Razer Phone 2 rumor review: specs, new features and price expectations
The new Razer Phone 2 is coming October 10th, that much is clear. While some aspects of Razer’s new gaming phone are all but certain, others seem to still be up in the air. Razer isn’t exactly a mainstream brand when it comes to smartphones, but its computer peripherals and gaming laptops have created a dedicated fan base that’s looking forward to the new release, wondering if they’ll be putting a new phone in their pockets soon.
So, what exactly do we know about it so far? Let’s start with the interesting part first: what will be different from the previous model.
A more powerful chip
Following the logical path of succession, the Razer Phone 2 is coming with the Snapdragon 845 mobile platform on board. Not only was the Snapdragon 845 present on an AnTuTu benchmark for the Razer Phone 2, but Razer Global’s vice-president, Chen Xiaoping said himself in an interview earlier this year that the new Razer smartphone will be powered by Qualcomm’s latest high-end chip, which at the time of the interview, as well as now, is the Snapdragon 845.
Some confusion was caused recently by a Google Play certification, submitted by Razer, showing the Razer Phone 2 listed with the Snapdragon 835.
It's likely caused by some sort of miscommunication between Razer and Google, so we shouldn't pay too much attention to it.
If you're still harboring any hopes that the Razer Phone 2 will jump straight to the Snapdragon 855, it's time to put them to rest. The new chip isn't coming soon enough for Razer to use it.
Better cameras (fingers crossed)
Rumors about the cameras on the Razer Phone 2 are pretty much nonexistent. But if there’s one thing that leads us to believe the Razer Phone 2 will have improved cameras, it’s that the overall camera experience on the first model was largely disappointing and was considered one of the phone’s biggest flaws. There’s a lot of room for improvement and Razer better make use of it.
Chroma LED technology
A new feature that’s rumored to appear in the second-generation Razer Phone is support for Razer’s own RGB software, called Chroma. This suggests the new phone will have an improved LED notification light, or even some kind of LED strips that can be synchronized with your music, games or videos, for a more colorful experience. Razer is notorious for its RGB enabled products that even include a mouse pad, so including its phone in the line-up makes perfect sense.
Storage
It’s not clear if the Razer Phone 2 will come with several storage options, but the model seen on the leaked benchmarks shows 512 GB of storage, a huge increase over the 64GB that were on the first one. If we’ve learned one thing from other phones with 512 GB of storage (Galaxy Note 9, iPhone XS), it’s that this luxury doesn’t come cheap. It's likely that Razer will offer two, possibly three storage options: 64 GB, 128 or 256 GB and 512GB. The previous model supports micro SD cards, but the improved storage could be a sign that the new phone will lack that option.
Touchpad on the back!? (fake)
While we'd love to see phone manufacturers experiment with different features, this rumor is closer to wishful thinking.
A 3D render that's supposed to show the back of the Razer Phone 2 with a touchpad on it recently emerged from a mysterious source. And while the render that started the rumor is clearly fake, picturing a new Razer Phone that has touch sensitive area on the back for added gaming controls doesn't require a big stretch of the imagination.
The feature will perfectly fit a device like the Razer Phone 2, allowing you to use your index finger for certain functions and potentially leaving more display real estate thumb-free. You might even use it to scroll through pages, so it's definitely not an absurd addition, but it's an unlikely one at this point.
We can only hope that Razer proves us wrong, but this one's a dud on our list.
What we expect to remain the same
Not everything needs to change from generation to generation and Razer has a lot of features in its current phone that will serve owners of the Razer Phone 2 equally well. Here are some of them:
