you know one thing we've proven in the smartphone space is that second time is a charm it's hard to make a great phone on the first round and it's about that time for the pioneer of gaming phones to show us their true potential party from New York City I'm hi I'm Eddie Vetter with parking man let's talk about the razor phone - last year razor told us that their first phone was designed for gamers this year the company strategy is to position the razor phone to as a flagship gaming phone this means that Razer wants to compete not just in the gaming space but also with flagships the result is a phone that looks a lot like its predecessor but it's not we now have a glass back that comes in two finishes either a mirror glass or a limited edition satin finish this solves the first complaint of users with the previous variant where the triple headed snake could not glow now it works in all of its 16.8 million colored glory and that actually varies depending on notifications the rest of the design closely resembles its predecessor but the speakers are actually ever so slightly smaller even if more powerful see everything in the speakers has changed to allow ip67 watering dust resistance to address this the company increases size of the speaker box in order to create a resonance chamber making audio richer in conjunction to the 24-bit DAC with Dolby Atmos support tucked inside we have a new Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor eight gigabytes of RAM 64 gigs of expandable storage a four thousand milliamp hour battery with quick charge for plus support qi wireless charging and razer is launching its own chroma colored fast wireless charger as an optional accessory to allow an even better gaming experience the razor phone 2 includes a new large vapor chamber cooling system allowing heat to dissipate across the whole chassis when gaming and high-intensity this is actually a similar technology to what the company has on its 15-inch laptops and razer promises zero lags when it comes to playing games we have a new 5.7 inch XO LCD at quad HD resolution 120 Hertz of refresh rate yes that's back and to solve last year's complaints the brightness is now doubled at 645 Mets this also continues to be the only phone certified for Netflix HDR content and it actually shows that this play looks really good and then powering the experience we have Android 8.1 Oreo with the same skin from last year powered by Nova prime the company claims Android Pi is coming soon but no dates were really provided so the experience so far with a couple of hours that we played with the phone looks really good and then finally to solve the biggest elephant in the room let's talk about the cameras Razer made a huge jump to Sony IMX sensors for this camera in order to fix the problems this includes oh is on the primary 12 megapixel sensor now with F 1.7 aperture and a secondary 12 megapixel camera deft 2.6 aperture and telephoto capabilities whether the company actually solve the problem or not will have to wait for a full review pricing begins at $7.99 for the mirror glass variant and if you want to go higher in storage or different color options the price gets deeper after that so yes this is the razor phone to let us know what you think in the comments down below and while you're at it make sure you follow us on social media subscribe to both of our channels English and Spanish for more videos like this one you can follow me on Twitter Jaime underscore to get on instagram @ hey Matt leave it on please give this video a thumbs up if you liked what you saw I'm hey Matt again I think so much for watching I'll see you on the next one
