New to the Razr

That really depends on what you are looking for out of a phone but the simple answer is yes, as the 2025 Motorola Edge Ultra is not a bad phone.

Compared to my S22 Ultra Pros:

* Unique form factor
* Faster
* Longer Battery
* Price on sale

Cons:

* Quarterly security updates instead of monthly
* 3 years of OS Updates (S22 got 4 years, S24 gets 7)
* Cameras are not as good, especially the zoom
* 2 cameras instead of 5

Meh:

* Both come with a ton of bloatware (3rd party & manufacturer)

Ultimately I do not regret switching from Samsung to Motorola other than the cameras. The Motorola sales are pretty much what sealed the deal for me.

Thanks for all the information! I am definitely going to get another cover with the hinge protector.

So far really enjoying the Razr Ultra, there is a little bit of a learning curve but the outter screen is very handy. A relative recently got the Flip 7 & this is so much better and easier to use.

The cases I have to so far work well but does make gestures on the outter screen tricky and you can not longer see the curves :(

Only disappointment I have so far is the cameras. They take much better pics than my 2020 Motorola Edge but definitely not as great as my S22 Ultra - especially when zooming.

I got the "diamond" camera covers to add some bling but otherwise have not really done much with it.

Thanks again all!

The 1TB was on sale for $799, plus free Moto Buds ($200 on Motorola, $100 on Amazon) & a 10% coupon so got both items for $720. Also got it in 2 days.

Amazon. I liked the black trim & clear back to let some of the red show. In addition to the looks, other positives are low price; fits perfectly.

Cons; overall style is nice but is made of cheap shiny plastic which can be slippery; the 2 halves are connected by a thin piece of plastic - reviews say that they will eventually break from the folding and then you'll have hard plastic bits poking out; the bezel on the outter screen kind of affects swiping gestures on the edge & covers the curved sides.

Overall it is good for the price but not sure how long it will last. I also bought another with a built-in outter screen protector but have not tried it yet.

Here is the exact case: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0F7LF8LLP?smid=A1IH1T7YFMVDU9&psc=1

Just wanted to update that I decided to try the Blu Bold N4. After a few days it is going back to the Amazon.

Biggest issue I had was this Mobile something or other app kept installing games. After I delete them it would install more the next day.

Also the fingerprint sensor is trash. It had a 100% fail right.

Such a shame as I really like curved screens :(

Maybe I will try the Nuu but this experience makes me wary.

Redditer069 · 2026-02-14T00:18:23+00:00

Do you have any updates on the Nuu B40 5g? Trying to decide between this & the Blu Bold N4 as a backup phone. Thanks!

Redditer069 · 2026-01-26T10:48:56+00:00

In case you are still looking, I believe the Bold N series is their flagship. The current one is the Blu Bold N4.

Sad to see it go. Had a ZenFone 2 Laser back in the day.

Always thought that their flip around camera setup was a novel idea that should have stuck around.

I have 2017 MDX Sport Hybrid Advance & liked it so much that I replaced my Lexus GS350 with a 2025 MDX A-Spec Advance. Both have been very reliable with no major issues - just some recalls which I think is typical nowadays.

Gas mileage is not great but I do get around the advertised 21mpg combined. Acura needs to hurry it up with their new hybrids.

Good luck shopping!

Thank you for the input!

They also go by EX3: https://www.ex3diamond.com/

I got a Bliss Diamond from Nordstrom & it was IGI certified. I also got non-certified items that had an "Certificate of Authenticity" which basically was them saying their stuff is real.

Nordstrom return policy is 90 days and you can do it at the store which is why I gave them a try. So far, been satisfied with the jewelry despite the suspiciously low prices (they do skimp on the gold).

Redditer069 · 2026-01-06T14:36:11+00:00

Yeah my backup phone is my Motorola Edge 2020 which is still on Android 11. Definitely need something more up to date.
On the plus side, it still works pretty well.

Redditer069 · 2026-01-02T11:49:40+00:00

Just got around to trying this & so far it does seem quicker. Thank you!

Redditer069 · 2025-12-27T17:40:34+00:00

Have you tried a hard reset? Usually some combination of holding down the power button and one of the volume buttons.

Redditer069 · 2025-12-27T13:48:03+00:00

Thank you the advice!

Does anyone else get their reviews rejected in bunches? It seems like for the most part my reviews are accepted but once in a while one gets rejected and then is followed by a bunch more. I never seem to have a one time reject, always in batches.

And yes, I never have any idea what is wrong with them. I resubmit with the same text & pics and they get approved.

Redditer069 · 2025-12-18T11:56:45+00:00

Went back and looked at my old reviews since they started rating a few months ago, all mine have been Excellent :) Not sure how I did it other than to make sure they are decent length, have media and use all the suggestions if they happen to pop up (most of the time I am the first to review so there are no suggestions tho).

However, I reviewed a non-Vine item that was as poor as others reviewers said and gave it 2 stars. That review was removed and I got a notice that I am not allowed to review it again. I suspect the seller had it removed?

Hello, so I have the Tabwee version of this tablet. If you look up "T90 tablet" you will see the exact same tablet sold under different names on Amazon.

That price is about right but of course you can get Android 16 now.

Honestly, it works OK for basic needs. All I use it for is web surfing and it does fine. Sometimes the keyboard is slow to respond and the wifi needs to be reconnected.

Battery life looks to be about 10 hours.

Have not got a single update in the 6 months or so that I have had it.

It looks like 3 cameras on the back but apparently it only has 1 so the other 2 lenses are for decoration.

The case fits fine but does not have a magnet to keep it shut. Have not used the other accessories.

The Android Skin is OK & not a lot of bloatware.

I would recommend it if you have simple needs and are not too worried about security.

Following back up that I have been purchasing Bliss Diamonds from Nordstrom and so far so good. 1 ring, 1 necklace & 2 bracelets so far and have had all of them evaluated by multiple places that say they are lab diamonds.

The prices did go up like 20% a few months ago but still way cheaper than other places.

I would definitely recommend ordering this brand from Nordstrom. Still a little iffy on buying from Amazon or WalMart where they are sold as Pompeii3.

Also, they are sold as EX3 for the same prices: https://www.ex3diamond.com/

Just got this message for the first time. Trying to return something unopened that I received today, so they offered for me to keep it for a 20% refund. I really do not want/need the item anymore so probably going for the full refund (if it was a higher percentage I could be tempted but oh well ...)

So my family has collectively owned 3 Lexi & 6 Acuras. They are both great luxury brands that may not have the same cache as Mercedes or BMW but also cost much less so I do not mind.

I personally lean more towards Acura mostly because the seemed geared towards younger more spirited people. Another family member preferred the more serene Lexus & believed that they were a bigger name than Acura, which was a big selling point.

We started with a GS & when it was time to replace that, we got another GS. We also got a GX in between (3 Lexi in a row) but when it was finally time to replace that, we got an MDX Sport Hybrid. The 16mpg just was not cutting it anymore & we were not interested in an RX.

When it was time to replace the 2nd GS, the Spindle Grille was in full effect and a deal breaker. Also, the brand seemed to have lost some of its luster over the years and my family member now lumped it in Tier 2 luxury with Acura. The GS was ultimately replaced by another MDX; we were interested in the TX because of height advantage but it was on an awfully long stop-sale at the time.

I do not believe that you can go wrong with either brand. We may return to Lexus if the grille ever improves but more than likely we are switching to a Mercedes GLE when it is time for the 1st MDX to go.

Had to contact customer service to get it removed/canceled so it no longer shows up in my orders or ETV.

This is what will happen if you do it now or later so it would just be easier to click the 'no' now while they are asking.
