The iPhone doesn’t fold, and I’m all-in on foldables. That’s that. But even die-hard Droids have to deal with the data: the iPhone just keeps gaining momentum, at home and abroad.

Form factor fatigue is a big part of what drove me to foldables as my daily drivers, and to all outward appearances the iPhone 15 Pro / Pro Max is, indeed, just another rectangle.But as rectangles go, it’s a pretty special one.In addition to finally bringing the USB-C port I've been asking for since the start of this channel in 2016, the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max make three major changes that will really matter to the folks who line up at the Apple store every new iPhone season.

Skin your Galaxy Z Flip 5, Motorola RAZR+, or other devices here: dbrand.com/mrmobile-flip5[SAMSUNG GALAXY Z FLIP 5 VS MOTOROLA RAZR+]Over three years ago, Motorola kickstarted the clamshell revival with the resurrected MOTORAZR 2019 … and just a few months later, Samsung came for Motorola’s milkshake with a direct competitor: the first Galaxy Z Flip.Well a little under three months ago, I started to think history might be about to repeat itself. Because while I like Motorola’s Razr+ 2023 that dropped in June, the reality is that it’s a phone built around one killer feature: a huge cover screen that lets this flip phone double as a tiny phone. With not much else to set the Razr+ apart, I speculated that all Samsung would need to do to crush it would be to release an updated Galaxy Flip that did the same thing. And lo and behold, Samsung has done just that.Today on MrMobile, we’re putting the world’s two best flip phones head to head!

Same as the Fold 3 and Flip 3 before that; and the second and first generations before.But this year, for the first time in American foldable history, Samsung faces competition in both categories. On the clamshell front, Motorola’s Razr+ is a real affront thanks to its larger … front. At the same time, the Galaxy Fold’s large-format dominance is threatened by the Google Pixel Fold and the upcoming OnePlus foldable.Well Samsung invited me to an early hands-on at its pop-up experience center in Herald Square to see the heat it’s bringing to compete: the meaningfully different Galaxy Flip 5 … and the exceedingly familiar Galaxy Fold 5.[SUBSCRIBE TO MRMOBILE]https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSOp...[ABOUT THIS VIDEO]MrMobile's Galaxy Flip 5 / Galaxy Fold 5 Hands-On was produced following two hours with a selection of review samples provided by Samsung at a media event in NYC.

Skin your Pixel Fold (or other device) here! dbrand.com/mrmobile-fold[GOOGLE PIXEL FOLD REVIEW]If you haven't noticed, MrMobile has had a busy month. In the “hot foldable summer” of 2023, I find myself reviewing the most significant Android in ages, on short notice, while traveling … and folks, that’s exactly the kind of lifestyle the book-type foldable was made for.For the past three and a half years, a Samsung Galaxy Fold has filled that need in my life – for a laptop when there isn't space for a laptop; a tablet when a phone isn't quite enough. Well, Google’s new Pixel Fold turns the equation on its side, in a way that’s been done before, yes – but this time the company doing it is the company that makes Android.

Motorola RAZR+ Review: The Flip Phone You Dont Need To Open MrMobile [Michael Fisher] 2023-06-22 | Small phones are dead. The iPhone mini is done for; Sony's Xperia Compact is long gone; and even the Pixel A-series is a fairly big 6-inch candybar. Unless you want to import something like a Unihertz Jelly, the age of the miniature phone is over.That is ... unless you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior, the Hinge.Yes, it's foldable time again – and Motorola's new Razr+ is the very definition of the best of both worlds: it's a clamshell flip phone that lets you spread out on a big 6.9-inch screen, then fold that screen in half to produce a phone that fits in almost any pocket."Sure," you're saying, "but so what? Flip foldables have been doing that for years." Well, the thing that sets the Razr+ apart is how much it can do ... without you ever needing to open it.[SUBSCRIBE TO MRMOBILE]https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSOp...[ABOUT MRMOBILE'S MOTOROLA RAZR+ REVIEW/RAZR PLUS REVIEW]This video was produced following two weeks with a Motorola RAZR+ review unit provided by Motorola.

In fact, Google has tried tablets so many times, in so many ways, over so many years ... that it's actually officially given up on them at least once!But what Google hasn't tried is making a tablet that turns into a Google Nest when you put it down – until now. That's what the Pixel Tablet is trying to be, and a week after welcoming it into my own "nest," I think it’s a truly special idea. I just wish I could trust Google to stick with it.[CORRECTION] The Pixel Tablet will receive guaranteed Android platform updates until June 2026, and security updates through June 2028. The reason for the error: technical documentation provided with my review device stated platform support would only continue through "June 2023." MrMobile regrets the error.[SUBSCRIBE TO MRMOBILE]https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSOp...[ABOUT THIS VIDEO]MrMobile's Google Pixel Tablet Review was produced following one week with a Pixel Tablet review sample provided by Google.MrMobile does not accept compensation from the manufacturers of the products he reviews in exchange for producing content.

Go to https://Surfshark.deals/mrmobile - Enter promo code MRMOBILE for 83% off and 3 extra months for free![MOBVOI TICWATCH PRO 5 REVIEW]Early in the smartwatch wars, a company called Mobvoi carved out a following with a wearable called the TicWatch: a smart, low-profile timepiece controlled by a clever capacitive touch strip on the side. Even after ditching its homegrown TicWear platform for Google’s Wear OS, Mobvoi kept the attention of enthusiasts – because every year, it was among the first to use Qualcomm’s newest wearable chipsets, and it was the only manufacturer (outside of Casio) offering a dual-layer display to help with battery life and daylight visibility.The TicWatch Pro 5 continues that tradition of hardware excellence … but it launches into a Wear OS world that’s oddly more fragmented than ever, and it debuts to an audience more skeptical than ever of Mobvoi’s commitment to its products. Is it worth paying the same as a Pixel Watch will cost you? I’m Michael Fisher and it’s time to find out.[SUBSCRIBE TO MRMOBILE]https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSOp...[ABOUT MRMOBILE'S MOBVOI TICWATCH PRO 5 REVIEW]This video was produced following several weeks with two TicWatch Pro 5 review samples provided by Mobvoi.

100 Miles On An E-Bike! Velotric T1 Review MrMobile [Michael Fisher] 2023-06-03 | For years, I didn’t understand the appeal of an e-bike. As a guy who didn’t get much exercise, bicycles were one of the few ways I could “work out” – and an electric bike sounded like it would take that exercise away from me.But as more electric options started to creep into the Citi Bike stands surrounding my south Brooklyn home, I started to understand that e-bikes don’t eliminate exercise; they just let you choose how much work you want to do. So when a company called Velotric invited me to test out a new e-road bike designed for “urban and beyond”… I decided to see just how far beyond I could go – with a two-day bike ride from my New York City apartment to my childhood home.I’m Michael Fisher and this is MrMobile’s 100-Mile Review of the Velotric T1!NOTE: Velotric changed the name of the e-bike following production. The official name as of 12 July 2023 is the "Velotric T1."[SUBSCRIBE TO MRMOBILE]https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSOp...[ABOUT MRMOBILE'S VELOTRIC T1 REVIEW]This video was produced following several weeks with a Velotric T1 E-Bike, with principal photography shot during a 100-mile ride from Brooklyn NY to Eastern Long Island, NY.

Because these are Cameraphones with a capital “C,” their over-the-top optics amped up by try-hard software, each of them leveraging the legacy of a more-than-century-old camera-maker to burnish their much-younger credentials. So when another nearly 200-year-old company offered to bring me to Texas to make the case that John Deere is just as much technology company as agricultural equipment wholesaler, I hid my hairdo beneath a farmer hat and used those phones to shoot the everloving hell outta some self-driving tractors.

Inside A Folding Phone: The Hinge That Helped Oppo Delete The Crease MrMobile [Michael Fisher] 2023-03-28 | “Will I hurt my folding phone if I flip it open as hard as I can?”“Why do different foldables have different-looking creases?”“How are folding phones even possible?”The answer to all these questions comes down, mostly, to the same ancient technology that makes your laptops, your cabinets … even your front door work: the good old-fashioned hinge. Recently, Oppo gave me the opportunity to learn everything I could learn about the hinges inside its Find N2 and Find N2 Flip folding phones – and today on Into The Fold, I’m taking an up-close look at them, to see what they can teach us about what it takes to fold a phone![SUBSCRIBE TO MRMOBILE]https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSOp...[ABOUT INTO THE FOLD EPISODE 13: HINGES!]This is the thirteenth in a series of episodes exploring the many facets of life on a folding screen. From the best foldable phones of 2023 to the bleeding-edge world of folding-screen laptops, “Into The Fold” is MrMobile’s showcase for the most exciting movement in mobile technology since 2007!This episode of “Into The Fold” was made possible by two Oppo Find N2 Flip review samples, one Find N2 review sample, and several engineering samples of production hinges provided by Oppo, which also allowed MrMobile to interview the engineers and product managers responsible for hardware design on the company’s folding phones.MrMobile does not accept compensation from the manufacturers of the products he reviews in exchange for producing content.

Honor Magic Vs: The Thinner, Bigger, Lesser Foldable MrMobile [Michael Fisher] 2023-02-28 | Sponsored by Surfshark VPN. Go to https://Surfshark.deals/mrmobile - Enter promo code MRMOBILE for 83% off and 3 extra months for free![HONOR MAGIC VS INITIAL REVIEW]Stop me if you've heard this one before: "great hardware, undone by under-done software."If that sounds like a line straight out of a Huawei phone review from 2016, well, that tracks. Because Honor began its corporate life as a youth-focused sub-brand of that now-beleaguered behemoth, and even though Honor is now an independent phone maker shipping its first global foldable (Google apps and all) … well, a lot of its software still feels stuck in Shenzhen. Still, it’s early software, and it’s a folding phone – from a brand that historically has competed on price. So the Honor Magic Vs might be an important step toward broader foldable adoption … if that price is right. From Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, I'm Michael Fisher – and this is MrMobile's initial review!(NOTE: MrMobile was informed late in the review process that the Honor Magic Vs software would receive an update before release. That update will address, among other things, the missing app drawer – though more details were not immediately available. If the Magic Vs user experience changes significantly in the time leading up to release, follow-up coverage may be warranted. Stay tuned!)[SUBSCRIBE TO MRMOBILE]https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSOp...[ABOUT MRMOBILE'S HONOR MAGIC VS FIRST-PASS REVIEW]This video was produced following twelve days with an Honor Magic Vs review sample provided by Honor and tested on Tello Mobile and Google Fi, in the United States and Spain.

Get premium phone service without the premium price today: http://mrmobile.tech/1Zv[ONEPLUS 11 REVIEW]Most smartphones follow a predictable path, which is to say: they evolve … linearly, year after year adding new features and capabilities until they're so capable there's not much more to improve upon.But as OnePlus has reminded us time and again: it does not make most smartphones. If you're a longtime OnePlus fan, you've seen major changes every single year: Sometimes it has wireless charging; sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes you can buy it at T-Mobile, sometimes not so much. The telephoto camera changes from 2x to 3x … back to 2x. The USB port on the power brick goes from A-type to C ... back to A. As we learned last year, even the signature alert slider isn't safe, having been deleted from the in-betweener OnePlus 10T, only to reappear here. How long will it stick around this time? Who knows.The good news? Despite the maddening inconsistency of the brand that built it, the OnePlus 11 is a very solid smartphone – with more positive than negative surprises hiding beneath its glossy surface.[SUBSCRIBE TO MRMOBILE]https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSOp...[ABOUT MRMOBILE’S ONEPLUS 11 REVIEW]MrMobile’s OnePlus 11 Review was produced following three weeks with a OnePlus 11 review sample provided by OnePlus.

Oppo Find N2 Review: A Foldable With Wide Appeal MrMobile [Michael Fisher] 2022-12-31 | There are two types of foldable phone that matter: large-format book-style folding tablets, and compact flip-style clamshells. Or at least, that was true until Oppo came along with a flexible-display smartphone that tried to carve out a space between. The Oppo Find N2 is the sequel to last year’s standout Find N, and I've spent one holiday break over two weeks across three states seeing how this in-betweener compares to its more common competition.

Garmin MARQ Captain (Gen 2) Review: Sailor’s Delight MrMobile [Michael Fisher] 2022-11-25 | Today’s smartwatches are mostly lightweight plastic or glass lumps, usually strapped to the wrist with rubber or textile. They’re incredibly useful for on-the-go email slingers; they’re great fitness tools for people who prioritize their health … but a decade or so after they hit the mainstream, most smartwatches are (I think) fairly forgettable. Well, Garmin just loaned me a sample of the least-forgettable smartwatch I’ve ever worn. To test it, I flew it five time zones away to trial its Jet Lag Advisor; hiked at the highest elevation I’ve ever been to test its altimeter; and, well, just hung out by the water to see how well its nautical design blended with the maritime setting that inspired it. It’s too big for a lot of wrists and too expensive for almost everyone – but without that exclusivity, it wouldn't be "the Captain."

So I kinda feel like this is a case of in-for-a-penny, in-for-a-pound.” Well fortunately for fans of foldables, not everyone is such an absolutist. Xiaomi has somehow found a way to stuff bigger screens than the Galaxy Fold 4 into a phone that’s thinner than the Surface Duo 2 and sleeker than any other large-format foldable. It launched in China in August; I’ve been using it in New York since October; and today I’m taking it across the country for four days covering the MediaTek Summit in Sonoma California.

Go to https://Surfshark.deals/mrmobile - Enter promo code MRMOBILE for 83% off and 3 extra months for free![GOOGLE PIXEL WATCH REVIEW]The years since Google’s smartwatch platform hit the market back in 2014 have been … chaotic. In the face of lackluster demand after several generations of smartwatches, Android Wear would be rebranded to “Wear OS” and undergo a painful parade of reinventions, often hamstrung by underpowered silicon and inconsistencies across its various hardware partners. Samsung got so fed up with Wear OS that it pivoted to its own Tizen software to power its Galaxy Watches for several years, only recently having been wooed back. Pebble, the OG smartwatch maker, got bought by Fitbit – which in turn got scooped up by Google. And in the midst of all this upheaval, Apple just kept counting money, selling millions of Apple Watches across eight generations of slow but steady iteration.Flash forward to 2022 and the Pixel Watch is the smartwatch Google built to change all that. Like many first-generation products, it’s too expensive; it doesn’t do enough of what it promises; and it has no chance of living up to its hype. But it’s also proof positive that Google actually cares about smartwatches again.

Until Apple came along, no one mattered more in mobile than the company that built the first cellphone – and there was no phone more recognizable than the RAZR. That brand name redefined the first flip phones in 2004; it helped Android conquer the smartphone world in 2011; and it resurrected the flip phone in 2019 with the world’s first mass-market foldable (that also brought back the venerable brand name).But no amount of retro-futurism would hold off Samsung once the South Korean juggernaut decided it wanted a piece of the action. After a slow start with the Galaxy Z Flip, it went for the kill with the solid Z Flip 3 and excellent Galaxy Z Flip 4, each of which beat the Razr on the spec sheet and on the price list.For its part, Motorola kept the world waiting nearly two years for a response. And now that the phone is finally here, Motorola’s attitude seems to be: if you can’t resonate … emulate. I’m Michael Fisher and I’ve spent two months with the Motorola Razr 2022, a wide and weird effort to duplicate Samsung’s success – by copying the copycat.[SUBSCRIBE TO MRMOBILE]https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSOp...[ABOUT MRMOBILE’S MOTOROLA RAZR 2022 REVIEW]MrMobile’s Motorola RAZR 2022 Review was produced following two months with a China-market Motorola RAZR 2022 review sample (model XT2251-1) purchased by MrMobile’s publisher Future PLC.

So, it reinvented the wheel in the messy, chaotic way the best reboots happen: by blowing up the comfortable but calcified status quo in favor of a bolder if bumpier chance at something better. That was the Pixel 6, and this year’s Pixel 7 does exactly what it should about (most of) that phone’s bumps … while keeping the price of admission lower than most, and bundling the only camera I would have wanted for a once-in-a-lifetime Iceland vacation.

In fact, last year’s Galaxy Z Flip 3 got so much right that it went on to become the world’s most popular foldable – one that, after a year of use, I found lacking mainly in its battery life and camera. Did Samsung improve enough on those weaknesses to make the similarly-specced, identically-priced Galaxy Z Flip 4 the new clamshell cream of the crop?

But then maybe you notice the “4” at the end of these model names, or you end up in a bleary-eyed deep-dive into MrMobile's videos … and you realize that it was almost three years ago that I showed you how much Samsung’s first Galaxy Fold helped me search for my first New York City apartment. My time with that review device turned out to be so transformative that I bought my very own Galaxy Fold in January 2020, and two sequels later, I’ve never gone back to a conventional phone for my personal device. Today, it’s the Samsung Galaxy Fold 3 that’s helping me seek out a new Brooklyn apartment (if I can afford it) … and the Galaxy Flip 3 that helps me unwind when I need to close the lid on StreetEasy for a while.So yes, in this video I will share my first impressions after an hour with Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4.

A Montblanc Smartwatch (Not A Google One): Wear OS 3 on the Summit 3 MrMobile [Michael Fisher] 2022-08-06 | It's the smartwatch reboot Android wearable fans have been awaiting since 2017, when a combination of confusing software and underwhelming hardware kicked off a dark age that saw Google's Wear OS platform lose mind- and market share to competitors like Garmin and Apple.

It’s traveled tens of thousands of miles with me, and it’s produced every one of the MrMobile videos I’ve uploaded since I bought it (including this one). While I prefer other laptops for play, 2021’s MacBook Pro is an indispensable tool for my work – the best I’ve ever used. Join me to see why, in MrMobile's MacBook Pro 2021 Review.[ABOUT MRMOBILE’S MACBOOK PRO 16" - 2021 M1 MAX EDITION REVIEW]This review was produced following seven months with a 16" MacBook Pro 2021 (M1 Max Edition) purchased by MrMobile's publisher Future PLC.
