Razer Phone: World’s First Ever 120Hz Display Device, With Monster 8GB RAM

Razer Phone has been launched, it is the first smartphone from the company and considered as world’s first 120Hz “Ultramotion” display, the first use of Qualcomm’s QuickCharge 4+. The Device is made out an all-aluminum CNC chassis, and it boasts two front-facing stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos sound, each with its own amp – and they’re certified by THX (a first for a phone). Razer claims it’s the loudest handset ever. On the flip side, there’s no 3.5mm headset jack, although you do get a USB-C to headphone adapter in the box.

The Razer phone spots a 5.7″ QHD IGZO LCD with wide color gamut and 120Hz refresh rate, twice as much as you normally get from any mobile device other than Apple’s iPad Pro line. It’s packing an adaptive refresh technology that syncs the GPU and the display. This is called UltraMotion and was developed in cooperation with Qualcomm to ensure no tearing or lag even at high frame rates.

Razer phone comes with Snapdragon 835 chipset, 8GB of RAM, and 64GB inbuilt memory.
Dual rear camera setup of a 12 MP f/1.75 main shooter and a 13 MP f/2.6 2x fixed zoom lens, along with a dual-tone LED flash. 8MP f/2.0 snapper for selfies. The fingerprint sensor is in the power key on the side, and the Razer Phone runs Android 7.1.1 Nougat out of the box (with an update to Oreo coming in Q1 2018). It ships with Nova Launcher Prime Razer Edition.

It comes with a 4000mAh battery capacity and Razer said you can watch movies for 12.5 hours on its phone, listen to music for 63.5 hours, and play Hearthstone for 7 hours straight. Checkout the rest of the specification of the device below.
