The official teaser from Razer that had surfaced earlier in this week revealed that it will be announcing its first gaming smartphone on Nov. 1. However, the company is silent on the specifications and features of its smartphone. A smartphone labelled as “Razer Phone” has appeared on GFXBench benchmarking site. The listing reveals that the upcoming smartphone Razer will arrive with topnotch specifications.

According to GFXBench listing, the Razer Phone features a 5.7-inch display. It appears that it won’t be supporting 18:9 aspect ratio that is available on recent flagships like Samsung Galaxy Note 8 or LG V30. The screen of the Razer Phone offers a resolution of 2,560 x 1,440 pixels which means it carries support for the usual 16:9 aspect ratio.

It appears that the Snapdragon 835 chipset will be present under the hood of the Razer Phone. It will be coupled with 8 GB of RAM. There are not many 8 GB RAM smartphones in the market. The ASUS ZenFone AR is the first 8 GB RAM smartphone that is powered by Snapdragon 821 SoC. The ZTE Nubia Z17 that arrived earlier in this year is the first Snapdragon 835 driven phone with 8 GB RAM. However, the Nubia Z17 is not available outside of China. OnePlus 5 also features Snapdragon 835 and 8 GB of RAM.

Razer is known as a gaming hardware maker. It makes gaming laptops, mechanical keyboards, mouse-pads, and gaming mice. It also released two wearables -the Nabu and the Nabu X and a gaming tablet.

Back in January, the company bought smartphone startup Nextbit, makers of the Robin, a cloud-connected smartphone that kept most of its files in the cloud. Today, Razer released a teaser confirming that its first smartphone will arrive on November 1.

CEO Min-Linag Tan confirmed a few weeks ago that the company was planning a phone launch before the end of the year. The smartphone according to him will be focused on “gaming and entertainment”. There was also an image on the internet last week that showed Min-Liang Tan with a Razer-branded device shaped like a smartphone in his pocket.

The official teaser shows a man holding a device to his face sitting against an image carousel background. What better way to depict entertainment?

There is no info on the specs of the Razer smartphone and we are pretty eager to know what it packs and how it will measure up against current smartphones. Nevertheless, the company has done a pretty good job keeping details of the phone from public eye but we believe more details will surface in coming weeks.
