[MOTOROLA RAZR 2022 REVIEW]
Motorola. Until Apple came along, no one mattered more in mobile than the company that built the first cellphone - and there was no phone more recognizable than the RAZR. That brand name redefined the first flip phones in 2004; it helped Android conquer the smartphone world in 2011; and it resurrected the flip phone in 2019 with the world’s first mass-market foldable (that also brought back the venerable brand name).
But no amount of retro-futurism would hold off Samsung once the South Korean juggernaut decided it wanted a piece of the action. After a slow start with the Galaxy Z Flip, it went for the kill with the solid Z Flip 3 and excellent Galaxy Z Flip 4, each of which beat the Razr on the spec sheet and on the price list.
For its part, Motorola kept the world waiting nearly two years for a response. And now that the phone is finally here, Motorola’s attitude seems to be: if you can’t resonate … emulate. I’m Michael Fisher and I’ve spent two months with the Motorola Razr 2022, a wide and weird effort to duplicate Samsung’s success - by copying the copycat.

[ABOUT MRMOBILE’S MOTOROLA RAZR 2022 REVIEW]
MrMobile’s Motorola RAZR 2022 Review was produced following two months with a China-market Motorola RAZR 2022 review sample (model XT2251-1) purchased by MrMobile’s publisher Future PLC. (Special thanks to channel sponsor dbrand for facilitating that transaction.) The RAZR review sample was tested on T-Mobile from Binghamton to Brooklyn, NY and Raleigh NC. Retail device running production software (for the China market).
MrMobile does not accept compensation from the manufacturers of the products he reviews in exchange for producing content. No payment was provided and no manufacturer or carrier was afforded a preview, editorial input or copy approval rights concerning this review. The lone sponsor of this video is Surfshark.

Other reviewers all praise the new specs but you're the only one who gets the subjective *feel* of the phone and how important it is to be slim, sleek, and flippable. After losing my RAZR 5G earlier this year I anxiously awaited news of the 2022 model; and when I finally saw it, I decided to buy a new RAZR 5G because this is a massive disappointment in my book. Sad that Motorola decided to copy Samsung, but not surprised. I just hope this isn't the end for the Razr.

    The only review I’ve been waiting on. I’ve ordered mine here in the UK and with a 10% discount got it for £855 so a fantastic price. I know it has some down points like no wireless charging, not so great wide camera and no waterproofing but I think it has some great clawbacks with an outer display that you can actually use for most (unlike the flip series), a far less noticeable crease and a very good main camera. I also like the idea of the wider screen as I have quite large hands so feel this will be comfortable to use. Time will tell but really looking forward to using it and seeing how it goes.

    I have a Z4 and do like the Moto. I like the outer screen and a wider main screen (it does give the feel of more normal sized screen). The fold is also a lot less noticeable then the Z4. As for the software, we haven't seen what the European version has to offer, so the verdict is out. Having said this, I don't know if foldable phones are the future or are just a gimmick.

    I think the" wideness" is welcome. Keeps the phone's aspect ratio in check (20:9). A less wide phone probably would've yielded (in my opinion) a needlessly tall aspect ratio. While I don't mind larger phones; taller phones have been the bane of my existence ever since manufactures decided to artificially claim bigger screen sizes within the same relative foot print

    Because alas, people hate charging their phones, and the first two Razrs just do not last as long as the Z Flip, it's physically impossible without fattening it, which if they did but kept the chin, I think would be a worthy sacrifice for the masses. Honestly the 2022 "Razr" shouldn't have the name, it's obviously more akin to a Moto Edge than the icons of the ages.

    Just from an engineering standpoint to get better battery life, internal cooling and performance it has to be a bit fatter. I think i certainly prefer that form factor to the flip. Not getting a full tablet like the fold but mitigating the main downside of chunky phablets by keeping it small in the pocket. Heavily considering one because moto lets you load whatever OS you want for long term use.

    I upgraded from the v60 to the moto razr2022. I do see your points about what this phone isn't compared to previous models. I knew I wanted a foldable phone as an upgrade and the outer display was a huge selling point compared to Samsung's flip4. I use the outer display for quick calculator access for my job and messages when I need to quick message someone if I don't want to ruin movie experience for others. My biggest worry was it's an overseas phone. And I was told at&t and Verizon wouldn't be compatible. But I just popped in the sim card and thank God it worked. Your absolutely right about the software. It is buggy, and just like you said in video, the personalization app won't open for me either 😭. Personally, I use a different home launcher than the stock it comes with so it helps with my own personal customization.

    @Bas Hartman sadly enough, I had to trade it in about a week ago. 😫 everything about that phone was perfect. The display, the power behind the phone, the 120hrz display everything. What killed it, unfortunately, was a simple bug. Group text messaging. Forwhatever reason, I noticed that I was missing out on conversations or I wasn't receiving the full messages in group messages. I thought It was just the app I was using but I used every messaging app known on the app store and each had a group messaging problem. I called Verizon and they knew it was an overseas phone and couldn't really do much except keep telling me to try another app. But in the end it just got frustrating. Who knew just a basic task as group messaging would kill the experience for me. Traded it in for Fold4 (cuz I wasn't gonna go back to a Candy bar Phone). About 2 weeks ago. Haven't looked back sense

    Great honest presentation there 👍- I agree, and have made the same comments on other posts myself about naming it anything else but a RAZR, as it's lost it's iconic shape and lower chin on it,and how the top flipped into it, along with it being the described word i.e thin. it's really now all but a wannabe Samsung Flip with a slightly lager external screen, and the specs on the Samsung Flips are better anyway, so you are better off with one of them if you want a chunky flip phone. I will sticking to the previous real RAZR.

Apple will never make high refresh rate or always on display cos they are all stupid. Yet another one is Apple will never implement fast charging cos it'll kill your battery and it's stupid.

    Oppo, Vivo, Huawei, Xiaomi's foldables are already in the Chinese market and Google's R&D is going on. Asus already marketed the "foldable" laptop, so phone is not far away. You can definitely expect some competition in the coming years.

    I completely agree with all of your comments and I find it sad that they completely abandoned their indivuality in favor of fitting in. I absolutely do not like the new razr at all aestheticcally compared to the 2019 and 2020 5g models. This switch to fit it more and look like a Samsung is exactly why I will never buy the new razr cause honestly if I wanted a Samsung I would just buy a Samsung cause of the better cameras, operating systems and availability. Motorola completely dropped the ball here with this new model and hopefully the sales aren't bad enough that they discontinue the model because I would love to see them go back to the older models with better operating systems, cameras and sleek original design

    Top notch production quality and virtually perfect voice paired with the material/dialogue for delivery of your thoughts and review....thanks Michael. Now, my burning question...which carrier's SIM did you use to operate it in the U.S.? I am on the Razr 2020 and I actually love all of the editions to the 2022 though I do agree with the some of the criticisms you state regarding the aesthetic changes. At the end of the day, the "fold a big phone in half" feature has always been the biggest draw for me and I simply have an aversion to Samsung phones. I am thinking of ordering the Razr 2022 Global edition from the U.K. and using my current Razr's TMobile sim in the U.S. ...thinking that would work, thoughts?

    Two things I really liked about the RAZR 5g that Samsung did not have.. 1) the bottom "chin" 2) the ability to do most things from the cover screen. My RAZR 5g died this year... I've moved over to the Samsung flip 4 because it's Easter proof. If the RAZR had the chin, I'd have gotten that .. But now the RAZR looks like the flip 4, I went for the flip. So the cover screen, natively, the flip 4 is very limited but with third party apps I can now use it for most things except writing text. The RAZR 2022 is no longer line the old RAZR , now it is just a Samsung with less pros than the Samsung

    Having used this as my daily driver for a month now, I will say that it is maybe my favorite phone I have ever owned. Yes, I don't like the design as much as my Razr 5G, and yes, the fact that I was impatient and ordered the Chinese version does create some problems (Android Auto will not work for example), I still like this way more than the ZFlip3. I have the 5G, which I loved, but unfortunately it's not a particularly good phone (no service in my office on Verizon when all my other phones had no troubles) and switched to the Samsung. I never could enjoy the Z3 - the gutter is distracting, I hate the aspect ratio of it, and I don't really love the Samsung interface. The Razr 2022 has pretty much solved all of those issues. A total winner in my book. By the way, a decent looking cover makes the giant outside "picture frame" look go away.

    For comparison, Samsung 256gb flip4 is £1000. I've been using the China release RAZR for over 2 months. Overall a better phone than the flip4. Aesthetically it could do with a little refinement and the minor software bugs need ironing out. Main camera has potentioal. with a few updates it'll be running as smoothly as a flip. The one major feature that the RAZR needs, is to allow regular widgets on the outer display. That'd be a game changer. For example you could have sports scores or a fitness tracker displayed.
