To this day I still can’t figure out what issue a folding phone solves. A thick brick like that is uncomfortable in pocket
Phones are getting very long and difficult to fit in pockets. Folded up, it’s small and still thinner than a wallet.
I’d kinda like one, I’m finding it harder to find a pocket big enough to fit a regular phone in. It’s either the big pockets on baggy trousers or a jacket pocket. I’d also be super weary to put a regular phone in other pockets where that huge exposed screen can be damaged easily.
But the foldable screen just replaces that problem with another one, so at this point it doesn’t seem like a reasonable trade for me. But for people who tend to throw the phone in a handbag with 50 other things, this may be preferred.
You don’t wear women’s pants, do you? Either you don’t or you carry a purse. Some of us wear women’s pants and don’t want to carry a purse. Smartphones in around 2010 were small enough to fit in our pants, but have grown so much that it just isn’t possible nowadays unless you’re comfortable with like 80% of your phone protruding from your pocket and ready to fall out. A folding phone solves this. Plus it’s also fun lol.

Pros Exquisite Flip design with grippy vegan leather exterior. Great primary display with a rather unobtrusive crease. Helpful external OLED. Adequate battery life, fast charging. Loud stereo speakers, good audio quality. Great sustained performance, no throttling, no heating. Great all-round camera experience. Polished software with 3 years of major updates.
Cons Basic ingress protection. We never saw 144Hz refresh rate on the screen unless forced. GPU performance is behind direct competitors. Electronic stabilization needs improvement.
That design looks so fucking generic, completely unlike the first Razr foldable.
Yeah I’m kind of sad they didn’t stick with the retro Razr design. But I heard from some reviewers that the “chin” on the phone was a bit odd/uncomfortable and some people found it off putting. Nowadays, people want the screen real estate to take up the entirety of the phone without any dead space.
Yeah, basically the maximization of the ‘glass slab’.
Am I seeing right? This thing can take two physical SIM cards? Holy shit Motorola still rulez
But it cant take a SD card in one of them, my old moto G41 can do that :(
But well it’s clear that Google doesn’t want card support in phones, they’re keeping it more and more difficult to support. Of course they’ll rather sell you their cloud, and the manufacturers will also happily rather sell you 128GB extra storage for 200 €$£.
But at least with dual SIM you don’t sell you another phone, so that’s something.
That’s right. When you get this big, you can create problems and then sell solutions! It’s a shame that MicroSD card support is dying, really now. They’re so damn cheap and make switching phones so easy as well.
Disappoint that the external display isn’t a Always-on display. That’s the whole point of the external display, otherwise might as well open the full thing than fiddle with a mini screen 😑
I hope the Razr starts to gain more traction here in the US. We need more competition with Samsung.
I’m still waiting for a release date. I absolutely want to pick one of these up.
