Razer Phone 2

The Razer Phone 2 is one of the few high-end flagships you can buy this year at the sub-$1,000 price point. It's an excellent flagship choice as long as your main priority isn't the camera.

If you are looking for something special, the Razer Phone 2 will be perfect for you, and not just because of the logo.

A slight upgrade but still lacking in some key areas... This is a very enjoyable phone.

Wired | Jeffrey Van Camp

The Razer Phone 2 is wonderful for playing games, but it isn't very comfortable to hold, or a great phone for taking photos. Even if you are a hard-core gamer, there are a lot of Android Phones that are just about as powerful.

The Razer Phone 2 is perfect for PUBG sessions on the go, but it gets a few basics wrong.

SlashGear | Chris Burns

Much like its predecessor, the Razer Phone 2 offers up a unique proposition... If you absolutely need the highest performance in a smartphone display, this is basically your only choice.

Expert Reviews | Nathan Spendelow

Despite welcome changes, some important issues remain. As such, the Razer Phone 2 narrowly misses out on a recommendation.

If you wanted a Razer Phone but decided to wait for the second generation, you'll find your patience rewarded. For non-gamers, however, some compromises are unlikely to convince them to forgo the likes of Samsung and Huawei.

Unlike its predecessor, it doesn't undercut the competition in terms of price, making it a tough sell at full price for all but the most diehard mobile gamers and Razer fans.

A niche proposition has some excellent features – including fast refresh rate screen and illuminating rear logo – but a design that can't hold its own against the current crop of flagships. As a stand-out device with points of difference it's sometimes brilliant though.

The Razer Phone 2 doesn't have the camera chops to displace any of the new iPhone XS or Pixel 3 models. For a flagship phone to be taken seriously in 2018, you need a camera you can count on, and I can't count on the Phone 2's cameras. What I can count on the Razer Phone 2 for is playing games, having great battery life, and light-up, colorful Chroma. And for a phone that's primarily made for playing games, that might be enough.

The Razer Phone 2 offers good performance, excellent audio and a 120-Hz display, but the phone's camera still needs work.

TechnoBuffalo | Danny Zepeda

If media consumption and gaming are the two main reasons you buy a phone, the Razer Phone 2 is worth taking a look at. If not, then don't even consider it because it will disappoint you.

PC Mag | Ajay Kumar

The Razer Phone 2 is a great Android phone for gaming, but it's pretty average at everything else.

Digital Trends | Julian Chokkattu

Razer has gaming down, but still can't quite master the essentials.
