5 Things You Need To Know About The Razer Phone By GameSpot
Razors phone isn't a gaming phone per se, but it is a device built for gamers. As a result, it breaks unprecedented ground in a few areas, but falters and others I'm here to walk you through the top five things you should know about the razor phone. The razor phone uses a 5.7 inch 2560 by 1440 P display. This is the same resolution that many high-end gaming monitors use, and it looks really sharp. What really makes it unique, though, is the fact that it features a variable refresh rate, that's similar to sync or free sync, and it can scale up to 120 Hertz. Most other phones are locked to 60.
It may be hard to tell from this video, but this makes game play and even basic scrolling look. Super silky smooth, really have to see it in motion to know what I'm talking about. It's really refreshing to see razor break into a mature market here and disrupt a bunch of leading phone manufacturers like Apple, Google and Samsung. One downside here is that it doesn't use an OLED panel, like many other flagships and obsolete an IPS LCD. Instead, this means that it doesn't feature true black levels that OLED displays offer which might be a deal-breaker to some, but unfortunately they don't make 120 Hertz OLED panels in terms of specs, the razor phone uses top-tier Android parts, it's equipped with Qualcomm's leading Snapdragon 835 SOC, coupled with a massive 8 gigabytes of RAM, to put things into perspective, that's twice as much RAM as Google's flagship, pixel, 2 XL.
It also has a huge 4000 William hour battery. That is more than capable of lasting a typical day. All it comes with 64 gigabytes of built-in storage. It thankfully allows you to install a micros card, so you can expand it up to 2 terabytes. Why can't other flagship phones do the same? The razor phone has an 8 megapixel f/2 front-facing camera, coupled with 2 cameras on the back.
One is a 12, megapixel, wide-angle and there's another 12 megapixel zoom. The bad news is that the cameras are pretty bad overall. They make images, look much too soft and lack image clarity. In addition, the back cameras oddly shoot almost everything in a forced portrait mode, so that only a certain part of the image will be in focus its confusingly bad software updates could potentially address some of these issues, but if you're looking for a great camera on your phone, I'd focus elsewhere from now, the razor phone has two large bezels at the top and bottom, but I don't really mind them, because the company is squeezed in some amazing speakers here. As a matter of fact, I'd say they are the best phone speakers currently on the market, they're good enough to replace small, cheap Bluetooth equivalents.
The razor phone is rocking Android nougat 7.1.1, with the clean Nova Launcher skin. It also comes with different Racer themes. You can download, along with additional settings, allow you to optimize battery life over performance and vice versa. Racer tells me it plans to update the phone to android 8.0 Oreo in q1 next year, but it hasn't laid out an update roadmap beyond it. So that was five things you should know about the racer phone.
