Razer Phone 2 review: Strictly for gamers
When the Razer Phone made its debut last year, it was one of the first modern gaming phones to hit the market. While it may not seem like it here in the US, there's a growing appetite for hardcore mobile gaming, especially in Asia, where multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) titles are all the rage. To meet this demand, Xiaomi came out with the Black Shark and the Black Shark Helo in 2018. ASUS followed suit with the ROG Phone, which has so many accessories -- a gamepad, a hand-held dock and even an external fan -- that it borders on ridiculous. Not to be left out, Razer just released its second smartphone, the Razer Phone 2. The Razer Phone 2 looks and feels very similar to the original, with a few tweaks here and there. The company wanted to focus on bringing its phone closer to big-name flagships. By making it sleeker and more robust, Razer hopes to draw gamers away from their Pixels and Galaxies. Like the original, there's no question that the Razer Phone 2 excels as a gaming phone. The problem is, that it's still not quite the flagship rival it wants to be.
