No headphone jack on a gaming phone? This ain't it, chief.

Still 8 gigs of ram
Still 4000 mAh battery
Still still expendable storage
Still D.R.E

MKBHD, PocketNow, TechnoBuffalo, and UrAvgConsumer all dropping videos at once: looks like embargo time is over.

You should have mentioned that a USB-C to 3.5mm headphone jack comes packaged with it in the box.

If I went trick or treating in Marques' neighborhood I'd probably get a phone instead of candy lool

[AyonEcho]

Marques, the kinda dude who wears the merch but never speaks about it. Smooth.

Wow, a phone company taking suggestions from its consumers? Who woulda thought

[arewestilldoingphrasing]

[highvoltagev]

I'm on team Headphone Jack and we're losing.

[echox]

[MappedTech]

[jefferyayako]

Razer: *Removes Embargo*
Every Tech YouTuber: *WOKE*

It's definitely got some improvements compared to the first Razer phone, but I'm going for the Asus ROG phone. High expectations for it. Releases in the US 18 October. Can't wait

How did Razer launched the phone in quiet event ????
We didn't hear anything about the phone before he launched ??
🤔🤔🤨🤨

I personally like the bezels. They have a purpose to provide better sound, and even on my iPhone 8+ it’s something to hold on to. I switched from Samsung to Apple this year, and I have to say their haptic feedback is by far the best. The home button isn’t actually a button, but no matter how many times I use it, it feels like a very satisfying click. Hopefully the next iPhone has TouchID AND FaceID for 2 factor authorization.

I'd rather buy this phone then the ones launched yesterday.

Have had this phone for almost a year. Specs and performance are impressive, especially if you can get it for 500 USD or less. It really is a power house budget phone, but some things to keep in mind:

The durability of the hardware is questionable. My USB C port has been shorting out and phone now has a tendency to freeze/crash once every few days. Its also important to note that while you do get a 1440p screen with 120hz refresh, its not an OLED, but an old school LCD panel. Not bad, but you'll notice that colors aren't nearly as vibrant as an OLED. Screen brightness has been a big issue for me as well.

Marques:
It seems like Razor is trying to listen to its consumers.
After Google Pixel 3 XL disappointment.

16:9 display with big front facing speak grill still looks modern design to me, every manufacturer being a sheep these days, unnecessary tall displays which in turn have ugly notches and useless chins and bad camera humps, I like the way Razer phone 2 is, if the camera is comparable to the competition, probably a better buy than most modern flagships.

PS: Glass back phones suck too, Only the S9 has the balls to pull the look, rest look fragile and unnecessary. Practicality also takes a big hit with glass back phones, these are daily tools not some jewellery that need a case on them all the time.
