Razer announces gaming-focused "Razer Phone" announcement, benchmark reveals specs

Razer and Phones?
FOR GAMING EXPERIENCE
lol

 

I'm a huge fan of Razer. So waiting
It's Razer!

 

K good.

 

Oh yeah Razor

 

how can one be a HUGE fan of razer products?
the hardware might sometimes be worthwhile or even great, but prices are WAY over the top and the software is basically down right trash. synapse is a fkn trainwreck compared to what logitech offers.

 

Now we will be able to run those shitty clones that exist on the entire Play Store at 60 fps! THANKS RAZOR!!!

 

like these games that eat 2,2 GB on your damn phone

 

How many of the gaming concepts Razer was going on and on about was ever actually released? Remember Switchblade? Remember Razer Artemis? I'm not holding my breath for this one.

 

I'm hardly an expert, but 8 cores and 8GB ram in a phone seems like overkill to me. Are there even any phone games worth playing that use anywhere near that amount?

 

Isn't 8GB of RAM overkill? Sure, those benchmarks are churning out a 20% increase in FPS over the Pixel 2 XL, but in terms of real-world performance it's still only a couple frames per second, and the added cost would be ridiculous.

 

The only thing I could think of was dolphin, but other than that, not really. Pretty much anything I want to run on my Nexus 6p works fine.

 

dolphin anywhere
that would be cool

 

It already kinda works, it just needs a lot more optimisation, some more power from mobile devices and they really need to work out the controller situation

 

You're thinking in terms of PCs, where all cores are equal. In reality, most of the extra cores in ARM are low-power, lower-frequency cores dedicated to background tasks during sleep, etc. Some mobile CPUs might dedicate cores to the GPU too, but honestly I don't follow the mobile scene enough to know what's up anymore.

 

Your best bet for dolphin on the go right now would be the gpd win (I think that's what it's called)

 

Will it have 400 buttons for my macros?
Cuz apparently buttons = gaming for Razer.

Also do I need to keep my phone connected to the internet to use it?

oh and lets place our bets for the price.
I'm gonna ballpark it at $2500 but that might be a tad generous if Razer keeps it that low for one of their piece of shit products.

 

Just because I am. I love it and will love it

 

Good ol' Razer, where you'll spend 10x the price for pretty green $1 LEDs. If this phone doesn't glow green and cost $5000, I'll be surprised.
