Spec-wise it's definitely a beast - a highly angular one.

All good except for the obsolete bezels, which is a deal breaker in 2017/2018

    It sure is quite interesting phone, but I'm not interested. I'm serious PC gamers so I do know 120Hz makes a difference. But I hardly play games on my phone. Even when I do, I only play some simple games. I strongly rather have beautiful AMOLED on my Note 8 over 120Hz LCD. I wish note 8 had stereo speakers but no big deal. No best phone speakers sound anywhere close to my expensive high-end headphone anyway. And I won't accept any phone without a headphone jack. No IP68 is a disappointment. I hate babying the phone when I'm outside in the rain or snow. I want to be able to use my phone at any moment without worrying about getting it wet. No OIS is just like another Xperia's same mistake, simply unacceptable. OIS does make huge differences. Lastly, are they serious that it doesn't support Daydream VR? What kind of gaming phone that doesn't support VR. Maybe because due to Daydream's OLED requirement?

      Avovymous, 02 Nov 2017you're not obliged to get the phone if you want, half of yo... moreThe very fact that u mentioned OLED, AMOLED and Super AMOLED as though they are three things shows that u have no clue on what u r commenting.
      Super AMOLED is just AMOLED but with Samsung branding.
      AMOLED is a type of OLED. P-OLED being the other one. So all AMOLEDS are OLEDs yet guys like u who never used one or read abt the tech will obviously not know that...

          This is a beast of a phone !

            Anonymous, 02 Nov 2017It's not about the colour black. It's about contrast.Even when you're talking about contrast, LCDs are still very good. Yes, they don't even come close to OLEDs, but they're still pretty damn good.

              Surprised to see the price I was expecting $850 and so sad there arent many games to take full advantages of this beast

                      AnonD-491921, 02 Nov 2017Sony Mobile division is dying,maybe?Sony doesn't own the parent in the US for side mounted fingerprint stuff, they disabled that feature because they didn't want to pay royalties in order to use it in the US, or something like that.

                        Wow, I am truly impressed. Razer has outdone themselves, and this is only their first smartphone. 120Hz screen, SD835, 8GB of RAM, 64GB + microSD (up to 256GB) and a 4,000 mAh battery for $699!? This is definitely one of my favourite smartphones of 2017.

                          Second of all, if you would watch the stream and read some articles, you would see that the price is $699.

                                  Vegetaholic, 02 Nov 2017And what you going to do with this phone? Play candy crush ... moreI guess it is a gaming phone.Many of the android games are locked at 30 or 60 fps.But if they unlock the framerate,Owners of this phone is going to dominate the Multiplayer Shooting games.Android runs smoother on high refresh rate displays.
                                  Custom chipsets would have limited number of games.They are not as big as Apple,Huawei or samsung.
