I've had mine since 2019, and it's been a pretty alright phone for my basic uses. But since Razer dropped support for it, I'm stuck on Android 9 which is now locking me out of apps I used to be able to download. Battery is also becoming iffy, with the phone sometimes dying anywhere from 5% to 20%. Sometimes, I cannot make or receive phone calls unless I fully restart the phone which takes 1-2 minutes. This is at best a minor annoyance, and (could be) at worst a really big hinderance in an actual emergency. I cannot use camera flash, and the camera app freezes sometimes when zooming. Other than these problems, everything else works good enough, but if I plan to be using the phone for extended periods of time (Day outings or longer) I have to bring an external battery pack.
This was my second phone ever, upgrading from an iPhone 4S. It was a stellar phone, but to see it slowly start to die after not that long is kind of sad. I'm thinking of jumping ship and dropping a small fortune on something newer instead. It's been fun, Razer.

Damjan Minic, 30 May 2023Hello. Please tell me if there is a headset for this phone?... moreI've never had an issue with any of the 5 Bluetooth headphones (beats studio2, beats studio3, sennheiser momentum 2, sennheiser momentum 3, sony WH-1000xm4) ive used with either of the 2 razer2 handsets I've owned, the port has broken on both of them tho, so maybe just try some different Bluetooth headphones or use the usb-c to 3.5mm converter that comes with the phone

Hello. Please tell me if there is a headset for this phone? I tried bluethoot headphones but the sound lags in games. I bought headphones with a c input because they dont have a headphone jack and they wont work.

Bought for £100. Have disabled much of the Google & bloat, added the ForceStopApps. Works well. V.cold to touch on a winter's day. Can't find a way to disable the Nova Launcher, but it's not that intrusive. Just a very fast wifi tablet for me. Goes well with the 3 Oppo phablets & Wiley Fox I got for similar prices over the last years.

Wolfizen, 26 Dec 2022the best review, thank you ButtRammer69Best review? Sounds like he doesn't have a life to me, or he's a male gossiper. Hell he's to busy not minding his own and watching videos that ain't no way he had any time to examine the phone and make any type of educated review. Instead of learning something useful or helping the next person with a honest product review he would rather fit in and send himself to hell like the rest of them. I wish him the best.q

Razor did originally priced the razor too high is big reason it not sell well
It did go on sell at one point new and cheap but in 2023 u missed your choice to get one If u don't already have a razor phone
I think razor made a mistake by putting a 1440p screen on a smartphone as this screen res is too high for the chipset too handle
1080p screen is a better choice for high refresh rate gaming and would of aged better
Anyway
With hindsight
In defence of razor
I actually agree with razor choice too not update the razor phone too android 10
as os system requirements higher
I agree it is not a good idea
It would make the smartphone less smooth and having too drive 1440 high resolution screen does put more stress on the chipset as well

Charging port quality and repairability/support issues aside this is the best phone I've owned and it was cheap. I wish I could replace the battery and charging port and not have to replace the phone.

Why did razer stop making gaming phones
is it not profitable for them ? there is a market for gaming phones
it's like ever other brand Nubia Lenovo Asu etc was like wow powerful high spec smartphone for gaming such a good ideal but razer is a shamed of it
i am confused as too why razer see it this way
A Razer phone 3 would sell well i think but razer not proud of there phones

Had this phoneat least 3 years. This is the last year I will have it, I am only holding onto it now as other choices seem suboptimal for the prices and late fall early winter sees phones at discounts a lot. The USB-C charhing ports on these phones are one of the biggest failures of it. They are weak and cause issues after minimal wear or "abuse". I had to solder + tape to reinforce it, I took apart my phone to do that. Batteries go on all phones, degrading in about 2-3 years time to only a portion of what they were. Razer does not support this phone, so not having battery options or parts replacing sucks. The rear camera sucks, selfie isnt that goodand the apps for it suck. The speakers looks great, the phone cases are cool, especially the backlit logo. I wont consider it durable and the speakers do wear down.
It has bare minimum apps for phone management and less features. Great damn specs for the proce in year 2018-2019, still the tech specs for price hold up, but it just lacks too much now. 5g is a thing to consider in new phone buying, the 4g reception I get on this phone sucks, my older phone gets better service, especially in buildings and never completely cut out, until having to restart for signal.

For the price, this is still a great phone. These Razers can be had for $150-225USD on ebay. That's FAR less than the current 'best' gaming phones, of which only 1 is under $500USD.
-Asus ROG Phone 5S - $780
-Lenovo Legion Phone -$650-700
-Nubia RedMagic 7 - $700
-Xiaomi Black Shark 4 -$480
-OnePlus 10 Pro - $900
-Sony Xperia 5 III - $685
