Engadget Logo Enter Japanese version of Motorola Razr 5G Review Why I thought "folding iPhone will definitely come out"

A Fol Double smartphone that can bend the screen and fold it.In Japan, Samsung's Galaxy Fold, Z Fold 2 5g, Galaxy Z Flip and Z Flip 5g were sold, but Motorola followed.

The company and SoftBank today (March 4, 2021) will release Motorola Razr 5G in late March, and for details such as specifications, you will see the following articles, and here is the Impression that touched on the actual machine.I would like to deliver from another point of view.

Motorola Razr 5G is a foldable folding smartphone that folds vertically as the Galaxy Z Flip in Samsung.

Gorgeous texture

The body color is Polished Graphite.In global, gold -based Blush Gold and silver Liquid Mercury are sold.

When you hold it in your hand, the position of the fingerprint authentication is slightly lower, so it may be difficult for some people to use it.Therefore, I think it is better to use it with face authentication.Face authentication corresponds to both the main display closed and open.After face authentication, it can be set to fly the lock screen, so it can be opened and used immediately, so it is very convenient.However, since it is unlocked by face authentication even when close, it is missed to make an error operation or notification (it can display the notification content only when tapped when locked), so the behavior of face authentication at the time of opening and when close.I felt it would be more convenient if I could set it individually (expecting the update).

Moderate size

I will compare it with a popular model of 6 inches in the open state.

In terms of the size of the exterior, the iPhone 12 Pro Max is closer.

Quick view display customization is fun

In a 2.7 -inch quick view display, you can display incoming calls and notifications, and perform media playback operations, but that's it.Razr 5G allows you to customize even deeper by allowing you to start any apps individually.

Because it is 800 x 600 dots, there is a higher possibility that it cannot be used properly even if it can be executed, but it would be fun for geeks who like to try various things.

Although it is not compatible with Osaifu -Keitai, it can be settled without opening by displaying the barcode of PayPay.If you look at it, it may be impossible to say that it is the same as Osaifu -Keitai.

Each app that has been allowed to run on a quick view display can be turned on even if it is closed.For example, you can close the pattern on the main screen of YouTube or Netflix videos on the main screen and continue to play with your palms.Depending on the app, the background playback must be allowed in the app settings.

The speakers are monaural even when open, so it is a cinema vision aspect ratio, but in terms of powerful video experiences in both resolutions, it seems that Xperia has somehow.

I felt that Fol Double would be a high -end smartphone de facto standard

I haven't tried the camera function, so I plan to use it for a longer time, but I personally write it honestly that I fell in love with it in an instant.

The folding screen is not uncomfortable at all, and the simplicity of carrying it in half the large screen may have shown an orthodox path to the evolution of high -end smartphones, which are increasingly growing.It is said that Samsung has already been proven in Z Flip, but the design and texture are nice (only those who understand it can be understood).

There are still lefto -Keitai, no contact charging, waterproofing, etc., but it is a problem that time is solved, and as you know, this field is a daily step.Although it is rumored frequently, I don't think Apple and Sony will not incorporate the mature Fol double technology.I don't think folding iPhone can do such detailed customizations for better or worse.

Razr 5G is a support for a career model (with SIM lock) by SoftBank, which is a real 99,000 yen (198,000 yen in lump), a SIM -free model from 179,800 yen, Moto Store, Hikari TV Shopping,+++++.It is decided to be handled by Style, e-Trend, Yodobashi Camera, Bic Camera, IIJmio, QTMOBILE, etc.It's still expensive, but if you're a smartphone -loving geek, I think it's an inevitable terminal.
