RAZR+ Impressions: Is This What You Wanted?

Motorola's folding phone feels like the beginning of a second generation in 1 (huge) way

Motorola literally took "We never knew we needed this, but deserved it" to the next level

This is the first phone in so long that's actually intrigued me. The form factor being so small in its folded state AND being able to use it, and the camera use... just so good . . .

Our company just had an Automation Engineer purchase one of these. He has been holding on to a very old Sony because he doesn't like big phones. He purchased this phone specifically so he could do most of his daily activities on the outside screen. So far he has really enjoyed the device. In IT we like it, because it brings his Android OS up to a modern version so his authenticator works on his phone now.

Next: people realize that 3.6" phone is actually all they need and the downsizing can start. Back to original size iphone.

Even if it's not what people wanted, you have to give them credit for surprising us at least.

I’ve personally never been into foldables but with the functionality and size of that outside display I find it very impressive. I see how Motorola are trying to innovate in this field and I feel they’re onto something with this model.

I repeatedly exclaimed, "That's so cool!" out loud while watching this video, these are exactly the kind of things that I personally am looking for in a modern foldable phone. I'm really excited by this and I hope they can continue to lead the charge in pushing the envelope on what these folding phones can do. I feel like other foldables so far have kind of been playing it very safe, while also massively inflating their prices. The fact that this one can do all of this for a thousand bucks seems very reasonable to me compared to other foldables on the market. And the fact that they are also releasing a less fancy and cheaper foldable is also really cool because it provides an entry point for more people to get into foldables and also hopefully will challenge some of the other players in the foldable game to think about what they're charging for their foldables. Kind of like what Google have been doing with their A-series Pixel phones. So yeah, I'm all for this.

That big front screen solves my biggest gripe for a flip phone. Having the ability to do almost anything without having to open the phone is incredible. I am now seriously considering this as my next phone. Now to wait for what Samsung will be showing off!

[GaryQuiring]

This is the first folding phone that I could actually see myself buying. I love the idea that the outside screen is usable with most apps. If Pixel would make one like this it would sell me.

I think the great thing about this system is you can control exactly how much you can do on the outer screen. So if you want a more limited experience, you can have that, but for people who can't handle that, you can turn anything on too. Choice and control is good.

The most impressive feature you didn't mention was the "Ready For" application. I think this makes it stand out from all smart phones as to can seamlessly turn your phone to a mobile computer and more.

[StevenEpicFail]

Honestly the outside screen functionality is what ended up selling me on this phone. The ability to shortcut and respond to messages and stuff without opening the phone will save battery life for sure.

[Riyuzaki]

Motorola has surprisingly good UI so it's interesting to know what they'll do with this secondary display.

[petarbazhdarov]

Actually these are the first folding phones that I'm really considering buying. Mostly because of the price, but the big screen is really a thing that I see myself using a lot. I'm glad that phone companies didn't stop investing in that tech, because in my opinion it's really something that has a future.

[jmor-_-.]

The outside screen is perfect for me. Im happy with the current standard phone size but folding in half is awesome. Smaller and more pocketable. I don't think most people would get sucked in to scrolling on the outer screen.

I've switched from flip 4 to Razr Plus almost a month ago and the difference is huge! Razr has so many extra features and I'm in love with outside screen, I barley open my phone, it works perfect and battery lasts me twice as long as flip 4 lol
I'm also surprised with the camera quality tho, especially for video recording!
And besides all this it's super stilish, people around me loves it 😁

[XenonArcher]

honestly this is nice to see. motorolla hasnt really been all that popular for a long time. i hope these two phones do well tbh.

[Xpsurfer]

Seeing yourself with the main camera is a huge plus. I do "no look selfies" all the time because the camera is SO much better. This helps me take the perfect shot, and has a kick stand built in. Amazing feature I didn't know I needed.

[restre]

Oh wow, definitely the first foldable I've seen that I'd actaully consider buying. This product actually looks polished.

[gogosegaga]

I just got this phone and truly the icon has returned. The phone just oozes flair and futurism.
