Razer Phone Review
So I've been using the Razer Phone for a couple of weeks at this point
and I wanted to share my experiences of using this phone with you guys so a lot of people are interested in this phone because
It's such a different looking phone from a lot of other Android offerings especially with that 120 Hertz screen
But I feel like there's so much more to this phone that is actually really good for a lot of people not just
Gamers or whatever you might think that the Razer brand is catering to so the first thing
I want to talk about is build quality this thing is built like a tank.
It's aluminum,
It's not like special materials or anything
But the design of it is just so boxy and so just industrial feeling and industrial looking
It's a really solid phone if I had to drop phones thousands of times. It would be this one
I feel like this is the one that's gonna last the longest
The button placement takes a while to get used to, the power switch is good.
But the volume rockers are just, I don't know they're a little bit lower than I'm used to so even after using this thing for
A couple of weeks, I'm still not used to their lowers position.
I wish it was higher up
I also don't like that this thing doesn't have a headphone jack now a lot of phones don't have headphone jacks in twenty-seventeen
But this one in particular. I feel like it really should have had one. It's a gamer oriented phone
I mean it can be for gamers, but even for regular people because this thing is so good for media consumption
I feel like a lot of people could have really benefited from a headphone jack and
It doesn't have one which is unfortunate.
Okay, Let's talk about the screen. It's probably its most flagship feature
It's the thing that they're marketing the most heavily
It's a really nice looking screen 120 Hertz very fluid very color accurate my biggest complaint about it
Though is the brightness. It's not super dim or anything like that don't get me wrong
I think it measures at around 300 nits but because of how bright other smart phones can get at this
$700 price point it just feels like it's dimmer than it could or should be now the screen is
nice for games
But I don't know if it makes me a better gamer so most of the games that I play in mobile are just pretty relaxed
And chill games something like Altos landing looks really nice on the screen 120 Hertz
But there's a lot of games that are like the competitive games that still don't run at 120 Hertz on the screen even if you
Lower the resolution,
So it depends on the games you want to play?
But keep in mind that that list of games that supports high frame is growing every day
Now using the screen outside of gaming is also really nice
Just browsing the web anything that has a UI just looks super smooth
Just browsing Reddit, imgur, flicking and swiping around on this screen feels so smooth and after using this one for a couple of weeks
Switching back to a regular phone feels so choppy the speakers are in a league of their own. They sound amazing
It's not the volume and the bass I mean it does get loud and the bass is present,
But it's just the clarity if he sounds so clear when you're playing games listening to music just anything that has sound
Sounds abnormally clean coming out of these speakers.
It's weird hearing this kind of audio from a smartphone,
It is unfortunately one of those things that you have to experience in real life and same thing with the screen you can't like this
video is not going to do is justice the screen and the speakers are something you have to experience in real life now if there's
One complaint I had about the speakers
It's that when you lower the volume the bass and the mids
Disappear way quicker than the higher frequencies it had to install some EQ software
Just to make it sound the way I want but really good speakers overall. The camera is disappointing
There's no way to spin it
It's not a good camera the default software the listen comes with takes particularly bad photos like the low-light photos are really grainy
But if you download the Google camera app like the one that comes stock on pixel devices the image quality looks so much better
But here's the thing people shouldn't have to do that
I feel like a lot of people don't even know how to do that
So it's unfortunate that this camera
Delivers the photos that it does coming out of the box now a lot of reviews are going to focus on this
I think a lot of people are going to tunnel vision on
The whole bad camera thing because it's a really easily compared thing or it's a very objective metric that differentiates phones
But does it really matter to you
I mean if you're someone who spends a lot of time on Instagram and you have to post these like
Curated photo collections, then yeah, don't get this camera.
Don't get this phone, but if you just use your phone for the average memory
Just take a picture here their camera image quality is important
But it's not the most important thing in the world so if the other things in this phone are kind of
Good for you, then. I'd still keep this thing on the short list of options looking at performance
Snapdragon 835, eight gigs of ram, and I gotta be honest
I don't feel like this is any different from any other Snapdragon 835 phone, which is the majority of flagship phones?
It's fast, but it's not
Blazing fast the iPhone X is still faster in benchmarks
But this thing feels really fluid and because it's running a pretty much stock version of Android
7.1.1. It's gonna stay fast for a long time, okay last thing battery life this thing has a four thousand milliamp hour battery and
I Thought or I kind of hoped it would last a really long time like a two day battery because it's relatively big
But that's not the case I'm getting around six hours of screen on time
It's basically a day and a half battery now. It does support quick charge four plus. Which is really fast
It's as fast. If not faster than dash-charge from one plus
I'm getting like sixty-five to seventy percent of battery off of a 30 minute charge
It's really impressive now overall
Great phone for the right person so if you're someone that again if you're if you're really big on photography.
Don't get this thing if you just use your phone like I feel like most people do for media consumption and stuff like that this,
Thing is awesome like do you know how much better browsing reddit is at
120 frames per second than a 60 frames per second screen? There's no comparison
It's just better to look at better sounding than most phones out there for media consumption
So if that's your jam check this phone out
I think you guys will like it, but if you're not interested in that stuff if you're like mister no business and mister... Photographer
Not the phone for you. Okay, Hope you guys enjoyed this video thumbs up if you liked it, sub if you loved it!
See you guys next time
