Motorola RAZR 50 Ultra Review | Z Flip's Dead, Baby

Reviewing the Motorola RAZR 50 Ultra, the best flip phone in 2024 - until Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 6 is launched? I've been testing the Moto RAZR 50 Ultra for a week so here's my camera experiences, gaming verdict and battery life review.

Check out my other flip smartphone videos here on Tech Spurt and let us know your thoughts below!

The Motorola RAZR 50 Ultra has been fun to use, with a versatile cover screen that can run any app you like. Flip it open to reveal a second pOLED screen, with the full Moto stock Android experience.

That camera tech is solid, so the Motorola RAZR 50 Ultra can capture good looking pics without too much stress. The video chops are pretty good too. Gamers can smash through some Genshin Impact on high detail, and this flip phone won't melt down. While battery life is limited but still good enough to get you through a full day.

So that's my review of the Motorola RAZR 50 Ultra. Stay tuned for a Galaxy Z Flip 6 unboxing, and we'll see how these two foldable smartphones stack up! But what do you reckon - is the Moto RAZR 50 Ultra one of the best phones of 2024?

I’m just glad that Motorola fully embraced the Razr brand and modernized it. I’m ok with shorter software support, the Android is mature enough that enhanced in each version are minor. I’m sure that’s not for everyone but I’d be happy with what I get, shame Apple won’t make a foldable for years if ever

Your videos/reviews have dramatically improve throughout the years. Shit, i remember watching you in the early days and would end the video asap once i got the info i needed or would just stop at randomly. Now, you are one of the few reviewers i watch first and also watch from beginning to the end.

As an owner of the 23 model, the smart connect app also offers to use your phone as a WEBCAM for your computer connected device. So if you're a content creator, this could serve as a decent travel or mini cam setup for recording.
You can also change the settings on the clam close feature. You can set apps to continually run or disable this feature. Just like you CAN disabled the "close to hangup" feature and switch to speaker mode.
When I close my phone the clock appears and a prompt to "continue?" on apps I was using while open. If I don't accept continue, nothing happens on the screen.
There's also a nifty feature where if you set your phone screen down, it enables DND mode.

They literally set up a new standard for the flip phones, no wonder tho as they invented about 2 decades ago, wooow, I want one so bad!

Goes to show u that 4 inch screen phones need to be a thing again. Idk why they can't make super small phones anymore

Got the plus 2023 a few days ago. I love that I don't have to take crappy photos anymore with front facing cameras.

Maybe it's just time to release a 4" display phone for those who are sick of huge screens?

[joshb]

I have to totally disagree with the texting/emoji from the lock screen. I've never had an issue and it's actually a point that I've particularly praised.

[moe]

shocked and disappointed that you didn't make a joke about tent mode

Hands-free activation is a game changer. Hopefully they'll be an update so you can open specific apps based on which body part you waggle at the camera.

I got one. Gotta say this is my most favorite smartphone I've ever had. The customisation on this phone is unparalleled. The unique features it has are actually useful and not just gimmicks (camcorder mode, karate chop motion to activate the very bright torch, twist flick the phone to go onto selfie mode but using the better quality back camera where you can actually see your face on the front screen, set apps to continue operating instantly on the front screen if you close the phone in the middle of using said app). I use the front screen as much as I do with it fully open, to my surprise. The battery life is very good for a flagship, and she charges real quick.

Having a flip phone turns out to be good for safety, too, which is what I has hoping for when I got one. Long phones bend in your pocket, especially if you have a physically rigorous job, which leads to damages. With the phone flipped in my pocket, it effectively turns into a block. Just get a Poetic hardcase for it and a screen protector for the front screen and you've now got a sturdy block that is well protected. The inside screen already has a pre-installed screen protector on it, which is good. The stock phone case that comes free with it is okay, but not the best, although it does come with a strap to turn it into a mini handbag (I don't know why you'd want to use your phone as a handbag, but hey-ho).

Wow, as an intense apple user i really think about buying this. Great video

[wolfkrueger]

Dinky, smooth and full of the phone's not bad too 😅. Love your videos chris!

[elliekim]

I'll still take the Samsung flip. Motorola doesn't support their phones as long and that's more important imho

[BLKWRDRMN]

Honestly that battery is comparatively much better than that of the Z flip or Z fold series. How can you think it's reasonable to make a large format foldable and think that 4300 MaH is a reasonable battery size. I've been using the fold series for years since the fold 2 and now I'm up to the fold 5. I'm seriously considering just going to a small format foldable and this phone is looking amazing as an option. The benefit is that moto still has their own version of Dex so I wouldn't be losing that.

[smwatson]

Already on offer for £750 ish including Moto Buds+. So tempting!

[michaelkelly]

I'm, upgrading to the Motorola razr 50 ultra.

[MohsinKamal-wo]

Chacha spurt a big fan of yours supporting you from long time.

[GameOnMario]

This man loves color green. I love it! The phone and the speaker at the back

[wardism]

I'm getting this phone tomorrow and honestly can't wait, have the Samsung z flip currently but personally the razr seemed much better this time around.

My grandad who died years ago had the original razr and he loved it, I wonder what he'd think about the new ones 😅still have his original razr as well will be cool looking at them side by side.
