The new Razer Phone run Android 7.1.1 Nougat operating system. It also comes with THX-certified dual front-facing speakers with Dolby ATMOS. Additional features include ‘4G Super-Voice’ (apparently prevents dead zones).
In terms of design, the Razer Phone incorporates cooling technology seen on laptops. A heat pipe and two layers of thermal shielding turn the structure of the phone into a heat sync. This allows you to carry heavy gaming tasks for long periods without any heating issues. However, you get an 8mm-thick monolithic brick of a smartphone.
“While most Android games will run fine on the Razer Phone, around 20 percent of them have uncapped frame rates, which will take full advantage of Razer’s technologies. The firm is also working with big-name game developers to optimise some high profile games for the phone, including the upcoming Final Fantasy 15 Pocket Edition and Shadow Gun Legends,” said Tom Moss, head of Razer’s mobile business in an interview.
