Razer, one of the major gaming companies in the world, is finally entering the smartphone market. The company that is also involved in the manufacturing of high-powered gaming laptops will be launching a new gaming smartphone. The smartphone has outstanding specs. It’s so powerful that it could easily beat the iPhone X, Samsung’s top smartphones, and even the Google Pixel 2 in terms of performance.
Although this phone is primarily designed for video games, its features are quite tempting even for people who may not necessarily use it for gaming. But there is another important thing – it will cost only $700. This is way cheaper compared to many top smartphone brands in the market at the moment.
So, what are some of the features that make this Razer smartphone the talk of the town?
Let’s start with the screen. The phone features a 5.7 inch Quad HD display with 2K resolution and an all-aluminum case. The processing power is simply outstanding. The smartphone has a Snapdragon 835 processor from Qualcomm. This is actually the same powerful chip that you’ll find on the latest Galaxy smartphones and Google’s Pixel 2. The 8GB RAM coupled with the 64GB internal storage capacity make the phone one of the most powerful smartphones.
But there is more. The Razer smartphone will feature high-end sound with its dual front-facing speakers. You will also get an 8 MP front camera, a 4,000mAh battery, and a fingerprint sensor on the power button. If you are in the market for a new smartphone, the features offered by the Razer device could easily rank as the best out there.
But because this phone is primarily designed for gamers, let’s look at some of its gaming features. The first thing to note is the 120-hertz refresh rate for outstanding gameplay, allowing gamers to play games or videos at 120 frames per second. By contrast, the upcoming Microsoft Xbox One X will allow you to play games at 60 frames per second. This is basically half of what is offered by the Razer smartphone.
Despite these great features, the phone still lacks a number of features that you’d find on a mainstream smartphone. The phone is not water resistant, it lacks ultra-narrow borders on its display, and most importantly, it does not have an OLED screen. It also lacks the standard headphone jack.
The great thing about this phone, however, is the cost. It’s a great bargain at $700, especially when you consider all the features that it offers. It doesn’t matter whether you are a gamer or not, this smartphone is definitely worth a look. Razer has announced that interested customers can pre-order it. The phone will be available from November.
