Today the company is launching the Razer Phone with a couple of industry firsts, which is impressive considering the competition in the smartphone space.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Those industry firsts…<\/p>\n

A specially designed thermal system to allow it’s\u00a0Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoC to run without being throttled for a much longer period than the typical Android phone, which slows the CPU down after about 5 minutes.<\/p>\n

The other, a 120Hz 1440p 5.7″ LCD screen. Similar to Apple’s “Pro Motion” display on the new iPad Pros the high frequency display allows for the smoother display for high frame rate applications.<\/p>\n

The phone also has 8GB of RAM, 64GB of internal storage and a microSD slot, although it’s shipping with the older Android 7 with the company promising a move to 8 in the near future.<\/p>\n

Is it a phone for gamers? Perhaps, if you play a lot of Android games on your phone? Really it’s just another Android phone with some nice perks at the fairly reasonable price of US$699.<\/p>\n

You can pre-order the phone now with shipments beginning November 17th.<\/p>\n
