What exactly is your definition of a “gimmick”? These new modern foldable phones fill a very real need and they were never a gimmick of any kind. In the early 2000’s phones kept getting smaller and smaller until they were ridiculously small because that is what people wanted. But not long after the iPhone came out they started getting bigger and bigger until they were ridiculously big and bulky to cart around. And if these types of new flip phones had come out right after the iPhone was introduced they would have been hugely popular. But today most people have become so accustomed to carrying around these huge phones that they cannot even see the need for a more compact phone even if it has the same size screen as the larger phones. As more and more people see the utility of these things however they will become more and more popular over time. As for me I was never happy at all carrying around a bulky modern smart phone and I was always counting the days until they developed the foldable screen. Anyway, I bought the Razr 5G a few years ago and I could not be happier with it, although I will likely get the new Razr Plus when it goes on sale here.

@@JoffreyJoseph - That’s certainly possible, but you seem to be forgetting that even more than 20 years ago, back when phones were just phones, pretty much ALL standard flip phones had a tiny external display which would give you information like the time, date and caller ID, etc. They were not a “gimmick” 20 yeas ago and they are certainly not a gimmick today. The very small external display on the first Z-Flip was basically just serving the same very useful purpose as those external displays on the early non smart flip phones, only with a bit more functionality. Then Motorola decided to change the game and make the external display so big that you could have almost full functionality on it. Still, I'm afraid this will never lead to phones getting smaller overall, as you say. In the early 2000’s people wanted phones that were smaller and smaller but since the original iPhone came out people have wanted bigger and bigger displays every year, which has driven phones to become so massive compared to the original iPhone that you can hardly wrap your hand around them. And this of course was the impetus for coming up with foldable displays which allow users to have those giant displays but still be able to fold the phone into a more practical size. People in general are never going to want smaller main displays however and thus smaller phones. Its just not going to happen.

I think this is a great idea with the big external display on the front.

Will be good enough for messaging.

Got mine for free with line on t-mobile. The screen is fucking gorgeous. Love mine. The colors are outstanding and speakers are pretty good for how thin it is. It's a huge upgrade from the past models. Battery is waaaaay bigger than last one. Really only issue I have is the fingerprint button I keep hitting it when folding and putting it in my pocket. Lol. The fact that they didn't cripple the front display and let you use pretty much any app on the front is amazeballs. Last but not least it charges friggin fast.

Motorola basically made the true compact transformer phone + the flip to answer phones! Love it! Can do everything on small one screen and have option for (pretty huge imo-6.9' phablet!) big screen. Amazing phone . Thats the first one I'm considering to get from flip/folds.

Best Motorola Razr 40 Ultra review! I just bought the phone and the Nexdock. Perfect combination 👌 Thank you.

Do you know if it's possible to change the home screen (the one the screen goes to when I click the o at the bottom)? I've been trying to change it to a different screen page but couldn't.

Question. When extended open, and video recording when you zoom in does the image get grainy?

Im looking forward to try this one look like a wery nice device😊 Seems good to not always have to open the phone. More relaxing to use this i hope

Agree with all the appreciation on this video. Very thorough objective and unbiased review.

I had a single Motorola phone in my entire life, maybe 6 years ago, which wasn't even a flagship phone, and I still miss its features like the shake gesture to turn on my flashlight. And this phone in particular is significantly more innovative than anything I've seen. The fact that the external display can access a fully functional Android OS makes the foldability actually useful. I'd absolutely love to use those back cameras for selfies on that nice full-sized back display, not to mention comfortably reading messages on it without having to open the phone.

What clock weather widget is that on your home screen?! (Thank you in advance)

Ready for is a great feature. But why Moto cancelled wired connection at the 2023 RAZR. 2022 model has wired ready for...😢

Any ideas on if we should wait for the Samsung z flip 5? I really want one of these though!!! patience sucks lol

I love it the moto ultra I just got the s24 recently is it worth a trade in ?? Is the battery life good? & the camera? 😊

It's still not my form factor, but man the future of foldables is becoming brighter

Does Razr plus kind of wiggle a pit sideways when fully closed? I watched other review and he was saying you can kind of feel it move when closed.

I can't wait for the day there's a button by the hinge that springs it open

Do you use screen protector in this?

I have a 45 n 50 watts charger and works just fine it still takes the 30 watt charging speed no problem

What's Zoom like? How far does it go? Is it blurry?

If I take some photos or video, is there an easy way to transfer the photos and video to my Galaxy Tab 8?

Any chance on reviewing the Asus Zenfone 10?

With my Motorola Rarz Ultra/Plus I can: 1. Read/reply to email without opening the phone. 2. Read/reply to text messages without opening the phone. 3. Read/reply to chat messages without opening the phone. 4. Make/answer calls without opening the phone. Consequently the battery lasts 3/4 day without having to recharge it.
