Razer has sent out invites for a launch event on October 10, where the company is expected to launch its next-generation gaming smartphone — Razer Phone 2. We earlier speculated October 10 as the launch date based on the phone’s renders but the company has now confirmed this by sending out press invites.
The upcoming Razer Phone 2 is the successor of the Razer Phone, a smartphone made specifically for the purpose of gaming, launched in November last year.
Recently, the phone had surfaced online on AnTuTu, revealing its specifications. The listing confirmed that the phone will come with a 5.7-inch QHD Sharp IGZO display with a refresh rate of 120Hz and support for Qualcomm Q-Sync. The device will be powered by Snapdragon 845 octa-core processor coupled with 8GB RAM and a whopping 512GB of internal storage.
The phone is expected to be running on Android 8.1 Oreo operating system out of the box. We are also expecting improvements in terms of camera performance and battery. Earlier, there were reports claiming that the Razer Phone 2 will be sporting Chrome LED effects that will light up the device when it receives notifications.
The leaked render of the upcoming Razer Phone 2 suggests that it is equipped with a traditional 16:9 aspect ratio instead of the 19:9 aspect ratio as is the current trend. The leak only shows the front side of the Razer Phone 2, thus there’s no confirmation on whether the handset will sport a different rear design than the original device.
When the Razer Phone was launched last year, there was no competition for a gaming smartphone. Since then, a couple of gaming smartphones have made their way to the market, including Nubia Red Magic, Xiaomi’s Black Shark gaming phone, and Asus ROG Phone.
Sporting a mammoth a 6.3-inch full-HD+ display with a screen resolution of 1080×2340 pixels and 19.5:9 screen aspect ratio, the Oppo F9 packs a powerful MediaTek Helio P60 octa-core SoC processor, under the hood. It comes with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of expandable inbuilt storage (up to 256GB via microSD card).
The device’s dimensions are 9.20 x 9.20 x 1.70 cm and it weighs in at 0.1500 kg which makes it easily portable. While you’d usually end up shelling out a lot of money on a high-end TV box, the Sunvell H3 is currently selling for an affordable price of $27.99 on GearBest.
GPD WIN 2 Gamepad tablet PC is a powerful handheld that provides avid gamers the means to play their favorite games even while traveling. Designed by a German Red Dot award-winning team, this portable handheld game console supports over a whopping 1,000,000 internet games.
Alternatively, you can go for the slightly lower 8GBRAM+128GB ROM version of the gamepad tablet PC if you’re willing to shell out $714.99. This is a significant 35% reduction in this version’s steep $1093.68 retail price and it will be valid for 3 days.
Leagoo made its hotly-anticipated S9 smartphone available to the public earlier this year. While it seemed to meet the expectations of smartphone enthusiasts in terms of features, the S9 didn’t come cheap.
Housed in a robust plastic and metal body, the S9 features an eye-catching curved design. Under the hood, it packs a powerful MT6750 Octa-Core 1.5GHz ARM Cortex-A53 28nm processor along with an ARM Mali-T860 MP2, 520 MHz GPU.
The Vivo Nex is quite a bargain at this reduced price, given that it sports a mammoth 6.59 inch super AMOLED FHD+ display with 1080 x 2316 pixels screen resolution. Moreover, the phablet is housed in a robust aluminum alloy and polycarbonate body which is further augmented with a borderless design.
