Razer Phone Hands-On: The Smartphone For Gamers

- The idea of a smartphone built just for gamers is not a new one (recall my throwback video featuring the Nokia NGage from 2003). For PC gaming Goliath Razer, updating that idea for 2017 means blending bold design -like a special 120Hz screen and loud speakers- with uncharacteristic restraint (there’s no manufacturer software skin aside from Nova Launcher) and a spec sheet that more than makes up for the lack of Chroma LEDs. Looks aside, a “Nextbit Robin 2” this is not.
But to hear Razer tell it, this isn’t a phone for hardcore gaming. The company isn’t launching a special catalog of titles or even the long-rumored PC-to-phone streaming service. Rather than being a gaming phone, this a “phone for gamers” … and that distinction is an important one to keep in mind if you’re considering pre-ordering one of these.
Confused? Not for long. Join me for the MrMobile first look at the Razer Phone, and be sure you’re subscribed so you don’t miss the full Razer Phone review when it drops!

That's the best placement of the fingerprint scanner ever. Thanks Sony.
Not sure if sarcasm or serious....
Some people really like it on the side. Honestly it's just preference, it's impossible to say front, back or side is best.
Ya it's great you will learn to pick the phone up with your phone on the power button and it unlocks instantly. Would much rather have this then an in screen sensor. Wish more companies would do this like Samsung and their fingerprint scanner placement
The placement is great, Sony fingerprint sensors on the other hand, is not
Jerry Berglund if you don't live in the United States yea
Honestly, 699 for that hardware is surprisingly cheap for a Razer product. I expected it to cost around 900 at least.
I think its a reasonable price.
Ikr. This phone will beat 1+5 until the 1+6. I really like the 2 speakers 🙂
sssshhhhhh.Don't give Razer any funny ideas.This phone is dope though.
Hopefully the cost doesn’t compromise build quality. Seems too good to be true!!
It'll be $900 CAD, probably
Didn't realise 64 GB of storage was no longer acceptable...
Pier Galeone Not for a phone that's for gamers lol. You seen the sizes on some of those games ? 128GB should of then the minimum
MasteredTheUniverse it supports microSD so I don't see it as a con
Alex De La Rosa You can't transfer all games onto the SD card though. There's nothing like internal storage for that.
For a gaming phone or phone for gamers with a lot of games that take up loads of storage and games are often not movable to SD card a 128 GB edition would really have been nice
He's just but hurt because there's a new player in the game and he hasn't seen enough concensus to win him over. I guarantee he'll suddenly love the phone on full review.
Hoping 120hz screens are the next big thing in mobiles.
Saad Khan YES! AGREED!
samsungs are already 120hz but locked to 60hz. but only the exynos version can support it
Alongside with bezel-less display... hell yeah!. 😆
I hope they can find a way to put it in an OLED panel though
40Tman Oled have 120hz? Pretty sure Oled hasn't yet reached the capacity to do that.
I was bombarded by razor phone videos. guess who's I watched First.
MKBHD's ofcourse 🌚👌🏼👌🏼
The Leader of the Mobile Review Pack of course.
DAVE 2D
*Runs away*
It's Razer 🌚😢
I save Michel for last.
Amaan Ali SAME!!!
Wow that is one gorgeous phone actually.
Ikr
dzpian what green.
dzpian yes they should add the green accents but they have the limited edition green razer logo ones for any of the first couple 1000 people to buy
Sony makes this phone already with a better camera
C.W P Sony makes a phone with 8gb of RAM and a 120hz refresh rate?
How Mr mobile hasn't got at least a million subscribers is a mystery to me his narration and editing is second to none!
John Cotton I wonder that all the time ... If I was a millionaire I'd hire him to narrate my every move.
"Mike T, with the chirping of the birds as his natural alarm, he wakes up everyday, fully aware of a narrator in his life. And he wouldn't have it any other" way.
Exactly, love his narration, he should have a minimum of at least 1 million subscribers.
So should I, but you don't see me whining on the Internet, do you?....... 🙄 ohhhh
He doesn't do quick cuts and start every video with "Hey Guys" so people don't know what to do and freak out.
A phone with Nova launcher as their default launcher??? Holy crap!!
Gerardo Leon Jimenez taking laziness to a whole new level
Gerardo Leon Jimenez. I will mostly change it
Damn, aside from the lack of a headphone jack this phone is as good as you can possibly get, the move to a higher framerate display is fantastic, the price is fantastic considering they are going above and beyond, since it is way cheaper than the Pixel 2 XL, Note 8 or LG V30 while offering a set of features not found elsewhere
Fidelator all my thoughts described in this comment
$699? For a Razer Product? Someone's getting fired for not over pricing.
I bought a GIGABYTE AERO 15X as my daily laptop. Casual gamer here. But I wanted a laptop with really good performance that wasn't blasted with red dragons and would look good in a business meeting. THIS PHONE IS EXACTLY THAT. Stealthy Beast. Even if you never use it for gaming, it's a clean stock android phone with beast specs for us power users out there.
It's amazing that we need to go "gamer-y" just to get above average performance from our tech these days.
Hats off to razer for making this phone.
Beastly specs and lower than other flagships. Just a shame it didn't come with Oreo on release. Looking forward to getting this phone for the channel.
Tech Thusiast Would expect nothing else from the Nextbit team.
Stop pasting your comment everywhere
A bit of self advertising there......
Tech Thusiast Root it and put a custom Oreo rom!
Considering no phone has released with the latest version of Android before the latest Google phones update to the latest version of Android(stable).
I'm actually watching the stream waiting for more details and you just released a hands on video XD
How do you keep these secrets from us man?!?!? lol
He hinted about it
golden foxa Ahh so THIS is the phone he mentioned in the Pixel 2 review...
· KING · Yes
No headphone jack on entertainment focused device. Brilliant thought process 🙄
4:38 who cares.
Yes but it has a 24Bit DAC dongle, why would people choose a mediocre headphone jack over that
If it doesn't break like the Robin (literally break in half), I want this. This looks so good.
this thing is actually right up my alley in terms of specs and open bootloader and no bloat.
just wish i was released a year ago so i could get one on ebay for $350
2:45 that's what she said
How is 64gb of storage mere? That’s plenty come on, how greedy we’ve gotten over the years.
It's not "greed." It's a phone specifically built to run high-performance games, which tend to carry large file sizes along with them. Including 128GB or 256GB of storage would seem to have been a logical step.
Red Partyhat 3 so greedy we want a headphone jack!
thats why there is microsd
lol mortals >:(
Makalon102 not like photos or video, a lot of games won't move to SD
I always watch your review videos first before the others!
I was just gonna watch The Verge hands on for this phone but Mr Mobile ad conveniently popped up. So, here I am.
Mr. Mobile reviews are the best reviews, aren't they folks?
I'd like to see them work on a controller for the phone, and have custom software that let's you map your control for any game. That would be a game changer.
Orlando Camacho Now that is very smart.
It would be great if they could release a decent software to stream PC games to their phone.
DAEDRADONKEY I used to use tincotr key mapper, but you need root. What app would you recommend?
Having a controller. Game changer. I'm done.
MOGA pro controller is just like an xbox 360 controller
I do enjoy your videos and hope your channel keeps growing
Michael's video is not usually the earliest, but it is definitely the best in my opinion.
So close, but no headphone jack.
Damnit.
Ya I know it sucks but the headphone jack is dead dude
Where is the rgb?
Ethan Lastinger Thats gonna be amazing.
The screen is RGB
Ethan Lastinger wait for the chroma edition 😀
Bryan Snow that's gonna be nasty
My man
I dig it. I don't even really game much, but I'd love the extra fluidity for scrolling and the speakers for watching video.
I've been saying it for years to a phone company should have Nova Launcher pre-installed. I'm glad razor decided to do this. I think I'm going to pick this up instead of the pixel 2.
Im surprised more people are not talking about the finger print scanner on the side button. I think thats a good alternative place to put it when space is limited (cough cough samsung).
I've only heard a little about razer, but this phone was perfect until I read the "no headphonejack" part of it. I would have taken a battery with 500mah less if they included it, but alas, they did not.
Wow!!
I will buy this brand next! Cause I just got my Note8 already cause I didn't know about this phone. Great Video Sir! Always watched you on pocket.
i would like to see another bag/carry video with a look at peak design's bags. i really love mine and think it'd be a good fit for the videos you make
Tons of first hands on video in my subscription list! But i came here....
XD I'm looking at my inbox now:
Mr mobile: Razer Phone hands on
Austin Evans: Trying the Razer Phone
Android Authority: Razer Phone: A phone for gamers!
Uravgconsumer: Razer Phone: This thing is powerful!
ELECTRO ZAP wheres dave2d?
Love Micheal's Reviews. The only dude that probably carries a thesaurus in his book bag. An actual physical thesaurus book. Brother needs more subscribers. This is gold!
That was just the hands-on? I'm sold. As just a standard phone.
wait can we get a studio tour???????????
8GB of RAM don't mean a lot of shit. I have the OnePlus 5 (SD835/ 8GB RAM) and Xiaomi Mi note 2 (SD821 / 6GB RAM). Both run smoothly with same apps installed.
Watching a new video on this channel is like going to a party
So. You nailed it. First hand on/experience. on the RUclips keep it up
Unloackable bootloader, dat performance, nova launcher prime pre installed! Damn, this was master class from Razer. My only gripe is that ugly thick bezels and lack of a jack!
TheDark Knut You would rather have small bezels over stereo speakers? Tell me that's not true..
They are not thick by any means, you exaggerated
Those Bezels are smaller than the iPhone8's bezels smh
TheDark Knut it's not as if those bezels aren't serving any purpose, the front facing speakers is a major selling point to the phone and is far better for gaming, listening to music in the shower, watching movies etc then let's say a phone with awfully slim bezels and one lousy mono speaker at the bottom that's easily muffled up. If I would have known about this razor phone I would have strongly considered it (if it's available in the U.S) before getting my pixel 2 XL which I'm also satisfied with btw.
This is blowing up!
HD Tech is this the phone mr.mobile alluded to in the pixel 2 review?
frank captivate yup
It's so nice to finally see something that isn't just a flat screen.
Love the fact it has nova coming in!!! This is exciting, the 120 refresh rate, large battery,great speakers... Nice price
But can it run Crysis
Kearne Anthony only at 29fps
Kearne Anthony legendary comment
I like this guy. His meh is way better then that garbage over reacting and acting of ijustine in that iPhone X video
For PC to Phone game streaming, you can just use the 'Moonlight' app. It makes your phone think it's an nVidia Shield so you can stream Steam games with GeForce Experience.
Amazing effects and review....it's almost like a story telling style. Great.
This is truly the most innovative phone of the year.
Ramon McNally You might be right. Should've came with 128 gb of storage minimum though. That may be the only thing they didn't put enough thought in to. Other than that, if the cameras are good... I can't see a reason not to buy it lol
How is it innovative at all? It's a normal phone with a high refresh rate, the iPad Pros already have that tech so it's not like it's new in and of itself. I give it it credit for being the first phone to have the refresh rate, but that's it as far as innovation goes.
The IPad Pro doesn't use it all the time like the razer phone does, so it's actually better in this razer device.
Then they would have to raise the price. Considering it does take SD cards, I rather they spend the 128gb money on waterproofing.
The Samsung s8 the innovative
Do people game on their phones? I feel like mobile games are strictly pick up and play for like 5 mins or so
*pick up and pay
+Rahul Dhakne haha
You haven't played the best mobile games yet.
I've noticed that most phone gaming is done by people who are still in school.
To me it also depends how hot the phone gets. Surprised his review didn't mention the square corners - thought that would be unpleasant to hold. I do find he is getting a good assortment of sponsors.
Nice work finding an interesting sponsor! It really sounds intriguing... Phone looks good too.
I've been watching since pocket now. You're one of my favorites. I think this phone has some really good potential. If it doesn't flop I might buy it at the first price drop as my current phone still works fine.
I wish they added a glowing razer logo on the back 😁
Yay can't wait to play Clash of Clans in glorious 60 FPS!!!
no.... this comment was a joke
I like Dave2D's videos but both of you posted your first-look at same time, and wow, yours is 10x better. Not trying to start anything, just saying, keep it up - you rock!
That logo is just too beautiful as always
"usb c"
yes ...
"stereo speakers"
Yes ...
"louder than any phone on the market"
YEs ...
"120 Hz refresh rate"
YES ...
"4000 mAh battery"
YES!!!!!
"no headphone jack"
never mind ....
Linux /usr/ please! I personally wouldn't lose sleep over a HPJ. The camera better be stellar, otherwise, it's just another phone with a Snapdragon 835.
*Included adapter with built in DAC, I think its a well worth it compromise
Andy I wanna see Juan Bagnell's review on that. If the DAC is supposedly good, it'd be interesting to see ^^
I just don't get this whole thing at all. If you'll spend 700 bucks on a phone, why not buy a pair of $150 Bluetooth buds. Try the jaybird x3's for $120 on amazon right now. I had the x2's for a couple years until I lost them and they were awesome, once you go wireless you'll be wondering why on earth anyone would want a wire between their face and their phone. The only thing I am disappointed with is no wireless charging.
Andy all adapters have a built-in dac, this one just happens to be of higher quality
I'm watching on a Nextbit Robin
Internet Alpha yea, I think it was closer to 15
This could be a great upgrade for you and the other 7 people who bought that phone. :)
Internet Alpha Hey man, it's the literal best phone you can buy for $100. Name one other phone comparable to it at that price.
This phone is such a well thought out package the speakers the screen and the battery amazing
Good review, a hug from Brasil.
Who would rather have a smaller battery and have a headphone jack?
Randiel Rodriguez not intelligent people for sure
Randiel Rodriguez. Headphones jack can be fix.. batteries is a must
I'd rather have both of them in a thicker phone
Yoooooooo I'm early
Mrwhosetheboss ᵐᵃ ᵇᵒᶦ
Angel last name 👊
😎😎
Yo, welllll the only thing I remembered is WHY DOES THE INTRO VANISH FROM TIME TO TIME? 😂
Mrwhosetheboss You da real MVP!! Lol
Nothing to write home about but it's sure nice to see another powerful phone hit the market!
Had me at front facing speakers and Nova Prime. By the time I save up though.. I'll be waiting for the next Razor phone.
Holy crap, that clip of the HDR selfie greatly disappointed me. That's super slow HDR capture 😔
People complaining about the headphone jack are obviously not the targeted market. Try gaming and holding your phone with headphones in the way.
I would like to add that of the several launchers I have used, Nova has been my favorite and remains my favorite
Impressive specs - wouldn't mind seeing it in person.
120 hz on phone but not laptops 🤔🤔
Edwin Tang what do you mean?
True lol, but I think that acer predator 21x has it, hope it comes to other computers.
If this is a phone "for the gamers", then why isn't there a headphone jack?
E Kirchman It has a 24bit DAC adapter! And Front firing Dolby Atmos speakers!
Brilliant movie going with Nova. I'm impressed
I honestly can't say I agree with any of the negatives. More flair? this is a phone you'll carry everywhere, one that'll be expensive to upgrade so you're probably stuck with it. I don't think it should be too bold a statement. to me this phone looks amazing, only drawback is that I'd prefer better screen real estate and OLED. But goddamn, I love that complete rectangular design, it's what sony did right when they tried to do smartphones.
I will be buying this phone it looks badass!
Eclectic Insanity. Ikr.. I can't get my eyes of it. Hopefully they are available here
Last time I was this early my girlfriend left me
Jb Sprinkles based on your profile pic, she never existed lol
Jb Sprinkles holy, made my day
Gas Stove shots fired 🔥
Good.
what a normie meme, I expect better from animu profile pics.
I love everything except the rectangle corners, and the fact my mind is set on a Note 8 lol Thanks for the quick run down of this device, looks fun for whoever gets one.
Watching this from my Nextbit Robin!!!
Wayyyy too big and it isn't waterproof and no headphone jack. I'll pass :/
$700 phone and it only supports GSM carriers. WTF?!
I hate to admit that I'm one of those people who will pause a video to go over all the specs so this phone is refreshing to me. I hope it actually sells though...great video as always Mr. Mobile 😊
Damn now I want a 120Hz for new phones! It looks so fluid.
Coming with Nova Launcher pre-installed is also a great move, well done Razer.
No headphone jack on a gaming phone. Razer literally sells headphones with 3.5 mm jacks. *Face palm*
Met Dee At least it have a 24bit dongle. Which Apple only include a normal dongle.
Met Dee it's not a big deal considering it comes with a huge 4000mah battery with quick charge 4.0 and a dongle with a built-in DAC.
won't be so popular IMO.
I hope so!
Of course Only popular Android is the Samsung galaxy series
Oussama amrani Huawei and motorola (lenovo) are still hugely sucessful. You can't say samsung's galaxy series are the only popular android phones (through they are the most popular).
Bharat Mahajan. Hope it won't be popular because I don't want everyone to have same phone as me
Sold out on their website.
You should have more subscribers. You reviews are all superb.
Unlocked bootloader, AND sim unlocked?! Say no more! I'm already sold on this phone without even knowing this. Thank you so much for being a thorough reviewer and mentioning that. This phone will be a hit among the devs @ XDA. I can't wait for what they'll do with this beast of a phone!
This will sadly flop
Isaac hope not
Dont jump to conclusion, its too early to judge
You are sadly mistaken.
It might not all things considered. People are still willing to buy phones with no headphone jack. They have a fingerprint scanner. Through my screen at least that front panel does look good as far as colors anyway. I don't care about bezels if they are housing good speakers. I'm still a fan of front speakers. Expandable storage is good even though you only get 64 gigs. Wireless charging is borderline useless. The struggle is going to be convincing anyone its worth 700 dollars. And build quality will be called into question. Otherwise the matte black look is pretty nice. I don't care about having a glass back on my phone. The hipster crowd will like that it isn't samsung, apple, or google.
Just wait 2 months and you'll get for 399.00 on Amazon deals.
How do you not have more subsribers? You have great content
Weeewww,,, I’m impressed.
Great hands on Sir 👍🏼
Great hands on again
I'm quite impressed actually. Phones with a serious front stereo speakers are my cup of tea. Design could use a bit of refining but that block shape might help it stands out, it does need more green though
Finally a good sponsor I haven't heard of!
Getting it. That refresh rate is something that once you experience, you will not want to go back.
Great review and beautiful phone. I'll stick with my Pixel 2 XL, but I hope phones are continuing in the direction that this is going with the quality and lower price tag.
definitely going to have this one !!
Another flawless video! Bravo sir!
Wow every tech youtuber uploaded their review at the same time, there are literally 8 razer phone reviews in my sub box in order
Embargos boi
wow, i love the background music ...
The form factor reminds of my old Sony Z1... except for the front facing 🔊
I never expected this phone to be done right!
I like the design... And those speakers plus large battery is awesome!
Now this should be an interesting phone. Full review plz plz plz!
