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. A leaked render of what may be called the Razer Phone 2 has surfaced online and if it’s anything to go by, the upcoming Razer handset won’t bring any substantial design changes.

Razer is expected to launch the Razer Phone 2 in the coming months. A recent sighting on Geekbench revealed that the phone would be getting some minor upgrades, and now a listing on AnTuTU has more or less confirmed what we might be able to expect from the company’s second-gen gaming handset.

The Razer Phone was the first smartphone from the company best known for its gaming products and while it hasn’t said how well the device has performed in the market, it has subtly revealed that the successor to the device is now in development. The company has confirmed that the Razer Phone 2 is in development but hasn’t revealed a lot of details about it as yet.

Razer’s first mobile device is now finally available for purchase from Best Buy. The company has previously been selling this handset through its online store, Microsoft, and Amazon. The only way potential customers could try the handset before putting money down for it was by looking for a Microsoft retail store in their city. Now that the Razer Phone is available from Best Buy, the retailer will likely have models […]

Razer confirmed last month that it would release Android 8.1 Oreo for the Razer Phone in April. It has been a long wait for Oreo as the company is upgrading the device directly from Nougat since it decided to bypass the Android 8.0 Oreo release entirely. 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.

Earlier this month during CES 2018, Razer announced that they were working on some updates for their Razer Phone, one of which is that they will be bringing HDR support for Netflix onto the handset. The good news is that Razer Phone owners did not have to wait too long as the update is now here.

[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.

When Razer first announced their plans to launch a smartphone, it’s safe to say that there was some skepticism. However upon launch and based on the reviews, many were pleasantly surprised with its features, like its 120Hz display, its high-end performance, and also its design and construction.

So far based on the reviews, the Razer Phone appears to have been quite well-received, saved for a few areas that could be improved upon. Then again this is the company’s first phone and we expect that these are areas that will be improved at a later date. That being said if you are tempted by it, you’ll want to act fast.

When it comes to choosing a smartphone, there are many things to take into consideration, like display size, resolution, camera, and so on. However if there is one thing that users should probably also consider is the amount of RAM that comes included with the phone, because as the video above shows, the amount of RAM certainly has a huge impact on performance.

Some of us buy phones that will last us for years on end, while others buy the latest and greatest phones simply because they just want the best money can buy. If you’re the type that holds onto their phones for years, then chances are you’ll want something that can last, and the Razer Phone appears to be capable of holding its own.

When the Razer Phone was launched, many quickly picked up on the fact that just like quite a few handset makers out there, Razer has opted to drop the 3.5mm headphone jack on the phone. This meant that users who wanted to use headphones had to rely on either USB-C, Bluetooth, or use the USB-C to 3.5mm adapter.
