1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,920
Linus did you see the razer phone Linus

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:12,240
where's your unboxing of the razer phone Linus why haven't you reviewed the razer

3
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:13,360
phone yet well because i didn't get one

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:18,400
but that changes today razer just sent over

5
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:24,720
a care package this is it

6
00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:27,119
the 64 gig and only version of

7
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:31,920
their new flagship first ever mobile device the

8
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,239
razer phone

9
00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:41,200
oh that's how the box opens okay so there's a big long letter about

10
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:44,800
how much you love razer okay that's good

11
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:48,800
then razer's characteristically excellent

12
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:52,719
packaging we've got

13
00:00:50,719 --> 00:00:56,480
a razer sim removal tool wow that's actually a really cool sim removal tool

14
00:00:54,399 --> 00:00:59,840
all right cool and got my attention so far we've got

15
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:10,720
well it's there so there's a type c to three and a half millimeter adapter

16
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:13,840
a type c to type c charging cable a wall wart

17
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:23,759
and the razer phone itself

18
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:26,080
so i watched the keynote i have a pretty

19
00:01:23,759 --> 00:01:30,040
good idea of what to expect from this device but what i actually didn't do is

20
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:36,400
watch anybody else's unboxings or reviews of

21
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:45,280
it because i really wanted to save my impressions for myself

22
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:47,360
and first impressions this is a really

23
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:52,240
really big phone like i might not have grabbed the right devices for

24
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:55,680
kind of hands-on size comparison here i've got

25
00:01:53,360 --> 00:02:00,159
an iphone 10 and you can see it absolutely dwarfs

26
00:01:58,159 --> 00:02:06,719
that this is definitely a phablet size device i've got a galaxy s8

27
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:09,679
all right there it is next to a pixel 2

28
00:02:06,719 --> 00:02:15,440
xl so those are much more similar in terms of their size it's not actually a

29
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:20,560
lot bigger in terms of its total width or its total

30
00:02:18,239 --> 00:02:26,239
height compared to the pixel 2 xl but there is something about blockier phones

31
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:30,879
that makes them feel bigger in the hand with that said something that

32
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:35,120
i think razer has found a good balance of here is that

33
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:38,879
it's still because of it because it's got nice flat

34
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:42,560
edges you can still kind of support it like this and using it one-handed is not

35
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:49,280
going to be the end of the world in a pinch especially if you're someone who has larger hands than i do

36
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:52,720
okay this is just not working so let's try 2.4 gigahertz

37
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:59,040
maybe i'm just entering the password wrong twice in a row i'm just gonna

38
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:01,120
pop the sim out of my 5t

39
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:05,519
since i'm actually done writing up my review on that one and i'm ready to

40
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:10,239
start using the razer phone as a daily driver and we'll see if maybe throwing a

41
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:14,959
sim in it it's gonna give us enough of a data connection to get through the setup

42
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:20,239
process here yeah sure well i guess i'll just do this 250 mag

43
00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:24,640
update on my mobile data um

44
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:26,560
hopefully it fixes the wi-fi issues

45
00:03:24,640 --> 00:03:29,920
maybe that's what it's for you know what it's okay

46
00:03:28,159 --> 00:03:36,159
everybody needs an update now and then we have successfully updated razer phone

47
00:03:34,159 --> 00:03:40,879
let's start over hey look at that all right we have a

48
00:03:38,959 --> 00:03:44,400
wi-fi connection no problem i'll be right back once i've signed in

49
00:03:42,879 --> 00:03:48,159
wow the display has kind of a blotchiness to

50
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:54,400
it i'm not sure if you're going to be able to pick that up on camera but you can really see on white white

51
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:59,040
backgrounds that it's not quite a pure white can you see that

52
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:04,080
has kind of like a grid kind of pattern to it interesting you know so far it

53
00:04:01,439 --> 00:04:09,040
actually reminds me a lot of like one of sony's older xperia phones it's got the

54
00:04:06,959 --> 00:04:14,000
fingerprint sensor on the right it's got the kind of squarish

55
00:04:10,959 --> 00:04:17,519
blocky shape unlike sony though it's

56
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:19,759
using a basically stock Android with

57
00:04:17,519 --> 00:04:24,000
just a couple of modifications

58
00:04:21,519 --> 00:04:28,800
oh it looks like that 120 hertz display is enabled right out of the box wow that

59
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:32,479
feels smooth i'm still seeing that slight pattern but

60
00:04:31,199 --> 00:04:36,240
honestly it's the kind of thing you could probably get used to in exchange

61
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:40,080
for that sort of buttery feeling to the

62
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:43,199
interface i'm liking that oh i could get used to

63
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:48,720
that okay so first thing i want to do here is get the developer options enabled so

64
00:04:46,479 --> 00:04:51,360
that i can turn on the yeah there we go okay

65
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:58,720
interesting so we've got a live frame rate counter

66
00:04:55,120 --> 00:05:01,440
that's telling us exactly what refresh

67
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:05,360
rate the display is running at here so you can see

68
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:09,120
that when the image is static it's actually turning way down

69
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:14,320
to as low as 20 frames per second

70
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:18,479
then when you move around actually you could see it hitched there while it

71
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:21,520
kicked in it's jumping up to 90 frames per second

72
00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:25,440
really cool okay i'm gonna just fire up the google play store and

73
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:30,160
get a game that i know supports 120 hertz we interrupt this video to bring you the

74
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:33,280
real reason that i couldn't connect to the wi-fi alex here walked in

75
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:39,440
complaining that he couldn't get a device on the wi-fi

76
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:42,080
and i realized we're out of ip addresses

77
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:46,479
wasn't razer's fault that's probably also why all the smart

78
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:53,840
light control modules aren't connecting probably yeah so i'm calling tech

79
00:05:50,840 --> 00:05:57,039
support on my razer phone

80
00:05:53,840 --> 00:05:57,039
which sounds okay i guess

81
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:04,000
this voicemail box is full please try again later thank you for calling

82
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:07,840
goodbye worst it guy of all time

83
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:14,400
look at all this crap look at all these devices why are there

84
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:18,800
so many devices what is bad address

85
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:24,880
nobody names anything you know what let's just kick it off

86
00:06:21,919 --> 00:06:29,919
we found the button so i'm just gonna open it right up

87
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:35,440
to all the way down to

88
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:38,720
let's say 30. and hopefully

89
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:41,919
we don't step on anything

90
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,919
okay try and connect

91
00:06:46,319 --> 00:06:52,319
well give it a second okay yes problem solved

92
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:57,199
okay and back to you Linus

93
00:06:55,199 --> 00:07:02,080
okay so we are back to our unboxing of the razer

94
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:06,360
phone let's go ahead and fire up simpson's tapped out a game that

95
00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:13,520
supposedly supports 120 FPS on this 120hz display

96
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:17,280
and of course there's an update

97
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:19,599
not as many as this phone's getting

98
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:24,560
okay age to continue i don't like it but i'm 31.

99
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:28,880
oh shut up go away

100
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:32,639
tap to play anonymously to start playing while the game something's in the

101
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:36,479
background you know what that uh pattern that i

102
00:07:34,479 --> 00:07:41,919
noticed before really only noticeable on

103
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,919
plain

104
00:07:43,039 --> 00:07:47,520
can have more white flowers than your pretend friends

105
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:56,560
wow those speakers get really loud

106
00:07:53,759 --> 00:08:03,280
i gotta say i was impressed by the speakers on the pixel 2 and the

107
00:07:58,639 --> 00:08:05,360
pixel 2 xl but these absolutely

108
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:08,639
blow them away okay i'm not sure that this is the kind

109
00:08:06,879 --> 00:08:13,680
of game that benefits like the most

110
00:08:11,199 --> 00:08:18,960
from high frame rate but

111
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:22,000
that's cool i mean the zooming

112
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:25,000
when it's not hiccuping here is really

113
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,000
smooth

114
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:31,599
okay next order of business we could try another game um the ones that are

115
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:36,800
included world of tan they don't have a lot of

116
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:39,440
color in that game titanfall ass

117
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:42,640
hey okay between now and the full review i'm gonna have to spend some time in

118
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:47,360
that one like i'm i'm picturing giant robots like like twerking you know like

119
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:52,240
no no brandon no oh wow all the all the no

120
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:55,360
over there okay that's fine i'll i'll spend more time on the gaming aspects of

121
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:58,000
the phone before the full reviews the last thing i just want to have a quick

122
00:08:56,959 --> 00:09:02,720
look at is the camera

123
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:06,320
now this is something that razer has already even acknowledged that

124
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:12,000
they're going to have to improve a little bit um you know other than like

125
00:09:09,839 --> 00:09:15,760
a quick test shot of something i'm not going to be able to do much with it now

126
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,760
but

127
00:09:17,279 --> 00:09:23,519
i mean other than some you know aliasing around his head or whatever i'm not

128
00:09:21,839 --> 00:09:27,279
seeing anything that immediately

129
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:32,240
makes it stand out as being like terrible

130
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:32,240
here's a pixel 2 xl

131
00:09:32,399 --> 00:09:39,279
so yeah there's clearly some finer detail in this guy already but

132
00:09:37,839 --> 00:09:44,480
you know really it's going to come down to how usable it is in the day-to-day so

133
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:48,080
there you have it unboxing of the razer phone

134
00:09:46,560 --> 00:09:52,240
