so remember my comment last week on the daily about seeing a product that I could not wait to share with everybody well it is about that time this is the razor phone probably one of the coolest products I've seen this year and also one that leaves me with the most amount of questions um hi metal even I was talking now and let's go hands-on at the time of my briefing my first question was why a gaming phone I mean I've seen Sony try and fail with the Xperia Play and NVIDIA is not so popular shield approach as well though remember these happened a few years ago Razer responded with some key elements to ponder first that the company only enters a market once it's ready for serious gaming and second that this device is made for gamers not just for gaming as such the razor phone looks a lot like a Razer gaming laptop meaning that it doesn't look like this huge dinosaur with claws like most gaming laptops do on the contrary the same black aluminum finish which sharp borders is here in its full glory this is a very commanding phone at 197 grams and unapologetically large at 158 millimeters tall 78 of width and 8 of thickness now this is one phone that you actually want to be large as remember it is a gaming phone made for gamers tiny details like the fingerprint enabled power button and the volume keys have all been centered to avoid yanking you out of your game by accidental key presses there are a few significant party tricks to boost your gaming experience as well for starters and borrowing from Razer laptops we have the same XO LCD technology on this 5.7 inch quad HD display their support for a wider color gamut and best of all this is the first display that I know of that supports variable refresh rate that can range from 20 Hertz to an insane 120 Hertz yes I set it right a hundred and twenty meaning it can remain basic with applications like Twitter or it can get crazy fast and fluid with graphics intensive games even cooler the refresh rate is frame for frame determined by the game and razor is already working with gaming developers to unlock their full potential second and disclaimer be sure to lower the volume of your device right now ready okay the speakers on this device are jaw-dropping each speaker has its own amplifier with a porch size increase when compared to the next bit Robin and tuned by both Dolby and Atmos and no there's no headphone jack to complement this audio but the USBC dongle does support a 24-bit DAC third are the internals we have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 a gigabytes of RAM 64 gigs of expandable storage and the whopping 4 thousand milliamp hour battery that can charge from 0 to 50 in 35 minutes with a bundled 24 watt charger that's now powered by the new Qualcomm quick charge 4.0 plus technology this 4.0 plus technology is all about increasing battery longevity by not exposing it to heat and speaking of heat on the phone razor has supported the same thermal dissipation technology of its blade laptop to avoid the need to throttle the processor when gaming gets intense fourth is the software you won't need to install Nova Launcher on this phone it already comes with a built in copy of Nova prime meaning all the flexibility of near stock Android is here with a few accents to remind you that you're carrying a product made by Razer I can tell you from a few hours of using this prototype that the phone is blazing fast you'll get Android 7.1.1 out of the box and the Oreo update will arrive on q1 2018 fifth and yes there are actually more party tricks Razer will be the launch partner of a couple of console quality games one of the partnerships us with Square Enix to bring the chapter 1 of Final Fantasy 15 and yes I mean the console version the other is with $0.10 to bring its honor of kings from China to the United States with the added kick that you can choose DC comic characters for the game bear in mind this is pretty much the biggest game right now in China six and most important believe it or not the price tag you can get all this phone for $6.99 unlocked and if you're asking yourself why you get so much on such an aggressive price tag well this phone is not exactly perfect we already covered the lack of a headphone jack which makes charging this phone while playing a game impossible the second is that this device is not water resistant which is already a common trait for phones price of that tear and last but not least I'm a little concerned about the cameras given razors use of a samsung ISO cell sensor but we hear that it's the same sensor that Samsung provided with the galaxy s7 variants so that should be a good thing this is a combo of a 12 megapixel primary sensor at F 1.7 aperture and the second is a 12 megapixel telephoto at F 2.6 razor claims that it's not doing any of that half-baked portrait mode but instead providing a fluid experience with zooming in and out the selfie cameras of 8 megapixels at f/2 so yes this is the razor phone pre-orders begin today and I don't think I've been so excited about a gaming device as I have today at least on paper and from my experience today this is definitely a lot of smart phone but our final verdicts on its ability to deliver will be determined in our full review coming very soon while that happens folks don't forget to follow us on social media and subscribe to our channel by hitting the button
