Razer confirmed that they will launch a smartphone for the first time. The premiere event is scheduled to take place on November 1. According to PhoneRadar, the device has been spotted on benchmarking website, GFX Bench. Thanks to the listing, key information about the device has been revealed. According to Tech Radar, the specifications of the handset do not come across as surprising. This is because the company had made it clear that they were introducing a high-end gaming smartphone.
Here are the specs and features
According to the listing mentioned by Tech Radar, the smartphone features a 5.7-inch display with 2,560 x 1,440 pixels resolution.
The handset is further powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 835 system-on-chip. For graphics purposes, the device is home to Qualcomm’s Adreno 540 chipset. The same features appeared on Samsung’s Galaxy S8 as well. On the storage front, the firm plans on offering two choices – 64GB and 128GB. The storage needs of users will probably end up being more, as the device will be a purely-gaming one.
The Razer Phone is speculated to feature 7.5GB of RAM. High-end smartphones such as Apple’s iPhone X provide 4GB of RAM. In comparison to those devices, “Razer Phone” provides much more space. As far as its camera is concerned, the smartphone will feature a 12-megapixel rear setup. This will be complemented by an 8-megapixel front shooter.
There is no word on the battery power of “Razer Phone,” as yet. It appears that the device will run on Android 7.1.1 Nougat OS. It remains uncertain whether the company will deploy the latest Android Oreo update for its smartphone.
Surprises by the Razer
According to Tech Radar, the company is planning on to bring surprises with its smartphone.
These surprise “features” will be revealed on the day of the launch event. While most of the software details about the product have been leaked through the benchmark listing, there is no word on its hardware yet. The smartphone is expected to pack a rough exterior. But one cannot really know for sure what the product will actually end up looking like.
It remains to be seen whether Razer ends up following mainstream trends. Chances are, the company might launch a design that has never been seen before. Additional details about the product will be revealed with time. The pricing bit about Razer phone is also not known yet. The phone is expected to compete with Galaxy S8 and LG G6.
