[MOTOROLA RAZR+ / RAZR 2024 REVIEW]
Twenty years ago (with the help of some “hot” star power) Motorola reshaped humdrum mobile phones into design icons with the first RAZR. It’s spent the past five of those years reformulating that reinvention into the Razr 2024: a playful pocketable, clad in all the colors of the rainbow the bigger manufacturers keep (frustratingly) shying further away from. It's no exaggeration to call the new Razr two phones in one: a high-end Android flagship and a tiny minimalist phone, blended into a single foldable that reminds us that, oh right: technology can be (should be) fun!
In short: the 2024 Razr and Razr Plus are the antidote to every other phone.
[ABOUT MRMOBILE'S RAZR 2024 AND RAZR PLUS 2024 REVIEW]

That rotating moto logo falls beautifully into that "dumb, but great" category that not enough software design hits anymore
Agreed. It also solves for an old gripe of mine: I hated how the Motorola logo would be upside-down any time I opened one of their flip phones. It only took 25 years to fix 😄
I like to call such flourishes "that perfect level of unnecessary detail."
Moto is the king of ‘dumb, but great’. I remember when they released gestures to their phones before anyone did - and that ‘chop’ motion was coming and goofy to get the camera up, but it was brilliant (and looked dumb)
That's what won me over. If they stay silly, my next phone will be the 2025 Razr
reminds me of Rolls-Royce wheel caps
Modern day flippables are really the only sort of small phone we have left.
Yep! I used a whole video to make this point a few years back.
Japanese keitai phones though !!
Don't forget Unihertz!
Samsung and Google's folds, ironically enough, are both arguably small phones.
Yeah, the "point" of a fold is the large screen, and fair enough, that's what I use like 70% of the time. But the 6.2 inch diagonal size of my Z Fold is misleading, it's super narrow and excellent for one-handed use - the only phone I've ever comfortably been able to do swipe typing on, and it rests comfortably in my hand. The Pixel Fold's cover display, on the other hand, is basically like the iPhone Mini.
Not a fan of the trend that folds are getting bigger in general, and I hope Samsung doesn't follow suit.
There is unihertz jelly max
Yet to come though
Foldables are literally the moden day equivilent of "when phones where fun" and I'm all for it!
Until it break

If Moto AI ends up being as poor as their software updates we're in for a treat 😂
Hardware does look awesome for the price tho, great video 👌
Hey I didn’t expect you here, Arun! Greetings!
Much obliged, man!
Surprised to see you here, Arun!
Surprised to see you here Arun. I unsubscribed from your channel when you started documenting your marriage on your tech channel. The cringe was unbearable during those wedding scenes, and left me with a lasting trauma. Seeing you here brings back those memories. So stay away please!
@@vaastafraja5685 I love this😭
If Motorola put any actual effort into updating their software in a timely manner and improving their camera quality, they'd be a huge contender in the smartphone space.
I have a Moto think phone and they have been good about updating it.
It's better now that it's three years instead of two but other than that, typical Moto fashion is to be quick on updates the first year, and then go to almost snail pace when the new version is out. Also when the support ends they are basically worthless. Even the kiosks I tried didn't want it.
Yeah, I was really disappointed when my Z3 Play never got the promised Android 10 update. Started with 8, ended with 9 for their most expensive phone in my country at the time. It was disappointing.
The camera should profit from a software update.
Personally i use the zoom much more than the wide angle lens.
Ao totally fine for me when the quality of the picture is good
@@ryokaix I've had my think phone since released and I'm still getting monthly updates. Perhaps it's because it was promoted as a business phone, but I've been very pleased. And it's been a great phone.
Don't credit Motorola with the Pink Razr. The idea was that Razr was the "male" phone. Pebl was the "female" one, so the idea of a pink Razr went against the grain, but Charles Dunstone of Carphone Warehouse ordered 250,000 Razrs in pink. I was at Motorola, we thought he was mad, and when he asked for an exclusive on pink we gave it to him. Bear in mind that the forecast for global Razr sales was 800,000 units - well that's what the team told the portfolio committee. I later learned that they thought it would sell 300,000. Carphone went on to sell 3 million pink Razrs ane we bought the rights to pink back from Carphone.
Oh you OG 🙌
What a cool slice of history, thank you for sharing!
4:14 Wow I really didn't expect a Winamp reference in this Motorola smartphone video. Man, good memories ❤
Yeah... blast from the past!
Same here
It really whips the....
you are the only one still talking about call quality on the reviews.....thanks for that Mr.Mobile!!!
You are the best mobile phone reviewer on the internet. Your voice is mesmerising. You just have that perfect speaking voice with all the information anyone could want. No background loud music. Just a fluent video. Keep up the good work. Greetings from a dreary, cloudy, rainy UK.
Fisher’s folding phones again, everybody grab your snacks
Yes!
🍿
If anybody cares as we're watching this video, my razor 2023, which is an unlocked version is getting the android 14 update right now sadly my plus version that is on T-Mobile hasn't got it yet :P
Yeah, Motorola told us at the Razr '24 briefing that the Android 14 update was "imminent" but wouldn't commit to an exact date - and as I say in the video, they're too slow to release those updates anyway, as Samsung (and even Oppo!) are months faster.
I like to call those "the perfect unnecessary details."
That is quite sad. I know that new Android versions have lesser value than they had a few years ago but this level a support is unacceptable when Samsung gave Android 14 in December (I have a Fold 5, it was early December I think) and it consistently delivers monthly security updates. For a longer support period. At this price range these things matter, even if Samsung is sleeping on HW development (though both the Fold and Flip 5 are super sturdy at least).
Only took them an entire year
@@Ignacio.Romero I agree, especially when I powered up my Motorola G stylus 2023 5G version and I forgot that it already got the android 14 update, I think they probably took a little longer because they are updating motor is UI....... But it's sad and we're still waiting for the razor +14 update but I am assuming it's in the works maybe other people from different parts of the US have already got android 14 for the razor 23+?
We're getting closer to that perfect sweet spot of a perfect budget foldable that lasts and has an actually decent durability record...guess we'll have to see how these hold up!
First time I am feeling like buying a flip phone especially that green color 🥰
This is a good offering from Motorola.
I love the orange and blue ones
I just got the plus2023 and I love it.
1:33 That wallpaper really doesn't look right with the two cameras
Oof
Just noticed that haha!
benis
I didn't notice that until I read your comment. 🤣
😂😂😂
Bro your voice and narrative are amazingly dazzling like a movie or video game narrators, maybe you can do podcast videos with other tech youtubers talk about every tech on the planet, i definitely will watch it
He reminds me of the Rome Total War narrator. In the good and great way.
While I would never buy a flip, I'm starting to get it.
I've had a fold for nearly a year now, and I initially bought it because I wanted to fit as big of a screen in my pocket as possible - but I've come to love the narrow cover display as well. It's far easier to type with one hand than it ever was on a traditional phone. Right now I'm watering plants work one hand and typing a comment with the other, and that's something I never could have comfortably done on a slab.
Having a display that's about ~2/3 the size of a typical modern phone, and also a display that's about 60% larger, it's a much better two in one combo than just "big screen, now give me $1800". While an even smaller screen than that doesn't interest me personally, I can understand the appeal now.
Flips without a ~3 inch cover display still don't make any sense to me.
I just hope someone makes a CONTROLLER for it but not horizontal as usual, instead vertical.
So when closed you can play 4:3 old consoles on the outer screen.
flip it open and now can also emulate consoles like Nintendo DS.
That would be amazing :D
such a good idea! Motorola should hire you, id be throwing my money at them if emulation was a design feature instead of an after-market thing
I love how my Flip 4 fits in my pocket folded - all these giant phones feel like giant bricks. Maybe I will upgrade to a Razr once mine conks out.
My favorite tech reviewer! Your videos are always so beautifully scripted and well-produced. I love the vibe of "chill and informative, but not boring". A lot of other tech videos have overstimulating effects, so I particularly appreciate you. Cheers!
I have to say Michael, I appreciate your production value. It's so nice to hear commentary without the music being so loud it over powers things. And the video editing is on point. Thank you.
Wow, a Winamp reference @ 4:17 ?
Man, I feel old now. 😂
Considering he said winamp... yes
@@pantloaded well that’s what I get for not paying enough attention.
I owned a Z Flip 3 and Z Flip 4, and I enjoyed my time with them immensely. However a single drop onto carpet broke the Z Flip 4 hinge and I moved to a Pixel 8 due to availability and very aggressive pricing. And honestly, I have not looked back at the world of foldables. As fun as the folding experience was, there's no denying it was compromised and returning to a stress free phone that I can just chuck around has been liberating. Looking back at a phone with a crease is now an eyesore, even though it never bothered me while I was using it. The jump in outdoor screen brightness and camera quality was also very noticeable.
Yeah, they're certainly not for everyone. That said, I'm the opposite: I moved to foldables full-time starting in 2020 and haven't looked back. Every time I pick up a slab phone I'm immediately unfulfilled by either the limited screen real estate (compared to large-format foldables) or the pocket penalty (compared to flips). And while I agree about the fragility in general ... I toss around all my foldables without a case, and the majority of them have held up just fine.
Ultimately, just glad there are options on the market for each of us! Choice is good.
Do you think the flip 6 will best the razr again this year?
10:40 "I still hate this decision" _zooms into cat_
... which shows that the 2x telephoto does zero to improve the quality of shots like that.
@@TheMrMobileagreed. If you're going to use up a camera for telephoto, at least put something 4x or greater in there so it's USEFUL!
@@TheMrMobile imo the best part of a .5 lens is the absolutely goofy pictures i can take of my cats and friends. The fish-eye effect is so funny and i use that 10x more than i would be zooming into far-away shots
As a Razr 40 Ultra owner, I love the new 2x telephoto...the ultrawide in my phone is just so much worse than the normal wide angle lense, and the difference in scope is much smaller than it was with my previous Galaxy Z Flip3. The ultrawide is almost useless IMO. I agree 2x is not that much, but I use 2x zoom a lot, so for me it would be a great improvement. Maybe with the next generation they could do 5x, at least that would be my hope.
I fully agree. I use the zoom so much more often than the wide angle.
People complaining dont make much photos in my opinion. I hate the bad sensors on the wide angle most phones have.
When you need a bigger shot - go into panorama mode. Boooom problem solved 😂
I also think it's a "have kids" or "don't have kids" difference. Without my telephoto on my Pixel, I'd miss a lot of great memories.
Currently using a galaxy S10+, clinging on to my 3.5mm and SD card.
As a once moto x 2014 user, this razr feels like one of the few options that would be an upgrade beyond a spec sheet.
Great video!
how good is your wired audio there, sir ? I prefer the 3.5 audio jack too TBH
If the analog jack is important, you can get very good usb DACs nowadays. I own a moondrop dawn pro which works and sounds great for about 50 bucks. I have a usb c flash drive to offload big photo files onto which saves me a good deal of space.
Not surprised to hear your issues w/ the repair! I recently got my fold 5 repaired (somehow separated the inner screen led and protector), and looking around told me Samsung has the same issue of not sending any details to them. After I made the appointment I just called the place and thankfully they had parts, but it sounds like it's an issue across multiple brands
There's a potent irony in seeing so much lavish design going into the music player UI on these when I just bought a DAP to load all my music onto.
Still, I was originally gonna get a Razr Plus 2023 on discount/refurb, but the "Minus" has far less compromises than I expected, so I might go for that instead. My only gripe is that I wish there was just one more colorway for the Minus, be it either the Magenta or Glacier from the Plus 2023 or something else. The one I'm considering the most is the koala grey for the texturing. All the different material types makes me wish they would go back and do bamboo backing again like the Moto X Gen 2
10:40 dude your cat is straight up planning a dark and sinister plot
Interesting hearing your comments on the durability of Razr 40 Ultra! Ordered mine thru EE in UK Nov23, By march 24 the screen protector was lifting just above the hinged area. EE sent it away to be repaired and eventually (due to no screens available) arrived back and the screen no longer had the notch! Now I am aware of tiny lines across the hinged area in the screen protector. Which begs the question how durable are foldable phones in general! I do love the compactness of it folded & produced some lovely photos on a recent trip to New York! Enjoy your thorough reviews so thanks from the UK👍
Canada here, had to send mine away for a lifting screen protector in May and it arrived back without the notch! And now is going back again for the same issue 😭 Spending a lot more time with my backup Pixel 5 than I'd hoped 😅
This is between Review and Narration and I coudl seriously feel the narrator Fondling the devices as he goes on with work
A Review for this riview - Good writing , no unwanted cringe jokes , Keeping things simple and to the point while still explaining everything.
Michael fisher , ladies and gentlemen.. 👏👏👏👏
I still lament the loss of the RAZR's truly unique design after the RAZR 2020.
I want it in orange, but with the bigger screen. Ohhh well...
Was that qi 2 on the wireless charging shot or just friction?
It sticks magnetically to that charger - but I think it's incidental attraction from the magnets that hold the flip closed. There's no official Qi2 certification for Razr.
It really whips the llama!! Quite nostalgic 😅
Good old times 🧙♂
Dude you just won the internet with the "it really whips the llama." I love it. You gave me the feels.
I would be all in on foldables if there were a model with expandable storage.
When I'm getting ready to skip forward, almost no youtube personality can stop me with a simple phrase. However, when Mr Mobile says, 'Stay with me,' I without hesitation move my right hand back to its original position.
I've loved my 2023 razr + (favorite phone ever) but I too got the interior screen crack after about 7 months. Moto fixed it for me with little hassle (other than initially arguing with call center people to get it fixed), but it was annoying. The new screen protector was the same as the new model btw - not having the stupid annoying cutout for the camera which just gathered grime and caught on things. Here's hoping the new hinge does indeed fix it.
If so, the Razr+ 2024 with the bigger exterior screen will probably be the perfect phone. There's *just* enough times where I wish I had a bit more screen space when using the exterior one on my 23 version. The loss of ultra wide is kinda significant tho as I'm constantly having to back up with this camera as is.
I absolutely love Moto's lock screen and I wish I could use that on my Samsung as that is the only thing I feel I am missing out on.
Winamp...SO MANY YEARS since I thought of it, that used to be such a big part of my computing life back in the day. Here's to go the good Ole' days of Demonoid, Limewire, and Napster
Good times indeed 👍
i like how alligned the sad cat shot with the dialog , really enjoyed watching this one
I kinda wish Motorola would launch their phones with more storage or at least an sd card slot. Even 256gb of storage would start feeling a bit cramped for me...
Nice addition of showing the older phones and the original Razr in the video. Great stuff. At 7:28 no other channel that I've seen on these phones has mentioned this. Thank you. I'm looking forward to trying out the 2024 Razr+ due to the updates they've made.
Do these have Pixel Call Screening? I understand that some Motorola phones do but can't find a definitive list.
Additionally do they have video out via USB-C?
Pixel Call Screening is one of the main reasons I'm still keeping my Pixel 7 Pro. I've been thinking about trying a foldable for the easier pocketability, but I absolutely love this feature and am not sure I could do without it at this point. If the Razr shipped with this feature I'd be all over it.
@@saviordream I switched from Pixel to a OnePlus. I love the phone but the only thing I miss is Call Screening. It's so frustrating that there isn't an easy to find list. When you do a web search half the results are "ONLY PIXEL PHONES HAVE IT THAT'S WHY IT'S PIXEL CALL SCREEN!" which is wrong or "EVERY PHONE HAS IT IT'S JUST THE GOOGLE PHONE APP!" which is wrong.
It's been a long, LONG time since I have been THIS interested in a smartphone! This one hits the sweet spot in terms of evoking a genuine curiosity and awe, reminds me of my college days when new/whacky tech would excite me for days on end :)
Will I be buying this one? I don't think so, not this iteration at least. The reason would be exactly what you had brought up in your vid as well- reliability. There's still some way to go in this regard for Motorola or any other flip phone manufacturer for that matter.
Lovely vid as always, Mr. Mobile ! 💗 from India !
Does it have the ability to magnetically stick to wireless charger (at 14:21)? If so I had no idea that the Motorolas could do that.
Can I just say I appreciate you actually using a good aspect ratio I. Your videos for how phones screens are these days! 16 x 9 just doesn’t cut it anymore
"It really kicks the llama's ass" is the hit of nostalgia I needed today
Glad you still mention phone calls performance
I've been waiting for this review, because nobody does them quite like Micheal Fisher. Thanks man!
Honestly I appreciate the 2x telephoto over an ultrawide. I currently have a Pixel 7Pro, and I find myself very often wanting to punch into 2x to better frame shots indoors or in close proximity, or zooming in to catch something small or in the distance I can't approach, but the ultrawide is such a drop off in quality compared to the other cameras, and the added distortion means that I would almost always rather take a few steps back to use the wide angle.
I do find myself really missing my iphone Xs old 2x camera, I think we think too much in zoom, and not enough in terms of focal length, and the 2-3x lenses typically produce much more pleasing portraits than cropping the main camera, regardless of any post effect blur being applied.
Love your videos. How much might the cameras be helped by updates? I'm debating on getting this year's model or waiting for the next 🤔
This feels like the first small android phone that I would use after I made the switch to iphone 13 mini. That front cover screen is better done than any other flip phones imo, I would prolly use the phone only via the front cover.
Thank you for the "Winamp" reference. took me back to so many memories 🥰
7:24 does the hinge work better than the previous ones I hope? the screen crease decay on the z flip style phones is really bad
the razr 5g 2020 still seems like the best implementation mine still hasn’t got a crease nearing 4 years
I like such kind of phones. My current phone is LG Wing and next one is definitely going to Razr.
Nowerday’s there are barely any changes between updates. Why are the lack of updates a deterrent?
In this very specific case the razr+ has been missing an aod on the outer screen which is a really dumb oversight. But yeah, apart from that I don't get it either
14:22 does the Phone have Qi2? I can't find anything about that online. But he just put it on a magsafe powerbank and it stuck
No Qi2 certification, but it does stick to that charger pretty well. If I had to guess, it's probably incidental attraction from the magnets that hold the flip closed.
@@TheMrMobile thanks for the Info! I really hope, that android Phones start using Qi2 soon, than i dont have to put those ugly magsafe stickers on the back of my phone anymore.
@@gamblex1806 You and me both!
Can't decide which color to buy for razr plus 2024?..is the hot pink same as viva magenta as last year?
I loved my Razr 2022 (before the screen shattered and it shorted out). I'm 100% going to get one of those 2024 Razr+ when I have the spare cash
In 14:21 you put it on a magnetic charger, does the razr has a magnetic wireless charging or was it some sort of case or tag?
Motorola was the Highlight of my Teen Years having a Flip back in the Day was the cool thing before iPhones killed that love… But my Love of Motorola never died currently rocking the Edge 2024. Will I ever return to Moto Flip?… Never say Never I probably will just for old times sake! 😊 Great coverage and how have I never heard of you before. Subscribed!
The problem with these new smartphone (all brands included) are the fixed storage and no new storage option.😠
What happen when you move from the Razr 2022 to this one ? If it's almost full, you just don't want to start over.
A Micro SD slot will solve the problem 💯.
It should be legally mandatory now, to have one on every new smartphone💯.
I've already been considering these for one of my next phones. I've been using flagships from Google, Samsung, OnePlus, and back to the very much missed LG and HTC. Ahhh, the HTC One M8 still brings a smile to my face. I've just started "taking an inventory" of features I actually use and like the idea of a foldable that doesn't cost me a kidney to own. The Motorola Razrs seem to check all of my boxes.
how good was your HTC One M8 sir ?
@@sipenarekbecha7193, probably the best phone I've ever owned. Obviously the specs wouldn't meet today's standard, it's over a decade old now, but for the time, it was ahead of everything else. The phone was made with aircraft aluminum. Not only was it a great looking phone, but it was indestructible, even with a slim case.
@@mikeoleksa I think the speaker was great too (at least for its time then), how about the UI ? As far as I remembered, it has a unique theme/homescreen right ?
Winamp mention at 04:10, ICONIC
4:08 Winamp Winamp, it really whips the lama's... Loved it
Would an unlocked version work for WiFi calling? Frustratingly my zenfone 8 can’t access that feature on T-Mobile and I have no coverage at the cabin but do have WiFi.
It should indeed. Every unlocked phone I have had, allows for that.
Have been eagerly awaiting your review since I saw your post on threads the other day. Another very informative and fun review! I really like the design and colors of these phones, and the software seems to offer a fun experience too. The only thing that's still a bit worrying is the update support and repair experience, especially outside the US. I wish manufacturers would take this point more serious…
It’s crazy other territories not only get 512 GB of storage but also a fast charger included in the box
We (in the other territories) also end up paying around $1250 for exactly the same phone, with 0 trade in options and worse warranties. You'll be fine.
My 2023 Razr updated to android 14 the night before this video was posted.
It’s annoys me that Moto got rid of the chin. It’s so iconic and set it apart from other foldables currently available
You can't be serious.
Definitely need the old man rant vid
lol
You would make a great pitchman with that voice and smooth delivery. Bravo
So excited for mine! Just ordered the spring green this morning along with my Galaxy watch 7 Ultra and Buds 3 Pro! It's gonna be a good end of the month!
I really like the little customization options like the playback animations, thats so cool. I think we need more fun design stuff like winamp
What are your thoughts on the power button placement? I'm on the 2023 Razr+ and I've never had more "pocket dials" and other apps opening that I don't want. I came over from Pixel 5a so naturally, I've been unsurprisingly unimpressed with my Razr+'s camera and other hardware. BUT, that said, more than I care to count: my phone has fallen from my bike's top-tube bag on singletrack and even on paved rail-trails (my fault for not securing the bag) and the phone survived mostly unscathed. I don't have a case for it (didn't like any of the ones I tried) and the only scratch is on the outside screen and I can't recall how that happened. Now, on rides when I need a fast camera with excellent pictures, I bring my 5a along for the ride...which is why I got the RAZR+: for the smaller footprint...now, I'm bringing two phones.
Hell yes. Thank you mr mobile.
Ive been eyeing this phone to replace my s23 ultra after realizing my healthy lifestyle has made me less attached to the latest and greatest so to speak.
Like i dont need to be on my phone 24/7 to breathe anymore like i did 4 years ago before i started lifting😊.
I got my eye on this.
The s22 cat flip
And the nokia 21 something rugged phone
Was that qi 2 on the wireless charging shot or just friction
The screen rotation for the cover screen is one of the most important updates, some apps really can’t run or not optimised for landscape orientation.
Can you connect either of these phones to an external display/monitor using usb c?
I like the zoom as most photos you don't need lots of wide angles
I have a 24 ultra but these moto razrs have been on my radar for awhile and I am digging the changes this year.
The Razr+ could be the perfect flip phone if it had an ultrawide instead of that weak 2x telephoto camera. Still, I would buy that if it was available in my part of the world.
I'm also waiting your CMF Phone 1 review, the replaceable back cover and the ecosystem of accesories are interesting and fun. I think you would like them as an old Moto Mod fanatic.
I've never been more interested in a year-on-year upgrade than I am now. I love my 2023 Razr-, but having a bigger cover display would be incredible and the upgraded hinge would be great
Worth noting, just got my Android 14 update yesterday
I got my android 14 update NINE months ago on my Samsung Galaxy phone.
@@davidbrown6878I never need an upgrade for my electronics. I had a Gateway computer that stopped working so I donated it to an electronics recycler; I haven't replaced it. And I don't even know how all the stuff works on my current (first) smart phone. You people are really caught up in your electronics. More power to yuh.
You are my Go-To Channel for the Folding Phones, after giving up my Z-Flip 3 for a Pixel 7 Pro, I'm ready to go back into the land of the foldable, but the question is gonna be: DO I go with the Razr+ or the Z Flip 6...Still need to get my hands on both to discover how the screen works iwth what I need to do with it most of the time. Basically need to know which one I can use my DoorDash Driver App on most easily
Great to see a new video been longing for a new one, has your back pack changed for your daily carry?
My Pixel 6a just got a cracked screen and, this video has convinced me to upgrade to the base Razr 2024... It gets here tomorrow 😁
If u have to choose one which one? Going for minus the smarter choice? Or the ultra?
Man, I gotta tell ya I wish I was into the foldable space because this video just exuded fun and excitement. I've also been a longtime Moto fan, even through their missteps. I loved my Moto X, and of course the original Razr was the defining phone at release. It's great to see they still seem to have fun with their devices as opposed to coasting on a known name.
1:01 Does anyone know what the track playing here is called?
The OG Razr was such a fantastic phone. Sound quality was great and it was built like a tank.
Does this Razr have the new Qi2 wireless charging with magsafe? Looked like it from a clip in this. Didnt see it mentioned in reviews.
Great to see these are getting better and better. I’m still using a Mate 20 Pro as my Android phone because it runs fine, but I’m stuck on Android 10 lol
I was already planning on getting the base model (specifically because of one color). However knowing it's also the one with the wide angle camera helps even more.
Wish the orange colour was available on the Plus/Ultra.
Personally, I've NEVER not wanted a telephoto lens on a phone w/ wide & ultra-wide. I've ALWAYS needed a telephoto for that slight improvement in clarity for photos I take beyond 2x zoom (which is the majority of them)
Loved the "WinAmp" reference.
hello Sir, another great review, what ram is available on these devices? i am a keen mountain biker and i typically download mapping apps and their maps to my phone, so ram is very important to stop annoying lag, also, how did you find the GPS chip? was it any good for accuracy outside of mobile coverage? love the channel and much love from the UK
No issues with GPS on either of my devices. As for RAM: check out the specs at 15:13. If you're concerned about speed in that respect, I'd recommend the Plus.
@@TheMrMobile thank you Sir, don't know how i missed the specs ( Doh!) i had the original star tac back in the day and I'm with you how phones are now mainly boring, just higher specs and storage every year, no real innovation on design or ease of use.
it has to be said the new Motorola RAZR phones should be more interesting to outsdoor people, a small form factor and weather resistance are great enticements, shame Motorola aren't promoting the phones to that market, it could turn out very profitable for them.
thanks for messaging back and thanks for the great content 👍
I could not have a flagship phone without an ultrawide and a telephoto lens. I simply use them both too often. It is one reason I held off on foldable phones, too.
