In this part of the video, the presenter discusses the practical aspects of using a foldable phone with a 4200mAh battery and highlights its refined physical mechanics for opening and closing, which can be done easily with one hand. The phone’s improved design results in fewer creaks and clicks compared to previous models, enhancing the user experience. The leather-like finish on the phone provides a better grip, making it less likely to slide off surfaces. Despite the overall well-built form factor and ease of one-handed operation, the phone does have a minor issue with closing resistance. The presenter notes that while the phone has water-repellent coating and splash resistance, a higher IPX8 water resistance rating like on other models would offer more peace of mind.

In this part of the video, the reviewer highlights several features of the phone, such as the convenience of the chop flashlight and the Moto actions for quickly accessing the camera or taking selfies. They praise the phone’s performance in gaming, especially noting the smooth experience at a 144 Hz refresh rate and its comfortable form factor for daily use, despite the narrower screen affecting video viewing experience and speaker quality. Wireless and wired charging are detailed, with wireless charging being very convenient despite its 5-watt limit, and wired charging reaching full battery in under an hour. Battery life varies significantly, from 7.5 hours of screen time under normal use to only 3.5 hours under heavy use.
The camera performance is divided; photos are sufficient for social media, and the digital zoom and wide-angle lens perform adequately, but video quality is subpar, particularly with choppy playback during movement. The reviewer compares this to the smoother video performance of the Samsung flip 5, indicating where the latter’s higher price might be justified. Overall, the reviewer is satisfied with the phone over the month-long usage and appreciates the affordability of a foldable phone as they head into 2024.
