Motorola RAZR 2023! The Amazing $499 Flip Phone!

The RAZR 2023 is the first true value foldable phone with an MSRP of $699, but right now is on sale for only $499 - half the price of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5! The RAZR 2023 is a beautiful phone wrapped in smooth touch vegan leather, and powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1, with plenty of power and features to really enjoy the phone, and a great first foldable phone!

*EDIT: I’m an idiot. I don’t know why but I said the Razr+ has the 8 Gen 2. It has the 8+ Gen 1. I of course know this but I think my brain is so used to saying 8 Gen 2 I didn’t notice I said it. Sorry for any confusion*

In my humble opinion I believe if Moto would’ve came out the gate with these prices they’d have out sold Samsung 4 to 1 it’s very hard going up against a giant like Samsung with the same price not smart of them they need to keep these prices & they’d be back in the Flip Game 💯

Got mine for $199 with adding a new line on cricket for a steal (needed one anyways) and I use it as a backup to my flip 5. Decent battery. Definitely a great deal for $240 after tax and the price of the line.

I pre ordered this phone. I traded in one of my other phones, So I paid $275 and I am really enjoying it. I have been using it for the past week and its a fun phone. I am glad you made this video!

I initially wanted the cream after seeing yours, but I thought it might show dirt and wear and tear more if I decided to go without a case. So I got lilac instead. I’m just opening it now and setting it up. It’s neat! Super light and it’s more of a dark purple. It looks brighter in videos!

Purchased this model a few hours ago on Consumer Cellular for $399. It replaces my Sonim XP8. Had a 2020 razr flip and loved it so really looking forward to the 2023 razr. Thanks for the video.

People tend to sleep on Motorola phones lately, but they're actually pretty solid. I picked up one of these Razr 2023's at launch because they were $100 off plus they were giving an extra $100 towards a trade-in. I had an old Moto G lying around that I bought used on ebay for like $50 that they gave me $160 for, making the Razr $440 plus tax. Moto's trade-in service is painless and they even send you a box and shipping label.

The build quality is what impressed me the most about the Razr 2023, as it feels sturdy and the hinge is smooth and tight. And the crease is almost non-existent, unlike the Z Flip 5 which has a very noticeable dip that your thumb/finger sinks into every time you slide it across the screen. I'm hoping Samsung finally fixes that with the Flip 6...

I'm a little disappointed by the inclusion of the 7 Gen 1 and not the newer 7 Gen 2 (or is it the 7+ Gen 2?), as the 7G1 only performs on par with the old 778G+ in my Nothing phone 1. But I guess the newer 7G chip would cost too much and perform too close to the 8+ Gen 1 in the pricier Razr+. Still, it does just fine in normal everyday use. Just don't plan on running any intensive games on it.

The only area where Moto really needs to improve is the cameras. I know I'm spoiled by using a Pixel 8 as my main phone, but I had an old Galaxy S9 that took better photos than this Razr. The pics it takes are serviceable, sure, but they sometimes make me cringe a little especially if I compare them to the pics the Pixel can produce.

I really wanted a flip phone to play with and have as a backup phone, and for $499 this one can't be beat. Had I waited a little longer, I might've been tempted by the Razr+ at $699 but that's a little more than I wanted to spend on what amounts to a novelty item for me.

I just ordered the razr in the green from T-Mobile for Christmas. Finally the price is better for finally a flip phone! My last was a flip blackberry and currently have iPhone 13 mini. Love iPhones but ready to try something different.

I was lucky I was able to pick an open box up for 400 and it’s so much nicer than my flip five I never really needed the front screen and I kind of missed just putting it in my pocket and not worrying about it which I now do with my Motorola razor Absolutely love it receptions better. Bluetooth is better I’m happy.

Went back and checked this out just got one almost brand new for 160, great deal

[cgtactical]

I just bought one for $199, at that price figured it is worth checking out

[tylercarmichael]

I just purchased my razer and I am very happy with it so far don't sleep on this great deal 💵😁💯

[ajplays]

I got mines through cricket. But since i was already a cricket user it was $299 with tax and shipping $351. But I absolutely love it. The only thing I would say is that after almost 3 weeks of use, the hinge paint on the back is coming off a tiny bit. But I love it

Just got my Razr for 200 at Cricket and absolutely love it.

Darn after watching YOUR great VID on RAzr I was about to take back my one plus 11 and try the Moto.Small curve Moto is 499 however TODAY the one Plus 11 is on sale for 630....

[lexingtonconcord]

It's a good looking phone. I think they would be more appealing if they made them a little more narrow, like the original flip phones, except with a full touchscreen in the more narrow area.
I wouldn't need/want a touchscreen on the outside.

How has Motorola been with security patches? Will these devices get Android 14 reasonable soon?

I was planning on getting the Razr 40 Ultra in black .... then I saw the Razr 40 in Vanilla Cream and even though it has a smaller external display I love it. Better battery too.
I just bought one on sale thanks to Black Friday sales.

I'm keeping an eye on the 40 Ultra .... hoping the price will come down a bit more that it has already for Black Friday... might wait until Cyber Monday to see if it drops even more.
I still hope to buy one.

In Australia
Razr 40 is currently $775 inc taxes (USD $500 - same as US price)
Razr 40 Ultra (aka Plus in the US) is currently $1197 inc taxes (USD $780 - $80 dearer than in the US)

Happy Veterans Day Adam! I was looking forward to this device but I was expecting it to be around 100 dollars more expensive. Great job Motorola! 🙂

How did you become a tester for Motorola? I am a tester for OnePlus which has been great, but I am wanting to expand into other brands.

Thanks for the video!
