Aramid case arrived.
- Phone can fully close (no issue)
- Thickness is the same as the stock Razr case
- Chose the back plate which shows the M logo and razr branding (you can buy the fully enclosed back). I did this so friends won't keep asking me what phone I am using. They always think it's a Galaxy Z Flip phone.

The case is great I bought one also just that the front one dont actually have a thicker lip to protect the front screen. Anyway come back to ones choice right

To be frank I think taobao will be cheaper, how much was it?
*
If possible can he shows the front view with that case too...as the current transparent case is protecting the front screen with it's extended height around the screen

Are you referring to the small display or big display? The small display is protected. The camera lens is not going above  the case.
If you are referring to the big 6.9 inch display, then this is EXACTLY what I am talking about. There should NOT be a thicker lip to protect the screen because the phone will NOT fully close if there is a gap (in this case, you are referring to the thicker lip of the case that you want to be there). It will STOP the case from fully closing.

Btw, I bought mine for RM90 including shipping.
*
Yup..we were referring to the protection for the front screen ...how it is compared with the transparent case that covers with the phone

Based on experience, Motorola only provides quarterly updates.
So the next will be this month (July).

It will even get less and less once new Moto flagship phones are released.

Any idea on how long that Motorola will support the OS and security updates for this phonem

Ignore whatever they promised. Look back at their edge series flagship, the update speed & schedule was terrible, no timeline whatsoever and seem like some bug never fix.

If os and security update is important to u then look somewhere else. Currently the update speed as per my understanding are as follow for Android:

Pixel > Sammy > bbk phone > xiaomi n many many else. The worst among flagship in term of updating is moto although they claim is stock bla bla bla.

Moto basically are selling u a cheap phone but then it come with tradeoff of poor support even for flagship range. Think twice before u pull the trigger.

The phone is great so far ....and I don't really care about that support at all as long as it is working ok. And so far, no major bugs at all

Fan will defend regardless of whatever reason. The support is basically none for moto, the price indeed was cheap for the hardware but the software part really.....

Anyhow everyone can just buy anything based on their own preference. Funny thing is, you will notice both moto china forum and global forum give consistent message on poor support, never fix bug, late update and some even complaint poor photo post processing despite the good hardware spec.

I personally think don't ever buy their flagship, their mid and low range even update faster than the flagship. Quite ridiculous but then their base for mid and low range is much bigger and hence that's the result from business perspective.

Moto was a good brand before but go down the hill once Lenovo take over. Lenovo just come to sell the device and not providing support. Basically what you pay is what you get 😂

Funny thing is you will notice it's same group of ppl that keep on promoting moto. Sometimes I wonder is a marketing company or not, look back at edge 30 ultra/x30 pro section in lowyat. It's basically death with low user base and poor support 🥲
*
Mind you..that I'm not a fan of moto phone at all and in fact, it is my first CN moto phone, and it has the best looking phone at the current market right now..IMHO. Say whatever u like, I'm buying this phone for it's compact and it's amazing look...

And who cares about the no of users here in Malaysia, it is not even sold here officially

Chill bros
This is a forum and everyone can express their thoughts .. let's go back to basics 😉

Anyway it is a good phone 😉

By the way...
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.androidhea...w-razr.html/amp

"Now that Motorola is more into the high-end market, they are upping their software update game. This year, with the new Motorola Razr and Razr+, both devices will get three years of Android upgrades. Which means these will get Android 14, 15 and 16. It will also get bi-monthly security update for the next four years. Now that’s not quite as good as the monthly updates that the Pixel gets, but for most security patches, bi-monthly is definitely good enough."

one of the reasons may also be because z flip 5 rumoured to be competitively priced (but crease is rumoured to still be more noticeable than 40 Ultra)
*
I read differently from various web sources that the new flip 5 will be priced more expensive than the previous flip 4.. and taking into a consideration of weak RM to US dollar, I will be not surprise for the price of flip 5

Sooo everyone got the Ultra, no one getting the regular 40? I've been debating to get the regular 40 from fastech, don't really need the big 2ndary screen and I suppose.. less powerful battery + bigger batt = better battery life?

But I am hesitating to switch from my Edge 30 Pro; of which I have almost no complaints on. Switching means I would downgrade the soc (although I am a casual user, no gaming etc), battery, charging speed, cameras, and I suppose practicality/durability? Considering I use my phone for work purposes as well. Also have to think of an excuse to give the missus at home as well lol 🤣

But I am a long time Moto user, and mostly wishes to change to Razr 40 due to being nostalgic using the Razr V3 during my uni days..

Opinions are welcome guys! I also have a few other things on my mind too, if current owners don't mind asking!
*
IMHO it's the most compact phone that I have ever owned ..and I believe as the lightest too as well

And btw ..u can have more idea about the standard version with the following link

Aahh darn, thank you for confirming my suspicions, would be a step back if I can't use Android Auto either, hrnnn

Not sure about.. changing the update channel stuff etc lol.

And for the current owners, can you comment on the display crease?

Initially my plan was just leave it unfolded during work etc, and only fold when I have to move around haha
*
The crease is barely visible for me...no complain at all

I see. Although still can be felt with fingers, aye? And what do you think about picture quality? While I know photography was never a strong point for foldables, and I reckon all modern smartphones produce generally good pictures, I can't help but wonder and looking forward to opinions from different users!
*
Frankly, I'm not qualified enough to comment about the picture quality as it is not one of my priorities for the phone....maybe someone else can provide better opinion about it

Maybe your general opinion, say compared to your previous phones? 😃

My other phone is s23 ultra..so u know what I mean
But frankly, both pictures r acceptable for me ..and again, I hardly take any pictures every day

Surprisingly, my RAZR is my main driver now... because of its portability and amazing looks..and still have 30% juice left at the end of day

So you have the flagship of flagships to compare 😅 but thank you for your feedback. I am surprised you're using the Razr for daily driver now, despite it's.. shortfalls? I mean you do have a S23U, don't you feel something.. lacking?

I've looked over at Singapore forums, and saw some got theirs from HK, and have Google and Play Store etc etc preloaded. More convenient I suppose..?
*
Lacking of what! As I hardly play mobile games and take pictures...I just like the compact body and something different..by the way..it is my first flip phones
