The Razer Phone - The Peformance Beast

Gaming peripheral outfit Razer is launching a smartphone. Yep, just when you thought the year was winding down and tech reviewers could finally take a breather, this newcomer to the smartphone race has thrown its hat into the ring for the first time: hello, Razer Phone.

Razer Inc. (stylized as RΛZΞR), is a Singaporean gaming hardware company founded by Min-Liang Tan and Robert Krakoff, with headquarters in Singapore and San Francisco. You must have heard about its Razer Blade Pro or Stealth Ultrabook.



What you need to know:

The Razer Phone's core specifications are quietly impressive. There's a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor inside, complete with 8GB of RAM and 64GB of storage that’s expandable by up to 1TB via microSD. Keeping things running is a massive 4,000mAh battery. It comes with Nougat 7.1.1.

On the front is a 5.7in 120Hz 1,440 x 2,560 IGZO LCD display, complete with a pair of 12-megapixel cameras on the back. One is an f/1.7 wide-angle unit; the other is an f/2.6 2x telephoto zoom effort.

So, it's made for game gods as it is purely performance-centric. It would be really unreasonable to miscalculate it by comparing its aesthetics to top flagships which come with bezel-less displays and strikingly superb cameras.

Performance:


That’s certainly no surprise; inside you’ll find Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 830 powering things, with 8GB of RAM and 64GB of expandable storage. In our benchmarks, yet again, everything was neck and neck.
Graphics performance is a similar story. Running GFXBench’s Manhattan 3.0 test recorded a native resolution onscreen result of 40fps, and an offscreen score of 63fps. It appears that despite the 120Hz display, the Snapdragon 830’s GPU is unable to handle higher framerates at 2K resolution.

In a nutshell:

Razer seems to have done just enough to make a decent impression with the Razer Phone. It might not be the last word in cutting-edge design but with its unique 120Hz display and a laundry list of high-end components, it really does set itself apart from 2017’s other flagships.

Now you can whisper to Alexa

Amazon’s Alexa can now listen and respond to whispers, and she will whisper back. Now first, this might set off another wave of anxiety for privacy advocates. Your virtual assistant is not only spying on you and potentially recording or storing your conversations, now she can do even if you tried to keep your voice down. Amazon’s team just made that sensitive microphone function even more acutely. Video demonstrating Alexa whisper: So, why do we need to whisper in the first place? Will it come handy in anyway? Yes. If you whisper, “Echo, play a lullaby,” for the infant who’s almost asleep in your arms, Echo will whisper back, “Here’s a station for lullabies from your Amazon Music library,” instead of screaming at  full startling volume. What's more? Whisper is not the only important feature that will come to Amazon Echo devices this year, we also have bunch of new ones. Guard : Guard will let you say, “Alexa, I’m leaving,” and the device will automatically acti...

Microsoft Edge Arrived for Android and iOS

Last week, Microsoft made a pretty surprising announcement. The company revealed that it would bring its Edge browser to iOS and Android, making it easier for existing Edge users (and possible converts) to take their browsing history, bookmarks, and other data with them. Now the beta app is available for download from the Play Store for some countries. But others can download the APK to give it a try. So how is the browser itself? Well, it feels like a mix of desktop Edge and mobile Chrome. The start page has your frequently-visited pages with a search bar, along with stories from MSN below that (which you can turn off). The UI is split into an address bar and Reading List/History/Bookmarks button at the top, and everything else at the bottom. Both bars pull away as you scroll down the page, and re-appear when you swipe up. Familiar Microsoft Edge features like the Hub allow users to organize the web in a way that cuts through the clutter, making it easier to find, view and manage thei...
