    As someone who doesn’t change phones easily.. like i went from iphone 6 to X till now n finally decided to change (by force since iOS don’t update anymore), I find your video so helpful. Time to get out of iPhone zone into android zone.

    The issue you just described with text lag on the Razr - I've actually had that a number of times on my Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra - seems to be primarily when typing comments on youtube. This makes me wronder if that might be an app/android issue rather then an actual RAZR issue. I could be wrong though.

    • @phoneux
      @phoneux  Před 2 měsíci

      It depends on the type of use. They are fine for light use, or if you have a setup that keeps them topped off. I'm releasing a video about a full day experience with the Z Flip 5 on Friday with actual screen on time details.

    Good video but you totally missed the mark on covering Good Lock which is a Samsung app that totally changes the cover screen and gives you the same functionality that the Razr plus has.

    • @phoneux
      @phoneux  Před měsícem

      I agree that Good Lock unlocks that capability. I have other videos talking about Good Lock and the cover screen app drawer. But no improvements have been made to the default cover screen app drawer in the time the Flip 5 has been out. The Razr+ has the ability to add most or all apps out of the box.

    does the RAZR get you through a day?

    • @phoneux
      @phoneux  Před měsícem

      I haven't done a full day test to see how long it actually lasts. It really depends how much it's used. I suspect it would last a full day with light use (less than 4 hours), but I doubt it could last with heavy usage.
      I'll work on a video to test the Razr's battery.

    Ive just moved back to a flip 5 after a few months with the s24ultra. Once you get used to the physical size,regular phones just dont cut it. The camera on the flip 5 is very good. The 24ultra camera didnt impress me even with all the lenses. Looking forward to what the flip6 has in store.

    • @phoneux
      @phoneux  Před 8 dny +1

      Same here, looking forward to flip 6. Let's see if they follow what Motorola did with the Razr+, swapping the ultra wide with a telephoto lens. And the main sensor is reportedly going to be improved. It might be a good upgrade.

    • @glyno77
      @glyno77 Před 7 dny +1

      @@phoneux photo quality on 2x even 5x digi zoom is pretty good still so as long as the upgrade the sensor to 50mp I'd be happy. Would prefer an optical zoom over the ultra wide but bigger sensor more important to me. We shall see soon hopefully. Great video by the way.

    The weather icon is how you have it set up. Mine does not do that. The Razr is way better than the Samsung. I have no problems with the camera.

    • @phoneux
      @phoneux  Před 25 dny

      I'm not sure which setting would cause the weather icon to flicker. I started noticing that the number of times it flickers is related to how many notifications I have.

  • @djarthurlooby

    Yes never issues with any of my flips folds. Ppl that normally have issues with the phones are they ones to rough on them. With cracked screen and such. Motorola has the grease down much better.

  • @firewolf1838
    @firewolf1838 Před měsícem +1

    all I really have to say is for the Z Flip5 for the camera is that most of the reason it works well is AI and that is mainly it so it is okay for taking pictures that you don't want to edit but if you more of a person who wants to care about doing editing yourself the Razr might be the one you like

    • @phoneux
      @phoneux  Před měsícem

      I can't agree with you there. The z flip5 has a much larger sensor. If someone wants to edit the photo without all the AI editing, they can use pro mode and get the raw file.

    Surprised a phone can lag in 2024. I just bought the razr+ all issues you talked about fixed. Imma turn off auto update until I can confirm it doesn't bring bugs.
    I had my last phone for 4 years never lagged one bit never updated. As fast as the day I got it.
