Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

Motorola razr V3 was fascinating as a student. This classic product that set off a wave of ultra-thin mobile phones, with an all-aluminum body, a cool flip shape and a cool sub-screen, as well as distinctive body lines like a blade, can be said to be an unavoidable topic when it comes to flip phones.

Times have changed, and with the general trend of the smartphone revolution, the veteran Blade V3 has gradually settled in the dusty memory, even if there is still light in his eyes when talking about it, but he cannot resist the generation gap that straddles two generations. However, today's moto Blade series is coming back in a new form of flip folding screen, and what we happen to get is the most mature razr 2022 so far. What new experience will it bring from razr V3 to razr 2022 Moto?

Appearance and design

Packaging has always been attached great importance to and emphasized by moto razr series. Compared with the previous generation of moto razr 5G dazzling technology packaging, this moto razr 2022 packaging style is more introverted and low-key, with a triangular prism shape replaced by a rectangle, and a dark gray coarse frosted texture on the surface, with the art word Logo of razr, the logo of Moto and the opening indication bar printed on the front.

Interestingly, both the razr artwork and the indicator bar are made of upper and lower or left-right symmetrical materials, that is, matte on one side and frosted on the other, suggesting that the product itself will be presented in a similar style. Product information and bar codes are also printed on the right side of the package. What we got this time is the version of Fengya Black Color matching, 12GB+512GB.

Open the package and the phone lies on top. The accessories in the box include a 33W charger, a USB-A TO C data cable, and a set of transparent hard protective cases of all-package bright surface material, which are much more environmentally friendly than the previous generation.

The beginning of the mobile phone body gives people the feeling of roundness, in fact, roundness is also a common design style of moto, another classic moto Z series is a very round feature of the straight plate modeling representative, but put on the moto razr series, this roundness makes the grip very full, and the side uses the blade series of classic oblique line processing, successfully played a role in visual thinning.

The weight of the 198g bare metal is neither light nor heavy, because the palm of the hand carries all the weight when the cover is closed, and you can really feel a sense of weight, but after turning the screen, the overall weight of the fuselage is evenly distributed, and it will give you a feeling that it is much lighter than the iPhone (iPhone11&11Pro and subsequent digital generation models).

Its shell part uses two completely different material processes, although it is glass but half is Bling Bling specular high-gloss texture, and the other half is matte frosted velvet AG glass technology, and are very smooth, so it is wonderful to hold the phone horizontally.

However, the next thing I want to say is that the rear lens module on the left side of the top of the fuselage has changed the central symmetrical design of the previous generation, and when matched with the whole piece of 3D curved glass, the overall impression is round, but once you touch the camera, it always feels like something more. Personally, I prefer the central design of the previous generation, of course, it depends on personal preference.

Below the camera is a 2.7in OLED secondary screen, which is not the standard 16:9 ratio, small in size but with a universe inside. After the sub-screen is lit, the default is the Lenovo customized personality dial, and there is a quartz style dial in the system that supports mechanical sound and vibration. when the pointer rotates every second, it will give tight vibration feedback and realistic sound effect through the linear motor. it feels so good to hold it as if you really hold a watch in your hand.

In addition, the secondary screen supports independent brightness adjustment, Bluetooth, mobile data and flight mode switches, and nine touch panels are provided in the setup. including camera, weather, schedule, fitness, communications, intelligent travel, commuting suggestions, smart courier and application list, you can customize the content of the panel according to your own habits, including some third-party applications. For example, a certain degree of map customization, cool my music and so on.

What surprises me most, however, is its app shortcut panel function, which theoretically works as long as the App is compatible with the resolution and scale of the secondary screen.

The design of the lower half is very simple, mainly due to the improvement brought by velvet AG glass technology. For moto razr 2022, hinges and folding screen are the soul part of the appearance. The new third-generation star orbit pivot not only folds seamlessly in the cover state, but also uses a six-layer screen support structure, including UTG ultra-thin glass, to ensure these stability and durability, so whether the cover is closed or unfolded, the fuselage will not have the slightest sense of loosening and shaking.

When you push open the screen, you can obviously feel the damping change of the hinges. At first, it is a low damping stage in the range of about 30 degrees. After 30 degrees, the damping is obvious. The screen can hover at will at any angle until it is fully expanded to 180 degrees. Although it is difficult for the current hinge structure and damping design to reproduce the chic and crisp flip blade of those days, the classic quick gestures of these two old blades are still preserved and still taste in memory. And the "pop" when closing the lid is also very interesting.

Moto also made an animated wallpaper for the opening and closing screen, and it was no problem to play for an hour. Of course, the greatest significance of this hinge is that there is no crease when it is fully unfolded. Not only does it look like there is no crease, but it doesn't feel any crease. As the most basic but most important experience of the folding screen, moto does a good job of this.

In addition, in the case of fully closed folding, the outside of the hinge will be completely exposed, and show a bright side of the motorola full letter logo, the texture can be said to be directly full.

Another advantage of the folding screen phone is that the fuselage antenna can be done a lot to ensure that the signals in various holding positions are free of dead corners, and the chamfer at the bottom is so detailed that even the card slots are made.

However, the speaker part does not adopt a symmetrical design, the bottom speaker is located on the right side of the middle frame, while the top is integrated into the handset of the physical frame of the screen, which is designed to meet the needs of the fuselage folding at different angles. It still brings clear and excellent playback performance.

Perhaps because of the complex internal structure, the phone does not use an off-screen fingerprint, but integrates a fingerprint identification function on the power button.

And the moto also has to consider the unlocking position of the inner screen and the outer screen, so the power button and the volume key are relatively close, in fact, the power button is fine, but the volume key has to be reached by hand.

In terms of screen, moto razr 2022 uses a 6.7-inch 144Hz high refresh rate 10bit deep color OLED screen, supports full-link HDR10+,100% DCI-P3 and has passed the SGS low blue, low shadow double eye protection certification, the overall visual angle, color and color accuracy are very good, but also provides DC dimming.

Its physical frame is by no means narrow in 2022, and it is also in order to better protect the screen when it is closed, but the surrounding frame is visually symmetrical and harmonious, the hole is also centered, and daily use is completely acceptable. Unfortunately, the classic jaw of the previous generation of moto razr 5G was removed, making it much harder to open the lid with one hand, but also in exchange for a larger screen share.

From the appearance point of view, moto razr 2022 while maintaining the classic design elements of the blade series, but also because of the vertical folding screen shape and different, the recognition of the machine is still very high, in the hinge, back cover material and screen frame design and materials are also very exquisite, in a group of 2022 flagship models can be said to be the most unique feel and emotional experience of the business model mobile phone.

In front of the secondary screen and the system, we mentioned the shortcut program panel of the outer screen, which actually corresponds to the Slogan that was officially mentioned in the warm-up of the Weibo press conference: "No vase, only full-featured outer screen." From the actual experience of CTOnews.com, I think two words should be added to the second half of the sentence, that is, "customization".

Because obviously, if I open a CTOnews.com now, the experience will definitely not be OK. All App developed for vertical screen, such as news and information, short video of information flow and picture community, will have screen size problems and cannot be seen fully, cannot be full-screen, cannot comment, so it is best to use the inner screen.

However, there are many features that are easy to use, such as calculators in this system.

Open bilibili's video and lock the effect behind the screen.

Sometimes, you open a video, but just want to hear the sound, press the power button to lock the screen, and it becomes a Walkman. With this Walkman, you don't have to unlock songs on your commute, scan QR codes and pay for shopping without opening the main screen.

Iqiyi's effect adapted to the full-screen video ratio of the external screen.

Tencent Video's effect of not adapting the full-screen video ratio of the external screen

When eating, I want to watch video on my mobile phone. As long as I unfold the screen in this way, it will become a small TV. Bilibili, iqiyi and watermelon videos are all fine, but Tencent Video has not adapted. I look forward to following up. The need to watch videos can be replaced by online classes and work meetings.

When going to work, open the game to touch a fish, it becomes a Mini handset, with less heat and low power consumption, the boss comes to lock the screen directly, with moto's own lightning start, switch back to the game without waiting, happy. It's just that the screen buttons are a little too small, so I think it's more appropriate to play card games. Of course, if you want to push the limit, you can also try playing music games.

When working, you need to transfer the files to the computer, open the Internet class App, and the computer can be connected directly, which is also very convenient.

There are also things such as navigation and taxi hailing when going out, checking flight information, turning on the camera selfie, etc., in short, light information exchange / display, mild audio and video entertainment, this sub-screen can be done, rounded up this is a small touch screen, ah, I am looking forward to the functional potential of this sub-screen in the future, because now it is already the strongest sub-screen on the smartphone, compared to the kind of mobile phone with a vertical screen. It has incomparable advantages in terms of size, thickness, weight and endurance.

Of course, from a consumer's point of view, I hope that the authorities can continue to upgrade and innovate the sub-screen game. for example, the App with the external screen can close the cover when the outer screen is running on the main screen, and it can continue to be used as long as the outer screen is unlocked, which is similar to the effect of "double-screen relay", or optimize the display area of the secondary screen, more custom options and functions, etc., from the positioning, it is not "all in". It's a "second screen" that focuses on light experience.

In terms of system, moto razr 2022 adopts customized MYUI4.0 based on Android 12, and the overall style is relatively native, continuing the original characteristics of "good, light, fast" and no advertising. At the same time, it has made a lot of improvements in localization functions for domestic consumers, and introduced a new concept of "intuitive interaction" to reduce the cognitive burden and thinking path of users. Make every step of the user natural and intuitive.

For example, there must be a sidebar and mini windows of frequently used quick applications on Android, and the sidebars are interactively consistent with the mainstream solutions, which are all sliding and exhaling into the screen, and can be customized App, and the click and open program is displayed in the form of a small window by default. The small window can not be opened more, and the new side program will cover the last one. Drag the edge to change the size, drag the top bar to move the position, click the upper left corner "-" side to hang, click the enlarge icon full screen and other operations. However, it is clear that MOTO chose the "open and use" logic instead of multi-tasking in the small window logic.

The personalized icon on the desktop is packaged with a complete set of customization options based on the system UI, theme and text to help users better set their preferences. By contrast, desktop widgets and negative screens are more formal, basically in the native color style of rounded cards and Android 12.

Real-time subtitles can help us better understand and extract voice information in video, but you have to pay for it if you want to use the translation function.

Photo experience

The lens uses a combination of 5000W pixel camera + 1300W pixel ultra-wide-angle macro lens, in which the main shot supports OIS optical anti-shake. It can be said that this generation of moto razr 2022 finally caught up with the configuration level of the latest mainstream flagship. Well, first of all, let's briefly take a look at its photo performance.

First of all, the portrait, moto complied with the two elements of shooting a good person first, and then doing a good job in the background separation. We can see from the character's coat that when shooting was under the scorching sun, moto razr 2022 did not highlight the facial features of the character, but also did not cause a big black face due to the light position and glasses leaving a very obvious shadow on the face, and the background illusion is also relatively clean and natural.

In this group, turn on the camera's own AI photo optimization (scene recognition), moto razr 2022 will show the light and shade contrast, and will appropriately increase the picture saturation to make the color style more bright.

The building under 2x zoom, with the advantage of 5000 megapixel resolution, can easily restore the details of the building, and the excellent dynamic range also allows the dark details to be revealed, so as not to be black and black. The color restoration of the sky part is more accurate.

The use of vertical shooting + ultra-wide-angle lens can well show the grandeur of the building, the dark details and the sense of light and shadow space under the eaves are lifelike, while the sky and ground have also carried out some color optimization again, which can be very interesting without a filter. It can be said that the advantage of high resolution brought by high pixels gives moto razr 2022 a lot of room to play. In short, moto razr 2022 does not advertise images with much fanfare, but the quality of the photos taken is commendable.

Performance and battery life of the new moto razr 2022 configuration improvements are very significant, the processor directly uses the latest flagship SOC-- Snapdragon 8bike, the storage mix is also up to the highest 12GB LPDDR5 + 512GB UFS3.1 specifications, and also supports superlinear large amplitude stereo double Yang and 3 microphone dynamic pick-up / noise reduction algorithms, X-axis linear motor, 3500mAh battery.

In terms of performance, because of its product positioning and slim fuselage, its performance release is not as radical as many products, so let's simply test Breakdown 3 this time.

Set the brightness of the phone to 75%, the external volume to 50%, connect to WiFi and select the high-performance mode in the sidebar of the game. The game is set to full-high picture quality, full-height special effects, 90 battle frames and 60 pages. At the current room temperature of 25 degrees, you can see that the upper limit of the number of frames in the actual battle is still 60 after 10 minutes. However, the frame rate curve is very stable, with occasional small stutters, but basically does not affect the game experience. The final average number of frames is 54.9 frames, the power consumption is about 4W, the highest surface temperature of the fuselage is 39.5C, the performance of collapse 3 is very stable, and Game for Peace is more than enough to deal with the king.

In terms of battery life, the moto razr 2022 is equipped with a 3500mAh battery, an improvement over the previous generation. We also briefly measured the power consumption. In WiFi environment, the phone adjusts to 60% screen brightness and 50% external volume, plays an episode of Tencent Video 1080p picture quality TV series (skipping the beginning and end of the film) for about 45 minutes, consumes 8% power, plays for 30 minutes, consumes 11% power, browses Weibo, CTOnews.com Wechat, and listens to Yiyun backstage for 30 minutes. It consumes 12% power after 30 minutes. According to this level of power consumption, it is basically possible to use it for a day without heavy use.

In terms of charging, the power of the standard charging head is 33W, while the actual charging is 30W. After being "spoiled" by domestic fast charging of more than 66W, people may worry that it is not enough. After CTOnews.com measurement, 5 minutes to charge 13% focus 10 minutes to charge 22 percent, 30 minutes to charge 60 percent, 60 minutes to charge 95 percent. Although it is still not as good as all kinds of "flash charging", the overall charging speed is really not slow.

Although in terms of configuration, moto razr 2022 adopts the mainstream configuration of this year's flagship machine, it shows mature and exquisite folding screen technology and morphological differentiation innovation, after all, the flagship is to focus on experience differences. Of course, we can also see some compromises, such as rear camera modules, native systems, battery capacity and fast charging specifications.

Some people just regard the mobile phone as a tool, as long as the basic experience is enough. Some people like to pursue differentiation and unique design, moto razr 2022 is obviously to ensure that to meet everyone's use as a tool, but also to achieve a different and unique design, and then to bring users a better experience, if you like its folding screen shape, design, practicality and texture, then moto razr 2022 can be said to be a very worthwhile experience in this year's folding screen products.
