WIRED It's compact! Flip open to answer calls; close to end one. External display is more useful. Good performance. Supports wireless charging and NFC. TIRED Cameras and battery life fall short. Screen could be brighter. And more.
. It looks cleaner and is more functional—the external display is the largest you'll find on a flip smartphone—but the design closely resembles its peers. The saving grace is the ruby color and the vegan leather back. It feels luxe and also keeps the phone from sliding around a desk.The front 3.6-inch OLED screen is also what makes this flip special.
You can launch all your apps on this external screen and expand them to take up the whole space, but naturally, things are still cramped. I only found a few apps useful on this screen, like YouTube Music to choose another song, Google Home to control my smart home devices, and even Reddit and Twitter to kill time when I didn't want to open the phone.
Most of the time I stuck to the external screen to keep an eye on the weather and my calendar, not to mention my notifications. I replied to a few messages here and there, but the keyboard takes up the whole screen and feels clunky to use. When you do open up the Razr+, you can seamlessly continue using those apps on the bigger screen. You can also choose what apps stay open on the small screen when you close it up.
The best part of the external display is when you use it with the camera. Twist the phone twice to launch the camera app and you can take high-quality selfies with the superior 12-megapixel primary camera instead of the 32-MP selfie camera on the inside. The screen acts as a viewfinder. Even better, when you unfold the Razr+ and launch the camera app, the person you're photographing can see a preview of themselves on the exterior screen.
