the screen of a phone has a better hz than most monitors! naice

What is this fallacy that's appeared in the past year or so that you need a glass back for wireless charging? No, you just can't have wireless charging with an all metal body. I'm aware that people reviewing these phones probably realise the difference, but the wording always implies you need a glass back. Plastic is just fine. Not only is it fine, but it's not likely to get scratched to shit and require a plastic case at all times to protect it.

Superficially a glass back might seem like a more "premium" feel, but there are plenty of interesting textured plastics that can give a similar level of quality in my opinion. Pair that with maybe a metal frame like the Nexus 6.

There's honestly no need for glass on the back of your phone unless you are someone with more money than either sense or you know what to do with.

I just recently unsubbed a lot of tech tubers like uavgconsumber, Zoneoftech and others. But then again i have my fav tech youtubers like you and dimitry. Its just nice to see people who are more natural in the video :)

It's great it comes with a wide angle as the standard shooter...I heard it's way better this time around ... Looking forward to the review...NICE TO SEE THE PHONE DIDN'T CRACK ... OR DID IT🤔 😊

Rofl a """"gaming"""" phone without headphone jack. Razer even sells their own wired headsets dammit

[AlexThorn]

I seriously hope the Cera is good. Doesn't have to touch pixel quality but as long as its good, I think this might be the phone for me.

[kkbqmbu]

Incremental updates that make enough of a difference to consider this. Hmm. Looking forward to a full review.

[TheMusicalDuelist]

I am very excited for the new features. Especially because I haven't gotten the first one yet. I am not sure how I feel about the no headphone jack, but as a Razer fanboy I'm really wanting this. Can't wait for your update on the camera!

[emdea]

Congrats! You were featured in the latest AdoredTV video. Mwahahahha

[lth_lch]

I'm not a gamer, but as someone who constantly consumes media this phone is very attractive. If they release a non-glass back version like I heard they would and the camera is acceptible then I'm pretty much sold on this thing.

[randyrodriguez]

i do hate the fact that it still doesnt have a 3.5mm headphone jack, since more than likely people would be charging it and communicating at the same time. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE SCREEN? they finally added hdr support for their screens. that seems like a pretty big deal since alot of tv's or monitors dont even have that yet. o and fyi this phone is more expensive yes, but phones this price dont do half of what this phone does. and the other phones it competes with are in the $1000-$1200 range

[giggyolly]

They Should have called it the RazerPhone 1.1 as it literally just fixes all of the "cons" of the 1st phone, with nothing exceptionally new.

[Thermalcool]

Would be cool if it has a overclocked or overclockable snapdragon 845 like the ROG phone which features a snapdragon 845 at 2.93ghz

[Xshinobik]

I will be picking this up. I have been looking for a new phone with a 16:9 aspect ratio and no notch.

[stevepearce]

did they upgrade the vibration motor? or at least give the option to adjust the intensity?

[vinyakrohatgi]

Is it worth it.? I see Rog, black shark, 6t, honer play . I don't know what to choose

[wirandaaditiya]

Why we need 120hz when u only reach 30-60fps on mobile gaming or 60 on movie/video just like youtube ?
Is it waste ? or what im missing ?

[Realblack_mnster]

How the hell do you use that controller. Does it not touch the volume and power buttons?

[CaptHotah]

Whats that razer bracelet you got on your hand??

[TheRealShzzm]

after owning a v30 my first question will be is it droppable. second is will it run like crap for some no reason.
