Another Android-based cloud gaming handheld has entered the fray. Following the reveal of Logitech's G Cloud Handheld, Razer has given more details on its previously teased portable device, now called the Razer Edge. It offers a 6.8 inch 144Hz 2400x1080 AMOLED display, with a 3Ghx Snapdragon G3x CPU, and looks like a tablet that is docked into the Razer Kishi Pro V2 controller. Razer is marketing the Edge as a primarily cloud-based gaming handheld, and while it'll initially launch with only a WiFi version, a 5G version will be available, with further details to come at a later date. The WiFi version of the Edge will retail for $399.99, and will launch in early 2023.

Why fuck razer though....

Bad quality, like really shitty quality.

Bad quality, like really shitty quality.

With what, though? Been rocking their mice for the past few years and it's a complete 180 from what they were pumping out a decade ago. Not a fan of their audio solutions, but mice and keyboards are top notch. Aside from the price points..

Looks nice and that but i definitely wouldn't pay that much for a android powered device.....

Their mice dies and when you want support, they turn a blind eye.
A for some reason thought "Lets buy one of their keyboards" and it ghosted like no ones business. No firmware patches or driver updates fixed that POS. Bought a Corsair and it worked flawless.

EDIT: So no, I haven't had a pleasant Razor experience.

I'm interested on how it would perform with Switch emulation.

From the looks of it, on raw power alone, the same, mostly?
I'm not really informed about emulators on Android.

But if they have any degree of intelligence, they'll make it compatible with Linux.

Oh, makes sense. I replace through Best Buy if I have issues. It's funny because I've had worse luck with Corsair.

Hehe to each their own. It's like me and MSI. I think MSI hates me. Each time, more or less exactly when the warranty ends. Poof, the product dies. My poor GPU and my poor Motherboard :<

To be fair, I mostly go with Logitech on Keyboard and Mice.

So I stick with Asus mostly of late with those products.

A new razer darkstalker, a new flop that will be abandoned. The chip looks good, it's a slightly tuned SD 8gen1, good for emulation, but this cloud marketing will kill it, also this price, 400 dollars for an arm android locked device, with that price you pick a deck that's powerful, x86 and all open software wise.

Android gaming will never evolve, because it's become the cesspit for singleminded businessmen who want to put the oxygen we breathe behind a lootbox if they could legally get away with it.

It'll also never evolve because everything has to run on the "free carrier phone" for maximum monetization, and phone makers are still selling devices in this current year, that can't even run Pokemon go as an example.

With only garbage tier mobile games and streaming through laggy wireless networks, something like this just cannot compete.

Anyone get the feeling someone (a bunch of someones) just misread the specs for the Steam Deck a year and change ago, that now it's just too late for them to admit it?

 

[susbaconhairman]

Fuck cloud gaming, just get a steam deck.

Bad quality, like really shitty quality.

More bad quality control than outright bad quality. I used a Razer Naga for around 9 years before I started having an issue with right-clicks being doubled. I've been using a Razer Black Widow for about as long and haven't had any issues so far. Their stuff can be good, it's just a total crapshoot.

 

[CrieMoar]

Switch is good enough for me.

 

[ertaboy356b]

seems like it. they rather just make cloud devices instead of spending more money towards manufacturing a better, more powerful device.

The device is already powerful, android is just a shit OS with too much overhead and abstractions.

 

[mr_switch]

At this point, it is like a JRPG final boss that just keep coming back to life

 

[Veho]

$299 Steam Deck VS $400 cash-grab streaming bauble, lmfao

Wut, where can you get a Deck for $300? I'll take three.

 

[Spider_Man]

I remember when people slated sony and its psp go for being digital only.

Now look at these sheep, all these digital only devices are just as bad, yet kids these days are pushing the industry to digital only as they keep supporting all this digital crap.

Throwing money down the drain for content you don't own and they can pull the plug at any time, kiss all that money and content good bye.

This device, regardless of it being unnamed, had been announced by Razer ages ago after Qualcomm's announcement regarding the nomenclature change for their future succeeding iterations of the Snapdragon mobile CPU:
