Prometheous, 09 Nov 2017Yes. It also provides you a nice jelly effect to drool upon... moreWhat jelly effect? I had it since launch, and never experienced the jelly effect. Maybe it's an American feature? I haven't been seen in Europe.

              Anonymous, 08 Nov 2017In before the bezel haters. They are worst than the removal... moreYeah, being able to pocket a phablet is such a hindrance. Better have those chunky bezels that render half of my apparel void (no space to staff the phone).

              Or what about infinite autonomy and zero charge time? Better having those sealed batteries that die on you and dat delicious half-a-day autonomy is from out of this world, I always enjoy having to charge my phone in the middle of a particularly phone-heavy day. It's *exactly* what I need in those days that I need my phone the most.

              ...there is no such thing as removable/bezeless fanboys. Both are *objectively* better than the alternative. A bit of how 6GB of ram is better than 2GB of ram *objectovely* so.

              You can only be a fanboy of marginal tastes that few care about. Like big bezels or sealed batteries. As far as I can tell you are the fanboy implying that wanting a better phone is fanboyism...

                AnonD-710640, 08 Nov 2017I am not a gamer but are games compatible with the 120 hz? They have a list of game partners that will work at 120hz:

                "Final Fantasy® XV Pocket Edition" from Square Enix
                "Gear.Club" from Eden Games
                "Lineage 2: Revolution" from Netmarble Games Corporation
                "Old School RuneScape™" from Jagex Limited
                "RuneScape™" from Jagex Limited
                "Shadowgun Legends™" from Madfinger Games
                "Tekken™" from BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Europe
                "Titanfall™: Assault" from NEXON Co., Ltd. and Particle City, Inc.
                "World of Tanks Blitz" from Wargaming Group Limited

                  "Razer surprised many with the bold decision of making a dedicated gaming smartphone - a niche that hasn’t been covered"
                  ================

                  Didn't Sony cover this before via the Sony Experia Play even if it wasn't that successful?
                  (this was my very first Android phone)

                  Or am I reading that statement wrong?

                    AnonD-710640, 08 Nov 2017I am not a gamer but are games compatible with the 120 hz? I'm not aware of any stand alone gaming apps that utilizes 120Hz but console emulators do.
                    i.e. PSP, PS, SNES, Sega, GameGear, XBOX, Wii, NDS, etc.

                        Tee, 08 Nov 2017I wish they put a 5,000+ mAh battery of the Razer. It's alr... moreI agree

                          I think the current flagships actually works pretty well in the game segment but, this one has some air of not-seen-that-kind-of-combination-yet i really like

                                Anonymous, 08 Nov 2017Frankly I'm waiting for sennheiser phone :)I love the idea of specialist hardware companies making their niche phones.

                                I'm looking forward to seeing he Red phone.
                                I'd love a Canon camera phone.

                                And yeah, I'd buy the hell out of a Sennheiser phone. Yellow and black and bundled with full ear covering headphones.

                                  Oneplus does the same job, with the same battery life time and a lot cheaper price. Even with bt 5. Water resistance and better camera. Faster lte and ufs 2.1.
