The Razer Phone 2: An Epic Gaming Experience

For avid mobile gamers, finding a smartphone that can keep up with their intense gaming demands can be a challenge. But fear not, as Razer has once again delivered with their second iteration of the Razer Phone: The Razer Phone 2. With a launch date of October 2018 and availability in the market, the Razer Phone 2 proves to be the ultimate gaming smartphone with its powerful platform, impressive display, and unique features.

Running on Android 8.1 (Oreo) and upgradable to Android 9.0 (Pie), the Razer Phone 2 is equipped with a Qualcomm SDM845 Snapdragon 845 chipset and an Octa-core processor (4x2.8 GHz Kryo 385 Gold & 4x1.7 GHz Kryo 385 Silver). This means it can easily handle multiple heavy gaming apps without any lag. And with the Adreno 630 GPU, users can expect a smooth and seamless graphics performance.

But that's not all, the Razer Phone 2 boasts an amazing 8GB RAM, making it one of the most powerful gaming smartphones in the market. And with a dedicated microSDXC card slot and 64GB of internal storage, gamers can store all their favorite games and still have space for more.

The display of the Razer Phone 2 is also one of its standout features. With a 5.72 inch, IGZO IPS LCD screen, and a 120Hz refresh rate, gaming graphics are incredibly sharp and smooth. This, combined with a 580 nits (typical) brightness and 90.2% screen-to-body ratio, provides an immersive gaming experience like no other. The 1440 x 2560 pixel resolution and 16:9 ratio (around 513 ppi density) make for a visually stunning display.

Of course, with intense gaming comes intense usage, and the Razer Phone 2 is built to handle just that. The device has a durable build with a glass front (Corning Gorilla Glass 5), aluminum back, and aluminum frame. It is also IP67 dust/water resistant, meaning it can withstand being submerged in water for up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. And let's not forget the iconic RGB illuminated Razer Chroma logo on the back, adding a touch of personality to the device.

But what about the cameras, you may ask. The Razer Phone 2 may not be marketed as a camera phone, but it still offers impressive specifications. On the rear, it features a dual-camera setup with a 12MP wide lens and a 12MP telephoto lens. Both lenses have impressive apertures of f/1.8 and f/2.6 respectively, and come with features such as PDAF, OIS, and 2x optical zoom. For selfies, there is an 8MP front-facing camera with f/2.0 aperture. While not the best in the market, the cameras on the Razer Phone 2 still deliver great results.

Battery life is another crucial aspect for gamers, and the Razer Phone 2 does not disappoint in this department. It comes with a non-removable 4000 mAh Li-Po battery, which can last through hours of intense gameplay. It also has 18W wired and 15W wireless charging capabilities, perfect for those who are always on the go.

In terms of network connectivity, the Razer Phone 2 supports GSM, CDMA, HSPA, and LTE technologies, with impressive speeds of HSPA 42.2/5.76 Mbps and LTE-A (5CA) Cat18 1200/150 Mbps. It also has Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and NFC capabilities, making it a well-connected device.

And lastly, for gaming enthusiasts, the Razer Phone 2 offers unique features such as the Dolby Atmos stereo speakers with THX-certified amplifiers, providing an immersive gaming audio experience. It also boasts a 24-bit/192kHz audio quality, equivalent to that of high-end gaming headphones.

Available in Mirror back and Rugged satin colors, the Razer Phone 2 can be purchased for about 850 EUR. While it may seem pricey, this device offers everything a mobile gamer could ask for and more. With its powerful platform, stunning display, and unique features, the Razer Phone 2 is a must-have for any serious mobile gamer. Get yours today and experience gaming like never before.
