Review Razer Phone

The Razer Phone design is identical to the Nextbit Robin. No wonder because this smartphone is artificial Nextbit that has been acquired Razer. Needless to say, we say this smartphone is good in the eye, but not good at hand.

Razer Phone is a smart guy. The design is a rigid box, black color doff, large dimensions, rather thick, and pointed corners. Yes, so if only seen it, this smartphone feels really elite. But when held, so make trouble.

The reason as we mentioned earlier. This smartphone has a 5.7 inch 16: 9 screen with a decent upper and lower bezel. Automatically make big dimension. The body is also thick like Sony Xperia. And the most severe is super slippery body and corners pierced hands.

The slippery part is not just behind it, but the sides are also very slippery. Frightened to fall. It seems a bit strange, with the title of a gaming smartphone, this smartphone is not good enough to be used nge-game for long. 10-15 minutes is enough to feel pain in the hand.

Suffering has not stopped there yet. Usually we always use the casing to make the grip so much better. And since Razer is a newcomer, so finding his casing is very difficult. Actually there are official casings sold separately. But still rarely sell plus the price above Rp500 thousand.

While for everyday use, another thing that makes less comfortable is the physical button. Power button and volume too down. Even more uncomfortable is the power button is flat and hard to touch. So if not yet normal, we must find first where the position. Oh yes, this button also functions as a fingerprint sensor, similar to Sony Xperia.

Just info, Razer Phone does not have waterproof certificate and dust. And this smartphone also does not have an audio jack because the area for this audio jack is filled with a large battery plus cooling system. Razer also provides a bonus audio adapter with a 24-bit DAC if you want to use external earphones.

Among all the things that make me uncomfortable, fortunately there is one thing that is fun, that is two grill speakers that immediately shoot to the ear, above and below. Its position is safe, so will not the closure of our hands.

Perhaps because of lazy or not had time to develop their own UI, Razer finally partnered with Nova to use Nova Launcher in Razer Phone. For us, this is good news because it is the right choice.

It seems very rare users who do not like Nova Launcher. This UI offers experience and also look similar to Android stock, but with more customization. Can change the background color, change the font size, change the icon, and others.

Razer also provides quite a lot of game-free themes that can be downloaded free after creating a Razer account first. Another thing we like, this smartphone does not carry bloatware at all.

And because this is a gaming smartphone, so we'll find an essential feature, Game Booster in the settings menu and App Drawer. This feature has built-in dont disturb mode let us not disturbed phone or notif enter when playing game.

There is also an option to set the hardware configuration when playing games. Can be set by default for all games or set per game title. Options that we can change from the screen resolution, clockspeed CPU, frame rate, plus one more anti aliasing to further refine the graphics.

predicate smartphone gaming, so it is certain Razer equip monster specs in this smartphone. The CPU uses Snapdragon 835, 8 GB of RAM, 64 GB of storage, and 4,000 mAh battery. At a glance speknya like other lagship, for example OnePlus 5T which of course also ngacir for gaming. So, what makes things different?

So that makes Razer Phone called smartphone gaming, the first is the screen. This is the world's first smartphone with a Quad HD IGZO display that has a refresh rate of 120 Hz, not a standard 60 Hz. If the PC-like technology NVIDIA G-Sync or AMD Freesync.

The benefits we can feel when scrolling the screen, amazing smooth just like the iPad Pro. To play the game also feels very smooth. But unfortunately can not be seen and felt through the lens of the camera. Must try it yourself directly.

Razer also offers the option to change the screen resolution and refresh rate of the screen. For the resolution can be downgraded to HD or Full HD. While the refresh rate can go down to 60 or 90 Hz. Why this option? Certainly to save battery.

This refresh rate of 120 Hz will make the gaming experience much more enjoyable and satisfying. Because the game looks so amazing smooth without lag, without stuttering or sendatan.

In addition to the kece screen, Razer Phone also has a loud speaker, the fastest, sharp, and detail in the smartphone class. Plus there are also Dolby Atmos and THX certificates. We ourselves never use the maximum volume. Volume 50-70 percent is enough to nge-game or listen to home music or in the room.

Do not be expecting a superior camera in a gaming smartphone. Although on paper speknya current with dual-camera 12 MP f / 1.8 for the main lens and f / 2.6 for telephoto lenses, but the features and quality is very standard. This camera has PDAF, but without OIS.

Camera application used in Razer Phone is Google Camera. There is no mode option other than auto. Even the usual portrait mode on dual-camera smartphones also does not exist yet. Absolutely minimal option.

But he said portrait or bokeh mode is currently being worked on and will appear through Android OS Oreo upgrade in the first quarter of 2018 later. So in other words, dual-camera Razer Phone is still not useful for now.

Create selfie, front camera resolution 8 MP f / 2.0 fixed focus and no beautify mode. For shots more or less the same as behind the camera. Standard for the flagship smartphone category.
