Razer Phone Specs Video (Real World Review) By Real World Review

Over, the last month, I've been using the razor phone as my main phone today, I decided to talk about the specifications of the phone and review them to let people know if it is worth buying. This is a razor phone specs, video, hello, everybody. My name is Matt, and this is real world review. What I'm going to do is go over the specs of the phone and at the end, I will score the phone based on my personal experiences as a user and cell phone repairman. If you have any questions, leave them in the comment section or on Twitter at Matt of Area BR. Let's get started to start.

Our first category is the outside hardware. Let's start with the display the displays a 5.7 inch, 120 Hertz IGO LCD screen with a resolution of 1440 by 2560 totaling 513 pixels per inch. The maximum screen brightness is low at roughly 365 nits, and it definitely shows the screen has Corning Gorilla Glass 3, covering it making the front scratch resistant. The screen the body ratio is about 73%, but for good reasons. The screen ratio is 16 by 9, which is also a good thing.

Let's talk about the rest of the front. We start with the top, where that your piece and the sensors are there's a speaker girl. Looking thing that covers the earpiece and doubles as a loudspeaker to the left of that is the 8 megapixel front camera to the left of that is a proximity and ambient light sensor in the middle of the camera in the sensors is a very small LED for notifications. More on that later, on the bottom portion, there is another speaker grille along with another loudspeaker. This means that the phone has stereo speakers.

Moving on to the frame on the bottom is a USB-C port, along with the microphone on the right side, there is a power button with a fingerprint scanner built in along with the tray for a SIM card in memory card. On the left side, there are two very small unlabeled volume buttons on the top. There is a hole for another microphone, that's it on the back of the device. There are two 12 megapixel cameras that protrude out of the pack, along with a dual LED flash unit to the left of those sensors under that is an unibody metal panel with a Racer logo cutout, as for the size of the device, is 158 point: five millimeters tall, 77.7 millimeters wide and eight millimeters, thick or 6.2 four inches tall, three point: zero, six inches wide and point three one inches thick. As for the weight, the razor phone is 197 grams or six point: nine five ounces: the phone is not water-resistant and does not have a user removable battery or pack.

And now we move on to the cameras. There are two different 12 megapixel sensors with a dual LED flash. The aperture is F 1.75 for the standard lens in F 2.6 for the telephoto lens. The phone supports different camera features like high dynamic range portrait mode in two times: optical zoom. The rear camera can record video.

In some odd ways. You can only record 4k, 1080p and 720p at 30 frames for a second and as for slow-motion video, you can only capture that with a third-party application. More on that, in a few minutes, the front camera is an 8 megapixel sensor with AF 2.0 aperture. It allows for a max of 1080p recording at 30 frames per second. The next category is the insight Hardware.

As usual. We start with the processor. The processor in this phone is a 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chip. It is a 10 nanometer, outscore processor, with 4 cores running at 2.45 gigahertz and the other 4 cores running at 1.9. Gigahertz Geek bench gives a phone a score of around 1926 for the single core in 6670 for the multi-core test.

The GPU is an Adrian of 540 that runs at 710 megahertz. When testing the GPU Geek bench gives us phone a score of around 7000 925. This phone has 8 gigabytes of lpddr4 ram, which is a lot for most flagship phones. Well, unless you're one plus the model I'm reviewing, is the r z3 5 ? 2 0 ?, 1 5, and it is factory, unlocked the phone supports, 1g, 2g, 3g and 4g, assuming that the market urine still supports those along with LTE bands, 1 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 17, 19, 20, 25, 26, 28, 29, 30, 34, 38, 39, 40, 41 and 66. As for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, the Wi-Fi chip is at 8'o, 2.11, a/b/g/n, AC, dual-band and the Bluetooth is version 4.2. This phone also supports NFC in a GPS.

The battery in this phone is a four thousand William lithium-ion cell. That's supposed to last all day. Racer doesn't have any benchmarks for this battery, but it should last a full day, even with medium to heavy usage. This phone does support Qualcomm, quick charge for plus and provides hours of charge in just a few minutes. The phone comes out of the box with Android 7.1 NGA and has been updated to Android 8.1 Oreo. There are plans for this phone to the support, Android P when it does come out.

This phone supports a bunch of different audio formats like FLAC, OGG, m4a and WAV. As for video playback, the phone supports a few formats like mp4 and h.264. Now that we have gone over the specs it's time for me to give this phone a score note that this phone comes with 64 gigabytes and can be purchased new for 699 dollars. It should also be noted that this phone is about nine months old, and most people will want to buy this phone used in the scoring does account for that. Let's start with the frame, the phone is made out of glass and metal with a little of plastic.

The front is mainly glass and plastic, while the back is all metal. The screen is a flat LCD that has a refresh rate of 120 Hertz above and below. The screen is two speaker grilles that cover the super loud dual speaker setup, there's a very small LED for notifications, but in every light situation it is very hard to see, even though the frame is metal, you shouldn't have to worry too much about bending, because this phone is pretty solid and pretty thick. The camera lens is glass, and it shouldn't be much of an issue because it sticks out just a very small amount. This phone is very large.

Well, it is a decent size, but for some reason, I thought this phone would be a lot smaller than what it really is. If you're used to large phones like the plus-sized iPhones or galaxy s's, you might be used to this phone already. This phone is a pretty wide tall and thick phone, but it is for good reasons. As for the buttons there in some odd places, it's a nice look but at the same time it's in the middle of the phone. So it's kind of weird.

When you have its sideways, you don't know exactly for pushing volume up or volume down on the next bit Robin and made a little more sense because he knew exactly where they are, and they're in a different position as well. Maybe next year they can move the buttons up a little more. That's what I recommend. At least this phone has a robust look but I kind of like it. So the outside hardware will get an 8 out of 10.

Next is a screen. This screen is a flat 5.7 inch LCD with a refresh rate of 120 Hertz, which means that the screen is twice as fast as pretty much every phone out there. The sharp aquas R is technically the first phone with this technology, but it is a lot easier, getting a hold of the razor phone sure the screen isn't a lead, but the refresh rate is amazing. However, having the screen technology does come at a cost. Like I said, the screen isn't OLED, but that's because a hundred and twenty Hertz on an OLED screen this size is either not easy to do or will cost way too much to complete.

Another downside is not only the screen brightness, but the power required to make this screen. The screen is dimmer than most LCD phones, along with most OLED panels, I mean even phones like the Samsung Galaxy s5 have brighter screens. On top of that, when the phone gets warm, the screen actually will dim to combat. The heat like the iPhone. Does razor says that this is supposed to happen after about half an hour of gaming, but I've had times when I saw the screened in before I even dropped out of the plane on pub G sure it's an amazing looking screens and the colors come out looking nice, but at what cost I mean.

After all, it is a 5.7 inch, 1440 LCD screen with the standard 16 by 9 ratio. It's meant to be basic, but with some special features to me, I was a little disappointed with this phone because of the screen, but at the same time the 120 Hertz screen looks amazing, so the screen will get an 8 out of 10, make it OLED and brighter, and it might get a 10 next time. Next is the inside hardware. The Snapdragon 835 processor was the top of the line in 2017, but it still is pretty awesome in 2018, with almost stock Android on this phone. This phone seems to be the fastest phone out there, but that might be because of the 120 Hertz screen.

The four thousand William battery in this phone is pretty awesome. I had some issues when I initially got the phone, but the battery life dramatically increased after a couple. I would have to say that this is the best battery life that I've seen in a phone, but I feel like it's because of the screen partners still having a huge battery doesn't always mean that the battery life is going to be good, but in this phone it worked out pretty well with basic usage. You might actually be able to get two days out of this battery, but really what matters is the gaming on this phone? You should be able to get a couple of hours of gaming out of this phone and still get through the day without worrying about the battery dying. Like I said, this phone does have dual speakers, and it was executed perfectly.

These speakers are possibly the loudest speakers on a phone even to this day, and the stereo setup is perfect. Unlike the iPhone 7 through iPhone 10 Samsung s9 in the Google Pixel ?, they have amplifiers, and the speakers and both speakers produce the same amount of audio as the other rather than one being louder than the other. This phone does, however, lack a headset, jack I believe that they had enough room to fit this in the phone. Maybe next year, I find it to be an issue because they have the same restrictions as Google does, meaning that you can't buy some aftermarket adapter. You have to buy the one from Racer, which is kind of annoying sure it does come in the box, but if you lose that or if you want to buy another one you're forced to buy it from Racer, the phone comes with 64 gigabytes, built in and supports an SD card making this phone the perfect phone for media well, except for the screen brightness, the phone does get pretty warm after long usage, but that's probably because the processor is overclocked.

It is a gaming felling. After all, it'd be weird. If the phone didn't get hot, this phone lacks wireless charging and is not water-resistant. I. Have no excuses for that, but I doubt that the speakers would be as good as they are if the phone was water-resistant.

Oh, this phone also has 8 gigabytes of RAM, which is a pretty good amount, especially because the phone is a gaming phone overall I would say that this phone gets an eight point. Seven five out of ten for the inside hardware. Next is the camera. The camera is alright, nothing to really talk about I'm, being serious. The stock camera barely has portrait mode, and that's it.

No filters. No slow motion, no 60 frames per second video, no special modes, just pictures, video and portrait mode sure there are apps that allow software features like recording speeds and filters to be used. But the point is some of this should have been built into the phone. The camera also lacks optical image stabilization, but that's probably because the camera sensors are so close to each other. The pictures don't come out.

Looking that bad honestly, it kind of reminds me of the mode of z2 force when it comes to taking pictures at night works, but it doesn't look that good to me. The portrait pictures come out fine, but like the motor z2 force, you'll have to be very still when you take them, or else they won't blur properly. Even then, if the lighting isn't right, they still look weird. As for the front camera, this 8 megapixel sensor sounds good on paper, but it's decent at best again, the phone's high light is clearly not the camera, so the razor phone could say six point five out of ten. Next is a software being the first razor phone.

They had a choice, go with stock Android or put eraser skin on it, like most phones lucky for us, they stuck with stock Android, didn't add some basic apps and customization, and that's it. This phone checks, the normal boxes, adding double tap to wake ambient display and a stock experience. There is also an app for customizing, the app icons, if you're into that it also comes with Dolby Atmos, which makes the speakers sound. Even better, there is also a game booster app that allows you to control, which apps make the phone work more than others. It's pretty cool, but I keep mine at max settings.

If you're used to stocking Android, there isn't much to talk about. The stock choice makes the phone smoother, so I can't say that this is a bad choice. The software never gets put into the scoring, but it will get an amazing nine point. Two five out of ten. The last score is a future-proofing score.

This phone has been out for a couple of months, and it's already kind of getting old. There are some defects to this phone that we're done on accident, but some of them were done on purpose, starting with the accidents. I have to bring up the vibrating mechanism, just like the techs on seven minis. It just sounds really weird, and I have a feeling. This happens on a lot of racer phones with this said it does get the job done, but I can assume that this will get worse over time.

There is also an issue with the screen not working properly, which is pretty understandable, because the technology is pretty new for this phone still. This happened to my phone, so I can assume that this can happen to anyone's phone as well. I have checked some forums and saw a bunch of people complaining about the same issue. My main concern would be the battery, but there are many ways to save battery and the size of the cell is massive at 4000. Williams I could assume that Racer knows that this could happen.

So hopefully they added a bunch of techs to make the battery lose capacity slower, like Samsung, did with their essay in s9 batteries. With this said, the phone gets pretty warm, and this may cause the battery capacity to diminish a little more than most phones. There is a USB-C port on the bottom, which is expected, but the headset jack is missing, which is not expected. Also, racer sells a bunch of wired headsets, but you'll need an adapter to use. This kind of annoying I find this to be an issue because the phone is larger than most phones.

I think they could have made the phone a little. Bigger and added a headset jack I mean come on. The phone doesn't have water resistance, so we deserve a headset jack. Oh, did I mention that the aftermarket headset jack adapters don't work on this phone. Yeah, not cool.

The Snapdragon 835 processor is a year old, but it should still work perfect for the next two or three years. Also having eight gigabytes of RAM helps with running apps and multitasking I never ran into any major lag. The phone is pretty solid. In that sense now there is a small chance that someone at Racer is watching this video, so I have some things to say to you. The next razor phoned one needs a headset jack.

Two wireless charging or water resistance doesn't have to be both, but that'd be cool if it does in three an OLED screen or a screen with at least 500 nits or more oh, and a better camera with optical image stabilization. That's all I would want. Overall I would say that this phone is future-proof and gets an 8 out of 10. Add up the scores and this phone gets a thirty-nine point, two five out of fifty or seventy-eight point, five percent sure you can say that racer bought next bit in their second phone was a racer phone, but we'll think about that. Their second phone that they created has better speakers a bigger battery, more RAM, faster screen and faster processor than the Samsung SAE, and even the Samsung s9 -.

The processor Racer did a perfect job at this phone and unfortunately won't sell too many phones for the first couple of years, but like essential and one plus, we need phones like these. These phones help break the molds and give customers what they want. Not what the companies force us to settle with this phone retails at $700, but can be found for around $400 in the used market, which isn't too bad personally I would take this phone over the flagship phones in the same rank. Sure the screen is dim, the phone gets warm, but the refresh rate and the battery is amazing. Fun fact razor's headquarters is in San, Francisco California, and they own the thanks brand, and that's it.

Let me know what else you want me to review in the comment section below or on Twitter, at Matt of art. If you are- and I have a question for you- should racer make a second version of this phone.
