Is it still the abysmal 2 years of OS support and security patches on Motorola phones?

It’s now 3 years of OS support. But I really don’t depend on them being among the fastest to push the update.

I have a flip 4 and hardly ever close the phone actually, so bigger front screen means nothing really, especially since it probably has worse battery because of it. Looks cool anyway.
pijesz
June 1, 2023 at 9:26 pm
Shouldn’t the battery last longer since you now use the bigger screen less?

60 Hz on outside and 120 Hz on inside then invest more into the cameras would have the better decision. But otherwise this is a genuinely compelling offering that makes me feel very optimistic for Motorola for the first time in a long time.

Great video, one small criticism, if CNET is going to have close ups in 4k of presenters hands they should spring for manicures.

Motorola Razr is the forerunner of mobile telephony, so what we see is that the King has returned to take the place that Apple took from him, now he returns with the latest technology, Bravo for Motorola, this Razr is a Wonder of technology! see if Apple already leaves its comfort zone that always presents the same iphones with the odd little detail and nothing more !!

As a die-hard iPhone user since launch, I am really jonesing for this new Razr. My phone immediately prior to owning the first iPhone was a Razr and I loved it! This exterior display is so customizable that I am actually feeling a mix of nostalgia and envy.

The cheaper Razr was the one I completely ignored like everyone did for the Denver Nuggets and Miami Heat all season. It looks exactly like a Flip 3 and 4 but a smaller cover display at 1.5″. But if rumored price at $799, it’s got me interested in it a little more.
I probably would still prefer getting the Razr+ mainly for the bigger cover display and better SoC. But I wouldn’t mind getting the cheaper Razr as I surprisingly don’t use the 2.7″ cover display on my Razr 5G a lot except for GMaps and watching videos. I usually open the phone when I want to use it. And who wants to reply to texts using that 2.7″ display? The keyboard already takes up half the screen.
The Razr 40 (non-plus) has surprised me with the build quality. No more glass from top to bottom. As Michael Fisher has stated, it has that pleather (plastic/leather) that the BlackBerry Bold 9000 had in 2008. I like that feeling. It looks way more durable than any foldable flip phone I’ve seen.
It’s cheaper.
It’s durable.
It has stamina.
I think the cheaper Razr is the way to go for most people who aren’t into tech. There are already question marks about the durability with foldables. The cheaper Razr is the one you don’t have to spend so much to take on those risks. It has everything the Razr+ has except the SoC and large cover display.
The more budget-friendly Razr will open the doors for more affordable foldables. Samsung will copy this and will eventually release cheaper models of their Z Folds and Flips. Everything always boils down to price for most consumers. When more budget-friendly foldables gets released, we’ll eventually get to that sub-$500 barrier.
Razr+ is the better phone. The cheaper Razr might end being the more important release the way the $600 Pixel 6 or A-series did for Google.

Good smartphones, but frankly neither of the 2 is a good deal in my opinion, I mean in my opinion.
Unless you’re a diehard Motorola fan, or a Samsung hater, the Flips 4 and 5 are better options.
The Razr + Ultra at $1000 loses to Samsung’s upcoming Flip 5 which will have an external screen almost as large as Motorola’s, a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and especially a better software tracking , and the standard Razr is not even a competitor for the Flip 4 which is very often around $700 new.

When are you ever gonna be typing on your mini screen instead of opening your phone in like 2 seconds? They’re trying to create use cases that don’t exist

Cool but why did it have to look like every other flip out right now? The first one with the chin design that actually looked like a razor was much better

The Razor- is the name of the budget version! 1:04 a 6.9 inch Foldable with 12gb Ram & 144hz Motorola knocked it out of the park! The last AWESOME phone with 6.9″ display was the Note20 Ultra!

These are so stupid. The normal shape is wxactly right for the size of your pocket and your hand. Moto says, how can we f— this up. Got it! Make it the shape of half a brick and require people to unfold it every time. Be sure to put a crease in it so doing anything on it is impossible. Then, charge a fortune. By MOTOROLA™️

How long is the support on this phone? I know Motorola usually only gives one OS system update and 2 years of support at most, so I’m wondering if they’ve given longer support seeing as this is a $1000 phone
partick1701

Motorola is promising three years of major OS upgrades to the Razr+, with 4 years of bi-monthly security updates.

Can’t see point in Razr non plus. Secondly, I think they should just release a small screen phone for those that just want a compact phone….since no more iPhone minis released. 4.5” would be fab.

You can’t actually call this innovation, because adding an auxiliary display is nothing but a smaller display, and it does nothing productive to your daily usage
