Razer to release new gaming smartphone

Razer is once again upping the ante with their newest product. The gaming technology giant is due to release their second smartphone, which will have some huge upgrades from their first model. They’re looking to create a phone that will make gaming on the go a smoother and much more colourful experience, attracting tech-lovers and gamers everywhere. Anyone who is a PC gamer will recognise the “Razer” brand, and even those who aren’t particularly well-versed in PC gaming accessories will have seen one of their glowing LED keyboards at one time or another.



The Razer 2 will have a launch price of £779.99 and will contain the powerful Snapdragon 845 2.8GHz processor. With its 4000 mAh battery and wireless Qualcomm QuickCharge+ support, this gaming smartphone will have plenty of battery life to keep it up and running during any lengthy gaming sessions.



Perhaps one of the most notable features of this phone is its built-in vapour chamber cooling system. A vapour chamber is a method of cooling that takes heat pipes a step further and either incorporates them or replaces them entirely to multiply cooling power. They are typically used in laptops and PC towers to dissipate the heat that builds up when a CPU has been running for a long time. Rather than using separate pipes, as heat pipes do, a vapour chamber uses its entire body to cool the CPU. Its flat structure allows heat to be transferred evenly through a very small amount of space.



Razer’s newest smartphone will include HDR (High Dynamic Range) support, which is designed to heighten the dynamic range of an image. This gives more colour definition, allowing an image to have brighter whites and darker blacks. You’ll be able to create stunning photographs and shoot your videos in complete HD. The phone even has dual Sony IMX sensors to help you with your picture-perfect moments.



The Razer 2’s front camera supports 60FPS FHD video as well, which means no more lag or pixel-filled facetime chats; only super-smooth cam footage. Streaming from your mobile will never be the same again.



The smartphone will also be water-resistant and will include a dual camera with a 120 FPS video frame rate. The 5.7” display with its 120Hz screen will only amplify your gaming experience, as the phone’s designers have promised that the screen will be 50% brighter than its previous model, with a faster refresh rate and a 1440×2560 IGZO display. It should be noted that Razer is the only company offering a smartphone with a true 120Hz screen.



Of course, it’s not just a smartphone made for gaming. Its driver will be able to smoothly handle any work that you throw at it; making it perfect for your daily tasks as well as your mobile gaming sessions. You’ll enjoy an unparalleled mobile entertainment experience with Razer’s new flagship smartphone.



The Razer 2 features an illuminated Razer logo which is customisable with over 16.8 million colour options, so you can truly personalise your phone.
