Razer Phone

The Razer Phone (code name: cheryl, stylized as RΛZΞR PHONE) is an Android-based phablet designed and developed by Razer Inc., released on November 15, 2017. While the device was designed mainly for mobile gamers, reviewers such as Engadget have noted that it is also good enough for everyday use.

As a result of Razer's acquisition of Nextbit in January 2017, Razer started developing its own phone. The Razer Phone, therefore, is very similar in design to the Nextbit Robin. Its fingerprint scanner and front camera's positioning is the same, and both phones have large bezels, although the Razer Phone is made of aluminum, unlike the plastic Robin.

In October 2018, Razer announced the Razer Phone 2 with numerous enhancements from the Razer Phone, such as improved screen and camera, wireless charging, and Razer Chroma lighting.

In February 2019, Razer confirmed that it had let 30 employees go and was shutting down several projects. It is assumed the Razer Phone 3 was among those projects canceled. Razer did confirm that it would continue to sell the Razer Phone 2 and that it remains committed to supporting the phone with the latest updates and features.

The Razer Phone's back is made of black aluminum with a chrome Razer logo. Special editions were released, one with a gold logo, and one with a green logo. The front glass is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3. The volume buttons are made of aluminum, and the power buttons are made of plastic.

It uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoC, coupled with 8 GB LPDDR4X RAM and 64 GB internal storage. The internal storage is expandable by a microSD card.

The display is a 5.7" 1440p IPS LCD panel with a 16:9 aspect ratio. Its highlighted feature is an "UltraMotion" 120 Hz display with Qualcomm's Q-Sync variable refresh rate, similar to Apple's second-generation iPad Pro. The quick refresh rate allows for gamers to play with almost zero latency.

The phone comes with two 12 MP cameras on the back, one wide-angle and one telephoto. The wide-angle lens features an f/1.75 aperture, while the telephoto lens offers f/2.6 aperture.
