I'm actually not enthused with the glass back. I was hoping this phone could go safely without a case. No edge-to-edge front glass would've made it relatively safe but now the back panel is a drop hazard.

Cool wallpaper! The facets look better than the wallpaper of the original Razer phone.

Most specs seems good. I guess it did not add one of the most important thing a "gamer" needs, which was also lacking in the Razer Phone:
A 3.5 MM HEADPHONE JACK for connecting your gaming headphones!!!
I also hope they have improved the battery optimisation.
The Razer Phone had an atrocious battery endurance, even from it's 4000 mAh battery.

Still, i get your point. I personally also prefer the Razer Phone. I just want it to sell well so they keep making more in future.

Secondly, for the price of the Razer, pretty much everything is higher quality. The screen, the camera, the front firing speakers, it has water resistance, wireless charging, NFC, better cooling and overall much more fluid UI. When the overall experience is much better, it's clear why people would prefer this over the pocophone

The Asus has a headphone jack, but otherwise loses out on everything else

samuel2289, 11 Oct 2018I really can't wait for Singtel to stock up the Razer Phone... moreIt won't be obsolete because the majority of games don't make full use of the chipset, therefore real life differences will be tiny

Great phone, but should've been priced at $700 for the base model. Currently it is only $100 less than the Rog Phone, which is better overall than this... So this will have face tough competition unlike the first Razer Phone.

POCO F1 comes for around $ 405 for 8 GB RAM + SD 845 + 256 GB storage. Only idiots will buy Razer Phone 2. Back-cover can also be made up of plastic to enable Wireless charging. It's made of glass so that they can profit from replacements.

Better than the Pixel 3-series in practically every single way.
It's sad to see Google being so darn complacent with the Pixel 3 and 3XL...

Improvements are nice, but the glass back is really jarring (even though I understand why they had to do it). I really prefer the original with all metal housing.
Also, where are the accessories???
