what's going on guys Travers consumer and today we're gonna be spending a real day in the life with a razor phone too now if you've never seen one of my real day-in-the-life videos you're pretty much gonna be spending the day with me and the phone as we test out things like the performance gaming those new cameras and of course the battery life but spoiler alert the battery life that you'll see throughout this day doesn't tell the whole story so be sure to stay tuned for the wrap-up at the end to get a better picture but let's see how it did in the real world all right guys it's real day in the life time we are starting off of course at 100% and this time is 925 folks pretty early today for me anyway we're having a pretty early start but this is the audio and video quality that you can come to expect one thing I can see those that is a bit overexposed but it's doing the correct thing it's just I'm I'm black so it's kind of hard but we got a lot of stuff to do today guys so let's get started all right guys so now I am in the studio just to give you guys a battery update it's 1033 and we're at 87 percent battery now I was using the phone for a bit answering some emails I played a couple of games in my uber and just to let you guys know where we stand with screen on time it's not gonna be super accurate today because for some reason the phone randomly rebooted twice on me so that kind of reset the whole screen on time but before it rebooted I was I'm sure it was probably like about 10 minutes of usage so I'd say about 34 minutes of usage now there are some things that we have to factor in here I am using the logo so it is breathing actually it's not breathing I think it's cycling through the different colors and we also have it at 120 Hertz I feel like for the reason for them - you're gonna want those settings on so that's what we're dealing with today we're gonna see how much that impacts the battery okay guys so we actually shot a massive tech unboxing just now but I had to jump on the phone really quickly because we released a video while I was doing it so now it has to respond to some comments and I've been typing up emails since earlier this morning I gotta say the feel in the hand not bad and typing on it with one hand even though it is bigger phones this is fine that is also because it does have a smaller display this is a 5.7 inch display compared to all of these six inch displays that we're seeing nowadays this one just feels very comfortable to type on since it's a smaller display but it still looks very good we'll talk about the display more later but I'm going to finish up what I'm doing here in terms of responding to some comments and then it's gonna be some gaming guys I've got to do some more gaming on this thing so right now I am in an uber headed to the city I got a meeting to go to so it was the perfect time to pull this out play a couple of games and see how it does and in case you guys were wondering what games I've been playing lately Regalia lost has all of my attention right now and what's nice is that this thing is optimized for a 120 Hertz refresh rate so it actually looks really really smooth when playing on this phone but this is a really fun game guys it has a great soundtrack it's updated to work with this phone so is I've been really enjoying it so we're actually in the tunnel right now so now's the perfect time to show you guys what this game looks like and I don't think it translates well over video but man that 120 Hertz refresh rate it looks so good okay guys so I got where I needed to go and I will say after playing on this for a little while it does get a little bit warm that you know new system that they've got to cool their phones if you're expecting that to completely eliminate the heat that's not gonna happen and definitely still some heat but it isn't hot or anything definitely still fine to hold in the hand with no problem and I didn't see any slowdowns in terms of my gaming so so far it's not an issue but we got a lot more gaming to do all right guys so I finished my meeting now we're gonna head over to be an H but we got to give you guys a quick battery update and it is currently 251 and we've got 68% left and give you guys an idea screen on time so an hour and 21 minutes now any other phone I would really get on them about this kind of battery life but I've been playing a lot of games and there are in New York but there are a couple of factors to keep into consideration like this logo the 120 Hertz display of course I think in my wrap-up I'll let you guys know just how much these little touches add in terms of battery drainage but as of today we're going all out and it's having a severe hit and guys this wouldn't be a real day in the life if I did not play some sonic forces try to get my race on dang I'm just all every time I play this game it makes me look at that oh yeah guys I do wish that this thing took advantage of the 120 Hertz display because it looks so good when you're playing games with that refresh rate honestly that's like I'm so spoiled by agile Galia lost right now I won the race that means this phone is the best phone in the world you just got to go buy it all jokes aside though this phone is like super comfortable to play games on now I would be freaking out if I were using another phone because of this glass back being outdoors where there's concrete possibility of dropping it that all freaks me out with no case but like I said the foam is actually pretty comfortable to use in the hand I think because of these hard edges it's just easy to grasp so that's something that gives me a little bit more confidence when I'm outside I didn't really have to worry about it slipping out my hand and falling even though this glass bag is very slippery like if we had this thing just laying on a table it would probably slide around because it is kind of slippery in the back but these edges didn't make a big difference all right guys so playing someone could all Pokemon go my boy Malcolm over here you know he's been playing on the iPhone for a while and I have you you haven't seen one 120 Hertz gaming have it actually so I want you to all Piplup try and catch mine and see the difference oh [Laughter] it's different so the difference between a 120 Hertz display versus the regular display to everyone else uses its massive guys you notice it as soon you gotta like spin it really fast and you let the world know you can't play this game well okay you caught it so that that works that works night and day man it's night and day and we're in B and H guys this place is just amazing being surrounded by all kinds of tech you got laptops you got all other tech over here you got cameras it just never ends guys so we are in the photography section got my boy Malcolm over here we are going to try and get a picture of him over here so let's see I'm gonna just do a regular shot looks very green I mean this is definitely usable a little soft portrait mode is a tighter shot this is kind of bad to be honest yeah look how soft this is in comparison looks like everything is just kind of blurry but when you go over here you get a lot more detail with a regular photo maybe we'll try that one outside all right guys so we left B&H I got my man Damon over here he stopped mean watches the videos so I figured why not try out the front-facing camera take a selfie with him so we kind of get an idea of what that quality is like let's see what we got now this is a properly exposed photo some parts are a little bright but for us brothers it came out pretty clear yeah so it's not so bad yeah can't complain about the quality looks pretty good so now that was some sunlight we're gonna continue taking some pictures we got some flowers up there put a little street signs some got some colors going on let's take a picture of this one and I'm also gonna do HDR so the normal shot actually looks pretty good you see down here at the lower ends a little dark but I can still see detail I'll see the HDR oh snap now Ichiro looks way better here you see way more detail in the plant and then you can't over here it's a lot darker now this isn't a bad camera or anything I definitely think it gets the job done but when you start comparing it to other flagships especially just coming off the pixel 3xl you do see some imperfections HDR no HDR oh you're boring alright so we just took a couple of pictures of Malcolm - I did HDR and regular regular shot looks ok the harsh sun is on his face so got to be a little forgiving for that but when it comes to the actual HDR shot I don't know they just really really brightened his face I prefer the regular shot over the HDR shot to be honest HDR definitely seems to be one of those settings that you don't want on all the time if a situation calls for it like the flowers that I took a picture of right there sure but it's not a setting that you just leave on alright guys I think I've been gaming way too much we have 22% battery left Malcolm has came and made me play pokemon go all day kill the battery light so let's see if we can give you guys a screen on time update so we got 22% lap and we've been using the phone for two hours and I say about 45 minutes so almost three hours and the phone's almost dead of course we were gaming on it all day so in terms of performance with gaming it's been able to hold up even though the phone did get a little bit warm I didn't see any drop frames or if slowed down at all so no lag or anything like that so that means the cooling must be working but now we've got okay guys so I just have like the scariest experience ever you guys know the gadget backpack I have it right here as you can see I'm alone now I actually headed back to Jersey with my guys but I forgot my backpack at the restaurant so I had to run back to the city and grab my backpack in the restaurant thankfully it was still there but by now the razor phone has lost a substantial amount of battery and is at 8% but it is 8:42 p.m. so it did last the whole day so I can't really complain about that and I did a lot of gaming but I'm not gonna lie to you guys I'm actually still impressed that it is still up and running so let's see what I actually got so I got three hours three straight-up hours of screen on time and I put this thing through its paces today I did a ton a ton of gaming use GPS to even get to the actual restaurant you guys saw it a lot of stuff alright guys so I'm finally back home I had about 6% when I put this on the charger and I had it on here for about 30 minutes and I have exactly 56% so even with a four thousand milliamp hour battery 30 minutes was able to get two thousand milliamp hours worth of juice in here so yeah pretty good faster charging so you guys can get a little idea of the speakers i got some thor ragnarok over here check this out my stereo speakers and honestly it just sounds so so good so you guys can hear for yourself this thing is so loud and it honestly performs as well as you'd want it to of course with these giant grills we definitely want this to sound good Harry actually made some complaints over on Twitter about these speakers but they they do a really good job and that was pretty much our day now we did end up with three hours of screen on time but I will say that is with the highest consumption with the chroma logo in the back and of course the phone being at 20 Hertz at all times now I did some more testing of course and when I brought the settings down I saw a drastic difference in battery life bringing the display to a 90 Hertz refresh rate and the medium setting for the chroma logo got me 6 hours of battery life which is double what we saw during that day now this is where Razer offers something really cool with the core-tex app not only can you find games that are tailored to work well with the Razer phone but you also have access to your entire library so you can jump into your games right from the app but what makes this app special is the game booster section and what's great about the game booster section is that even though I had the phone running at like medium settings I could go inside and fine-tune how I want the phone to run with each and every game that I had so if there's a game that could take advantage of the 120 Hertz refresh rate I can set it to that and the game didn't support it I can bring down that setting I could even fine-tune the clock speed of the processor as well as the resolution so you get a lot of control here for each and every game and I really like that because you can have some games running full throttle and if a game didn't require all that maybe something like candy crush you can bring down the settings so that it's not using up too much energy now we talk about performance and gaming and this thing definitely excels at that but we're also is really strong is of course with regular media consumption it's got a great looking screen with powerful speakers so watching content is a joy although I will say I wish the display where brighter it is a bit on the dim side so I do wish it had a little bit more brightness to it just so that we could enjoy quite a bit more now I think I walked away feeling like the razor phone felt pretty nice in the hand texting on it was not a problem doing whatever I needed to do wasn't an issue it's not a very big screen as 5.7 inches I think that's a pretty decent sized screen but one thing I will say some people will have some discomfort with the back because it is a glass back but at least with that glass back you do get wireless charging a razor actually introduced a Croma wireless charger the thing is awesome I like the way it looks I love the chroma effects I'm a big RGB fan so this thing looks great to me I know not everybody is but I'm glad they made it now when it comes to the camera there's definitely improvements compared to last year still not a top-ranking camera for me but it does have better dynamic range than last year and it also lacked a bit of sharpness in my opinion portrait mode is not some I would suggest using it just honestly didn't look that good to me but overall the camera is improved and I noticed in my original RAZR phone wheel day-in-the-life a lot of people said they didn't care about the camera so if you gamer phone lovers are still with that sentiment then this is not gonna be a big deal only an improvement so there's that but overall guys if you're big on mobile gaming and content consumption this is the right phone for you under the chroma logo in the back I think looks awesome I love the fact that you can customize it and change the colors kind of match what you're wearing I like having that flexibility I think it adds a really nice touch to this phone how many of you out there are mobile gamers who take their gaming seriously I personally like what I saw with the gaming on it and I was very happy with my experience but at $800 let me know what you guys think I think if you're a big gamer is definitely worth looking into but that about wraps it up for this video guys hopefully you enjoyed it if you did be the cool guy or girl that gives us video thumbs up I'll catch you guys in the next one till then it's your average consumer base
