Razer Phone is official with 120Hz screen, 8GB of RAM, 4,000 mAh battery

Razer is officially . The gaming-focused company back in January, and today it's unveiled the first device to emerge out of that acquisition: the . A simple name hides massive specs, in this case. Design-wise, the Nextbit heritage is clear, what with all the sharp corners. The color scheme is much more business-friendly, however, which may come as a surprise from a company that absolutely loves green LEDs. The Razer Phone is made out an all-aluminum CNC chassis, has a 24-bit DAC, and it boasts two front-facing stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos sound, each with its own amp and they're certified by THX (a first for a phone). Razer claims it's the loudest handset ever. The screen is a 5.7 QHD IGZO LCD with wide color gamut and 120Hz refresh rate, twice as much as you normally get from the best non-Apple mobile devices. It's packing an adaptive refresh technology that syncs the GPU and the display. This is called UltraMotion and was developed in cooperation with Qualcomm to ensure no tearing or lag even at high frame rates. Battery life isn't affected. Razer is using the Snapdragon 835 chipset like everyone else launching high-end Android smartphones this year, but it's paired it with a whopping 8GB of RAM, and that's still not something you see every day. The dual rear camera setup consists of a 12 MP f/1.75 main shooter and a 13 MP f/2.6 2x fixed zoom lens, along with a dual-tone LED flash. On the front you get an 8 MP snapper for selfies. The fingerprint sensor is in the power key, and the Razer Phone runs Android 7.1.1 Nougat (with an update to Oreo coming in Q1 next year). It ships with Nova Launcher Prime Razer Edition. There's 64GB of expandable storage and keeping the lights on is a mammoth 4,000 mAh battery, on par with what we've seen inside the and and much beefier than usual for a top of the line handset. Razer says you can watch movies for 12 and a half hours on its phone, listen to music for 63 and a half hours, and play Hearthstone for 7 hours straight. With support for Qualcomm QuickCharge 4.0+, which means it charges from 0 to 85% in just one hour. The Razer Phone measures 158 x 78 x 8 mm, and weighs 197g. It will become available later this month for $700 unlocked.
