Yes I know ancient !! Been eyeing the new Motorola Razr (2nd Gen.). Was wondering if anyone has the Razr and their take on it. Ive read plenty of reviews online, but figured I would ask here too. Im also looking at Samsung S20 Ultra. Yes I know the S21 Ultra is out, but I do not need the 10X optical zoom. And I pay cash for my phones and can not see paying $900 for a cell. So any S20 owners, chime in too. But my favorite all time cell was the old Razr's. But the folding screen seems like it may be an issue in the future. And I keep my phones forever, hence my ancient S4. Thanks Edited August 24, 2021 by MikeB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Liked it at first but the screen kept blacking out when I opened it. Started happening about 2 days after I bought it. Cool phone but wasn't ready for the public abuse yet. Returned it an just bought a moto Z4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always remove it or disable it to speed up the phone. But its the hassle. They say Motorola phones have very little "bloatware" installed from factory. I will research other Motorola phones too. jointz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

The snap dragon chipsets are super fast. Not sure about new iPhone chip stuff but I have big thumbs and found iPhones hard to type on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the fact the S20 has an sd memory slot. The Razr does not. I always tell people Im an idiot with a smart phone !!

A personal recommendation for an alternative is the Sony xperia 1 II (now the 1 III is released) as that is also a cracking phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
