It was reported earlier that the Razer smartphone line has been put on hold but a follow-up report said the manufacturer is working on a successor to last year’s model which will launch later this year. Nevertheless, the Razer Phone 2 is still popping up in the news from time to time.

The last we heard of it is the massive price slash which now sees the phone sell for $399, down from its launch price of $799. This week, images of a prototype with 8 times the storage and extra features have surfaced on the web.

The Razer Phone 2 is available in two configurations which are 8GB of RAM + 64GB and 8GB of RAM + 128GB of expandable storage. The prototype that has shown up on the web has a whopping 512GB of storage. If Razer had released this variant, we are pretty sure the price would be close to a $1000.

That is not all the prototype has got. Based on the photos shared by XDA-Developers member, Kountry83, the phone has a THX logo on the back. It also has dual SIM support, Widevine L1 support, and an unlocked bootloader with the DRMs intact.

The Razer Phone 2 has a single SIM slot, so a dual SIM variant would have been a welcome choice for a lot of buyers.

The Razer Phone 2 is a great purchase at $399 considering the features it packs. It has a 5.72-inch IGZO IPS LCD display with a 2560 x 1440 resolution. The display has a 120Hz refresh rate that puts the OnePlus 7 Pro’s 90Hz screen to shame.

There is a Snapdragon 845 processor under the hood which should handle any game thrown at it without hiccups. It also has liquid cooling. There is no audio jack but the Razer Phone 2 has one of the best speakers you will find on a smartphone. The dual front-facing speakers have Dolby Atmos and THX-certified amplifiers. The Razer logo on the back has Razer’s Chroma customizable RGB lighting.

It has a single SIM slot and a microSD card slot for up to an additional 1TB of storage. There is also Bluetooth 5.0, dual 12MP rear cameras, an 8MP front-facing camera, and a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. The Razer Phone 2 packs a 4000mAh battery with support for Quick Charge 4+ and 15W wireless charging.
