I've also heard the new hinge allows for position in the screen at multiple angles without it flopping back down, a nice upgrade over the last model. I'm excited for the telephoto lens. An ultra wide lens is nice but I've heard that the regular camera it's a fair bit into the picture. Love that green! 😊
The model I had is a pre-production unit. It holds position quite well, but it does flop closed once it gets to about 30 degrees or so. The production model should have a slightly stiffer hinge I would think. This happened last year too when I had a pre-release version, where the hinge was quite floppy, and the final version was much better.
Are we going to look past the fact he didn't mention the hot pink color with its suede backing for the razr+/50 ultra? Honestly, that color is a vibe and harkens back to the Paris Hilton hot pink razr v3
The Razr 50 is a fantastic re-entry point for Motorola into the foldable market, offering a stylish design at a competitive price, powered by the efficient Dimensity 7300X chip.
For budget-conscious foldable fans, the Razr 50 with its Dimensity 7300X processor is a dream come true. It delivers excellent everyday performance without the hefty price tag.
You can put a case on it, and it should do a pretty good job of protecting the phone. There’s already a screen protector on the inner screen that you shouldn’t put another protector over. The outer screen might be able to have a screen protector on it though.
Owning the 2020,2022 and ultra 40 razr i will skip this 50 ultra due to lacklustre os updates,on the Motorola community forums not one agent can give us any idea when the 40ultra will be getting our android 14 updates,as for security updates i have been getting the bimonthly security updates,im in Australia,as the agents have stated on the forum security updates are done per phone,not the whole region, in America others have the latedt security patches others are still on May 2023,this is the same for all regions, as for me this will be my last razr untill Motorola/Lenova release updates in a timely manner...I hope this helps a few ppl decide.
@@gadgetguytech much appreciated on the community forums they have been giving the same scripted answers for the 3 razrs I have owned,don't get me wrong I really like the razrs but I would like the os updated quicker....
I just got the new Moto G Power 5g 2024 and it has the same Synthetic Leather material on the back and I was worried that I wouldnt like it as i never had a phone with that style of back but I love it. Mine is in Midnight Blue which looks basically like Black unless you shine direct light on it then you can see its the darkest shade of blue possible. I love the look and feel of the material and its really grippy i could see using it with no case and just a glass protector on fhe screen but i tend to drop things while being out and about when out of the house so i got a clear case for it. One thing im glad its a darker color because even with clean hands i could see the material getting dirty over time from being handled alot and lighter colors like the lilac or caramel latte would be harder to get dirt off of as it would kinda be like a liquid silicone case when it comes to getting dirty from being handled alot and the lighter colors would "stain" after awhile i think. I love the Blue i like the red color they have with the phones this year and i would love a Teal color or a deep eggplant purple would be beautiful
I actually like it too for the grippyness. I can’t say it really feels like leather though. Generally, phones seem to slip out of my hands if not in a case. The vegan leather also resists scratches. You might actually be able to get away with using the razr without a case as it has harder gorilla glass victus on its screens too.
There is no such thing as "vegan leather", as leather is by definition animal hide. It's a misleading marketing term. Better alternatives would be "synthetic leather" or "imitation leather".
1:33 pfff.. there is no animation for this ai just a png and a chatbox this is cold...totally boring to talk with this emotionless chatbox thing, i will stay with my rabbit r1, this devs put so much more love in all the ai animations, even the ears are moving up from the hopping rabbit when talking to the lil herlper but this gemini thing here is totally boring, hopefully they manage to get a cute mascot animated ai assistant in the future, atleast it is a assitant so it needs a character or atleast a face,some sort of animation a lil bit more love should be there for so much money but all in one the flip phone seems like fun and i love the color choices.
rabbit's r1 is certainly an interesting product, and Moto's AI is not really ready yet, so I expect that the interface will be more pervasive once it's actually live. For now, it's just Google's Gemini to interact with. Good to hear your perspective about the r1. Nice to have a more personalized experience. Still, I wonder what the future is for devices like the r1 once phones have fully capable AI features. Will a dedicated AI device even be needed if phones can do the same things? Thanks for your comment!
@@gadgetguytech the r1 has no ADs or paytraps and the rabbit r1 is instantly there without, unlocking the screen….seek the app…..avoid all notifications….avoid alll ads… start the app… close all ad windows from annoying sales….. and finished finally there Vs rabbit r1 just press the button and the rabbit is instantly ready to assist you.
It's a bit of a marketing term. The way I see it is that if you like it, you can probably use it without a case, but if not, you can always put a case over it and forget it's there...

that green is hella beautiful
Not bad at all, I like it!

I must have missed the pink! I don't think it was offered where I live in Australia, so you must be luckier than me!
@@gadgetguytech it is exclusive on T-Mobile here in the states and unlocked on Moto's site
Dimensity 7300X in the Razr 50? Sign me up for that foldable power! I think this can be a great rumored device!

That chip is worse than my calculators chip from 1999. Buy that trash in 2024

Like a calculator
Can you put a screen protector and case on this without messing with the closing mechanism?
You can put a case on it, and it should do a pretty good job of protecting the phone. There’s already a screen protector on the inner screen that you shouldn’t put another protector over. The outer screen might be able to have a screen protector on it though.

Great comment, thanks for letting me know. I will pass this on to Motorola and see what I can find out.

It was a quick one but thank you! We will publish a full review on GadgetGuy after a few more days with it.

Thanks so much for your comments - good point, probably safest to go with a darker colour to avoid it staining over time! Thanks for watching :-)
It's so disappointing that they took away the Ultra Wide camera from this phone which is an absolute bummer honestly 😔
Moto said that more people wanted telephoto but it's a same they couldn't squeeze in both lenses.
Telephoto is why I ordered it.
wow
it doesn't come with any charge at all..... wrong info
The Australian box does come with a 68W charger inside. Not sure which region you’re in, but it might be different there.
Wide angle lens make ppl look funny. A Telephoto zoom just works better
That's what moto thinks - they did some market research and found that more people preferred a telephoto versus a wide angle...
I love Vegan Leather!!! 💚💚💚🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

anything's better than my flip 5. that thing can slide across cement it's so slippery
@@wmurch3 I know right! I have one too and it's very slippery. Needs a case...

Yes, that's true, it's a funny term and really just marketing speak. 😄
Lether can also be made from fruits and plants
No, the term is correct since it's made of real vegan skin. 🤣
@@mahaloppa9616 Oh that's a good choice then
Nah it called vegam because it's fake. Just like all the vegan's meaning of life
Salut
Salut!

You lost me at 'vegan leather'...
Better than glass which cracks after a fall

Freaking flip 3 is better than this. Stop it
What makes you say that?
