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 in the comments below and I will catch you in the next one
