’s almost the same phone

      This guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about, this is pretty much just an ad. And by the way, it’s polished graphite, not granite. Makes me feel like he’s reading off a script.

      Aside from the Cover screen and Nostalgic Effect. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5G is way better than this… Especially the cheaper 4G Z Flip

    Battery is way too small. Otherwise I like it.

    If I had a ton of extra money, I would buy it so that I can have that and my iPhone. I just really don’t want to use Android but I want to play with that for factor! It would be so fun for awhile!

    The price is a bit off-putting but I’m liking the new RAZR 5G. 💯

    If I was on Android this would be a done deal for me. Very cool

    Listen, a folding phone WILL come out in the next few years for 900, and when it does, it will be in my hands first

    No fingerprint sensor?

    I have no clue why people still buy regular glass slabs when you can either folding phone or dual screen phone…. The new Razr is awesome

    I feel bad for the people who spent 1400 on a first gen. They aren’t even worth half that anymore. You lost so much money on a “prototype” technology.

    The number of OS updates should be 4 because it has a premium price. Also, I liked to see how Motorola adapted it’s 15 years old iconic design for the 2020 device. It looks natural, not over-engineered.

    Great design and I think they have one upped Samsungs zflip! Glad to see it on other carriers too. Great video!

    I think this is the way folding phones will go mainstream, we’ve been making phones smaller and smaller (thiner) for decades, to the point where all we had left to lose was the bezels, Moto have done miles better than Samsung at making a desirable folding phone, the z flip is ugly (in my opinion) and the fold, while drool worthy from a geek standpoint, is far too big and expensive for most people! I am really hoping that next year we will see an S21 Fold/Z.
    But back to Moto, beautiful design with noteworthy improvements and a price cut! I’ve missed clam shell phones and this just brings back so many fond memories I am considering switching from Samsung to Motorola!

    Moto we know you can do it so please make pro version with the 865 and deck out and I’ll buy it. 765 just can’t do it for me. I really like the concept of these foldable phone and how they can do it differently

  23. CabbageGod

    September 10, 2020 at 1:01 am

    The price is a bit more than I could ever spend on a phone but I love this so much.

    This will be a classic in 25 years. Grandkids will ask if I remember when we carried a cell phone everyday. Son, people use to stare at them all day long. Thats why old people walk hunched over now, if they leave the house.

    Loved this review😋

  27. Metalmachine467

    September 10, 2020 at 6:32 am

    Junk that isn’t even worth half price in 3 months lol
    Look it up on ebay an iPhone x is worth more
    Now if you really want a foldable phone get a Samsung zflip they hold their value

  28. Metalmachine467

    September 10, 2020 at 6:39 am

    Common cnet where is that folding machine to see how fast you can flip it until it snaps
    Save your money get a Samsung
    I know I bought the original razr and it froze when using the camera complete junk
    Don’t be a sucker like me

    An ugly looking thing

  30. Norman Edwards

    September 10, 2020 at 7:04 am

    It’s to bad they don’t have a rugged flip phone so they can put in a larger battery like 4000 mAh. The price is still to high it should be $999.00

  31. Genghis Khan

    September 10, 2020 at 9:11 am

    awesome phone with small battery…such shame..imaggine phone,that size with xiaomi mi max 3 battery

  32. flaccid acid

    September 10, 2020 at 9:29 am

    The high price is probably to recover their high r&d costs to make this .No way all those parts together cost that much

  33. Nicolas Belin

    September 10, 2020 at 9:39 am

    6:32 Looks like a 50 year old TV.

    Looks awesome. Used to work in a phone shop back in the day when we sold the OG RAZR’s – nice product.
    Wireless charging would have been a nice add on but i get it would have had to be thicker and impede on the design and that other deep crimson red colour would have been nice too..

    Just imagining iOS on it.
    I know, I know.. dont hate me but only 2yr updates isn’t great.. should be 3-4yrs and the creativity apps on iOS are much better for music making.

    But I really like it – oooh nostalgia! 😉

    If only they could bring the price down. And they don’t end up trying to compete with Samsung in the camera department. They could get ideas from the Pixel phones that mainly rely on software instead of hardware to liven up pictures. Also, the OG Razr was loved for its sleek style, and this iteration does seem to capture that look.

    DOA. Premium price, lack of premium tech.

  37. Shiran Sandeep

    September 10, 2020 at 11:03 am

    moto razr looks absolutly beautiful and iconic but compared to z flip I think Z flip is better interms of specs and optics (addition of ultra wide) and better functionality and features. But still this is not a time for a fold/flips. after few generations of fold/flips is good to go with a cheaper price tag.

  38. stern who

    September 10, 2020 at 11:19 am

    Reduce to $999 and watch sales soar.

  39. Cumulus Humilis

    September 10, 2020 at 11:51 am

    is this an ad? and better looking than the zflip? i don’t think so. and don’t get me started with the specs difference

  40. Clinton Anderson

    September 10, 2020 at 12:21 pm

    Not even at a 3rd of that price…… Pass

    Can you review new Moto G9

  43. Matthew Sullivan

    September 10, 2020 at 1:44 pm

    I held off on the first model but I’m gonna pick up this model on day one! So glad all reviews are positive this time around! Can’t wait!

  44. Small Fry

    September 10, 2020 at 2:53 pm

    Is this phone also available in 4g only? I think I read that somewhere

  45. Jimmy Mora

    September 10, 2020 at 5:17 pm

    I will not purchase this phone. The flexible screen is the exact same as it’s predecessor. It’s easily scratched and after two months of use, the backplate left indentions on the screen.

  46. Lightfire LP

    September 10, 2020 at 6:47 pm

    I thought that This is a 100$ phone but iam Sure its probably over 800$ or something

  47. David Tch

    Shut up and take my money 💰 😤

  48. Vested

    Would still rather have an iPhone still pretty cool tho

    I have started saving money now, might take 2 years till I get my first Foldable.

    Want to get the Razr again! Just can’t forget my V3i 😅
