5.0 out of 5 starsA strong upgrade to the 2020 Razr; feels like a flagship phone
Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2023
I am 4 days in and was coming from the 2020 Razr flip phone, which is pretty decent and I have enjoyed. The 2020 is generally a solid phone; no delamination, nice outer screen and easy to operate. The clamshell on both phones protects the screen well, so expect the phone to last.
This new 2023 Razr made all of the upgrades in exactly where it needed it. Now with wireless charging, 120hz refresh, bigger battery, bigger screen and a better camera. The processor is powerful enough for smooth operation everywhere. Also, so far no squeak like the 2020, but that never bothered me in the first place because it was so minor.
The build quality is great; tight fit but robust feel. When open it feels like a regular smart phone with no movement. The phone fold stays where you put it, also an improvement over 2020. The outer screen is large enough to use most apps; an improvement over the 2020, which was already good (I have used the 2020 to scan my boarding pass QR when traveling). The inner screen is just enough larger than the 2020 that it is easier to read everything for more mature eyes.
Great value for the price; Samsung had better watch out! I expect 2+ years and at $900 it is a steal.
Finally, this had to be the easiest switch of phones I ever had. The file transfer occurred over the included USB type C cable. It was about 15 to 20 minutes, but EVERYTHING transferred... My Google account, all of the apps, most of my games progress and even the location of the icons. I did have to readd the one weather widget, but not a big deal.
Bravo, Motorola!
