If you had told me last year that in

2020

JLo and Shakira would star in the Superbowl, Hummer would be making a new vehicle and I would be reviewing the Motorola RAZR foldable phone, I would have told you that you were crazy and I would have asked you what year we traveled back in time but here we are this video is sponsored by audible this strange box contains the world's first hot dog style foldable smartphone you know where it folds lengthwise instead of the fat hamburger style, right? I've

test

ed foldable phones here in the past on my channel with Galaxy Fold and Flex Pay but they were both like foldable tablets and this guy, well it's more like a foldable phone, this might also be the first phone you want to keep.

The box has a built-in rubber stand that

redirect the phone's speakers. It has the base towards the front. Something interesting. Let's see what else is in the box. Before saying hello to Moto. In this elegant magnetic case, we receive some instructions along with the headphone dongle. 18 watts braided headphones and a braided USBC cable seem like a pretty good package. I've heard a lot of people ask if this new Motorola RAZR can still handle those angry crashes you know like after a phone call and the phone snaps aggressively. Today we

will

answer that question once and for all.

More Interesting Facts About,

2020 moto razr durability test will the folding icon survive...

I think it's time to check out our new friend. Hello, let's start now. What I like most about this Motorola RAZR is the form factor when it is open, it occupies almost the same size. As much space as my Note 10 plus, which I would say is a pretty common phone size these days, but the Motorola RAZR has the ability to fold in half and literally take up half the space when closed. It's a form factor that actually makes sense. Looking closely at the hinge of the new riser we can see some exposed gears, looking at things along the side, they don't actually spin like we saw on the Galaxy.

Fold these tines, just keep both sides, both left and right,

at the same time. speed so that one side doesn't bend faster than the other, the paper-thin screen lifts off the foam body as it begins to close and you can literally see the light shining through the components at first glance, this looks like a little sketchy, but it still feels pretty solid even if the screen lift-off is a little disconcerting, the bottom edge of the screen tucking into the base of the phone a bit as it slides down to compensate for that crease-free crease on the center, there are no fold lines in the center of this screen as we saw on the Galaxy Fold Motorola said on its website that this phone is designed with a gap-free hinge that allows both sides to close perfectly flush to protect the main screen , but unfortunately I still see a gap between the two halves of the phone when it's closed and I'm not a dust expert or anything, but dust can definitely still sneak in there and it's not perfectly flush with the zero gap.

Saying it is perfectly flush with the zero gap is incorrect at least with my unit. I'll try the powder more in just a second. The smaller front screen is not a fully functional screen like the one we saw on the Galaxy Fold. This is more just for notifications and stuff, and I can't control the whole phone. I'm getting distracted though. It's time for that scratch

, now the whole trick with these foldable phones is that the screen is actually made from a thin piece of plastic. Plastic has multiple drawbacks, one cannot apply a screen protector or the screen might break, this is very unfortunate.
As we once again started to see damage at a level up to a level three, I almost felt like my highest pick was going to start cutting into the screen and my nails may once again leave a mark on the screen. I was previously excited when I read that Motorola designed a gapless hinge with a perfectly flush closure, as avoiding damage to the screen is one of the main things you want to do with the foldable phone, but as we see with the screen, this soft dust and dirt will continue to be a problem, the simplest solution.
As I suggested with the Galaxy Fold, vacuum your pockets every morning when you should be fine. The outer screen, since it does not need to be folded, is made of glass. I scroll through the highest hardness scale and find that the 2.7-inch outer screen has confirmed scratches at a level 6 with deeper grooves at a level 7, a cool little Easter egg with this high-tech phone 20 /20 Razor is that if you go into the hidden settings and drag a retro shaver. In the main dropdown menu, you can make your hot new $1,500 phone look like a $15.00 phone. I would like to see an iPhone try it.
As for the build quality of the Motorola RAZR, everything feels relatively sturdy. The earpiece grille. It is made of metal and will not fall off on its own The top curve is made of glass which also protects the five megapixel front camera The original RAZR from 2004 only had a three megapixel point camera The frame is made of metal along with the button Textured metal power button and the volume rocker just below that power button are also made of metal. The hinge cover is a vital component that holds both halves of the phone together and the frame of the bottom half of the phone is also made of metal. phone is also made Made of metal, the phone is very well balanced on each half of the hinge at the bottom with its plastic chin, it includes a fingerprint scanner which is actually quite scratch resistant, but I still managed deal some damage with my Ridge Blade even with those scratches. although the phone was able to read my fingerprint and unlock the phone every time, it's not bad at all, the bottom of the shaver has a plastic grill for the speaker and a USBC charger.
If we take a look under the grill plate, we can see that the speaker is in place. on the right side of the phone and appears to have its own waterproof mesh protecting the opening. Motorola says this phone is splash resistant. We'll have to evaluate that statement further from the inside when we take it apart. You subscribe so you don't miss that disassembly. We know that the outer screen is made of glass along with the glass camera lens covering the 16-megapixel main camera on the back and the dual-tone LED flash, both covered with glass. However, the panel is plastic now.
I never had one of these shaving foams when I was a kid. I got a job delivering pizzas and instead bought the Nokia 6800 with its full QWERTY keyboard, but I remember how popular these things were, as you can clearly see. a razor on a razor on a razor on top of a razor the Razer logo down here on the bottom of the phone is glued very securely in place and will come off on its own over time, which of course is a good thing Considering the Razor's current price tag of $1,500 you'll probably have to start selling the old Tamagotchi and Beanie Baby collection from the last time the Razor Phone existed.
I think it's time to revisit that dust situation now, obviously this is a bit on the pockets and stage end, but phones are probably the most abused pieces of technology on the planet and given that the hinge Motorola leaves a gap, it is something we must be careful of. I will let the dust move into every possible crack and crevice on the surface of the knife. It's hard to see, but it's for science. Planet Earth is covered in dirt and we must be prepared for anything. The dirty phone still works pretty well, the screen is mostly not broken yet, but the hinge sound is more like nails on a chalkboard at this point. and not as smooth as before, looking closely we can see that a speck of dust already managed to get under the screen, causing the light to reflect off the Bulge a little differently than normal, something unfortunate with the time, this could damage.
The pixels on the back and kill the screen, that compromised space between the screen hinges will cause a dust problem in the future, speaking of compromises as this video was sponsored by Audible and they released some new audiobooks at the beginning of the year . year to help me improve in certain areas and never split the difference is what I'm currently listening to is about the negotiation tactics that the FBI's top kidnapping negotiator used in some pretty intense international hostage negotiations you can get your first audiobook for free when you visit audible.com slash jerry-rigged or text jerry-rigged to 500 500 Audible also has plenty of podcasts, plus top-notch comedy and a great selection of Audible originals.

capability, but Samsung's phone will probably also have the same plastic screen, which isn't a bad thing of course, it works as long as we all know it's plastic and we all know which is a little more fragile. than glass screens, then we can take care of it.
Another difference is that this plastic screen does not retain the heat of my lighter. The pixels are still very vivid after 25 seconds. The plastic is not melted and is still cool to the touch. The usefulness of this knowledge is basically. It borders on zero, but as we know from this phone's erroneously named zero hinge, zero doesn't actually mean zero. At this point I'm stalling, as this is one of the coolest phones I've ever found on my desk and I don't have much confidence in its ability to

survive

what's coming. The feature of this flip phone that interests me the most is its ability to snap shut after a phone call.
Remember that currently there is still a stone behind the screen somewhere and I slammed it as hard as a person can with one hand and now with two hands, even with two hits and a small pebble behind the screen, this Motorola RAZR may have scanned the abuse and the phone definitely seems equipped to handle it. all the abrupt phone cuts, I would still deal with it since you never know what the last ship will be. I think it's time, let's say you leave your phone face down on the couch and Great Aunt Susie comes over to ask you why you didn't bring someone special to the family gathering, she sits down and now her screen is unresponsive and she has a new and cool four-point design in the center, not from the rock that was trapped earlier, but from some physical component within the rectangular object underneath, it was simply crushed against the smooth back side of the screen after turning off the screen and then turning the phone back on. it works again, but the four pixels do not recover.
If we look at it one more time, we can see that it actually required a considerable amount of force before breaking. I'm quite impressed that the razor hinge is not as strong as the full galaxy tint, but it still holds firm, the phone keeps working even after the screen is punched out from the back, the hinges, like You know, they bent back and it's a little more flexible than usual, something is broken inside, but it's still pretty amazing that the phone can still function as normally as it deserves. a thumbs up bike is putting up a fight, it looks like one of the things that broke is whatever was holding the screen inside the chin.
You can see the screen popping out a little, revealing some pretty interesting components that look like a Faraday cage, like the ones we saw inside. For the Nokia 3310, the teardown should be interesting when touching the bottom edge of the screen, however it immediately kills the entire row of pixels running up the screen. I'll test my theory again by tapping here on the right side, yes, that's definitely a bad idea. The paper-thin OLED display technology still blows me away, as the bottom portion of the display was removed from the phone. In reality, it is no longer going to fold back.
The small bubble near the hinge shows how a thin and flexible display can be achieved. Of course, you'll always need the foam body to hold it up so it doesn't wrinkle or bend in the wrong place and get rejected, but as we can see, it takes quite a bit of abuse. Flexible screens still need a smooth curvewhen you fold if the fold gets too tight and the screen really wrinkles everything completely dies and that's it, now we know the limit of the new Motorola RAZR angry phone calls are fine but you probably shouldn't let anyone sit on your open phone or They could be curtains.
I think we should perform an autopsy. If you want to see the inside of this thing, let me know in the comments. Are you interested in buying a foldable phone?
