I know it won't be good until where. Beside that awesome 120hz display, nothing is special in this phone already.
Oh ya, a very well recognize GREEN everywhere.

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...

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

Just Honest, 12 Nov 2017Goods -120Hz refresh rate screen (super fluid animations and near lifelike motions) with QHD ... moreAnd this is the first time I ever heard of a smartphone brand putting so much sarcasm into the taste when they unveil the smartphone, all I hear is "AMAZING" in the unveiling video, the first time I heard so much from my favorite gaming brand RAZER. And now the review comes out, shows us the results, and it is "AMAZING" XD
