Considering it's a first effort it's not too bad.
Still, I was expecting better technology in the screen, far too many compromises for the 120hz highlight.

The phone can surely benefit for media/gaming, but it bit let down when the screen is bad, since that is the most important aspect

Anonymous, 12 Nov 2017where I could buy the version without logo on the back?You can't. The logo is there to mark you as part of the Razer's flock. But you can hide it with a case if you want to buy that thing...

Just wait for the proper updates and all can change. The hardware is there just wait for the proper software. No has this phone yet but everyone here decided against it. Just based on one review?. Shame on you guys.

What a Crappy Phone! I thought that the lack of the 3.5mm headphone was to be it's main disadvantage, but alas.....
With an IGZO panel, a good brightness was to be guaranteed, but 223 nits? Even cheap laptops have screens brighter than that. For all the 120Hz talk, what's the use if you don't have decent brightness. Contrast is poor too as is the sunlight constrast ratio.
Ok, so atleast with the low brightness IGZO panel and that 4000 mAh panel, maybe the battery endurance will be a saving grace? With a pathetic 63 hours, let that thought stay in you dreams......Atleast QuickCharge 4.0 is there.....
As for raw CPU and GPU performance, the Razer phone isn't much worse than the current SD 835 crop, then again it doesn't have a clear advantage either. The Note8 and OnePlus and the some other flagships, easily capable of matching and probably even slightly exceeding the Razer's prowess.
And as we saw the 120fps implementation for games is half-baked and it still only exists mostly in theoretical scenarios rather than real-life ones. And that fault may not necessarily be with Razer. But the missed opportunity to play 120fps videos is Razer's sole fault since it would have been much more straightforward to implement that using a native app. So is the glaring omission to record high-frame rate (not even 60fps) videos on a screen with 120Hz refresh rate.
The camera could be called okay/average/fine.
Some superb loudspeakers though.

Should have tested it on 10hz and 360p so we can see better battery performance

Kurt, 12 Nov 2017In two months the speaker grilles will be full of sweat, grease, dust and who knows what else,... moreHow gross! It could even end smelling really bad along the time.
The review does't include the small letter in the presentation that mentioned the test conditions. Their battery tests were with only 25% of volume, at determined brightness. If you want to enjoy the sound power with the two amplifiers. The battery will drain as fast as your pleasure watching how decrease its level all the time on the icon.

All you need is device, that you have here, and aplications and games. Thats all.
Daydream is just brand name that google made up

And now the review comes out, shows us the results, and it is "AMAZING" XD

In two months the speaker grilles will be full of sweat, grease, dust and who knows what else, with much of the holes clogged. And when you try to clean them everything will fall inside to never come out.

Razer does not currently offer any solution. The Razer Phone is not officially Daydream certified. Which VR setup exactly do you want us to test?
Also, we would love suggestions as to how exactly to go about fooling any possible VR app into running at a high frame rate.

Really average if not bad review. GSMA really lack information about usage, we have just lots of plain data.
For example this 120hz will be amazing with VR, and what we have about VR test? nothing.

Sharp user, 12 Nov 2017hmm, let me rephrase my previous comment then put some space, and add some numbers: 1. just... moreI agree. In some points (let's say true - in any) this review is negativity biased. Prove? Let's look what they say about camera aperture. And compare with other similar duall-camera aperture,s, iPhones for example. Telephoto lens aperture everywhere is similar. But only here they noticed that and complains. It's a shame. I agree about other things - screen isn't pervect, power consumption is high etc etc. But too much they noticed as fail but in other phones we see the same or close to and everything is ok.
