Razer Phone 2 looks the same as the original, leaked image shows

13 September 2018
The new device will become official before the end of the year.

Sort by:

Glad they're not following trends and rather continuing on their own path. I will always have more respect for such a company. Other companies need to stop following Apple.

Also, same design means same awesome speaker setup and same awesome 16:9 display. ;D

    Kangal, 14 Sep 2018The QSD 835 is already fast enough to play all the demandin... morei agree with you. to add further though, they should make the body out of sturdier aluminum or another metal; mine got a dent from just a foot-high drop.

      It needs a big juicy notch and a thick chin!!

        the main reason why it looks the same as first gen, is that project linda is a laptop dock for razer phone 1 (probably) and 2 and you dock the phone in the laptop and use the phone within this laptop and it has a real keyboard

          if it naively supports external controller, i would consider, at least no lag from third party driver, pain in the butt key remapping and changing keyboards to enable third party controller, after all, they do make their own controllers

            The QSD 835 is already fast enough to play all the demanding games, including emulation from the weakest Atari to the powerful Nintendo Wii*. There's not a big performance and/or battery life difference between it and the QSD 845.

            That means there's little reason to choose the Razer Phone2 over the Razer Phone, and virtually no reason to upgrade.

            What would have made a difference is the body construction:
            - Reduce the bezels without removing the speakers
            - Improve the battery life (screen was sucking too much juice even on 1080p/60Hz mode)
            - Improve the screen (brightness, viewing angles, sunlight refraction were poor)
            - Add IP68 waterproofing
            - Fix those horrible side buttons and fingerprint reader
            - Add 3.5mm headphone aux port
            - AndroidOne support (so it becomes an alternative to the Pixel/Nokia/Mi A2)
            - Improve durability so that its more solid (previous would bend)

            I mean come on, at least reach for the Low Hanging Fruit Razer!

              Looks like a16:9 display

                  Maybe they just want to make sure that the Project Linda docking is backward compatible and fit first gen razer phone and second gen.

                    BiyoBiyo JunJun, 14 Sep 2018its up to them what they want to do ... why other follow ??? Their doings have a lot of influence to people.
                    The root of the problem is that one had the urge to do it, following it is just a bigger problem.

                            The first difference that my eyes see is only the Wallpaper.

                                If they don't want to be blamed for such things, then they shouldn't have done them in the first place

                                  I only see xperia here, where is razer 2 phone!

                                    I don't mind as long as they increase the brightness on the screen.The 1st one was very dim for some reason.

                                      Seriously you need the top and bottom bezels to rest your thumbs on them, you don't want to touch the screen with your thumb while you playing.

                                        AnonD-241270, 14 Sep 2018Go say that to crApple, they already show the same design a... moreyeah ! blame apple for everything ....!!!!
