The Razer Edge features a 6.8-inch AMOLED display with a screen resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels and a 144Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, the device is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon G3X Gen 1 processor, which is built for gaming purposes and promises active cooling during prolonged game sessions.

It is currently the only device in the market to come powered by this new chipset. The device packs 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 128GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage, which can be further expanded up to 2TB using a microSD card.

There’s a 5-megapixel camera sensor on the front side of the device with 1080p support at 60fps. It also supports 2-way speakers with two digital microphones and THX Spatial Audio.

On the software front, the device runs the Android 12L operating system, offering access to millions of apps and games from the Google Play Store. As the handheld device is focused on cloud gaming, it comes pre-installed with launchers for Xbox Cloud Gaming, Nvidia GeForce Now, and Steam Link, and more.

The device comes in two models — Razer Edge (Wi-Fi) and Razer Edge 5G. The Wi-Fi model, priced at $399.99, will be exclusively available for purchase in the US through Razer.com and RazerStore locations. On the other hand, the 5G model, priced at $599.99, will be exclusively available through Verizon. The device is all set to go on sale in the United States from 26th January.
