      Fold the price in half just like the phone eh?

      me too

    • ab c on 02/05/2024 - 15:36

      UN-likely, already 50% off.

      Foldable screens can't match an equivalent fixed-screens…it's physic & the current technology screen will prove itself 3+ years from now. But some people don't care & prefer it.

      Mid-range-phone: consider Moto-Edge-40.
      Edge-50-Pro-256Gb is out hence Edge-40 is likely to be on clear soon-ish, 50% off ~$350.
      Other mid-range & higher model that were released 1 year ago are likely to be cleared soon too…consume to your heart's content 🤩.

    Welp, I'm replacing my Mi 9T with this. Hoping the flip-phone meme is a worthwhile venture.
    I've gotten an email that TopCashback has tracked the purchase, its shown up on the overview page but yet to hit "earnings". Looks like the $396 price will be legit - nice find!

    It's not the most capable phone compared to some peers, but honestly this packs more than enough for non-gaming power users. E-sim, Snapdragon, 5G, mid-range price… pretty well a unicorn in this market.

        I am on PixelExperience, and its lost support - means I'm unable to use Google Wallet and a few things. But most importantly, I think some memory is dying, as I'm getting an increase in phone restarts and freezes. Otherwise, yeah.. my Mi 9T still kills it for battery, hardware, camera, everything I need.

        Not really interested in the flip or 5G, but e-sim is a must for me. Experienced using e-sim overseas and my god it's a nicer experience than trying to find local sims, activating, troubleshooting etc..

    Poor sales of this phone just means it will keep dropping in price.

    I wouldn't rush in buying this as I expect it to drop to $350 or below in the upcoming EOFY Sales

      Agree. Samsung and iPhone earned your trust to penetrate market and knock off Nokia. They had to offer lower prices, especially Samsung. Now that we are believers they can charge whatever they want.

      Motorola going to have to have an amazing product and amazing price to pull market share. The original asking price was absolutely dreaming

        TBH, Samsung phone are sht. They try too hard with inhouse customisation. Makes it very laggy. As well, forces various Samsung apps onto users.

        I own one because its camera is semi decent. No other alternatives in the local market aside from an iPhone.

        The day Moto or Nokia puts a decent camera on their phone coupled with native Android experience, I am in.

          You are comparing which Samsung's phone with iphone if i may ask? Camera on s23 ultra is pretty darn good.

            +1

            @Bacha: 15 pro and s23 Ultra. Not gonna dabate which is better as they are all decent portable cameras. (I shoot with full frame DSLRs for proper photos. I guess all phones are no replacement for a proepr camera).

            Found the local market to not have other alternatives to Samsung/Apple in terms of a semi decent camera phone.

            • Bacha on 02/05/2024 - 12:05

              @Chinese: Majority of people would be happy with either phone's camera. I was referring to day to day performance and s23U is not laggy at least not for anyone i know. My experience is very good so far.

                +1

                @Bacha: Well, it is one of the most expensive phone and works okay.

                Can lag from time to time and needs to clear "cache" using the boot up menu. Reuslt of very poorly optimised software. Adding salt to the wound, they just revamp their OS with AI integration - which I would rather not have. Becoming more of a joke as the days go by.

                My old ROG Phone 3 performs just as well in day to day, but made the switch for a better camera.

        • Jamesx on 07/05/2024 - 12:35

          Huawei was the biggest threat - better phone with competitive prices, now it's off international market.
          Otherwise, we'd have better iPhone & Samsung for cheaper 4 years ago.
          I always wonder so call free market nations are so proud when their products were thriving, but not when others follow them. Look at NOW EV market & countries' responses. Why AUS always missed the boats? Is it because we made so much money selling iron ore & natural gas, so we can prospect forever?

          • Chinese on 07/05/2024 - 13:05

            @Jamesx: Says it all here

    I wouldn't risk using this considering how many time I have to use my phone during the day, the screen would peal off in a week or so.

    • hippo2s on 02/05/2024 - 08:33

      Agree. I wouldn't even consider buying because there is a finite limit on the phone. Why are we at this point in the tech world that it's ok to sell a product with finite use limit?

      They are able to make pretty close to bezel less non flexible display (sharp aquos) why can't they just slap 2 together side by side Nintendo DS style?

      • boretentsu on 02/05/2024 - 08:40

        They just hide the parts they make finite. At least here is explicit

        • WatchNerd on 02/05/2024 - 08:53

          Yep let's just ignore the fact that most phones have a battery that can't be easily replaced.

          • easternculture on 02/05/2024 - 09:02

            @WatchNerd: They can, if your game enough

            +1

            @WatchNerd: I think batteries have evolved enough to last for a long period of time and charging has become so much faster as well and batteries can do more charge cycles then back in the days so it kinda is okay, well for me anyways.

            But a soft screen that can break in few weeks or months is just unacceptable to me.

            • hippo2s on 04/05/2024 - 16:53

              @itsmoe: Yes completely. Whoever suggest that battery is also an item that could die…it's nowhere near the same level.

              At worst if battery goes you should still be able to plug it in and power on to save data, the death is very gradual. When a screen goes it's sudden and there is no alternative method to save data.

    $399 would be a realistic price for this in a few months without cashback. The processor and camera is what let's it down. I think my Note 10+ is faster.

    • NotReallyaMoneySaver on 02/05/2024 - 10:04

      I've seen videos and photos take on a budget phone phone before, that is far cheaper than this with worse specifications. For the average user, current cameras are more than enough to take decent photos and videos. Sure the processor might not be the most powerful, it is still a decent flagship process albeit 2 years old. $499 is a very decent price for a flip phone, that is significantly cheaper than the Samsung Z Flip 3 or 4.

      • RocketSwitch on 02/05/2024 - 11:36

        I don't think it's acceptable to put in a processor that's beaten by a 2019 flagship phone. That's 5 years behind and ongoing performance hit. Pair that up with the inherent risk of a foldable screen and a decent camera shouldn't be $500. My Note 10+ was $630 when I got it over 3 years ago.

        • furyou on 02/05/2024 - 22:50

          But a 2019 flagship phone won't have the latest Android. So I guess the actual problem is Android. Otherwise we could all be using phones for more than three years.

      It's definitely the fidget factor. THere's so many downsides. 5W wireless charging is not practical, lower water and dust resistance etc.

      I'm using my flip 5 so I can fit it in all my small shoulder / waist strap packets on my backpacks / hydropacks for MTB, running, and hiking.
      Main limiting factor of other phones is overall length.
      I use mine without a case so it's not too bad. They become way too thick with a case though.

    • Minimum chips on 15/05/2024 - 09:43

      Nostalgia, for those of us who had the pre-touchscreen Razr.

      Otherwise novelty. It's just something a bit different which suits some but not others, like any other design variance in a phone.

      It is thick when folded, but there's no more or less total phone than you'd have otherwise.

    The number of folds to break Razr 40 Plus and Samsung Z Flip 5 has been tested.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2v28cOaYfIw

    https://www.techradar.com/phones/folding-phones-have-wildly-…

    "The Motorola phone’s hinge reportedly started to fail at roughly the 43,800 fold mark, with the screen breaking at around 126,300 folds. Meanwhile, Samsung’s phone’s hinge lasted until the 223,000 fold mark – but at 350,000 folds the phone’s screen was standing strong. One ‘fold’ counts as one complete cycle of closing and reopening the phone.

    In more practical terms this means the Motorola Razr Plus Ultra hinge would be fine for roughly two years of using the phone an average of 60 times a day, with the screen surviving for five years and nine months. The Samsung Z Flip 5 would instead give you around 10 years of use before the hinge failed.

    The scores are particularly interesting when you consider that Motorola has said its hinge is rated to last for 400,000 folds, while Samsung’s phone is only rated for 200,000."
