Welcome
0:07
And Phnom is a Motorola razor from 2019 and I'll go over a brief unboxing along with an overview
0:15
and my personal opinion about the device itself. So let's get started
0:20
So this is the device that, well, the box that it comes in
0:24
I'll just peel it off quickly so you can get a bit of a look. So from here you actually see the device itself
0:29
device itself if I could actually get the light tool kind of goes through it you can see the top of it now the camera seems to be
0:41
not very well picking it up so let's just get that open now the device already is
0:45
set up so you don't actually have the genuine unboxing I would say now for
0:52
actually proceed and I kind of show it you have a nice little sponge right here so
0:56
the device can actually be open in there and look all nice and stuff when you first open it up
1:03
It's actually really nice and premium feel of unboxing the device, although the device itself in my opinion is not that
1:13
the boxing is probably the most high quality part of this entire phone
1:19
So as you can see there it is, I'm just going to set it onto the side for now
1:25
And you have a rubberized stand that actually also sound, both as a kind of like a sound dock, it does have these grills right here
1:36
And when you place it down in there, we'll see that you have speakers right here
1:41
It's kind of like a weird mesh as a speaker grill. And when you place it on here, it will just spread the sound from here basically outwards
1:50
So it helps the sound spread around a little bit better. So again, it's just about to say
1:59
And as you can see on the side, this is another thing that I really like here
2:05
So you have this little pouch with all the accessories and it's also magnetic as you can see
2:12
If the cables didn't actually fall out. So you can see. So really nice honestly, this is really nice quality
2:24
And inside you can see you have all the dangle. so you can listen to headphones
2:31
For 1.5,000 they didn't bother giving you wireless headphones. You just get these wired
2:37
Although braided, they're still wired. I would prefer to have wireless than braided cables everywhere
2:43
But that's just me. You might have a different opinion. Now, the buds itself look, in my opinion, really nice
2:50
If you have some kind of problem that your butts fall out of your ears should stay in fairly well
2:54
based on these little wing tips. So yeah, they seem all right in that aspect
3:02
Still would rather have wireless. Inside also you have a charger, obviously you need to charge it
3:07
And from what I remember, it's a 15 watt charger, nothing mind-blowing for the price that you pay
3:15
Unacceptable, in my opinion. And then you also have another braided type C cable for the charger itself
3:22
Also looks like there's something else here. more tips right here. So as you can see you have additional ear tips
3:30
the ones that are by default are too small or too big, you can change them up
3:35
I'll just slop that back in here. Also the type of the headphone jack to see is also braided
3:43
So we've got that all out of the way. Just put it back in here
3:48
Close it. And once more I will say I really like the case for this
3:53
for this. It really feels like you spend your money nicely I would say. I'm really sure I
4:01
would say it. It does feel premium and it feels like you were kind of rewarded for it. But then
4:06
we go to the phone itself which is a in my opinion a massive disappointment and I
4:11
might be a little bit of a bit harsh but I'll throughout the video I'll explain what I
4:15
mean in almost every part of it. So starting off when you close it, keep in mind that
4:22
it's now nice and clean right now. The foldable displays are fairly hard to clean overallly
4:30
And that is not just the fault of this device. Almost all of them
4:35
the plastic itself kind of feels weird to clean. It doesn't really want to come off of it. Just a little thing to keep in mind on
4:43
So the device itself, you have a glass front, and this is the only glass part of it right here
4:50
And then you have plastic bag. aluminum frame and plastic inside because of the displays they need to fold so they're plastic
4:59
And then you also have, as you can see this circular camera, this is the only camera, front camera that you have
5:07
and also inside you have another one, this tiny little one right here in that notch
5:15
So just to give that in perspective this is a 5 megapixel camera
5:21
I'll repeat that. That's a 5 megapixel camera in 2020. This device was released in 2020 and exactly, I think, February of 2020
5:35
So a couple months ago, not too long ago. And this is a 16 megapixel camera
5:42
So your main pixel shooter is 16 megapixel and the inside or the selfie is a 5
5:48
this is just utter garbage and also to keep to well add salt to the injury none of
5:56
these cameras take good photos after spending one and a half thousand dollars I
6:01
would expect at least one of them takes respectable photos but nope they don't
6:07
so apart from the garter trochish cameras which I'll showcase later on as
6:13
well taking a couple of photos maybe you have this this So you double top it to have just an ambient display
6:23
So it shows you notifications. It also reacts to movement. So if you, for instance, swipe your hand, hopefully it will
6:31
I guess now it won't because I'm literally in front of it, so it always detects movement
6:35
But normally if it would be laying on the floor, or not a floor, what am I saying, on a table like so
6:40
and you hover your hand, it will light up. But because like I said, I'm always moving right now
6:46
it just ignores it. but also you can swipe it up it will unlock it as you can see as some oh this is a
6:56
photo I believe from right there someone's look it from work so yeah I have a
7:01
display and this is fully colored display obviously it's an Amulet display
7:07
then you can also pull down the notification panel right here and that's
7:13
about all you can do I have access to several toggles nothing mind-blowing right here, Bluetooth Wi-Fi, hotspot, you can't really see what it is
7:23
That razor logo that you have in the middle is peelable. I just don't want to peel it, the phone is going back, so yeah
7:29
So you could peel it off and have a normal, unobstracted view. You also have a flashlight and the metal one adds a camera, so that is how you would launch the main pixel camera, the 16-1, in a selfie mode I would say
7:44
So when you turn that on, as you can see, there I am. So that's a way that you can launch this
7:51
And you can just top the X to leave it. Now you do not have the access to Android operating system from here
7:57
You do have to open it up, which is a shame. It might be a super small screen
8:02
but then it would have been nice to have that ability. But you do not
8:09
So the farthest you can go with this display is when you get notifications
8:13
and the ambient display the black and white one that is visible when the device is locked
8:20
like, oops, so when the device is locked and you tap on it
8:25
In this mode, you will have buttons on the bottom if you have notifications and you can just drag your finger over them
8:31
and it will show you brief revocation of, for instance, messages and stuff like that
8:35
You can actually access the messages and read them from here in this ambient display mode
8:40
So also when you see the device when it's folded you have the camera
8:49
You also apart from the main pixel shooter it does have a depth of field
8:54
It a more what the name time of light sensor It a 3d depth sensor which is actually not visible right here I can barely see it in the light so I assume on the camera it probably won be visible at all
9:09
But it's like, I believe, right here. So we have that and that just basically calculates the depth or distance between objects
9:19
I also have a loudspeaker microphone right here, the tiny little dot, dual tone LED flash
9:25
and this thing right here is your fingerprint sensor because of the fact that you don't
9:31
you don't have under display the plastic displays don't really support the
9:38
fingerprint sensors and probably would be even harder based on the fact that
9:41
when you fold this display it does as you can see slide a little bit under under
9:48
here so you can you can look at it it does slide
9:55
It looks kind of neat but then also I don't really see the purpose of this
10:01
One thing that I found that is really weird. And then normal devices like for instance, let me just set that on the side and show you
10:09
There's the Galaxy Fold. When you open it up, let me just lock it
10:15
You have a single crease in the middle as you can see right over here
10:19
Now when the devices are black like this the crease is fairly visible
10:24
do feel it under your finger and so do you feel it under here although the main
10:30
crease is not as visible right here because like start from the display
10:38
you can see that the display starts sinking basically it does this it doesn't
10:43
get folded normally like this for instance it starts making like this space
10:48
right here so as you can see right about here it starts sinking basically into the display and you can see it right over here it does have a lot of space
11:04
so you can see it bent down here and up here so it does this weird fold and because of that you actually
11:14
have uneven this display right here as you can see this crease and the disc crease right here and you
11:22
Also, on top of that, do feel it when dragging your finger over the display
11:27
because this part, I believe, kind of bends when you start folding it for the display to just kind of fold like this
11:34
Normally, this is right now flat almost, apart from the uneven feel
11:40
But when you fold it down, it does go down. So it's not flat anymore
11:46
So I assume that why you have two creases right now. You don't have as defined crease in the middle
11:52
it's still there. As you can see by the light that should be straight just as a comparison
11:59
how this looks like to the front. This is how this should look like. So as you can see
12:08
the crease is there and the display is super like wobbly because of it. Personally I think
12:16
just a single crease is better. It's not as visible in direct view when the display is
12:21
turned on but because right here they started doing some weird stuff you don't feel the display
12:30
isn't smooth when you're dragging your finger you feel like some unevenness which does feel a
12:35
little bit jarring to me it might be just me I used to flat displays anyway just got a glass
12:41
one so these foldable ones are fairly new to me although I have tried almost every
12:47
foldable display at the moment apart from the mate X so I would say I do have a little bit of experience with them and
12:57
This in my opinion is a little bit of the poorest design the coolest concept of the forest design
13:04
I was really hoping for this to be nice also another thing that is
13:10
well really not too good about this you have the hinges right here
13:16
You can basically see the gears right right over here where in this cup kind of ends you
13:21
have gears. Hopefully I'm not really sure if they're visible. It might be really hard to
13:28
show. Let me try to do it a different way. I have a super macro lens. Let's just
13:37
launch a camera and go to maybe this way I can show the gears
13:52
Give me a second, trying to capture it in actual light
14:02
There we go. I think this will work. So let me just set that to the side
14:15
And you can see it right over here. so you do have some gears that are visible right here and because they are visible
14:30
they do allow dirt to get in there and once it gets in there when you start
14:38
closing it up it will start making weird like rubbing noises kind of like a
14:44
out-assum or compared to fingernails crashing on a chalkboard but this isn't the
14:51
only device that will have that problem. Almost every other foldable device does this the same thing. If you get sent in there it's going to be unbearable
14:59
sound when you're trying to open it. The only problem with here that I have
15:06
all the other devices when being folded they just fold. The display is
15:12
basically protected here when you start folding it. Let me just show it off. It
15:18
starts lifting up in the beginning. So you have the moment And right about now where you actually have a gap between the display and the phone itself
15:28
And now, anything can get in there, small enough. If you try to close it, it will damage the display permanently
15:40
So the design of the display kind of coming out a little bit is, in my opinion, not very thought out
15:48
And probably would explain why the displays don't last very very. long. From what I've seen, this is the only foldable display that basically breaks by
15:58
normal usage. So you might not want to take care of it. I'll try to be gentle and
16:07
stuff and just by simply using it, it will break over time, which is a shame. So going back
16:16
to the specs of the device because it kind of stops there. The main display right here, the inside
16:21
one is a 6.2 inch with a resolution of 876 by 2142. So again display resolution
16:32
abysmal. Now I would like to see high resolution but only and solely because of
16:42
the price like that it comes in but personally speaking I'm not really a connoisseur of
16:50
resolutions I don't really care if I have 4k 8k on my phone I'm okay with 1080p so
16:58
this is not this is not really a fact that it the display is unclear stuff like
17:03
that it's more I would say based on the price tag that you pay and the display
17:07
itself is just and what comes on to screen-to-body ratio probably because of
17:13
those huge chin right here and the top of the device this is only a 70.2
17:20
percent screen to body ratio so it doesn't really do anything like mind-blowing in terms of
17:28
nevelating the bezels then apart from that the device itself comes with the 128 gigabytes
17:37
built-in storage and 6 gigabytes of RAM and now both of these are in my opinion just fine in terms of
17:44
a normal phone in terms of a device that costs 1,500 dollars this costing basically 500 more and coming with the wireless headphones
17:59
is a default this thing has twice more RAM 12 gigs and 500 gigs of storage So not really sure what is happening here
18:13
The price isn't that much lower and yet it has specs that are outdated in my opinion and just not very acceptable
18:23
On top of that, it does not have, I believe, expendable storage
18:28
So that's another minus. 120 gigs that you get will be the only thing that you'll have
18:34
Although keep in mind I might be wrong I don't actually have a way to check it at the moment I think
18:39
unless I will find a pen which I'm looking for at this specific time
18:44
just so I can give you a certain answer that it won't be able to do something
18:53
but I can seem to find a pen. It's like that I didn't come with it. Not sure if this device doesn't come with a pen or what
19:06
It appears that you don't even get the SIM pin
19:20
So that's nice. First device that I encountered that didn't actually come with a SIM pin
19:27
unless I'm just blind, which is also a a possibility but I'll empty out the entire case. As you can see nothing in here. This is fully
19:36
empty. Between the papers there is nothing. Between all headphones obviously nothing. So yeah it looks
19:45
like it didn't come with a simpin. So that's nice. So I can't even check if it has a SD card slot
19:55
unless it doesn't even have a... Unless it only takes a... E-sim or something like this
20:05
So I actually don't see anywhere where I could put in a SIM card. Hmm
20:13
Yeah, it might not need it. So... because I don't see a place for a SIM card
20:19
I believe it might have an ESIM, and that's also not having the SIM trade
20:24
or not simply SD tray. So yeah, 128 gigs is all you get
20:29
And you don't actually have a higher model of it that it can have more storage
20:34
Now on top of that, the device comes with a Snobragon 710
20:38
so it's not even the highest rated Snapdragon of this generation. For instance, this comes with a Snobragon 855
20:49
which is, at the time, I believe, almost the best one. At the moment there is only 8 55 plus that is better so this
21:00
is about a plus behind. This is an entire step down from the 8 series I would say
21:08
or 800 so just for a price that I that is unacceptable in my opinion and again
21:16
one of the flaws of the device the battery itself is nothing mind-blowing
21:22
say 2,510 millimetps. It does hold well, just as basically any other device
21:31
It might not be as big, but you don't actually have to light up the display itself to
21:36
view the phone, as you normally do with any other device. So here you can use the front display, which does save up battery
21:44
You don't do so much on-screen time because of it. And also because it's an Ammullet display, it's not a very..
21:52
phone does have them or OLED. The blacks are super deep. They're basically turned off in a way
21:59
and that's also a consumless battery. So in this term you don't really need that big of a battery
22:05
and adding a bigger battery would increase the bulk of the device. And the bulk of the device
22:12
is one of the things that caught me of guard actually. So as you can see the phone itself isn't
22:18
really thick or big. Just as an example, I'll bring my phone so this is the mate 20 pro a little bit beat up as you can see
22:30
this record that so if we compare these still just try to get them both in my
22:38
camera it is a tiny bit taller with the chin being a little bit hefty but in terms
22:46
of thickness I would say it's about the same thickness might be a tiny bit
22:50
thicker but the weight of this device is actually significant now when you get
22:57
this device first time in the hand it feels like it's small and wouldn't weigh much
23:02
especially that only this is the glass front but this thing actually has some
23:07
weight to it which which was really weird exactly it weighs 205 grams so it did
23:16
it does feel a little bit heavy even though it doesn't look like
23:20
it should be if that makes sense you have the expectation for this to be light in a way and it is not and
23:29
apart from that moving on with the specifications when you close the device itself you have this display
23:35
which is like i said the also all-led all that 16 million colors and all that stuff so this is a 2.7
23:43
end display with a resolution of 600 by 800 now you don't get to do much on this display so i would say
23:49
that the resolution and the size isn't necessarily that important. I think you can actually achieve more on a smartwatch than you can on this display
24:00
Antrag already talked about the front camera. So going into inside of the device, you have the inside selfie camera right behind, right over here
24:14
I don't think it's really visible. You can see that circle right over here
24:22
That is the camera. So that's the 5 megapixel camera that can shoot max at 1080p at 30 frames
24:30
And just as a also back one, the back one shoots at 4K 30 frames and 180p 60
24:39
Although both of them are not necessarily the greatest experience, they're kind of chubby and
24:44
the video isn't really holding up in 60 frames. not as smooth as in my opinion it should be. It does have stutters which might be because of
24:54
the processor or some other case. I don't know actually how it exactly works but the fact is it's
25:00
not smooth as I would like it and the device is not packed with stuff and it's not like there's
25:04
a million apps running in the background. I just can't keep up. This device is as you can see almost
25:09
at the moment it does have a couple of stuff but in normal circumstances it was freshly set up and
25:16
was unable to keep the video going and smooth 60 frames. Then, apart from that, you don't have wireless charging
25:27
Again, in my opinion, a drawback. Not a fan of it. I don't really use it
25:33
But for this price, I'd like to see it. No UFS storage, which is the equivalent of like a PC version of SSD disk
25:44
It just allows you to quickly transfer data and store, save on it
25:49
It's just blazing fast in this case. So this is using the normal, the normal flush storage
25:55
which isn't the greatest one, and it's basically the thing that phones have been using for quite some time now
26:02
Nowadays, phones are starting to use the UFS storage, and it is better in every way
26:11
And just going back again, 512 gigabytes of UFS storage default. So again another leg out that it has over this one
26:25
And apart from that I don't hace much to say about it
26:31
Now I'll go over a brief look on the device we can see how it looks like from every angle
26:37
So we've been seeing this front for quite a while. The fingerprint sensor like I said folds in
26:43
and you have a notch right here so you have a notch when you fold it you have
26:54
the screen right here shows you just general information camera flashes sensors
27:00
microphone then you flip it over nothing really here apart from the marking of Motorola razor then here you have just a hinge as you can see when you open it up it does hold hide so it kind of hides it away when you fold it
27:18
and then at the bottom this weirdly weird mesh mesh thing is just a speaker
27:27
grill and in a middle you have a charging port type C apart from that
27:34
I don't think there's much more to say about the device. You have the volume rackers also on the side right here
27:41
And they're super small, honestly. Power key is kind of like graved so you can actually feel it
27:49
And then you have the two super small volume rockers next to it. And that's about it on all the sides
27:59
So yeah. Now also one thing that I'll maybe try to show if I start talking for a moment
28:08
maybe the microphone will pick it up. Not sure if that was hearable on the video hopefully
28:19
in the editing it won't get completely noise cancelled but when you open it up
28:25
just straight up a new device you can hear the screen fold in a way and also the hinges are already kind of squeaking a little bit
28:35
which isn't something that I would like to hear from a device that costs fifteen hundred dollars and supposed to be premium and yeah now also
28:49
another thing that I'll point out if you ever own the previous Motorola razor the
28:54
throwback original one I probably also were opening up the display like
28:59
this with your fingers straight on the display here I wouldn't want to do that
29:05
because the display is so brittle that you could use your fingernail to to basically
29:11
mark it scuff it's a plastic and if you press your fingernail hard enough onto it
29:18
it will deform and it will stay like that also if you press something sharper
29:22
onto it if for instance your key might get in between when you rod it or somehow in your packet it gets in between it could permanently
29:29
damage the display itself. So it is a really fragile display if we're comparing it to
29:39
current day Gorilla Glass phones that do withstand a little bit of abuse there. This will not
29:48
withstand almost any kind of scratches and anything so just a just a shame maybe the
29:54
next generation of foldable displays will be better. But how I will say that the Lumultority of this display isn't due to Motorola
30:06
It's just the foldable display itself. They don't really have any other way of doing it apart from being plastic
30:14
There's no at the moment foldable glass or anything like that. So these displays are super soft comparing to a normal glass
30:23
But yeah. This would be the Motorola Razor, which I'm not a fan of it
30:29
and hopefully you can understand why based on everything that I talked about
30:36
I would go for something different in personal opinion if I want to get a foldable phone
30:43
I'll go with something like a Galaxy Fold even though it's more expensive
30:47
it does feel more premium this device would be last on my shelf
30:52
or last on my mind and if you're not set on wanting a foldable
30:58
you were just thinking about it, I would actually stay away from at this moment from majority of the foldable phones because of the fact that they're not very durable and they have a lot of things to iron out in the design. It does feel like a first generation product and every term of every foldable device. And probably already seen all those headlines online with, for instance, Galaxy folds, people peeling off the fulfillment on that
31:28
display and display braking, razors just flat out breaking. The thing that I actually haven't seen
31:35
much about was the Maid X yet and the Z-Flip, which are two different devices, and the only
31:42
device that I haven't tried at the moment is the Maid X. So I do have a little bit of overview of
31:49
like the different devices, how they feel and how old are they work. And yeah, oh, oh, almost
31:57
we got camera test. So let's just set it onto something. So we have some kind of..
32:06
There we go, this can work. Slap my prop on here. You can see it's a nice shark there
32:15
I'm going to launch camera. And try to capture a decent photo with it
32:27
I'll move it back because I think it's too close. So number one that I can see, that doesn't really do good with lighting
32:44
You can see it, the photo actually came out decent, but the light itself, the blacks are completely gone
32:54
So as you can see, for instance right here, this is just nonexistent
33:02
Well, if you try to get a darker spot, it blows out the background it looks like
33:12
So yeah, the background is super blown out, doesn't know how to deal with light really well
33:19
And this is the only main pixel shooter, so this is already doing a terrible job
33:24
in terms of lighting. In terms of high quality pictures, it doesn't take them at all, I would say
33:31
They come out blurry from my experience. I can try to get it right here off the camera
33:36
Just a quick one. Trying to make it as steady as possible. So..
33:47
So you can see, hopefully you can see, hopefully you can see but this you just bring up the brightness this image is already grainy which is
34:01
just super weird to me it's like it's super dark in here but yeah the photo is
34:06
grainy it picked up a detail right here almost it's still blur I don't really
34:16
see much grain here but it's just not sharp and as you can see the further
34:22
you go from from this point it just just becomes grainy and just weird
34:29
So the photos on here are most certainly not the reason you would get the phone for
34:36
But as you can see, that would be the last thing that I almost forget
34:42
So yeah. Now, just so I don't sound like I'm trashing this device all the way
34:49
I do believe this was a nice attempt at the device. really hope that they would have done a good job
34:57
There's a couple parts of it that critically, I believe, were just completely missed
35:04
You're making a flagship device that has specs that are on a mid-range phone
35:10
for basically twice, if not more, of the price of a mid-range device
35:16
So that's why I am super critical of it. The design app is super close to my heart
35:22
I lived in the time that the first Motorola Razor came out and the moment I saw this one
35:27
it did spark a light in my heart, hoping that it would be good
35:33
But at the end of the day, the device just didn't really hold up to the expectations that I had
35:40
maybe from the original Razor one. But other than that, I just hope that in the future they will make a improved version of this
35:51
that will hold up to, I guess, what probably majority of us
35:55
were hoping this could be. So, yeah, if you found this very helpful
