I seriously considered this. I love the form factor. then I saw the price. problem is while I like the form factor im not really willing to pay much more for it. So it needs to be like less than 100 more than phones with similar hardware levels. I also hate the way they put screens on the outside. I want to be able to flip it closed and for it to not be active or glow or interact in any way at that point. that to me is the point of being able to flip closed.
I have a 5. Now that the new Razr+ is out, and they seem to have addressed most of the previous issues, that’s the one I’ll be looking at next.
Why? Samsung software. It’s pervasive and hard to remove, or even often just to disable. And Samsung collects all of the data. It’s crazy how much is shipped back to Samsung servers.
If you don’t care about that kind of thing, the hardware is nice. But I’m looking elsewhere for my next flip phone.

It would be nice if the exterior display was just like an e ink one that showed a clock and notifications like the little lcds on old flip phone lids
or maybe jave a slide closure or something.
