The Razer Phone 2 is Here and it Has a Glowing Logo

The Razer Phone 2 has been officially announced and it is a do-over from its predecessor, adding all the features that were missing.

Last year, Razer took its first step into the crowded waters of smartphones with the Razer Phone. It wasn’t the best first step, missing key features like wireless charging and water and dust resistance, though it did offer a few key advancements like the 120Hz display and front-facing speakers that made it an intriguing option.

With the unveiling of the Razer Phone 2, Razer makes it clear that its trip into the smartphone market is not just a pastime but something it’s serious about.

Razer is marketing the Razer Phone 2 as a gamer’s dream phone first and foremost, and to be a gamer’s phone you need a powerful device that can handle intense games. As such, it comes with a Snapdragon 845 processor and 8GB of RAM that makes performance super snappy. It also comes with a beefy 4,000mAh battery, 64GB of storage with microSD expandability up to 2TB and a side mounted power button that doubles as a fingerprint scanner.

The front of the device stayed exactly the same down to the display size and the outlay of the front-firing speakers that get impressively loud. It has the same stunning 5.7-inch LCD display with 2560 by 1440 resolution (515 ppi) and the awesome 120Hz refresh rate returns. It’s still confounding no other smartphone maker has adopted similar technology. To top it off, Razer added a panel that gets 50-percent brighter, ensuring visibility outdoors won’t be an issue.

All of those specs are cool but let’s get to the Razer Phone 2’s killer feature and that is its redesigned body with a new glass back. Razer said it made a conscious effort to make its flagship smartphone more consumer friendly given this is where modern smartphone design is trending.
