- Motorola has resurrected its beloved Razr phone, a staple of mid-2000s cool, as a foldable device. The new Razr distinguishes itself from the Galaxy fold and Huawei's Mate X by folding vertically instead of horizontally. Unfolded, it looks like a regular smartphone, albeit one with a chunky "chin", but folded in half it's practically pint-sized, with a small front display to see your notifications, control media, or take a selfie. There's still a lot of questions when it comes to durability and foldables, but the new Razr feels extremely well constructed, and folds in half with no visible gap. It does have a few downsides, including a mid-range processor, single camera, and questionable battery capacity, but this is the first foldable we could see ourselves using as a daily device.

Yes now i can go back to dramatically hanging up on people
Young Reap omg I had forgotten 😂😂🤧
😂😂😂
Motorola should do a funny Ad showing this "feature"
...after sending them an angry text message since people are so dumb these days they use their phone to type text instead of just saying it.
*Exactly.*
Same. Now I just need a cell phone that will give me the satisfying clang of slamming the receiver onto the hook so hard it makes the bell ring.
After 15 years, again I've the golden opportunity to disconnect the call in attitude.
Nothing beats the old ma bell land line. You could slam that phone down so hard they would detect it as an earthquake
I work a desk job. I know the feeling everyday
People should try to spend 1500 dollars, Month for Month, then put the Money on the Table and decide if its worth to buy this Phone.
I miss those days.
You can still disconnect with attitude on a smart phone. The other day I told someone to go f*** themselves and then presses the little hang-up icon and gingerly put my phone down because I don’t want to damage the screen after just getting it replaced. I did it with a lot of attitude in my expression.
I’d love to see Motorola make a come back with this phone.
Not with 1.5k price tag... But I hope they keep this up. This is a step in the right direction no doubt!
@@JiewenTan Agreed, perhaps the next gen of it will be what we hope for
How when they only release it on one carrier?
Lord Shadowz when the original version released it bought about a lot of technical innovation for mobile phones in general. It was a new benchmark, which is a good thing for the consumer.
Although it’s only on one carrier, I’d still love to see it do well! Despite its limited reach.
alkerbix I already know this. I owned one. I became a phone tester for Motorola back when they made windows smart phones and then moved to android. I was part of a program. I still have many old Motorola devices in a box in the basement. I ended up moving to the iPhone and that was that. As I said, however, they are alienating more people by releasing this massive device’s release on one single carrier than there are on that one carrier. It’s a stupid move. You don’t put all of your eggs in one basket. I’d buy the RAZR again and switch from the iPhone. I can’t. I don’t like Verizon. I switched FROM Verizon because of how I was treated by their customer service. So I cannot get the RAZR. They’ve alienated me. I don’t care if it succeeds if Motorola doesn’t care if I can even get their device.
Finally a smartphone which doesn't look like the other ones
Why does the look of you phone matter
@@rotimika Why does anything in life matter? To me, phone performance and display resolution ceased to matter somewhere in 2013. Since then, all phone specs have been blown up into totally unnecessary heights unless you mean to put your phone into VR goggles or play 3D games on it - neither of which I do. Any of the plethora of essentially identical smartphones on the market can do what I need - I've been using a 2017 model for the past three years and not once did I feel the need for more performance or higher display resolution. The only thing that can actually make any difference for me is the visual design - and this Razr is literally the first meaningful shift in smartphone design in the last decade or so.
This phone will definately serve the real purpose of Motorola. To become the talk of the town!
Agree. I’m am iPhone user, and feel this is going to be the new trend. I have wanted to see a “modern” flip phone for a while now.
Yeah....talking about getting a second job in town!
Until Galaxy Fold 2 comes out with its compact design.
@@darrylfranks6976 😂
That’s by far the best foldable screen phone I’ve seen yet! It’s what people have been crying out for! A small phone that opens to a big one, not a small tablet!!
One thing missing, it doesn’t come in all the other colors we used to enjoy like hot pink or orange or even gold!
enjoy?
Thats where spray paint comes in.
Ok
Debrand skin?
Yet!!😁
Imagine traveling back in time to when having the normal Razr was cool and flexing so hard
I wouldn't be reading your comment on my phone
This feels like something that should have existed a long time ago
ThePhantasticFule
Feels like a step backward
The design is straight out of 2008
It did it was called a flip phone bro
Same
This is how smart phones should have been made in the first place.
Honestly Motorola has something special here. Design wise it’s really cool.
Yeah ! The design is really cool but the specs are disapointing for a phone still not out yet. It has outdated specs from 2 years ago. For 1500$ I would have prefered better specs so it would last for a couple years more.
Totally agree
@@jamescarruthers3593 its not for specs it's for style peasant
@@jamescarruthers3593 The specs will improve for the second gen version. Right now it's this way only because it's a pioneering gadget
@@tiadaid I'm sure they will. I can't wait to see the reviews when it comes out. I really love the idea and the was they seem to have done it.
I will patiently waiting for this kind of phone to be affordable. Because I do think phone this day are too big to fit in my pocket and hand.
Your pocket is too small
Foldables are expected to be more fragile so drop=rip screen
Your hand is to small.
@@imeakdo7 well why would you drop it?
Pancho 507 Well, that’s why the screen is on the inside.
Imagine traveling back in time and swapping this phone with someone random guy's flip phone
They would flip
🤯
This is one of the most impressive electronics in years. I didn't really care too much about foldables until I see this phone. I'm a simple guy. I prefer my personal stuff compact
I'm gonna totally buy it when it becomes cheaper.
It can also do selfie and normal photos with one camera, and seems like easier to take selfies with because of folded size. Kinda great!
Kudos to Motorola! The second and third gen of this are going to be amazing.
Hope the price becomes half then only it will be a huge hit
honestly this somehow brings back memories im almost in tear
just so hype for the age that we will have unique design like in early 00’s
i folded my wallet when i heard the price.
LMAOO well said
Lol. Perfect response! 🤣🤣🤣
Lol
What's the price??
me me $1500
One of the most satisfying things back in the day was to hang up by closing your flip phone aggressively.
Might wait for version 2.
Yeah.... For the "agressive" way I would wait until it solds at 500$...Or, like you said, for the 2nd or the 3rd gen.
@@MouadJmari yeh.. Not handled it yet of course.. But. It's pricey and looks delicate.
If nobody buys it, even if it gets an IF award, you won’t get a version 2. It’s like the blackberry.
or throwing it like a chinese star at someone
For real that's the only reason I would buy this phone 😂
They truly resurrected the Razr into modern day! Amazing
I’m here for it, the original “craze” phone.
the time original razor launched, I didn't had the money for it, that still holds true today 😂😂
Likewise😂
Ayyy lmao
🤣🤣
I feel you 😂
Same, and Malaysian ringgit depletes like hell makes it stupidly hard for me FML🤣🤣
I’m an old school guy , I think this is perfect with a touch of modern
@J M you're an old guy if you've never spent more than $50 for a phone
I agree 👍
Ben ok boomer
Ok boomer
Hell yea I loved the old razor phones missed them glad their back with a vengeance
The iPhone 6 was a foldable smartphone way before the Razr.
You are funny
Lmao
How quickly they forget
Have you lost your mind...? Steve jobs would have made one exclusive for you... 😁😁
@@sukeshisrivastava5038 👍🤣
What a comeback for the Razor
Those things were so badass looking back in the day and this makes it even more sick
finally, a folding display that makes sense
Just imagine the level of attitude while answering and disconnecting the call by flipping
Aaahh, damn coool
We used to flip that bad boy down with a VENGEANCE lol.
I wonder how long the screen lasts.. the fold part.
I've owned 4 oldschool Razr phones. And i like how the have stay true to the Razr signature look. Im intersted !
But for $1500 for the phone it's way to much specially that it's not even on the same level as flagship phones like the S10 and 🍎 IMAX
@@juanvargas7730 It clearly says in the video that it is a ''design first phone''. Whereby they stay true to the original design. Arguments like ''not even on the same level as'' don't apply.
@@Rosk03 yes I understand that but the price is still the problem I'm also interested in the phone but not Many gonna spent that type of Cash for a flip phone now if it makes more sense to me that $400./$500. Price range makes more sense.
@@juanvargas7730 I agree with you also. Right now the crazy price is to cover the cost of RnD. Prices will hopefully good down with each year that passes.
finally I can hang up by close it hard enough when I'm angry.aaahh..such a satisfactory good old memories.
azharhassan_ I miss those days banging on someone 😂
Dman4901 ??? Banging on someone?
I'm not slamming the lid of a $1500 phone shut.
Billy Jean when you hang up on them by closing your phone 😂 with aggression
Andres Torres yea I forgot how much he said
Keeping the nostalgia part aside, the damn thing is too expensive.
It fits in your pocket...
But not in your budget :/
Well played sir haha

Is this the sounds you make when having an anxiety attack?
@@RokkitAk No it basically just means "hahaha" but for basic white people.
@@RokkitAk So Skskksksksk
It's nice that different approaches are being tried
This is the first foldable phone that actually makes sense and looks brilliant
J M stop acting like phones are for making phone calls anymore. Theyre literally portable computers, which are perfectly justifiable in their price.. also it’s a luxury device because this tech is so new. Imagine telling someone “dont buy a supercar, get a chevy impala..” its a different market that you really seem ignorant of
@J M Oh I'm sorry the new iPhone is about $1500 so for this phone since it's doing something actually new for a change it is worth it's price. Plus Androids always go down in price in about a year or so.
@@spearmintlatios9047 agreed brother.
@ANDROGAMER and like I said the price unlike other flagships will go down. This phone isn't meant to compete with those two brands. Instead they're trying something new to see if it'll work. The next one I'm sure will be flagship if this one gets okay reviews.
EDIT: Also look how much the first iPhone was, it was expensive for it's time because it did something new for a change as well.
J M chill out bro 😂
Hello Moto!
*checks price.... $1500*
Bye Moto!
I'm in the camp of waiting and seeing if newer revisions get more affordable and reliable.
22 000 in South African Rands!! I could go to Bali for a 7 day holiday with that kind of money!!!!!
Too expensive！
Classic
Lmao
My favorite cell phone of all time was my pink RAZR. I'm excited!
The way I see this is that it is the first in a design that will likely grow in popularity. At least I hope other people try and adopt it, to improve.
The folding is honestly a genius solution. Having the two sides flat is so much better than a hole in it.
Hole in 1
And they came with a shitty camera! Defeat the purpose of folding phone
image a pink colored version of this.
paris hilton: that's *_hot_*
The early, post-9/11 flip phones are doing it with the smartphones of today. Call them half-breeds!
Pink will use women's only not men's.
Are you men or women?
I'm from India 🙏
@Zeek Grey X1 C5
언제적 패리스 힐튼이야 ㅋㅋㅋ
A truly brilliant design
I can't wait for all of us to get one of this you guys it's like going back in time
Flip phones are going to make a comeback because of this!
@johnny Macon the price will drop just not out of the gate. The people with money will throw their money at it then 3 months later it will be at a reasonable price. Just think of it as it gets released in January to the rich and to everyone else in April.
@DK Bandit agree
I sure hope sooo
I hope so. And I hope it makes this one cheaper
I hope so.
This is a better design than pursuing a big, foldable display.
Agreed. that's one of the reasons why i'm interested
exactly. becoz that stupid trend of brick like big screens was getting out of hand literally too. i mean a phone isnt supposed to be that big. keep it smart and handy. and thts where motorolla comes with all that. its just perfect.
History repeats itself...
This one's really impressive...👏🏻
This comes off as more of a business phone than a media phone.
This phone is tempting. What a technical milestone
Form factor maybe. Definitely not specs.
Yeah Samsung did all the r&d
It's really not..
I feel like this is the first phone since the original iPhone that's been different and exciting without feeling like a gimmick it's so cool
Hope they make a 2nd gen and improve off it. Ive been waiting for the next razr since the old one. Best phone I ever had.
Hey, yours was the better how to reset this phone than all others on youtube. It was perfect and I managed to reset it. Thankyou.

Should tell him so you can check it out in person😆👍
Only with Verizon.

Right I know I am
@@773.Miguel I hope your teacher have 1499$ to buy it
back to the legend. flip phone and the comunicator
oh, i love that
Now give us a Nokia version that is indestructible.
And that has a battery life that lasts half a year.
And has snake already installed
And no color screen.
@@BoiledOctopus haha
And that durability
Love the design of this. I'll pick one up in 3-5 years when the technology is perfected and the priced is lowered.
I just picked one up this week for $275!
It’s evolving just backwards
I loved Razr back in the day and the only reason I stopped using them was because my last one died and they weren't available anymore.
I really hope this does well enough that it'll stick around to when foldable screens are less expensive and thus more affordable for those of us who aren't rich.
Retro classic is back with modern bang 👍
My pocket : size, yeah!
My pocket : price, oooh yeah.....
My wallet: GTFO! xD
My pocket : size wow!
My pocket : big hole wow.
Fixed!!!
Haha...
Love the design
I had the Razr phone in 2006...loved that phone. I might have to get this for nostalgia purposes in a sense
looks like a good idea: a normal size phone that folds small
Definitely an interesting experiment, however anything that flips, slides or moves in any way will eventually fail, that's just the nature of materials when force is applied to them. Just because something "can be done", doesn't mean it's practical, case in point.
@@BillAnt flip phones always lasted years
@@lellienicole Yeah, but this is a flip phone with a fragile screen and a hinge that is susceptible to dust and other particles
@@anthony15601 yeah the screen is the only thing I would be worried about. Especial because that small gap when you're opening the phone
Coming from someone who works at Apple, this is actual innovation and taking chances.
Cool
In Retrospect, Steve Jobs would’ve hated it.
@@HammyJamm Probably.
How so? This is the 2001 Razr with no bezel.
@@unfortunata8056 A bending touchscreen screen thats also a smart phone, I would say thats pretty innovative. Its something we haven't really seen before this year with Samsung, Huaweii and now Motorolla.
This is one of the most impressive electronics in years!
I like how it folds small and compact.
I really love Motorola. I have been with their products for long and they are still in a good condition.👍👍
Just waiting for the phone that turns into a car.
lol 😂😂
tesla
That's the Huawei Mate X. Easy, it can turn into one in the blink of an eye if you desired one in exchange for having the phone.
Ok boomer
I want one that turn into a flight
THIS IS FREAKING AWESOME
it looks so cool!
Cut the Price in half and you'll sell a million of them.
LV Collier maybe Samsung will do that
Give it a few generations and the price will come down. Don't forget it has bleeding edge technology in it.
No half but probably $600-
MEH....OLED displays are everywhere. All they did was design a hinge and partner it with a mediocre processor, mediocre camera, mediocre battery.... beware the hype train.
LV Collier i think the design of it has to doneith such high price plus the functions to it
flip phone was a thing some years ago damnnn this is nice
A really interesting, well produced, easy to grasp video.Thanks!
Read my comments on a video about the same phone ( by cnet) ; after about 3 minutes I switched off the sound --reminded me of Loral and Hardy. What a plonker!
Good design. Practical. Nothing too crazy. Easy to use and comes in a small package. Seeing some small design problems here and there but i would like to buy a version of this, even a thicker one with more juice under the hood maybe. I've had a Nokia flip phone back at 2007. It was cool but this one is simply badass.
I like it. Just not for 1500 with mid-range specs. I don't mind the gap either if it makes the folding better. These kind of developments will push tech and we will have more complete devcies in the future so I appreciate what Samsung, Motorola and other tech co's are doing.
feels like a design that I'll pick up at the 2nd or 3rd gen, when the flaws are mostly worked out and the price is more in line with the regular market
@@corgs_w Definitely
I loved the original razr and will most definitely be buying this new one eventually

This makes a lot more sense then the big foldables, i remember the good ole days when cellphones went from brick to small...to brick again...so this is a neat development.

That's how I imagined how foldable phones will be! Good job Moto
It just needs a button that makes the top half automatically flip open
Yes!
is he dressed like 90s rock for this video or is it just me imagining it
And now it's time for Rokr phone. What a nostalgic moment.
And they actually managed to solve the hinge crushing problem.
Funny the company that made the Motorola flip phones were futuristic for its time now the fold looks better than Samsung I hope apple follow suit and make the same hinge design or better probably because Samsung folded in half and this one is more a fold flip phone look how tight the Samsung closes compared to the flip design wouldn’t Samsung be better just to make a flip phone but with no notch that would be cool to see from apple
@@jonathanoxlade4252 well i'm agree about that.
Wow that is really the key here. The Samsung fold failed epically in their hinge. The hinge is the phone. And also having 10 years shattershield screen plastic screen protection means this is ready day one. Unlike the Sammy fold that comes with warning labels to not press hard, or it can not take any splatter zero water etc.. For a first gen foldable screen this is market ready. Sure they sell allot overseas but this is made for the main NA market right now.
Motorola is Lenovo
@@jonathanoxlade4252 apple won't do it
I want one just because I always thought that it would be cool to combine the flip phone and the smartphone into one phone
Great design, GEN2 will be time to consider it
"ah man that's cool. wow...they did a foldable well. I might actually get th.....$1500 nope!"
Robert Taylor Yeah it’s sad considering all the compromises
If you are looking for foldable, you aren’t looking for price. 1.5k is as cheap as it will get for a while.
why are you complaining about price on a 1st gen product? Its a 1st gen product, there is literally nothing like this in the market. If company doesnt charge for a unique product which no other company can offer then that company is a fool. Especially when that new product uses a new emerging technology which in itself is costly. A 1st gen product always cost a company a huge cost, a ton of R&D and time. You can complain about design or other stuff but in 1st gen tech it is essentially given that it will be costly. If you want to complain about pricing then aleast wait till 3rd gen of that product.
Yes
Hell yeah, I’ve been on iOS for almost a decade and come close to jumping ship to android a few times. At about half the price this would’ve done it for sure.
It's really awesome innovative concept that I've ever seen in my whole life
I’ll buy one but in a few years when the bring out a newer model with better design. I like it.
The hinge the hinge The HINGE on is on FIRE!
I would definitely buy this after it gets some updates and the price starts to get reasonable. Was longing for a nice compact phone for ages after Apple and Samsung started the size-up frenzy!
$1500 is crazy
Al mac $1500 is reasonable , if it were around $5000 for a phone then we have a right to complain

Yeah I noticed the original was equivalent to over $815.
Think about how much use people have with phones today compared to back then.
This probably will probably dawn a duality of flagship smartphone choice in literally just 1 year.
😂😂😂😂😂
Wyldwiisel you can’t compare that to today’s market since tons of other cheaper options that was when phones were just getting cool
1.5k is worth. No creases unlike fold.
Thanks for the review. Will get it Someday...
As the size of fablets keep growing this design makes perfect sense.
