Trying the Razer Phone #Helpful Post

hey guys this is Austin and today I'm

here with something just a little bit

different this is the Razer foam so as

you guys can probably tell we're here at

the Razer HQ or we get to do an

exclusive unboxing of the new Razer foam

it was just announced so the idea here

is that this is going to be a phone that

is meant for gamers so now I just have a

pretty interesting screen which we'll

discuss in a minute but it has crazy

speakers you can also see it is kind of

built like a tank

look at that so if you guys are familiar

with next bit Razer purchased them a

little over a year ago you can see a lot

of that DNA in the Razer foam so it's

very sort of squared off but it also has

a nice sort of metal texture which feels

exactly like the sort of finish that

they have on their laptops so if you

take a look at the phone you'll see that

it does have fairly large bezels

although that does house dual front

firing speakers but what's really

impressive about this is the display it

has a 5.8 inch 2560 by 1440 p panel

what's really interesting is this can

run at a full 120 Hertz before we get

too far into it though let's see what

else comes in the box so we get some

paperwork on the razor phone we also get

the power adapter so this phone is using

USB C however what it doesn't have is a

headphone jack so to be fair they do

include a USB C headphone adapter in the

box and supposedly it's going to be

pretty good with a 24 bit DAC but the

problem is if you want actually play you

know a game listen to headphones you're

going to be doing something like this

it's not a deal-breaker but for a gaming

phone a little bit goofy however what is

cool as the speakers that are built into

the phone that's pretty loud so yeah I

think it's actually pretty safe to say

this is probably one of the loudest

phones I've ever heard I would still

like to have a headphone jack but that's

a decent compromise so just playing with

the phone for a few minutes I can

immediately tell that the ultra motion

display actually does make a pretty big

difference so the idea here is that

while it is a high resolution panel it

also can run it up to that 120 Hertz

refresh rate basically all phones that

you buy today are running at 60 Hertz

which has been standard for a long time

but once you step up to 120 Hertz it

actually is a lot smoother

so for basic stuff like web browsing or

scrolling through menus you can see that

does look a lot more fluid where you're

really going to see the advantage is in

games so for example here in Riptide

renegade we're running anywhere between

90 to 100 frames per second and because

the display is now like

to be variable refresh rate but it also

can wrapped 120 frames we're seeing all

of the performance here I've got to say

it actually does look noticeably

smoother than a normal phone it's maybe

not the biggest difference in the world

but you do notice that a little bit of

extra fluidity any game that has an

unlocked frame rate right now will work

out of the box on the razor phone with

these high refresh rates but even if it

is going to be locked at 60 Hertz you're

still going to get the benefits of

having that variable refresh rate so for

example if the frame rate drops a little

bit lower the screen is going to stay

with it exactly like something like free

sync orgy sync works on the desktop

inside the razor phone has about as high

in specs as you would imagine so it has

a snapdragon 835 processor a pretty

impressive eight gigabytes of RAM as

well as 64 gigs of storage and you can't

expand that via microSD and since this

is a phone that's meant for gaming it

does have a pretty sizable 4000 milliamp

hour battery and that's backed up with

Qualcomm quick charge 4.0 plus which

should recharge the battery by about 50%

in 30 minutes as far as cameras go

around back you get a pair of 12

megapixel shooters one wide-angle one

telephoto so somewhat similar to the

iPhone what you're getting here you can

get a pretty decent wide shot but if you

zoom in a little bit it switches

automatically to the telephoto just just

considering the world boom I've got that

Markel action I can't judge the camera

too much just yet but it seems to be

pretty decent as long as you have good

light like this now one thing I will say

is it would be nice to have a button to

switch between the wide angle and the

telephoto right now you you zoom in on

the camera app that automatically

switches so it does have an 8 megapixel

front facing camera but it looks a

little bit soft the razor phone is

available for pre-order starting today

and will be shipping on November 17th

for $700 so this guy's going to ship

unlocked or work on GSM carriers such as

AT&T; and t-mobile now some hundred

dollars is definitely a lot but

considering the specs especially

considering just how good the screen and

speakers are it might be worth a look if

you're interested in gaming which you

know if you want a razor phone you

probably are anyway what do you guys

think about the razor phone let me know

you in the next one
