RAZER PHONE 2
The Razer Phone 2 is the very definition of flagship performance
and true mobile gaming.
It boasts the only true 120 Hz display, resulting in
silky-smooth action without any lag or stuttering. Combining the
5.7" display's 120Hz framerates with a 50 percent brighter screen
than the one in the first Razer Phone, the Razer Phone 2 continues
to take the lead in mobile gaming.
The first Razer Phone made history by being able to churn out
audio at record levels without distortion. The Razer Phone 2 is
even louder and clearer than before, thanks to upgraded
hardware and Dolby Atmos.
The Razer Phone 2 offers up to 30 percent more performance than
its predecessor, thanks to the combination of the latest components
and thermal cooling solutions. The Qualcomm 845 Snapdragon chipset
and Adreno 630 graphics processing unit (GPU) blaze through the
most demanding apps, their performance enhanced by the Razer
vapor chamber cooling system which provides industry-leading
thermal cooling.
The Razer Phone 2 improves its imaging capabilities with a new
rear dual-camera setup that offers a 12 MP wide-angle lens with
optical image stabilization (OIS) and a 12 MP telephoto lens with
2x zoom. Be it fast action or low-light scenes, the Sony IMX
sensors are tuned to capture low-noise images with a wide gamut of
colors. On the front, the 8 MP camera supports video streaming
at full HD resolution, a boon for all live-streaming
professionals.
The Razer Phone 2 is now powered by Razer Chroma, the
world's most popular RGB lighting system for gamers. The rear of
the phone features the Razer triple-headed snake logo that glows in
16.8 million colors to provide app notifications (such as Facebook
comments or WhatsApp messages). Razer Chroma also allows you to
customize lighting effects such as Static, Spectrum Cycling and
Breathing.
The Razer Phone 2 packs a 4,000 mAH capacity battery for
all-day gaming and entertainment needs, and Razer continues to
improve battery efficiency. Wireless charging is now
enabled on the Razer Phone 2 with its new glass back. Razer has
announced a new wireless charger featuring Chroma.
If you prefer plugging in a USB-C cable, Qualcomm QuickCharge
4+ allows users to charge the phone from a flat battery to 50
percent charge within just 30 minutes.
The Razer Phone 2 has also been tested for IP67 resistance to
dust and water.
As the pioneer in PC esports and now mobile esports, Razer
continues to work with the largest number of game publishers in the
industry to bring about the best gaming experiences.
The Razer Phone 2 has been optimized for today's hottest mobile
titles like "PlayerUnknown Battlegrounds Mobile (PUBG Mobile),"
"Rival Crimson x Chaos," "Marvel Future Fight," "Guns of Boom,"
"RuneScape" and more.
The Razer Phone 2 is the only phone officially certified by
Netflix for HDR (high dynamic range) video content and Dolby
Surround 5.1 audio content.
Included with the phone are Razer Cortex and Razer
Theme Store apps. Razer Cortex will help users organize their
games on their phone as well as recommend the latest games
optimized for 120 Hz gaming. It will also optimize the Razer Phone
2's performance for different games, either with easy presets or
manual settings.
The Razer Theme Store on the Razer Phone 2 offers exclusive
themes and wallpapers featuring today's top gaming titles. Today
gamers can already enjoy themes featuring "Vainglory," "Arena of
Valor," "Tekken," "Guns of Boom," "Gear Club" and "Titan Assault,"
and you can soon download "PUBG Mobile" themes.
