Anonymous, 13 Jun 2023Nice joke. Show me one motorola phone with its 3rd OS upgrade. Of course you can't. ... morebecause they started to offer 3 year software updates in 2022 so obviously there's no way to prove it. We'll have to wait until 2025 to find out.

Also the cover screen uses less battery and helps to take better selfies.

        I like samsung's implementation better, it will have better software features and optimizations than moto.

          Even 2022 Z Flip4 is way better than any 2023 mediocre foldable from garbage motorola.

              Every Android manufacturer could make promise, but only Samsung delivers.

              Motorola = comedy mediocre brand.

                Other than looking good, what is the point of a bigger outer screen? I see the utility for a Fold style device but for the Flip, it's completely useless isn't it?

                  "no IP rating"
                  I won't debate about this at all. I know everyone will always bring this phone to dive everyday.

                  "a 2021 8Gen1 chip"
                  Razr 40U uses 2022 8+ Gen 1 btw which is power efficient btw, not the 8 Gen 1 with no plus.

                  "unoptimized cover screen"
                  This is the biggest joke I've ever seen. Bro thinks Samsung is the only company that cares about software optimization.

                  "only 1 OS upgrade"
                  It got at least 3 OS upgrades btw.

                          Even modern TV shows post-2000s, the aspect ratio is 16:9 or even wider than that. That's why some don't like the Oppo Find N's very close to a square aspect ratio. Too much black bars at the top and bottom.

                          I'm aware of all of this because I watch videos from the cover displays of my Razr 5G and Flip 3. The Flip 3's is actually better for widescreen but it's tiny. The Razr 5G is closer to 4:3. Perfect for classic sitcoms.

                          The Razr 40 Ultra's is perfect for 4:3 content like TV shows and retro games prior to the 2000s. There are some PS2 and GameCube games in that wider aspect ratio but most are still 4:3.

                              The fact that companies couldn’t care any less any the plastic scratcheable screen says a lot about foldables

                                  The best outer displays for foldables comes from the book-style like the Find N and Pixel Fold. It's like using it like a slab. No need to keep opening it. You just need to put up with the higher price and weight.

                                  Try typing from a square-shaped cover display. The keyboard will take up most of the screen because on a slab, it will take up like the bottom half of the display. Phone apps are not built for a square format. You either view a rectangle horizontally or vertically. Not a square.
