Motorola Razr 5G: full unboxing By CNET

Look at the size of this box, are they trying to marry me or what I bet there's a wedding cake in here: yeah. Okay, sorry about the bad jokes, but seriously this box is insane um. I think this is actually the reviewer's kit box. So, let's open it up, oh and the first thing I'm noticing is- I don't need to open it up because it's one of those like self-opening boxes. So let's do it ready, set Jurassic Park. Music, that's a pretty cool box, but this is the actual box.

The new Motorola racer comes in. Let me get this out of the way here. Let's put that off to the side and yeah, it actually looks just like the box that the version that came out in February came in. It's got that really cool vertical stance. I think I made this joke back in February.

It looks a bit like a coffee grinder. Something tells me what's in here is better than coffee, but what's neat is you can actually see the phone through the top of the case without even opening it? Ah, all right, let's try this ready set here. Is the brand-new version of the Motorola racer folding phone? Oh wow, look at that! That's the box there, and I'm going to move this out of the way we don't need it right now got the razor on the front part there and then on the back side. We have a little case with the accessories. Something that Motorola is really excited about with this box is that you could actually keep it, and you can put the Motorola razor into the stand, and we play music.

It helps amplify it a bit how many phone boxes do you have that do that? Okay? So let's start with this case here, it's the accessory case also looks like a high-end sun glass case all right and there's this really cool metal tag here with the word razor on it. If I open it up there we go, you can see, there's some documentation on the inside there and a bunch of little accessory things that we need. So, let's take a look at those all right see here, let's start with the documentation, let's see what is. This is a little how to put a sim card in your racer phone, and then we have here a legal safety and regulations guide. We don't need that, and then we have here a Motorola, racer kind of quick start guide.

What's neat about this is there's not only a lot of physical improvements to hardware, but some also feature improvements. Like the quick view display, you can put apps on that now, all right, let's jump in accessory, but before we do, we got to acknowledge the amazing sun beam. That's hitting me and the wetting box here. Next we have a wall charger here all right, and this has an USB a port on that wall, charger cool, and it does support turbocharging. We also have a sim card tool, so you can install your sim card, but also a lot of people might not know this that the Motorola racer actually can support ENIM as well, so you can actually have dual sims one of physical card and one in e7.

Also, it does have 5g, so you can get that all right. We have a charging cable here, it's USB to USA awesome and last but not least, we have a dongle how about that. So we have an USB two headphone jack dolls, because there is no headphone jack built into the razor yeah. You know that's okay and that's it. The little accessory box is officially empty, so see if I can close it all up there we go, but let's get on to the main event enough of my jobber jabber.

Here, let's get on to the brand new Motorola raze rum, I'm going to take it out of the box here. Let's just put our acoustical stand over here for now. Oh, we got a little peel. Oh here, I'll save this okay, not a big sound there, but that's the quick view display on the front or outside this is the main screen it has a factory Motorola screen peel on it. It says warning, do not apply a screen protector as it will damage the display, so we're going to peel this off.

Now, let's see oh there we go be very quiet. Let's take a listen come on. We have a foldable phone. I have to fold it. Let's do it.

Are you ready a couple first impressions here? This feels solid. This feels nice um, not to say that the first one did not, but I think the big difference is the frame of this is made from aluminum and the back is glass versus that composite. So it feels nice and premium in the hand the um- I don't know the hinge here just seems like it almost has like a shoulder pads or something on it, which is kind of cool um. I noticed, like it kind of gives me a place for my thumb and index finger to go, which is really neat and uh. Let's try to one hand open it.

You guys ready. Oh yeah, that's seen if I can do it left-handed without breaking anything. Okay, so um, it's really easy to open one-handed. The first one was pretty easy. You have to give it a nice solid, wrist, whip uh, but this is nice yeah and I think part of that is the tapered gens.

So something I noticed too is the fingerprint center that was on the front has now moved to the back. I think that would be kind of cool. Let me see when you have your in your hands here. Your finger goes basically right there. It feels pretty comfortable.

If you look at it here. The gap is fully closed, so that that's one of the primary differences between something like this and the Galaxy Z flip on the front. There's a different camera. Now, the first Motorola that came out February, the camera on it almost looked like an Audi belly button. I actually thought it looked pretty cool the way they integrated it.

But this new camera is supposed to be better spec. It has 48 megapixels, it has quad pixel binning, so it means you're going to get images with low image, noise and uh. In, like that medium light situation, your images will be maybe a little brighter, which will be great on the first Motorola razor. The buttons were all on the right side, so you had the volume rocker and the power button. Here I got the volume rocker on the right side and on the left side I have the power button, so that'll be helpful.

I can't tell you I agree. I had it like um, I don't know.10 days almost two weeks, it was very confusing still in my muscle memory to remember which button was which, because they were all really close together too, so this should make it much easier. So, let's turn this on all right. Get there cool got the Motorola logo on the internal display, but also the external display the unboxing is over. But if you want more about this Motorola racer there's some great news and that's because of time deadlines and pre-recorded video.

You can actually watch my first look, video all about the Motorola racer right now. In fact, if you're on YouTube is probably the one right next to this one, and I go much more in depth about the Motorola racer, all the new changes and the differences between it and the one that came out in February.
