I have the Razer Phone — ask me questions!

[Alex Dobie]

Here it is. Review soon. Until then, drop questions here and I'll do my best to answer them.

 

[Lucy Davies]

Don't want you to destroy your phone but is it waterproof or dust proof & can it do AR mode on Pokemon go?

Hello Alex,

Does the razer phone have a notification led?

 

[Alex Dobie]

No water resistance. Haven't tried Pokemon Go, but no reason why it shouldn't work

 

[Alex Dobie]

Hello Alex,

Does the razer phone have a notification led?

Yep

Does it snap pics fast or slow? Is shutter lag present? Its pretty much the same size as the Nexus 6P right? do the buttons feel plastic? I heard they might be plastic but they look metal in the photos.

 

[Bruce_Wayne8887]

Does the screen get super bright? any light bleed?

 

[jaxidian]

Are those plastic antenna lines I see on the corners?

Hey Alex
Can't wait to get the phone!

- How good would you describe the speakers? I mean in comparison to other phones, are there anything even close to them?

What about the quality of the screen, when you watch youtube, videos etc.

And last, how does the DAC hold up against the lg v30?

Does it have a Gaming Mode / Gaming Tools similar to Samsung's where you can block notifications while playing?

How do you feel about the LCD display? Would you prefer a phone with an LCD display that runs at 120HZ or an OLED/AMOLED at 60?

- How responsive is the FP scanner?
- How pocketable is it?
- Would you say its slippery (laying on surfaces or in hand)?
- Apps2SD support?
- Website says a rear wide angle lense and telephoto.. Yet no video mentions the wideangle. Would you say its as wide as v30/g6?

This I feel is one of the most important questions. Lol.

It's fast. Power button/fingerprint feels a little plasticky.

This looks like it's be a great multimedia phone, but does it really feel like it's "for gamers"? Is it actually great for multimedia?

- Very fast
- Surprisingly pocketable, but still big.
- Not that I can see, but there is adoptable storage
- Wide angle lens is just regular angle, not V30-style

Yep. Speakers are super-loud, screen looks great and it's actually 16:9

I'm easy. I think this phone's display looks great, and the 120Hz stuff is definitle visible in normal use. I prefer the colors of SuperAMOLED though.

 

[Bruce_Wayne8887]

Does it feel smoother than a pixel like some are saying? does their software offer built in theme support?

Hey Alex, what's the clock speed and the Antutu Benchmark score?
