This phone has better specs than my laptop
Nithun Selvaa same here lol

Nithun Selvaa your laptop must be really sucks.
kaiZen Your grammar must be really bad :)
Nithun Selvaa my laptop is just a tiny bit better than it
But can it run Calendar on high settings?
UnPhayzable For a little bit, before it overheats
NOOO THAT'S WAY TO INTENSIVE
*Calendar
It hardly runs on medium settings. Don't even try.
UnPhayzable my nokia 3310 can at 120 -hz- FPS
This phone has more ram than my laptop😑
this phone has more ram than a ton of pcs
but PC has actual use for that RAM.. 8GB RAM on a mobile phone in 2017 is just stupid and just there to show off..
I think that someone who has money for this now sure as heck wont wait around when Razer Phone 2 comes out,so future proofing is just a thing people say to justify the price and over the top specs.
agreed,but 8gb is too much of an overkill..and you might wanna look into your background apps. 3gb on idle is not normal.
I have mi notebook pro with 16gb of ram. So no..
I see what you did there at the beginning ESSENTIALLY
All that phone for that brilliant price of $700. Bloody well done. Look forward to the review.
TheBlooRayChannel I say... $600 would be a better price
Still missing some key things, but interesting concept
An amazing price for razer. Fucking amazing
LiteGaming I think $100 would’ve been better
Ben Jammin that's too cheap...
Waiting for Marques to come out with his new phone company
yeah, no need for marquez built his own company, just a company that makes marquez their product director
Yeah, his phones would probably come with a dbrand skin set up.
Razer just released a phone and raised the bar for flagship phones! well done.
And then followed the no headphone jack train so nobody is gonna buy it
meh.. don't really care tbh. Prefer wireless, it gets quite annoying during training with a wire constantly being in the way.
ill still buy it
Zalata raised the bar my ass lmao
Chris K explenation?
cool,i found out everything i wanted to know about the razer phone before buying it only from this 1 video. totally subscribing to your channel
Watching a 120fps phone in 30fps on 60fps monitor! yeah..
FPS and Hz are completely different.
no they're not.
Ignitablegamer 120 fps phone would be correct if u want to say thats the max amount of fps the phone js able to display :) But its not a 120 fps phone in general. fps = frames per second Hz = how often the display can be refreshed per second
But the max frame you can view in youtube videos is 60 fps anyway
technically since the screen on this phone is variable refresh rate my statement is correct as the Hz on the screen is the same as the current FPS. Always gotta be thinking there
damn i never thought id consider getting one of these...
JuiceHead aw shit make fallout thanksgivingy now g
JuiceHead Hey Juice what if it played Fallout 4 lol
JuiceHead how did I know you were a fan of MKBHD
There's no headphone jack though...
Hey! You've inspired me to write a song about cabbage! I've uploaded it to my channel & I'd love to hear what you think :)
I can not wait for your test review. I was going to hold off on buying a phone this year but i like the razor phone
That desktop PC behind you in this vid is freaking Sweet!
Like the smoothness of the ui
The Professor If you dont have good words in your mind then atleast shut da fk up and stay muted. Dont spoil the comment section by posting such kind of abusal regarding parents. Try to respect atleast.
Hey guys, we've got a good guy over here!
The Professor nice random mom joke, how old are you?
The Professor was that necessary? Grow up.
Aerske seven year old*
I'm not a gamer, but this seems like a great phone! Razer is going after their niche market, and seem to be killin' it right off the bat
Dirk Delfortrie the really sad part is, it's cheaper than the iPhone 8 or the pixel 2.
Robco Gaming That's how it starts out lol
Dirk Delfortrie and two forward facing speakers. Why dont most phone maker realise how important that is when you dont wanna use a headphone jack. Thats the only reason i was still holding on to my nexus 6p
Great point! External sound is completely overlooked by every other manufacturer ... Especially since we don't always want to use Bluetooth Speakers
And the pricing is very aggressive in this $1000 Note and iPhone X era
I really want one now. I was thinking of the HTC u11+ but not now defo going for the razor thanks for the awesome review
I can't wait for your review on this phone
Take note Essential Phone, this is how you do a first phone with the essentials!
Pman Essential fixed camera and price is now 500$. Great phone for the price
Lol Essential phone is way better
I''m dealing with it now. It is living up to it's name now. Reading through the recent AMA. They are perfecting this phone as well as designing the next variant as we speak.
Next year Bethesda be like: Skyrim for Android.
still, with razer as the backer, they might just pull it off anyway, let's hpe so!
cant wait for the full review.
YES!!!! Gonna love this. Great review.
Razer Phone Chroma coming soon?
Hey! You've inspired me to write a song about cabbage! I've uploaded it to my channel & I'd love to hear what you think :)
bro stop for pete's sake everyone, report that guy for spam
For only 9999.99$, order now limted time only.
Harry Hill Nobody gives a fuck about cabbage... Stop!
Ben Thunder chroma one will be 2000$
When your phone has a higher refresh rate than your PC monitor
Jay D saaaaame
Jay D not me pleb. i got a 165 hz monitor.
165 hz? bro you're so cool bro, so cool.
Iconic Intro 😎
I'm impressed! I'm not fussed about gaming but that battery capacity. Nice!
I'LL TAKE TEN
I KNOW RIGHT
CinemaByte I'll buy zero It's gonna be thousands
hmmm ima take about 475834219453 to make sure i don't get a dud COMPLETELY necessary
TAKE MY NON EXISTANT MONEY!!!
Tarik Islam it is only $699 read the discription
I can see this as a dark horse for the 2017 Smartphone Awards
I bet there will be a lot of quality control issues
Yesss, 4000mah battery ! First in flagship phone since android birth
Randy Burhan Noooo. Huawei's Mate 9 and Mate 10 use 4000mah batteries too.
what does Dark horse mean?
Someone that comes out of nowhere with a good chance to win.
This is a beast. I loved the design and specs. Here i was thinking when another phone would get my attention besides Galaxy S and Note lines... Good job Razer. My question is: will it come to Brazil?
This is on my list for my next upgrade up against the S8 and Note8.

Hey! You've inspired me to write a song about cabbage! I've uploaded it to my channel & I'd love to hear what you think :)
Codie King what is RBG?
What about the display lol
RGB Screen duh!
Time for OnePlus to release a phone with 12GB RAM. 😂
Hey! You've inspired me to write a song about cabbage! I've uploaded it to my channel & I'd love to hear what you think :)
Harry Hill Bro I see your post under almost every comment, chill dude...
Social Commentary Channel lol
Social Commentary Channel why not 128gb???????
I like that you presented Razer as a quality company, when having a Roccat gaming mouse in the frame. Makes me love my Roccat Kone Pure even more :3
Its just like with PCs, I built mine mainly for gaming but it works incredibly on everything else you do on a computer.
Everyone's hating on the design, but I think it looks gorgeous. The back design is sublime and the blocky/retro look takes inspiration from the sony line and looks very premium.
"I want my omniscient rectangle to look fancy"
that stupid Razer logo tho
I like that it's different
Agree, I like the design
I also loved it. It reminded me of my LG Prada 3.0. Rounded design are nice, but the squared ones look so much better!!
I see now why Skyrim going to the phones ..
In your full review I hope you will test battery life with the different refresh rates. Tom's Hardware found the battery life to be only average but they don't say what refresh rate they were testing.
Nice review! One question though, how do you feel about the camera on this one?
For anyone wondering, the intro song is NOT Ongoing thing by 20syl. Its actually The Woods - Alltta
Thanks, now i can try to pull that cancer out of my head
$699 is the price, he forgot to say somehow since it's like the most important feature to be honest.
Hey! You've inspired me to write a song about cabbage! I've uploaded it to my channel & I'd love to hear what you think :)
fuck off
it's a pretty decent price for what you get when you think about it compared to the competition. The only unanswered question is how good would Razer be with the software updates
Yea, It is at such a competitive price for a flagship
Its in the description
You are a great speaker. Well done!
Wow! What a phone. Not a gamer but will be getting this phone. Its the phone I have been waiting for for so long.
The only Razer phone I want is the Motorola RAZR
Angel Gentchev ....... Bitch, the door
Angel Gentchev apparently this phone is better than the Motorola Razr right out of the gate you got at least consider something like this probably won't disappoint has Nova Launcher as a stock launcher that's even better
Only OGs know about the Razr. I used to have one in 5th grade. In 2008
OGs in da house! Motorola Razr V3 still is, and forever will be, the best phone I have ever owned.
Hello Moto
I feel like gaming is the tech equivalent of "military grade" because of the specs demanded compared to the average day-to-day user
You mean "Military Grade" according to those COD, Battlefield "EXPERTS"?
Except when it comes to processors, graphics cards, headphones, harddrives, etc. Professional market is leading there.
Military grade means the lowest bidder
Exactly. Milspec does not deliver the highest performance, rather than ultradurable stuff at the lowest price possible ( which usually is freaking high, because free government money ya'll)
Private market crushes government market.
Marques is a type of guy, who wont let you get bored even if you listen to him for years.
Marques, you are a bona-fide reviewer without a doubt! Unbox Theraphy, totally missed the Nextbit Robin...lol.
This honestly looks pretty great in most departments (except no headphone jack) but I think that the main issue of this phone is that it's focus is on gaming. Most popular phone games are not hardware intensive, because they want to be able to be played on any phone. So this phone opens you to more niche high prefomance games like racing, fighting, and FPS's but those games suck without tactile controls so if you wanted it for the gaming experience just get a switch?
Victor Mats Keep in mind that there is also the media consumption side of it.
media consumption needs a headphone...
JACK!!!
flow Not really.
Don't know how you can enjoy any media on a phone unless its some trashy porn.. i wouldn't even want to see good porn on a phone
This phone is faster than my own PC
ijonino my condolences.
ijonino this phone is faster than me!
Feels bad man
ijonino+ F
*it hurts to live*
Good job Razor, well played.
Would Be AWESOME If All Phone Brands Built A Phone. Each Company Putting In Their Best "Interests" & "Ideas" 👌👊🏼💯
For the price point and first attempt at a smart phone. Well done Razor! Very impressive
Technically no. The makers of this smartphone already worked on the Robin.
Wtf do you mean "for the pricepoint"? It's a flagship phone with a matching price.
JPx MODz - What's the price?
+
699
I like how Marques casually has an OMEN in the background like it's no big deal LoL
no biggie they are TOTALLY super cheap
I'm actually really interested in this phone, but my main concern is the update slated Q1 of 2018. I was talking to my brother, and he loved his M8 stock out of the box, but when they updated the OS, the phone became terribly laggy and wasn't the same out-of-box experience. I'm sure you're planning a full review of the Razer phone as it was just released, and the specs for gaming reassures me more of its performance and future performance, but I think it would be beneficial to see how the update Q1 would affect the phone's performance. Nothing like dropping 700+ (accessories and all) on a phone and then regretting it.
Nice product! original and well done!
But the question is , Can it run Crysis ??
You are in the wrong channel buddy ..
probably
haha
asking the real questions
Adhito If it could run windows in the first place, it could. The 835 has more power than a freaking PS3 xD
But can it run Crysis??
lol
😂😂
I was gonna say that 😂
Nop
Honestly, probably.
You are good at reviewing!
i actually like the big speaker grilles, and the overall solid, stealthy industrial look - never thought i would consider a razer phone!
I hope they will sell it world wide because I need one
why wouldnt they??
Florian Dechering cause they don't sell their laptops everywhere
King Of the monsters They sell it in the US and EU
It's Razer so unfortunatelly it's quite unlikely :/ I tried to get my hands on one of the Razer laptops without any success (I live in the central Europe mind you). The only thing available here, with even crazier prices of course, are the most mainstream peripherals they make. I guess it will be the same case with this smartphone as with their laptops.
where do u live? not creepy or anything.... lol
Better than my pc
A potato pc?
Frank The Tank Do you realize that laptops are PC's? Even smartphones are. A PC is just a personal computer which means that it is a computer for personal use (1 person.) So pretty much everything with an OS like Windows, Android, IOS is a PC.
The Snapdragon 835 has worse overall performance than an Intel Atom, and that thing is a low-end office CPU. Puts the "insane specs" into perspective when talking about smartphones.
ZepaniZeppos - Computer Channel I wouldn't go that far calling a phone a PC. Phones are just computers.
What do you mean?? PC means personal computer and it's definition is that it's a computer meant for personal use, that's pretty much what a smartphone is right?
That price and what you get it absolutly awesome 😍
would be nice to test CPU throttling beaten this and S8 or LG V30 because they all use 835
Waiting for MSI to come out with their phone
Adidasp4 ohh yeah
Are they actually lol
EVGA would make a sleek stealthy all black phone.
Adidasp4 yea a phone full of bloatware
That would be funny. the competition is just shit for a gaming phone😂
when you are so early that a mkbhd video is in 360 p
I know that feeling :D
When you complain about the quality not the content shut up and watch the video
lol I wasn't complaining... I just usually am not this early so I watch videos in 1080p+ so it was surprising when I clicked on the video.
Definitely going to buy it for old school runescape!
i was skeptical at first but its a well designed powerhouse of a phone, good review as well
*Razer nailed it* 🔥🔥🔥
except it doesn't have a headphone jack...
No headphone jack, immediately went from being a perfect 10/10 to a 4/10
they pretty much did what he was talking about years ago in the dream phone video. thats actually pretty sick BUT NO HEADPHONE JACK ._. FUCK APPLE FOR INTRODUCING THIS SHIT
SWAROOP BHARASKAR coping nokia
Yah right....Where is the RGB? I expect it to cover the entire phone, not just a tiny portion on one side.
Essential could learn alot
Where did you get that hoodie?
I have that exact same jacket and whats really crazy is I saw that jacket twice this week in different colors.
Wow look at that 120hz display on this 30fps video phenomenal!
Exactly. Shoudve been at least 60
You can't see a difference between 30 fps and 120 fps.
oooh boy... here it comes
ulysses cervantes get out
Well Sucks to hear that a KZhead video STRESSES your phone to the point it drops below 30fps.
120 Hz display is badass. Building in cooling with the entirety of the phone is nice. No bloatware is good to hear.
I am starting to love this phone
Happy 7 million subscribers
Holy crap, this phone has more RAM then total storage on my old phone
It has more ram than my computer smh...
Hey! You've inspired me to write a song about cabbage! I've uploaded it to my channel & I'd love to hear what you think :)
Constantine T That's sad lol.
Same
Lol same here
I've got a Switch for gaming on the go and there's no headphone jack, but they did a pretty good job on their first phone.
the phone is more powerful then the PC I'm currently using.
better frame rate than xbox one
ArteMis you are dumb
Ken Taylor It's true tho
no shit
he said Xbox one you wicked piece of shit
SamuraiHageshii yes both get fucked by a smartphone
WOW.. i can be a TRUE gamer now in Clash Of Clan
Eriz Heizlan 😂😂😂😂. Exactly
Eriz Heizla clash Royale better
Rowan Carrias no
Eriz Heizlan pretty much lol
Eriz Heizlan not even close. I can play games all the way up to the GameCube on this bad boy.
I've never seen a new startup smartphone so good and popular. It shouldn't fail like the fire phone essential phone etc.
We're getting all these new phones with dual front facing speakers. Would love to see a comparison between the audio king of 2016 the axon 7 vs the Pixel 2 and Razer phone.
I'm disappointed that this video doesn't make use of the 120hz display
It can't.
It shan't
Does KZhead even support 120hz...?
Goober and Buddy its not just a youtube problem. None of you have 120hz phones to watch a test video of 120hz on anyways
When people cant read sarcasm smh
Well, it looks way better than I anticipated, and not stupidly overpriced. Solid.
ikr Razer wising up and the fanboys are even more happy
Agreed, 4000mah is the real eye-catching feature. Maybe the other manufacturers will take a hint.
@Marques, well reviewed and kudos to you. Its a mobile with a good config built only for the gaming however the form factor is more or less same as the Sony Xperia series of mobiles, Not better than Xperia when compared to Razr
Can it play battlefield at 60fps and at 4k?
Pro Player 1⃣ kof
Kek
Pro Player 1⃣ do you like sports candy
Meatball Sub Sure
If it can play Candy Crush of course it can play Battlefield!
*RAZER ON FIRE!*
Hkm Saharan true
On snakes 🐍 ;)
call 911
Hkm Saharan it’s cutting edge😂😂GET IT?!?!?
Tommaso Gouery Vlogs 😂
I love how at the back in the wall he has Red Phone pattern as decor... its all psycological stimulation to be ready when the phone comes out :O
The point of pro motion is that the refresh rate is variable up to 120hz, not that the display can do 120hz. The feature is there to allow 120hz and save battery when possible.
All tech channels uploading the SAME FREAKING TIME !!! Wow lol 😂😂😂😂😂
ikr
Hey! You've inspired me to write a song about cabbage! I've uploaded it to my channel & I'd love to hear what you think :)
you wrote that song one month ago, dumbass
$700? good deal, way better deal than compared to those $1000 flagships
s3KsH1aS1aN yup good deal for sure
itd still buy a one+ over razer shit
The Galaxy S8 is under $600
s3KsH1aS1aN 1000$ phone is getting normal !!! These big companies know how to make people pay more
Heavily dislike how we are letting these kinds of business practices slide. Paying high premiums for new models that are marginally beneficial for casual or business use is ludicrous. Just waiting for the next big budget smartphone, and so far those Razor specs are looking promising.
Clean looking phone. Surprisingly impressive.
I got high hopes for the next few years with this company. I'll definitely check this phone out.
Now I can play Minecraft at better quality
Great Nova launcher Prime in built cool!
Yeah it doesn't have a 3.5 mm jack but it has an adapter with a very good DAC, that means you'll still have high quality sound.
Aaah yeah, I did see what he did there. Man this phone sounds really incredible for $699. It's unfortunate that with the added heat dissipation that they didn't slightly overclock the CPU or GPU portion. I see the Geekbench 4 results but what about the storage speed? I can't seem to find if it is using UFS 2.1 or some other type of storage technology.
This phone sounds amazing! Hopefully is sells well, I would love to see Razer become a major competitor in the future.
I see what you did there ;)
Lol 😅
Hey! You've inspired me to write a song about cabbage! I've uploaded it to my channel & I'd love to hear what you think :)
What did he do I don't get it?
lol "essentially"
it is a scam don't do it
*BUTTERY SMOOTH PLAY EXPERIENCE*
excellent review
