The Phones Show 323 (Razer Phone) By Steve Litchfield

Now here we go watch listen play is the opening shot of razors promo picture? This is the eponymous razor phone we've seen a number of phones aimed at gamers in the past, usually with gimmicky extra controls or savage compromise, but the razor phone is only one, and I'll come to that in a moment. What you need to know is this is arguably the highest specified Android phone in the world right now: snapdragon 855, chipset, 8, gigabytes of RAM, four thousand William hour battery 64, Gig storage, plus micro SD, a 5.7 inch HD wide color gamut display with a refresh rate that goes up to 120 Hertz for compatible games, as the Racer CEO put it 120. Hertz is insane, of course, there's limited game content. They can actually use this refresh rate so that you do get unlisted arena of Valor Final Fantasy, 15 gear Clubs, an ultra hunt, all taking advantage of it and all full games available actually out of the box as part of the razor bundle. That's pretty impressive. Really.

Other games, of course, will increase the port as time goes on. This is where you call future proofing. The screen there, the refresh rate, is actually varied by app and according to need. Apparently, it's certainly super smooth to my eyes just scrolling around the UI. It's also synced to the GPU and its system, dubbed ultra motions I'm seriously impressed in the screen itself is LCD.

It is more muted than we're used to seeing on recent AMOLED screen phones. Also, the brightness doesn't quite go as high as I'd like it to, but again this helps enormously with battery life, especially when your paint playing a big big game. Now, if special interest to me was the speaker system, stereo front-facing would dedicate that requires bridge components and the cracks upper for volume Oh with added, don't act, smart processing. The idea is to provide cinematic central video content as here and to games, and it works pretty darn well, and this was a Boyer way, a teenage guitarist. He was really rather phenomenal.

This is on the marshal London, significantly quieter, I'd, say about half the volume, maybe slightly better pop some end, but I'm really impressed volume. Wise I think we have a new champion this. The volume on this razor stone is just phenomenal. I tried turning the Dolby off and the Ross speakers themselves on anywhere near as low the Dolby isn't really to bring in the speakers to life here. The compromise I mentioned earlier is that there's no 3.5 mm headphone jack, which is an odd move for a phoned aimed at gamers who are so beloved of their headsets. But if the speakers are good enough, also the DAC in the dongle in the Box is a 24 bit DAC really high-quality.

Maybe my ears are beyond telling the difference, but it's nice to know. That's there, just don't lose it, or you go wireless with Bluetooth. Of course, control positioning is good and interesting in this somewhat blocky phone to avoid accidental presses, while using the razor phone in landscape mode, its natural orientation, the volume and power buttons are all centralized. The materials used aluminum all over with antenna bands set into the back quite neatly here. The speaker, grilles are plastic, but I think that's to allow RF signals through the front of the front of the phone.

The razor phone won't match. Other flagships like the Dougan pixels for imaging, but it's no slouch either a dual 12 megapixel Sampson sensor. Camera arrangement includes a genuine 2 x, telephoto lens, just as on the Galaxy Note 8 there, my time with the Rays, it was limited, just the handful of shots here more to come. No doubt in the future. The interfaces kept simple with a licensed copy of Nova prime providing a stock is Android 7.1.1 interface, an update, android 8, is planned though I bet it's not there's lots to do in terms of drivers for the special screen and audio hardware. This is no trivial Oreo rollouts battery life will be good in normal use, though, even that massive for fairs and William hours will take a pounding.

If you crank up the screen and processor for media and gaming alone, so it really depends on why you want to race a phone charging this by Qualcomm quick charge for plus the plus bit refers to the integration of Joule charge circuits, intelligent thermal balancing, advanced safety features, apparently anyway, safer and about 30%, more efficient than standard quick charge for point naught Wow. In short, it's big! It's black, it's heavy, and it's cold metal. It's typical razor, no frills high-end hardware, and it's a how we love the companies is the razor phone, and I'll have more on this, a full review, probably in a month or so time. You.
