Still Getting Used To It
My last phone was also a Motorola G50 5G.....and I have loved it but it got a filled-up memory and slowed down so much it rendered itself unusable, sadly. Thought I'd stick with them, get something with WAY more memory and chose this Razr. Having the smaller secondary display I think is better as they're really only there for a quick glance and a whole half of glass would be permanently full of marks !! I like to set the phone to connect calls as I open it but unfortunately I don't get to see who's calling on that little screen so may need to alter this. Unless I have a separate ringtone for a caller I don't know who it is as it says "contents hidden". There's perhaps a way round it or I may need to just reset it to wait till I've opened it to answer the call....
I'm VERY pleased there is no longer the annoying Google Assist button above the volume buttons. That was highly irritating on the G50.
The NFC sensor is in a dumb place on the back. It has meant I can't put on a thick cover in order to protect it better because your cards won't work and neither will wireless charging. The hard case that came with it and all you can seem to get online is fine BUT not in the least "grippy" so it feels like you're going to drop it. Other phones I've bought come with the bendy silicone clear cases. But I can't find one of those for love nor money which is a nuisance.
The battery lasts nowhere near as long as the G50 one. However, I bought a smartwatch at the same time and that seems to use a lot so that may be why.
The screen is narrower but pretty tall and is clear. Sound is good, clear colours, speed terrific. Photos fine though I think the old phone did a better job than what I've caught so far. In fairness I haven't taken too many so don't take that to heart too much !!
The fingerprint is on the side on the power button on this model. The G50 was on the back and I prefer it on the back. It still always works first time but I suppose it's what you get used to is all.
Now, the screen protector issue. It comes with one prefitted and I ordered 3 spares (as you do) only to read that if you put another one on or replace the prefitted one you're going to invalidate the guarantee. I've never seen this before and in the past I have chipped or cracked screen protectors. So I don't quite know what's going to happen if and when this happens to the Razr. I have done a bit of research and people have tried with differing results, not always good. It doesn't sound like you should EVER try prising off the one on there so be careful !! I HAVE also bought protectors for the little screen and I have stuck one of those on because otherwise it would get ruined-it touches whatever you put it on when you lay the phone down opened.
It's a lovely-looking little bit of kit-I bought the girly purple one as my last was a green. The fold-up is really handy, I have to say. Took a bit of getting used to, though.
All in all, I'm happy with it but I did really like my G50, too, and I didn't have the niggles with the G50 I have with this, like the screen protector or NFC sensor position and lack of grippy cases.
This version is WAY cheaper than the Ultra version and I really don't see what is to be gained from buying that version and not this one.
