These Razr + phones are the only Android phones that could tempt me out of the Apple walled garden. So cool.
Got a tip for us?

Totally agree with you. Only ones which are stylish, functional and fast enough to use as an iOs alternative for me.
Just curious like the phone concept and have one coming Monday...have you tired putting in a g-cam apk to see if that helps on the camera?
No I didn’t. I’ve been there before with other Androids and it just never seems to work very well. Granted, mostly I’ve tried to install it on Xperia devices and not had much success, but for the price the camera on the Razr should be better.
I’m not meaning Pixel quality, but even Mr Mobile and other reviewers have said the camera is lacking.
There seems to be a number of mid-range Chinese made phones with better cameras at a fraction of the price, let alone more high end devices.
Was in a Best Buy today checking on sales, which there weren't any......on 4th of July weekend? 🤔
Anyways they did have a Razr 40 that I messed with. I thought it was pretty damn cool and would like to get one, but I won't till they go on sale. Not paying $999. Needless to say I won't buy SS's new one when it comes out for $1399 or so lol.
It opened flat which was a complaint in here and the front screen is very cool and useful.
Just liked it and it won't be big in my pocket. Camera seemed fine to me but I'm not a photographer. If it's clear, good enough.

Two little annoyances, firstly the camera performance is poor in comparison to the iPhone 14 Pro. Secondly, the 5w wireless charging is brutally slow. Other than that, I have no complaints. Battery life is fine, the software is fine.
to me it is not distracting at all. if you’re looking for it, it’s there but with normal use it disappears. you can feel it when swiping. the real funny thing is i still have my iphone 14 pm as i’m a dev of a couple apps and have an apple tv, watch, mac, but the funny thing is after using the razr then i use my iphone, i see the crease on the iphone. i really like the razr, the crease is fine.
What’s the overall software performance like any lags or stutters, has it had any updates since you’ve had it?
I haven't had any lags at all. Prob the fastest Android phone I've ever had when compared to the iPhone. Everything is nice and smooth.
Not sure if I would either. Was hoping I would get one to try out but nothing. Oh well probably saved me a trip to UPS when I returned lol.
Zero stutters or “lag” (I really don’t like this word!) in software. It’s fast, it’s fluid, it’s smooth. No complaints. It had one update right as I bought it.
I had that one too I've had quite a few Motorola's including the Motorola Nexus which we call the whale.. lol lol
I ended up buying the phone off the Prime deal. Playing with it last two days and it really is a cool little device. Very smooth and the front screen is extremely usable. Ultimately not for me as I find myself using it flipped open more often than not which defeats the purpose imo. Don't think the camera is all that great either but definitely not bad persay.
The last Moto I used was the Atrix, that thing was awesome at the time with the laptop like accessory.
Back to my Fold 4 and just ordered an S23 Ultra. One other thing I really like about the Moto is the OS, seems very close to stock Android with some very nice additions such as the Samsung like edge panel.
