I ended up returning my Razr because I couldn't get my USB external mic to work properly when recording videos. It always sounded like a noise-canceling filter was being applied. Is there a way you can test this on your model? That was my biggest gripe.

Goodbye iPhones hello moto

Thank you for giving this insight! I'm super interested in getting one myself ❤

damn I knew I should have got a pink one1!

Motorola is one of the best ❤always making unique and amazing smartphone,

i use the ultrawide on my phone l ike almost daily when i take photos. wide angles make env shots look fabulous. why on earth would they only put it in the cheaper phone? makes no sense and is sadly a dealbreaker for me

Coming from the 2023 base Razr the cover screen is really nice. You almost don't have to open the phone.

I think it’s a nice review. I really don’t like how the regular Motorola razor and the motor roller razor plus cameras are really just different. The cam on the plus it’s like two sharp and the camera on the Motorola razor. It’s like neutral so I don’t know like if you really blogger are you into cameras you’ll understand, but I guess it wouldn’t matter if you just not into like cameras stuff but I like this phone like the flip part of it different screen is amazing,

Where did you get the astronaut wallpaper on the external display?

Too many people crying about 3 years of software updates as if y'all are really gonna keep your phone for 7 years also spectrum needs to give more of these phones

I’ve used an iPhone since 2G, then a windows phone for like a few years, then back on the iPhone train since the 6S plus, currently using and iPhone 14 Pro Max and honestly I’m thinking about switching to android just for the variety such as flip phones and I’ve been watching videos for the MR+ and I’m really digging it.

I got a iPhone 14 Pro Max with T-Mobile but I ordered the Motorola razr+ through spectrum w internet for the deal bundle 🤷🏽‍♂️🤣

I recently got the Motorola RAZR plus 2023 because I got a really good deal on it!
I really like it, even though the battery is not wonderful..
How much better is the new one?

Great review on this phone Drew. I have a question that I think someone with your knowledge could probably answer.
Do you know where Motorola stores its data collected from users? Is it the United States or China since its an post-American company that is owned by Lenovo? Based on your review, I am very interested in purchasing this device but am a bit apprehensive about privacy. Big thanks if you could answer this for me.

Nice device but a killer for me regarding software and security update guarantees. 3+ years is not acceptable for me from Motorola. Samsung and Google have 7 year guarantees. It's a no brainer.

Im interested in the translation feature w dual in outer screens. Do you know if this phone has this, like the Samsung Flip 6? Ty in advance!

That fuchsia color is gorgeous!

Moto no updates rola !

Looks super nice

Mine doesnt have active photos anymore. Did they remove this feature or do I have a faulty phone? I had this on the previous razr. Seems odd its gone now on the new phone. Other than that, great phone!

Does Android auto work on this?

Switching to this from being an iphone user for yrs… idk what happened but iphone glitches way to often now

Hi question when you use instagram or facebook on front display cover screen can you use full screen so u can see everything & that big display

Does it has always on display on the cover display? Or only awake screen when you hold the phone? Thanks a lot

My google assistant doesnt work on this phone when i say hey Google, does anyone know how to make google work when saying hey google? Hey google works on my Samsung phone and Oneplus

I don't know why Motorola seems to have no motivation re updates. You don't want to step up to 7 years like Samsung or pixel? Fine. But for the 3+ years you are offering support, at least make it timely. Especially the security updates. C'mon, Motorola, act professional!

Koreans are hell bent on being apple, Motorola understands the assignment 😂

does it video call

I got the Motorola razr and so far it has been a great device for the price.

Well managed user experience in that tiny space. Apart from that it seems to suffer the same deffects as others foldables. Nice review

Hi as you look like you have every flip phone going ,how about a camera comparison of them all as like you I use the cameras more than anything. Currently have a Samsung flip 5 and was maybe thinking of going for either the oppo n3 flip or the xiaomi flip any advice would be greatly appreciated thanks

Great hardware, at a very good price, horrible software update schedules.

Hi, where is the Pixel 9 review?

Hello @TheMrMobile what's the theme you use for the icons on your phone

3:24 flipping the screen upside down to use the whole keyboard was definitely very cleaver.

These Chinese OEM's like Oppo and Xiaomi sure are giving Samsung are run for their money. Phone makers like Samsung, Sony and Google better start stepping up because these OEM's are going past them and its only a matter of wider availability.

Finally a folding phone with so much optimized software for a flip phone besides samsung and it got it so much right! hehe

but why they don't put the cover screen on the other side ?

That cover screen is 100% the best out of all the foldables. I'm not usually an enjoyer of Xiaomi's UI But this is the perfect middle ground between the restrictiveness of the Galaxy Z Flip and the anarchy of the Motorolla RAZR

Don’t trust my data on that

Derivative but solid 👍🏻

Who the hell uses ultrawide, it's trash. All phones should come with 3x

Foldables are near a design plateau because despite them folding, there's really not much different from non-foldables.

Im triggered on how you spell xiaomi

Using a small phone that flips open into a bigger phone doesn't sound that great, but a regular smartphone that unfolds into a tablet sounds way more exciting and useful and productive. In my opinion, Foldables are future but flip phones are just childish and gimmicky.

1:55 Those animations are so smooth. Kind of silly, but one of the reasons I like the iPhone is because the animations are so good. Xiaomi keep it up!

You KEEP forgetting you CAN switch to portrait mode on the razr by turning it SIDEWAYS. The big benefit of the razr is that it rotates a FULL 360 on the front screen.

Please make a comparison review of Mix Flip vs Magic V Flip. Thanks!

The cover screen is incredible and ingenious; how is this not the standard for most folding phones?

Have you subscribed to this channel yet?

First flippable that's actually compelling, IMO. The software on the cover appears to be excellent, while quite a few of the complaints from the chinese software are addressed by the Global/EU ROM.

The main cam is also solid by the looks of it (RIP telephoto), those shots look roughly like what came out of last year's Xiaomi 13. Battery is like a regular smartphone as well.
I think I'm okay with having last year's (or 2 years ago's) mainstream-ish high end phone experience this year if it also flips into a square and has that cool-ass front display.

On the other hand, this being 2X the price in the EU ( Announced at 1300€ ) is kinda telling - they're expecting to lose money on warranty claims so needed the jack up the price.

Who here thinks Xiaomi is becoming the new Huawei? Remember when Huawei would push the boundaries as far as possible for the time before the ban? I think Xiaomi is filling those shoes now that Huawei phones are unviable for most due to the lack of Google services.

3:08 oh Lord. Am I an old now? I'm old! We're old!!!!!!! 😓😭

the best cover screen experience to this point! this is what makes the flips fun.

I gotta say that cover screen UI is 🔥

It has a bigger battery than the z-fold! That shows how confortable has Samsung become in the past years.

I really, really hate that the US has such limited phone options. We got like, four major brands, thats about it. Two of which are dominant, that I understand. But the rest of the world has so so many more options!
Come on, competition breeds innovation!

This is one of those classic places where some much needed innovation has been applied in a budding tech space. Hats off to all the small stuff they put effort into, I hope at best they make a more mature product that gains some foothold, and at worst, and I mean at worst, these ideas get sniped by the larger competitors.

1day qgo

I've said it before and I'll say it again. No matter how good xiaomi, oneplus, and even google phones are, whether it's slab or foldable, Samsung and Apple have nothing to worry about unless the competitors can actually match their truly global availability. Not their 'global' idea that's just a handful of countries. People in my country dont know any other phone companies other than samsung and apple, this long standing brand name carries into the future and sales

This video is so beautiful, fine art museums should hang TVs for visitors and have in on loop.

Damn I'm sure the camera might not be the best in low light, but those daylight photos look really "cinematic", it's better than just a filter

was previously dead set on leaving the flip phone market until i saw this phone and its software formatting. despite its faults, i love the layout choices which purposefully avoid the exterior camera lenses from interfering with using phone apps. my ONLY problem still with the direction of the designs of flip phones: there's no use in buying a case anymore, and therefore are all the more prone to damaging the phone.

I just wish we had a small square phone imo

Nope. Not buying a chinaphone. I don't care how good it is.

Even with an IP Rating, you should NEVER cool a phone with ice or similar. This is a terrible idea and can actually damage the phone.

having used a z flip5 for 8 months (and it's internal screen having broken down in that period) I must say flip phones are awesome

but for now I'll stick with a S23 Ultra

I love your dedication to keeping an eye on out of market phones that none of us will ever get to see. It really helps to contextualize the broader smartphone market, and its content I see nowhere else.

That cover screen UI is so sleek and nice! Looks like a treat to use. I wish Samsung would take notes. 👀

If this phone goes international, I definitely want this.

Not gonna lie this is the first time i saw how small screen software was done on xiaomi mix flip in such detail- or maybe that well presented... And im impressed and loving it. On that part they are already winning imo.

MR MOBILE bin waiting for ur review over this phone en watched many times, bin loving Huawei pocket flips, motor razer, Oppo, Vivo en Samsung flipBT u made mi change my minds for XIAOMI MIX FLIP bro, this gadget is Extremely excellent in it's class, beginners tym to wake up for more innovation technology for consumers likes ❤❤❤❤❤, bravo Xiaomi 🎉🎉🎉

Imagine. First product in a line and the same level if not much better (charging and camera) as the flip 6.
Shame samsung, shame shame.

Caution when comparing batteries using mAh. The proper unit to compare the amount of energy stored in each battery is Wh (that depends also on the battery's output voltage). Sadly, manufacturers tend to refer mAh on the battery capacity but Watts for battery charging power 😂

more ewaste usa can't even use, i get it.. i guess

Is it only me or this phone photos actually look less sharp.

Xiaomi does it the apple way 3:25 💀

Best lost reference i have seen in a while

I think custom roms can get revived with these new flip phones. So much potential for tinkering. It's a good thing you can customize (almost?) anything on android phones

you forget that the CCP probably has some type of spyware running in the background absorbing everything done on the phone, requiring most Chinese manufacturers to heavily manage background tasks to keep good battery life.

Xiaomi fan since 2018 😊

Madlad trying to play ZZZ with the touch controls!

Oooh, the front cover aspect ratio while using apps does seem compelling, the odd aspect ratio in my Razr does get annoying sometimes. I understand why manufacturers don't want to use third party keyboards there too bc i use gboard and it is kinda buggy on the cover display sometimes, but i prefer it that way.

And i'm not sure i could deal with Xiaomi's software annoyances you mention too. I've borrowed an european market xiaomi phone from a friend and had the same issues with niagara, power saving, and most annoying of all, ads in random places. Interesting to see that comment with the excuse for the powersaving modes being that apps shovel ads everywhere, meanwhile Xiaomi does the literal same with its browser for example. quite an annoying user experience tbh that has turned me away from those phones even if the specs are always impressive

As always. Smooth

I'm so excited for the flip phone showdown! I'm seriously thinking about upgrading my s22 ultra for the razr plus

That external screen, the way it works is the business. 👍

They al manufacture in China, easy to steal, sorry, i mean "share" tech with other companies

Hey Mr. Mobile, The reason you are still missing some notifications is because you need to turn off the setting "mii optimizations" in developer options. It might be a different name now on HyperOS. But it is still there. Turn that off and the performance greatly increases and you dont miss notifications anymore. It's a Xiaomi thing unfortunately

Half-rectangles are gonna be half-rectangles no matter how you spin it. How do you expect the design to change?

It looks like Apple software! That small screen is DYNAMITE!

Hey Fisher, is the Xiaomi your daily driver?

That cover display is seriously impressive, honestly kinda makes Samsung seem a little lazy considering how long they've had to iterate.

Gestures on 3rd party launchers don't work even on non foldable Xiaomi phones

Xiaomi EU ROMs always fixed Chinese Xiaomi Devices for Me. Would be awesome to see what they can do for this Device...

The next generation of flip is always exciting.
Is apple the only guys out there without a flip or foldable? I guess they're just sitting back and watching how this all unfolds... no pun there 😊

Is Xiaomi going to work in the US?

Flip phone for girls

Fold phone for boys

Candybar phone for legends

Looks amazing ❤

is that a f2.4-4.7 Summilux branded lens? Ohh Leica you shillout...

They need to treat these flip phone cover screens like a full experience. Like the Fold phones.

The Leica filters are very cool. Im a gimmick guy and love that kind of unique flavor to a phone

what would happen to Mr Mobile's heart rate if Apple AND Google release a flip in the same year....

I'll buy emm when they feel comfortable enough to ship these phones folded in the box.

Whenever Michael talk about Nokias , it makes me nostalgic, i really started to follow him really hard when he did the video of Nokia lumia 1020 and the big review on the website..I was so happy someone talking about it so much at that time...

This is definitely the way to go for front screens!

Any chance you can review the global version of the Honor Magic V3 please.
Thanks from downunder 🇦🇺😍

I'd happily get just one half of this thing 🙃
Really tired of large smartphones and the external display does practically all I need.

😂 smash game... I literally downloaded this 2 weeks ago after forgetting I had that game many many many years ago.

As always, awesome review!

There is no sponsor message in this video!

No no no no no no no🙄🙄🙄🙄
Another company made a flip flagship with yet no "click to un-flip" button??? I mean come on, we know flip phones needs two hands to un-flip, but yet still no company wants to initiate that new era of that "click to un-flip" flagships??? which is not as new as no company made it before in the 90's where foldable was something else.

09:57 what is that watch 😮

TAME IMPALA MENTIONED

I have 2 friends that switched from Samsung to a midrange xiaomi. But after few months they both want to switch back because of constant bugs, weird software and bloatware. The feature set of chinese phones stomps Samsung but I'm still hesitant to switch to their folding phones because I just hate the software.

Thank you for mentioning Xiaomi blocking gesture navigation if you're using a third party launcher. It's a huge dealbreaker for me and a lot of other reviewers don't mention this. Maybe it's a well known thing already or something, but it's still baffling me that this is the case with Xiaomi phones. Just let us use gesture nav with our choice launcher, Xiaomi! I can cope with the battery saver song and dance though.

This seems like the best execution of the cover screen for a flip phone I've seen so far. A shame it's still on a whitelist basis for apps. Maybe there's going to be an app that can force it? IIRC there was an app that can force more apps to be usable on the cover screen back when Oppo's flip phone became internationally available.

I love the idea of foldables although as someone that can only justify one phone every 2 or 3 years. I almost pulled the trigger on the One plus open last time but I stayed safe and got an iPhone. The risk can’t be justified for me really. I am making it a bit more fun today though; my Clicks keyboard is due to be delivered later ❤

the questions is always the same, how long does it takes before a huge creak will be in the center of the screen?

some people need a bridge instead of boat for crossing sir

I definitely remember the Continuum.

Can't wait to install a custom rom in this 😂😂

IT WILL NEVER BEAT A 2 way Nextel

Again one of the finest foldable review. Always enjoy watching your review videos.
I just wish the large size foldables go on discount and we can get a hold of them on a reasonable price. Until then we will enjoy watching your review videos.
All the very best Mr.Mobile🎉

Xiaomi choosing to support Russian war efforts in Ukraine makes any of their products a non starter.

Cpt.Molpio on dreds..

What will the battery health be after charging at those speeds over the years?

No surprise on the camera lens choice, both chinese companies competing after all.

I really wanna know your long term review on these phones. Wasn’t flip 5 supposed age much better than previous flips but I know someone who got it last year as soon as it launched but within 8 month has a line of black dead pixels spreading across the fold in the middle

When i first bought a Mi4, the best feature i loved is the age prediction feature in the camera

You're an unmatched video maker let alone the the writing and the voiceover.

@TheMrMobile Adding to the previous reply, all Xiaomi notification system is in Mipush construct, which need dev verification and support, which google do not go through.
That may explains your notification problems.
