Linus did you see the razer phone Linus
where's your unboxing of the razer phone Linus why haven't you reviewed the razer
phone yet well because i didn't get one
but that changes today razer just sent over
a care package this is it
the 64 gig and only version of
their new flagship first ever mobile device the
razer phone
oh that's how the box opens okay so there's a big long letter about
how much you love razer okay that's good
then razer's characteristically excellent
packaging we've got
a razer sim removal tool wow that's actually a really cool sim removal tool
all right cool and got my attention so far we've got
well it's there so there's a type c to three and a half millimeter adapter
a type c to type c charging cable a wall wart
and the razer phone itself
so i watched the keynote i have a pretty
good idea of what to expect from this device but what i actually didn't do is
watch anybody else's unboxings or reviews of
it because i really wanted to save my impressions for myself
and first impressions this is a really
really big phone like i might not have grabbed the right devices for
kind of hands-on size comparison here i've got
an iphone 10 and you can see it absolutely dwarfs
that this is definitely a phablet size device i've got a galaxy s8
all right there it is next to a pixel 2
xl so those are much more similar in terms of their size it's not actually a
lot bigger in terms of its total width or its total
height compared to the pixel 2 xl but there is something about blockier phones
that makes them feel bigger in the hand with that said something that
i think razer has found a good balance of here is that
it's still because of it because it's got nice flat
edges you can still kind of support it like this and using it one-handed is not
going to be the end of the world in a pinch especially if you're someone who has larger hands than i do
okay this is just not working so let's try 2.4 gigahertz
maybe i'm just entering the password wrong twice in a row i'm just gonna
pop the sim out of my 5t
since i'm actually done writing up my review on that one and i'm ready to
start using the razer phone as a daily driver and we'll see if maybe throwing a
sim in it it's gonna give us enough of a data connection to get through the setup
process here yeah sure well i guess i'll just do this 250 mag
update on my mobile data um
hopefully it fixes the wi-fi issues
maybe that's what it's for you know what it's okay
everybody needs an update now and then we have successfully updated razer phone
let's start over hey look at that all right we have a
wi-fi connection no problem i'll be right back once i've signed in
wow the display has kind of a blotchiness to
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
backgrounds that it's not quite a pure white can you see that
has kind of like a grid kind of pattern to it interesting you know so far it
actually reminds me a lot of like one of sony's older xperia phones it's got the
fingerprint sensor on the right it's got the kind of squarish
blocky shape unlike sony though it's
using a basically stock Android with
just a couple of modifications
oh it looks like that 120 hertz display is enabled right out of the box wow that
feels smooth i'm still seeing that slight pattern but
honestly it's the kind of thing you could probably get used to in exchange
for that sort of buttery feeling to the
interface i'm liking that oh i could get used to
that okay so first thing i want to do here is get the developer options enabled so
that i can turn on the yeah there we go okay
interesting so we've got a live frame rate counter
that's telling us exactly what refresh
rate the display is running at here so you can see
that when the image is static it's actually turning way down
to as low as 20 frames per second
then when you move around actually you could see it hitched there while it
kicked in it's jumping up to 90 frames per second
really cool okay i'm gonna just fire up the google play store and
get a game that i know supports 120 hertz we interrupt this video to bring you the
real reason that i couldn't connect to the wi-fi alex here walked in
complaining that he couldn't get a device on the wi-fi
and i realized we're out of ip addresses
wasn't razer's fault that's probably also why all the smart
light control modules aren't connecting probably yeah so i'm calling tech
support on my razer phone
which sounds okay i guess
this voicemail box is full please try again later thank you for calling
goodbye worst it guy of all time
look at all this crap look at all these devices why are there
so many devices what is bad address
nobody names anything you know what let's just kick it off
we found the button so i'm just gonna open it right up
to all the way down to
let's say 30. and hopefully
we don't step on anything
okay try and connect
well give it a second okay yes problem solved
okay and back to you Linus
okay so we are back to our unboxing of the razer
phone let's go ahead and fire up simpson's tapped out a game that
supposedly supports 120 FPS on this 120hz display
and of course there's an update
not as many as this phone's getting
okay age to continue i don't like it but i'm 31.
oh shut up go away
tap to play anonymously to start playing while the game something's in the
background you know what that uh pattern that i
noticed before really only noticeable on
plain
can have more white flowers than your pretend friends
wow those speakers get really loud
i gotta say i was impressed by the speakers on the pixel 2 and the
pixel 2 xl but these absolutely
blow them away okay i'm not sure that this is the kind
of game that benefits like the most
from high frame rate but
that's cool i mean the zooming
when it's not hiccuping here is really
smooth
okay next order of business we could try another game um the ones that are
included world of tan they don't have a lot of
color in that game titanfall ass
hey okay between now and the full review i'm gonna have to spend some time in
that one like i'm i'm picturing giant robots like like twerking you know like
no no brandon no oh wow all the all the no
over there okay that's fine i'll i'll spend more time on the gaming aspects of
the phone before the full reviews the last thing i just want to have a quick
look at is the camera
now this is something that razer has already even acknowledged that
they're going to have to improve a little bit um you know other than like
a quick test shot of something i'm not going to be able to do much with it now
but
i mean other than some you know aliasing around his head or whatever i'm not
seeing anything that immediately
makes it stand out as being like terrible
here's a pixel 2 xl
so yeah there's clearly some finer detail in this guy already but
you know really it's going to come down to how usable it is in the day-to-day so
there you have it unboxing of the razer phone
