I want to take a serious look at this phone before I make a final decision on my phone purchase.

Yup. The handset is seriously tempting me too. But would have to see it in person first.

haha, me too. Want to play with a few phones before I cough out even $400 bucks. Even the Essential phone is looking better, if they get some issues fixed. But the price is dropping almost every week. :)

Yeah, bruh... But the Razor phone shouldn't really be compared with the Essential phone as Razor definitely isn't going for looks, but for practicality. Those big bezels do house powerful speakers and also provides better grip to the handset for hassle-free gaming.

They're both quite different handsets, aimed at different types of consumers.

Seems perfect from the very first generation but would let it go. Let's see their atleast 2nd generation and whether the camera makes a surprise improvement.

I doubt it. This isn't a mass market phone like an iphone, galaxy or pixel device. This is a phone targeted at a niche group of individuals. The camera quality just isn't in the budget and not high enough on the list of priorities Razer has for their target to really be much better than mediocre

Allow me:

01. Sizable battery. Check.
02. Big display with standard 16:9 aspect. Check.
03. Metallic, durable body. Check.
04. 120Hz display. Check.
05. Lots of RAM. Check.
06. Really fast charging. Check.
07. Camera with tiny aperture. Check
08. Affordable price. Check, I guess?
09. Front mounted stereo speakers. Double check!
10. 3.5mm jack. Uncheck.
11. AMOLED panel. Uncheck.
12. Appeal. Uncheck (Girls will think you're a dork!)
13. 13 is cursed! Lets move to 14.
14. Lightweight. Uncheck.

And there you have it!

A geek's fantasy!

About time someone filled that niche! When we have gaming PCs, gaming laptops, why not a gaming smartphone, eh?

Oh well,

G'Day!

IGZO panels are comparable to OLED panels in a lot of ways.

Same here. Until the Galaxy S9 rumors start, I won't even be thinking about my next phone. Note8 and iPhone X are all I need for now.

Haha Sprint and Verizon suck. Glad we get the most options on GSM networks. This phone might be the one for me if they make the right adjustments to the camera. The display, RAM, and speakers are enough already though.

By the spec. It supports LTE Band 25,26,41. Which are Sprint bands. It Would Be Big Mistake if Its Not Gonna work on Sprint or Verizon. They Could Double Their Sales. Its an Amazing Phone But They Can't Expect Everyone to Switch Carriers. BTW Sony Is Making The Same Mistake and Huawei.

Anyone know why Razer is able to the fingerprint scanner on the side? Sony have been trying to enable their fingerprint scanners on their devices for years to no avail. So Razer is getting away with this because they are a US company? How anti-competitive can this get?
