Razer Phone 2 - I like my iPhone XS a little less...

2018-10-10
your guys johnathan here this is the razor phone too and if I'm being honest I think it made me like the iPhone 10s just a little less so last year razor kind of shook up the smartphone world and debuted their razor phone which kind of made a name for itself for that smooth delicious buttery 120 yards display and speakers that would blow your jean jacket right off your face so the razor phone too kind of took everything that was awesome about the original and amplified it's too soon real though the razor phone too is kind of like that no frills no holds barred no gimmicks if you ever wonder what phone Tim Taylor mr. t and Chuck Norris rock this will probably be it because it is that badass kind of a smartphone for starters that RGB logo are you kidding me that is so cool nope your eyes are not playing games with you that logo lights up and it is glorious Plus on top of that the beautiful thing is because it's RGB you can change that color to whatever you want so whether it's TLD blue that your average consumer or Dave 2d teal maybe you want that line as tech tips orange you can rock that on the razor phone too so maybe I'm a little too excited for that light up logo maybe you are as well let me know but I just think it's a cool way to kind of separate itself against the sea of smart phone notch land next from there something you really don't see on any smartphone out there period is that 120 Hertz display which is silky buttery smooth and honestly it's kind of one of those things that you don't really truly appreciate until you use it but once you do you're kind of like oh my goodness that display though on top of that silky smooth 120 Hertz refresh rate comes in at 5.7 inches and you notice razors kind of throw in middle fingers to pretty much every single smartphone trend out this year there's no knotch there's no weird 18 and a half by 9 resolution just straight-up 16 by 9 25 6 by 1440 and again no not to be seen now I realize it might be a little hard to see through video but last year one of the complaints with the original razor phone was that brightness just wasn't quite enough so this year razor actually upped that by 50% which is pretty huge from there yeah the display is great but the speakers those things will change your life honestly I've heard some good things about the pixel 3 I haven't heard that yet so until I hear that this is hands down the absolute best sounding speakers on any smartphone I've heard to this day they showcase it with his really awesome demo that I'll admit probably plays and skews with your mind a little bit with like the sound jumping and bouncing and ping pong and everywhere but no doubt this sounds fantastic so if you're someone likes to listen to music or watch movies or ideally play games and aren't the biggest fan of headphones likes to experience that music and sound out there in the open this is going to be next level just don't be that guy at the gym and the sauna playing Drake at full volume why everyone's trying to sweat and stretch put some headphones on keeping that thick boy beefy train rollin something really impressive with that razor phone too is that it's packing a four thousand milliamp hour batteries so if you want to play games and watch movies and listen music and be that guy listen to Drake out loud at least you can do that for extended periods of time what's that more beef I'm not done inside the razor phone 2 is 8 gigabytes of RAM so for everyone who's flipping out at that pixel 3 and its measly 4 gigs of ram by a razor phone too so you can make fun of the pixel users don't do that I'm kidding the pixel 3 is a great phone I'm excited we're in this amazing period of tech let's be happy a gigabyte so is a lot of freaking RAM like remember the days when computers were like maxed out with 4 we got 8 gigabytes on a smart phone so you got that display you get that battery you got them speakers I'm not done there though the razor phone 2 also has micro SD card expansion the base storage it's a little weak at 64 gigs but if you're a micro SD card warrior get excited you're gonna store all them lossless music files up to 1 terabyte on the razor phone to from there one of the coolest features of the original razor phone that made its way over to the follow-up is the location of the fingerprint reader right smack on the side perfectly placed where your thumb is one thing that was a little strange for me though as much as Razer didn't fall trends this year the fact that there is no headphone jack is a little puzzling I realized the headphone jack wasn't there last year but for being this high-end premium audio machine that is designed for gaming you would think a headphone jack would be essential there is a 24 bit DAC available through USB C but again experiencing something like that with a headphone jack on the v40 that kind of changed my mind if you're gonna have a headphone jack on a smartphone make that headphone jack sound really good with a deck I don't think it's a deal-breaker or a reason why you shouldn't buy the phone it's still going to be super awesome but it's just something I would like to see Razer go the extra mile on next one of the weakest points on the Razer phone last year was without a doubt the cameras this year though I'm excited it's supposed to be much improved on the back you have twin 12 megapixel shooters paired with an 8 megapixel shooter on the front and even though on paper it's supposed to be better it looks better I'm going to reserve true judgement until I get this phone in my hand and test it for myself because again specks on paper are one thing but I really want to see how good these cameras are when I get the phone lastly the razor phone two ships with Android 8.1 over yo but talking to razor there should be updates very very soon so if that was one thing I was holding you back with other smartphones out there if you're worried about being stuck on the last version of Android that shouldn't be a thing with the razor phone - so overall there is a ton to be excited about it's honestly a super exciting smartphone era right now we got tons of great things out I am stoked hopefully you guys are too if you are like me smash that like button maybe subscribe if you're feeling like double being awesome this is Jonathan and I will catch you guys later
