Back in August of last year I switched out my iPhone 12 for a Motorola Razr+ Flip phone. Today I switched back to my old iPhone because I hate the Razr+ phone with every fiber of my being.
Let’s start with the folding because that’s the big feature here. I can’t speak for any other foldable screens but this one fucking blows and it makes me think we are not ready for foldable screens yet. After about 11 months of use the middle of the screen where the phone folds is already worn out and creased.
Not only that but you can feel the folding mechanism just under the middle of the screen. At first I thought I could get used to it but as time went on it started to feel like I was sliding my finger over a cancerous tumor just under the skin of my phone.
The phone itself is full of bugs. I have to restart the entire thing once or twice a day because some functionality quit working correctly. Most days it’s the keyboard that just stops working but there are few apps I haven’t had some trouble with. These are problems that have persisted since I bought the phone and have never been resolved.
I have owned all kinds of phones over the years. I like trying out new technology and I’m always aware that it could suck but holy shit this is disappointing. I had an N-Gage and a Windows phone for God’s sake but this Razr+ is still the worst phone I’ve ever owned. I recommend avoiding this particular phone like the plague but I’d be wary of any foldable honestly.
In closing I’d just like to say fuck Motorola. This post is a warning, it's too late for me but you can still avoid buying the Razr+!
Also just a reminder that I dropped some new stickers last week!
