**Article: The Razer Phone - A Gaming Giant Enters the Smartphone Realm**
*Introduction:*
Hello, tech enthusiasts! Today is an exciting day as I dive into the world of smartphones with a gadget that’s making waves in the tech community. The Razer Phone, a gaming-focused smartphone by the renowned gaming accessories company, Razer, is finally here. While Razer is primarily known for its gaming laptops and peripherals, they’ve decided to step into the competitive smartphone market, aiming to deliver the best gaming and multimedia experience on a phone. Let’s explore what makes this device special.
*Design:*
The Razer Phone has a rectangular body, reminiscent of the NextBit Robin, which Razer acquired earlier this year. However, Razer has made significant improvements to the design. The phone features a sleek aluminum unibody with a finish similar to their premium Razer Blade laptops. It comes with a silver Razer logo, but for those who prefer the classic look, there’s an option for a green logo available only for the first 1337 pre-orderers—a nod to gaming culture.
*Display:*
At the heart of this phone is its stunning 5.7-inch quad HD display, which supports wide color gamut and is the same panel used in Razer Blade laptops. This isn’t just any display—it’s the world’s first 120Hz ultra-motion display, allowing games to be played at up to 120 frames per second. The high refresh rate ensures a smooth experience, not just for gaming but also for general use. However, this feature is adjustable in settings, allowing users to conserve battery life if needed.
*Audio:*
Surrounding the display are stereo speakers equipped with Dolby Atmos technology, aiming to deliver 360-degree sound. During initial testing, the speakers were impressively loud and left a strong impression. However, Razer sacrificed waterproofing features (no IP rating) for these top-tier audio capabilities. I’m curious about your thoughts—would you trade water resistance for better sound quality on a phone geared towards gaming and multimedia? Let me know in the comments.
*Hardware and Features:*
On the left side of the phone, you’ll find volume controls, while the right side houses the power button, which doubles as a fingerprint scanner. The bottom of the phone features a USB Type-C port for charging—this is also the first phone to ship with Qualcomm Quick Charge 4.0 Plus. The phone boasts a beefy 4000mAh battery, promising impressive endurance, especially when paired with adjustable display settings and refresh rates.
Unfortunately, there’s no headphone jack, which is a significant downside for many users, including myself. However, Razer includes a high-quality adapter with a built-in 24-bit DAC, offering superior audio quality compared to standard jacks. While this might not make up for the missing headphone port, it’s an excellent alternative.
*Cameras:*
The Razer Phone comes with dual 12-megapixel cameras and a dual-tone flash, along with an 8-megapixel front-facing camera. I didn’t get the chance to test these extensively during my initial review, so you’ll have to wait for a full day-in-the-life video to see how they perform.
*Software:*
Under the hood, the Razer Phone packs impressive specs, including the latest Snapdragon 835 chip and an impressive 8GB of RAM—a first in the smartphone world. The phone ships with 64GB of storage and supports up to 2TB via a micro SD card slot. Running on stock Android 7.1.1 (with plans to update to Oreo), this device offers minimal bloatware, catering to purists.
Razer is collaborating closely with game developers to optimize titles for the phone’s 2K display and high refresh rates. One of the standout games mentioned is Final Fantasy XV, which I’m extremely excited about. With Raz
"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's going on guys the Travers consumer and today is an exciting day because I finally get to let you guys know about the brand new razor phone now I know razor is a gaming company but they actually want to step into the smartphone realm with that in mind and they're trying to bring the best gaming and multimedia phone to the market so here's the rundown so first things first let's talk about the design this thing's got a rectangular body and for those familiar with it it looks very similar to the next bit robin which makes sense since razer acquired them earlier this year but they've made some really nice changes to their version of the design well we're looking at is a 5.7 inch quad HD display that supports the wide color gamut and this is actually the same panel as the Razer Blade laptops not to mention this is the world's first 120 Hertz ultra motion display with this display games are gonna be able to be played at up to 120 frames per second and it brings an overall really smooth experience even if you aren't gaming on the phone this is adjustable in the settings though so if you're looking to save on some battery you have that option as well surrounding the display we have stereo speakers but these aren't just any speakers they're actually equipped with Dolby Atmos and they're aiming to give 360 degrees sound and I'm gonna have to do some more testing to let you guys know how well they pulled that off but they did get really loud and I'm not gonna lie they did leave a pretty good impression on me but in order to get great sounding speakers like these razer did have to forego adding any waterproofing features so there's no IP rating over here and i'm actually genuinely curious about what you guys think about sacrificing that waterproofing feature for great sounding speakers on a phone that's geared towards multimedia and gaming let me know in the comments down below I want to know if it's a big deal for you or if you think it makes sense but back to the phone if we take a look around on the left side you'll see your volume controls and on the right side you'll find your power button which also doubles as a fingerprint scanner you'll also find your SIM card tray which has a slot for a micro SD card if you want to add some more storage at the bottom of the phone you'll also find a USB type-c port for charging and this also happens to be the first phone that shipped with Qualcomm quick charge 4.0 plus so charge it's beefy 4000 milliamp hour bad but sadly there's no headphone jack in sight which is honestly a serious bummer to me but razer does include a high quality adapter that also has a built-in 24-bit DAC which pretty much means we should get better audio quality than with a standard headphone jack but man I'd trade that thing in any day for a built-in headphone jack I'm not gonna lie and finally taking a look at the back you'll see that this has an aluminum unibody with a finish just like their razor blade laptops and it also comes with a silver Razer logo but if you really want to represent distance with a classic green logo but that's only gonna be available for the first 1337 who order it because it's for the lead and not to mention there's also dual 12 megapixel cameras and a dual tone flash as well as an 8 megapixel front-facing camera unfortunately I didn't get a chance to really test out the cameras so you guys are gonna have to wait until I put it through a real day in the life now Razer is a gaming company that makes a bunch of Awesome accessories and some insanely spec laptops but they're trying to bring that power down to the mobile world in terms of specs we're looking at the latest Snapdragon 835 chip carried by all the flagships of this year eight gigs of ram which is just nuts I can't believe we're at the point where we're seeing that much RAM inside of a smart phone it'll also ship with 64 gigs of storage and has that SD card slot that supports up to 2 terabyte micro SD s if they'll ever exist I think that this is more than an impressive spec sheet and it hits a lot of the check boxes that we expect from today's smartphones spec wise so what does all this power under the hood actually mean well it should lead to great media consumption and gaming Razer is definitely targeting folks who want the best experience watching content and playing games on their phone this is running a stock version of Android 7.1.1 with a premium copy of Nova Launcher but it will be updated to Android Oreo sometime down the line I definitely think stock Android is the right approach for all the Android lovers out there who are looking for minimal to no bloatware and speaking of software Razer is working closely with game developers to bring games that are optimized for this phone and it's 2k display one of those titles is actually Final Fantasy 15 and if you know me you know I'm pretty hype about that and if everything goes according to Razors plan we'll be playing some awesome games at 2k with frame rates of up to 120 FPS with a great sound experience to follow and while all of this sounds pretty intense for a phone razer said they worked really hard on the thermals to prevent the phone from heating up and throttling under intense pressure and if you want to take it easy with this phone you can always bring down the resolution of your display as well as the refresh rate which should lead to some pretty awesome battery considering it has a four thousand milliamp hour battery I'm definitely gonna have to do some tests to see if you can get some really nice battery life out of this phone and while my first impressions were very positive and this thing looks great on paper it is missing a few key features like a headphone jack water resistance as well as wireless charging so we're gonna have to see how it all pans out once I get my hands on it but it's safe to say I am pretty excited for this phone I personally think this phone has a lot of potential and surprisingly it's gonna be hitting the market for $6.99 which is actually some pretty competitive pricing in the flagship market pre-orders should be live right about now and I'll of course have links down below in the description and November 17th is when it actually becomes available but even though I'm personally excited I want to know what you guys think are any of those missing features a deal-breaker for you guys maybe the price let me know your thoughts down below in the comment section but I'll catch you guys in the next one if you enjoyed this video be the cool guy or girl that gives it a thumbs up and I'll catch you guys in the next one till then is your average consumer basewhat's going on guys the Travers
