Today PC peripheral giant Razer has officially unveiled their long rumoured entrant into the smart phone market with what they are simply calling Razer Phone.
The new Razer Phone has been created with mobile gaming as its primary purpose and features a 120hz UltraMotion screen, Dolby Atmos tuned stereo sound, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor and a whopping 8GB of RAM. The phone will also carry a 12MP camera and a decent (but not massive) 4000mAh battery.
At $699USD we are expecting pricing to be around the $899AUD mark, and the Razer Phone will be available in the US on November 17 while other regions have not yet been confirmed.
Following suit of latest Apple iPhones and Google Pixel 2, the Razer Phone also will not have an AUX port meaning you’ll need bluetooth headphones if you’re wanting to keep the peace on public transport.
