Razer Phone Unboxing - My New Daily Driver?

2017-11-02
some people say reform is here safe put that man in jail what does he think he is doing I'm responding to the will of the people the Nero is back oh my goodness I am back with a video that I am genuinely excited for this in front of me is an exclusive look at the very first phone from the company razor I don't even know how it ended up here but I've heard a little bit about this and I knew as soon as I could get my hands on it I wanted to because this is a phone that features something that no other phone has right now also it's the first foray into phones from a company famous for gaming equipment and more specifically I am at least my exposure has been to their gaming laptops which I have loved in here is the razor phone 64 gigabytes of internal storage the battery is 4000 milliamp hours now you know I'm a battery junkie four thousand milliamp hours from now on I set the standard USB type-c charging cable USB C audio adapter it's got a quick charger in the Box you don't need to buy it extra wink-wink nudge-nudge I don't even know how to wink that count sim eject tool and important product information guy now some other specs I know for a fact that this thing has 8 gigabytes of RAM most excitingly is the display that's the special feature that no other phone have whether you're watching movies in bed listening to music on your run or kicking virtual ass on your commute we're gonna have to bleep that cuz this is a family show you need a device that delivers breathtaking visuals cinematic audio and the power to last all day it has this aggressive angular design to it that is cold that is cold aluminum Razer logo on the back here Jul 12 megapixel cameras at the top I love a wide-angle lens on a regular camera I love it on a phone as well ok so before I turn this on I want to prep you with some exact specifications this device is the first on the planet with a 120 Hertz Ultra motion display it's also the world's first phone featuring Qualcomm quick charge point o + 8 gigabytes of ddr4 Ram 64 gigabytes u FS of internal storage and up to 2 terabytes max through microSD and all of that is powered up by a four thousand milliamp hour battery okay I'm gonna put this down for a moment and look at the other items in the box Oh looks like we have some paperwork here as well as what might be the world's coolest sim eject tool ever see that Jack the Razer branded sim eject tool a little Quick Start Guide and then also of course the Razer stickers to show your pride braided USB type-c cable type c2 mini jack adapter okay lastly we have I'm guessing the power brick yes and this is your Qualcomm quick charge 4.0 plus power brick with the razer branding on it you're gonna want to use the included charger to charge up super quick so here we go initial boot up there it is razer logo powered by android oooh nice little Razer animation so there you have the new 5.7 inch display a razer branded set up here which is nice my speculation i guess was correct i believe the power switch over here jack can you pick that up right there this is a power switch fingerprint this is the thing that everybody wanted Apple to do with the 10 so you didn't just have to rely on face unlock alright let's check out this fingerprint oh are you guys hearing that sound effect right now I'll ask my favorite unlock lock and unlock ever all-time it's got some games included by default titanfall mobile version World of Tanks a racing game alright let's check out the settings real quick some data about the phone so here we can see 1.5 gigabytes of 7.5 gigabytes of memory used Android 7.1.1 I've shown you a lot of stuff that's cool but this to me is the coolest the display supports a hundred and twenty Hertz refresh rate now you've seen this in gaming monitors you may have seen it in some tablets but never in a phone now interestingly by default the refresh rate is set to 90 Hertz on the device but it can go up to 120 so let's go ahead and do it and what you went oh my it's like instant now your eyes aren't gonna pick it up the way mine are because you're watching this you know through a video 24 frames per second but when you're scrolling a list there oh no lag at all now of course relying on the processing power of the device as well but what this means is that the display is just it has this more responsive attitude much like if you've ever seen the difference between 120 Hertz a 60 Hertz monitor then that's what this is like and and you feel it when you interact with it oh and for those of you wondering about resolution out-of-the-box 1440p it's at its max you can toggle that back to F HD 1080p you know I just noticed as well a very stock experience being provided here by Razer no no heavy skinned or anything like that camera jack is curious about the camera as am i so let's launch this open right now now the implementation on the rear camera it kind of leaves you guessing a little bit but that's part of the software it's the app at some point during the zoom you're switching over from the wide-angle to the zoom lens to the telephoto lens as I do so I'll show you here you're not really sure where you have switched to a digital zoom I mean you can kind of guess I guess it's about halfway across this is fully wide and then as I begin to zoom in and you can tell that your optical up into a point at which point digital zoom takes over so I kind of wish a dedicated button there to just pop into the other lens quickly you're pinching and zooming like you would otherwise even on a single lens system all right let's try the front one now front selfie time the beard hairs are on full display I have to say I am satisfied alright so we talked about the display in this incredible refresh rate but of course a display has to be good at displaying things first and foremost so let's boot up some YouTube here and see what the video quality looks like and also at the same time test out these stereo speakers which I've been told each unit has its own end for extra volume they might be the best speakers I've heard you guys probably can't tell cuz they're firing at me there's a little bass in them which is kind of crazy to say about a phone so far just hearing what I heard on the YouTube video I think it's gonna be pretty nice we'll see well it's the best speaker I've ever heard of smartphone that's it now you can tell there's been focus on the low end here because the phone it kind of vibrates a little bit from the thickness everybody else needs to reevaluate not only are these speakers loud but they're just thicker there's an attention on the lower end and they didn't over push them either to the point where it's like grinding and chewed up at the high end of the volume what can I say guys I can't hide it like I'm really into this phone I just like the matte black the masculine design the idea of a fingerprint sensor in the power switch that turns me on the idea of loudspeakers on a smartphone that turns me on the idea of the ultra-fast refresh rate that turns me on I mean there's just so much cool about this phone that I don't see in other phones I think the real deal breaker is still gonna be the camera and I'm gonna use it more extensively preliminary results look pretty good so far but to be quite honest I rarely will swap out my SIM card when a new phone arrives this one is instant its instantaneous my SIM card is gonna come out of my pixel right now and it's gonna go into this phone for a company to put out their very first device and hit something like this with no history in the phone game well done Bravo that's all I gotta say about it
