RAZR: The Folding Phone You ACTUALLY Want

**The Loudest Video I Have Ever Made!**

Hey guys, this is Austin! And welcome to the loudest video I have ever made! If you can't tell right now, Diplo is playing behind me! It's quite loud here!

**Introducing the New Motorola Razr**

So the new Motorola Razr is a folding phone. So if you've seen the Galaxy Fold, you'll have a little bit of an idea of what to expect. Although, instead of having the fold on the inside, with a sort of weird screen, you actually have a proper, flip phone. So it's very un-menacing when you look at the design, especially on the bottom of the little chin area, we have the speaker, the USB-C port, as well as the fingerprint sensor.

**Impressive Design and Display**

But the thing that really jumps out to me about this is it's actually really well done. So with the Razr, what you're getting here is a 6.2 inch pOLED display. Now like in the Galaxy Fold, it is very flexible, so you can easily open and close it, but unlike on the Galaxy Fold, it's actually... I don't wanna say perfectly smooth, because you can feel there's a little bit of a metal mechanism underneath the screen. But there's no real crease in it; it's actually really impressive to use.

**The Same Thickness as the Original Razr**

While it's a little bit bigger than the original Razr, what I'm impressed with is it's the exact same thickness, as that OG Razr. Like seriously! It is 13 millimeters thick when it's open or closed.

**Running Android and Unique Features**

So with the Motorola Razr, what we're getting is a phone which is running Android, but it is a much more modern take on the standard Razr. I'm going to talk to the Android expert himself.

**A Word from Marques Brownlee**

That was a word from Marques Brownlee. Noted YouTube celebrity and huge fan of the Motorola Razr, specifically this event! Don't you love the lighting and the lack of any kind of ability to speak in here?

**Talking about the Razr Special Features**

While I'm jamming out to Diplo, being a cool kid, like the cool kids do, let's talk about what makes the Razr special. So with that 6.2 inch pOLED display, what you're getting is something which is a foldable phone, but it's actually in a reasonable form factor.

**Practicality and Durability Concerns**

However, with this, I'm a little bit concerned about durability, so as you go to close the phone, you'll see there's actually a little bit of a gap in the underneath the hinge, as well as, when you look at the bottom of the screen, it actually tucks in and out as you fold it. But generally speaking, in the hand, it does feel fairly sturdy.

**Front-Facing Display and Camera**

There also is a front-facing display which is again very similar to what you get on the Razr. What's cool about it is that you can use it for the camera.

**The Original Razr Nostalgia**

So to sum my thoughts on the Motorola Razr, essentially, it's Diplo approved! And also, I probably should go back to the studio and talk more about the original Razr right now!

**CES 2023: The Razr Goes on Sale**

This phone goes on sale right around CES, or early January of next year. $1,500 is hard to justify! But especially when you look back at the original Razr, there's definitely a lot of nostalgia there, right?

Motorola Razr,specifically this event!Don't you love the lightingand the lack of any kind ofability to speak in here?- Absolutely!I couldn't even hearyou, I'm just agreeing.- It's a good general strategy in life!While I'm jamming out to Diplo,being a cool kid, like the cool kids do,let's talk about whatmakes the Razr special.So with that 6.2 inch pOLED display,what you're getting is somethingwhich is a foldable phone,but it's actually in areasonable form factor.So one of the things that really struck mewith the Galaxy Fold, is that it's cool,but it doesn't actuallyseem particularly practical.However with this,I'm a little bit concernedabout durability,so as you go to close the phone,you'll see there's actuallya little bit of a gap in the,underneath the hinge, as well as,when you look at the bottom of the screen,it actually tucks inand out as you fold it.But generally speaking, in the hand,it does feel fairly sturdy.There also is a front-facing display,which is again, very similarto what you get on the Razr.What's cool about it, is thatyou can use it for the camera,which is nice for taking selfieswith the main shooter,since it's on the outside.Now one the things whichI am not a huge fan of,is the actual spec of the phone,as it's running a Snapdragon 710.So if you're familiarwith the Snapdragon 710,it has graced such wonderful devices,such as the Smartisan Nut Pro 2S,the Mystery Tech phone thatwe took a look at recently.And by recently I mean last year.Look, it's weird thatthis is a very expensive,high-end phone that has amid-range 2018 processor,but, they definitely spent alot of money on the design,on the screen, it does actuallyfeel really impressive.Is it easy to recommend a$1,500 (cha-ching) phone?Yeah, I mean it's cheaperthen the Galaxy Fold,but it is a $1,500 phone!A lot of the specs, realistically,with this phone are fairly underwhelming.The processor isn't anythingon special, that's very bright.As well as you're getting a okay camera.It's not actually that good, but I mean,from my early testing,it seems to be fine,especially, it's very dark inhere, it's kinda hard to tell.It doesn't have a massive battery,I think it's somewhere in the neighborhoodof about 2,500 milliamp hours,but the thing is, the Razris not a practical choice.This is not a phone whichyou can just say, oh yes!Obviously, that's the newphone I'm going to use.It's a novelty, it's something cool,it's something very differentand unlike something like,I gotta, I keep bringingup the Galaxy Fold.It's really the only major competition,there's actually a real use for the Razr.The Galaxy Fold is great,but you know it's gonnabreak in like five seconds.This is a much smallerphone and importantly,it still seems usable, right?Like once you open itup, it's not that big,it's not that wide.It just kinda feels like a normal phone.When you fold it, it is much, much smallerand I appreciate that.That's a legit gimmick,it's not just like,oh, we've got a giant tablet.It's like, no, this is a normal phone,which is half the sizeit normally should be.The thing is with the Razr, it's cool.It's something which I'm honestly,really excited to check out,so the pre-orders go live in Decemberand this should go on sale, ow that hurt!This phone goes on sale right around CES,or early January of next year.$1,500 is hard to justify!I mean, it is really,really hard to justify,but especially when you lookback at the original Razr,there's definitely a lotof nostalgia there, right?I mean there's nostalgiafor flipping your phone.Hey Ken, how's it going?Oh you didn't spend enoughmoney on Mystery Tech!(clicks phone)Come on, we all miss that, right?So to sum my thoughtson the Motorola Razr,essentially, it's Diplo approved!And also, I probably shouldgo back to the studioand talk more about theoriginal Razr right now!(upbeat music)
