The Razer Phone has been launched in the United States and Europe to some rave reviews on Nov. 1, 2017.
Razer is a US- and Singapore-based gaming accessories company.
It is seeking an initial public offering (IPO) that will make its CEO, Singaporean Tan Min-Liang, a billionaire, giving the 39-year-old a net worth of more than US$1.2 billion.
Here is the video showcasing the phone:
Here are the specs with some commentary:
• 5.7-inch 1440p screen (Smooth graphics)
• 8GB of RAM (Quite common for high-end Android phones)
• 64GB of expandable storage (Okay)
• Stereo front-facing speakers with Dolby Atmos support (Appeals to audiophiles)
• 4,000mAh battery (Generous)
• Qualcomm Quick Charge 4 technology (Recharging less of a hassle)
• Snapdragon 835 processor (Quite normal these days)
• Dual 12-megapixel camera system on the back: One camera has an f/1.8 lens for wide shots and the other is a telephoto f/2.6 shooter (Works along the same lines as Apple’s iPhone setup)
• Absent headphone jack (A bit strange)
• Has THX-certified audio dongle to attach headphones for 24-bit audiophile-quality sound (A bit ugly)
• Software: Android Nougat 7.1.1 with Google Assistant (To be expected)
• Premium version of the Nova Launcher preloaded (Very customisable)
• Overall look is black and blockish (A bit ugly)
• US$700 in US/ €750 in Europe/ £700 in the UK sold directly from Razer’s online store or Amazon.com (High-end Android market)
• Asia launch plans to be announced at a later date
