Razer Phone 2

Posted: Sep 21, 2021, 11:19 AM

Phone owned for more than a year

Had this phone since May 2019 and have only just upgraded. The first thing I noticed out of the box was the screen, at the time it was the only 120Hz screen and boy was it an upgrade from the OnePlus 5 I had before it. No issues with power either, even until the last day I used it there was no problem with processor/ram etc. The biggest issue was the storage which at 64 GB was not cutting it these days. There were a few software glitches over the years but nothing that wasn't fixed by just restarting the device. The largest issue in my opinion was the cameras, not only were they a bit weak at the time, the software was extremely buggy and despite multiple fixes by razer, continued to be an issue throughout it's lifecycle. At certain times it would say "not able to connect to camera" which was rather inconvenient. Another strange one was the flashlight being unavailable at random times.

On the whole I enjoyed using my razer phone 2 as I went into it knowing the cameras were not the best, and not to expect the finest operations based on the fact razer is a very small smartphone manufacturer compared with the likes of OnePlus.

Overall I would recommend to anyone who appreciates gaming and the smoothness of the screen.
