The prices of our gadgets seems to be increasing these days, which means that replacing them can be rather painful on the bank account.

A couple of days ago there were reports that some Razer Phone 2 owners were having trouble trying to use certain features of their phone on Verizon’s network. It turns out that this might have been due to a certification problem where the handset had not been certified by the carrier yet, so calls and messages sent over LTE had some problems.
The recently launched Razer Phone 2 is compatible on Verizon’s network, or at least that’s what its website claims. Heck, even Razer’s CEO announced on stage that the phone would play nicely with Verizon’s network, but yet there are some Razer Phone 2 owners who have run into trouble activating the handset on the carrier’s network.
Razer’s first smartphone was launched last year and it was branded as a gaming device. The company recently confirmed that it’s working on a successor to its original gaming phone.

Razer confirmed last month that it would release Android 8.1 Oreo for the Razer Phone in April.

Razer Phone owners will now be delighted to know that the company has started rolling out Android 8.1 Oreo for their device over-the-air.
Despite having been released months ago, for some reason the Razer Phone has yet to receive its Android Oreo update. However we suppose better late than never because in a tweet by the company’s account, they have confirmed that the Android Oreo update will be released for the handset in April 2018.
If you’d like to buy a more blinged out version of Razer’s first smartphone, then it has launched just the thing for you. The company has announced the launch of its “Limited Gold Edition” Razer Phone. There’s nothing different about the internals, it’s the same Razer Phone that has been out for months, but it has received a minor cosmetic change to justify that limited edition tag.
[CES 2018] So far for the most part, the Razer Phone has received some pretty great reviews (save for some complaints regarding its camera quality). It seems like it is truly a phone designed for entertainment, and if you do use it from time to time to stream Netflix, you’ll be pleased to learn of an upcoming update.
