The infamous gaming company, Razer has announced that they’ll be launching a new gaming smartphone. Like any gaming hardware, it will be powerful. Even though it only has a Qualcomm Adreno 540 GPU, the same GPU that could be found in other phones, such as the Sony Xperia XZ1, Samsung Galaxy S8 active, and Google Pixel 2. What makes it different from all other phones is that it has a 1440p resolution and an astonishing 8 GB RAM, which makes this phone perfect for mobile gamers.
By introducing this new type of phone, Razer has successfully opened up a new market and raised the standards for all other phone companies. This phone would instantly solve lagging problems for mobile gamers, eliminating any chances of losing a game due to lags. Customers also wouldn’t have to worry whether if, the software or hardware could handle the game. With this kind of specification, it would handle any mobile game developed in the next few years.
On the down side, even though Razer hasn’t announced the official prices, we could expect prices to be high, considering the specification of the mobile device, and the generally high prices for Razer products. The next question is, will this phone be as a success as all other phones in the market. Looking at the current habits of buying a new phone, most people buy phones for necessity reasons, is this overpowered phone, something that people need in the future? And will it be a success?
