Razer Phone 2 - A Entertainment and Gaming Beast


I am sure that Razer doesn't need any introduction at all since they are already very well-known. 
Last year, Razer released their Gaming phone - Razer Phone which has all the high-end specs like 120GHz refresh rate LCD screen, awesome front facing sound and very lightweight OS but hit or miss camera feature or lack of IP 68 water resistance rating.

This year, Razer announced their latest phone - Razer Phone 2.
Let us see what changes have they made below. 

1. Gaming/Performances.


It offers up to 30 percent performance boost than its predecessor, thanks to the latest flagship component and thermal cooling solutions. Using Snapdragon 845 and Qualcomm Adreno 630, it can handle all your tasks without any issue at all. With its Razer vapor chamber cooling system that provides for industry-leading thermal cooling. 

You can play your PUBG/Fornite without worrying about it getting very hot.

2. Camera



The Razer Phone 2 improves on its imaging capabilities with a new rear dual camera setup that offers 12MP wide-angle lens with Optical image stabilization (OIS) and a 12MP telephoto lens with 2x zoom. Be it fast action or low-light, the Sony IMX sensors are tuned to produce low-noise images with a wide gamut of colors.

The front has a 8 MP camera supports video streaming at Full HD resolution which definitely will attract those live-streaming professional. 

Lastly, with the new user interface which allows for easy one-handed operation for portraits and scenic panoramas. ( This is important because of the user giving feedback that the camera app was quite bad. )

3. Battery and Amazing 120GHz with a brighter screen


Unlike other competing phones, the Razer Phone 2’s 5.7-inch UltraMotion™ IGZO display remains the only display in the industry that offers both 120 Hz screen refresh and 120 Hz touch sampling. What you see is what you touch. At the same time, the screen is 50% brighter than the previous razer phone.

Additionally, with a huge battery (4000mAh) for all-day gaming and entertainment needs, and Razer continues to improve its battery efficiency. Where its predecessor was benchmarked for 10 hours of battery life at a screen refresh rate setting of 90 Hz, the Razer Phone 2 is optimized to also last 10 hours at a higher 120 Hz1.

The phone is also certified by Netflix for HDR video content and Dolby Surround 5.1 audio Content.
How cool is that? You can fully immerse into the show with this phone. 

4. Dual Speaker, IP67 Rating and Wireless Charging



The reason why Razor 1 wasn't water resistance rating was due to the large front facing speaker. However, thanks to their amazing team, they are able to achieve the IP67 rating with front-facing speaker still! 

The dual speaker consists of Dual Amplifier / Dolby Atmos technology and you are able to use USB-C adapter in the box that is equipped with 24-bit DAC for your handphone jack.

Furthermore, shifting from the metal back to a glass back enable the phone to be wireless charging enabled. AWESOME!

5. MY FAVORITE - Razer Chroma.



The Razer Phone 2 is now powered by Razer Chroma, the world’s most popular RGB lighting system for gamers.

The rear of the phone features the Razer triple-headed snake logo that glows in 16.8 million colors to provide app notifications (such as Facebook comments or WhatsApp messages). Razer Chroma also allows you to customize lighting effects such as Static, Spectrum Cycling and Breathing.

Blue snake logo, here I come!!!

6. Conclusion

The pricing would be USD $799, as for the carrier, we have no news yet but I would be guessing it will be on Singtel once again. 

I have briefly used Razer phone 1 before and I must say, the 120GHz screen is really really amazing. Go to any Singtel shop and try it kay.
