00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:05.920
Linus did you see the razer phone Linus

00:00:03.760 --> 00:00:12.240
where's your unboxing of the razer phone Linus why haven't you reviewed the razer

00:00:08.480 --> 00:00:13.360
phone yet well because i didn't get one

00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:18.400
but that changes today razer just sent over

00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:24.720
a care package this is it

00:00:20.240 --> 00:00:27.119
the 64 gig and only version of

00:00:24.720 --> 00:00:31.920
their new flagship first ever mobile device the

00:00:30.720 --> 00:00:34.239
razer phone

00:00:34.480 --> 00:00:41.200
oh that's how the box opens okay so there's a big long letter about

00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:44.800
how much you love razer okay that's good

00:00:43.040 --> 00:00:48.800
then razer's characteristically excellent

00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:52.719
packaging we've got

00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:56.480
a razer sim removal tool wow that's actually a really cool sim removal tool

00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:59.840
all right cool and got my attention so far we've got

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

00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:13.840
a type c to type c charging cable a wall wart

00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:23.759
and the razer phone itself

00:01:20.720 --> 00:01:26.080
so i watched the keynote i have a pretty

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

00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:36.400
watch anybody else's unboxings or reviews of

00:01:33.600 --> 00:01:45.280
it because i really wanted to save my impressions for myself

00:01:40.960 --> 00:01:47.360
and first impressions this is a really

00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:52.240
really big phone like i might not have grabbed the right devices for

00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:55.680
kind of hands-on size comparison here i've got

00:01:53.360 --> 00:02:00.159
an iphone 10 and you can see it absolutely dwarfs

00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:06.719
that this is definitely a phablet size device i've got a galaxy s8

00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:09.679
all right there it is next to a pixel 2

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

00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:20.560
lot bigger in terms of its total width or its total

00:02:18.239 --> 00:02:26.239
height compared to the pixel 2 xl but there is something about blockier phones

00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:30.879
that makes them feel bigger in the hand with that said something that

00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:35.120
i think razer has found a good balance of here is that

00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:38.879
it's still because of it because it's got nice flat

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

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

00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:52.720
okay this is just not working so let's try 2.4 gigahertz

00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:59.040
maybe i'm just entering the password wrong twice in a row i'm just gonna

00:02:56.000 --> 00:03:01.120
pop the sim out of my 5t

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

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

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

00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:20.239
process here yeah sure well i guess i'll just do this 250 mag

00:03:17.920 --> 00:03:24.640
update on my mobile data um

00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:26.560
hopefully it fixes the wi-fi issues

00:03:24.640 --> 00:03:29.920
maybe that's what it's for you know what it's okay

00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:36.159
everybody needs an update now and then we have successfully updated razer phone

00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:40.879
let's start over hey look at that all right we have a

00:03:38.959 --> 00:03:44.400
wi-fi connection no problem i'll be right back once i've signed in

00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:48.159
wow the display has kind of a blotchiness to

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

00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:59.040
backgrounds that it's not quite a pure white can you see that

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

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

00:04:06.959 --> 00:04:14.000
fingerprint sensor on the right it's got the kind of squarish

00:04:10.959 --> 00:04:17.519
blocky shape unlike sony though it's

00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:19.759
using a basically stock Android with

00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:24.000
just a couple of modifications

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

00:04:27.520 --> 00:04:32.479
feels smooth i'm still seeing that slight pattern but

00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:36.240
honestly it's the kind of thing you could probably get used to in exchange

00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:40.080
for that sort of buttery feeling to the

00:04:38.320 --> 00:04:43.199
interface i'm liking that oh i could get used to

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

00:04:46.479 --> 00:04:51.360
that i can turn on the yeah there we go okay

00:04:49.520 --> 00:04:58.720
interesting so we've got a live frame rate counter

00:04:55.120 --> 00:05:01.440
that's telling us exactly what refresh

00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:05.360
rate the display is running at here so you can see

00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:09.120
that when the image is static it's actually turning way down

00:05:08.400 --> 00:05:14.320
to as low as 20 frames per second

00:05:12.080 --> 00:05:18.479
then when you move around actually you could see it hitched there while it

00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:21.520
kicked in it's jumping up to 90 frames per second

00:05:19.840 --> 00:05:25.440
really cool okay i'm gonna just fire up the google play store and

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

00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:33.280
real reason that i couldn't connect to the wi-fi alex here walked in

00:05:32.080 --> 00:05:39.440
complaining that he couldn't get a device on the wi-fi

00:05:35.440 --> 00:05:42.080
and i realized we're out of ip addresses

00:05:39.440 --> 00:05:46.479
wasn't razer's fault that's probably also why all the smart

00:05:44.320 --> 00:05:53.840
light control modules aren't connecting probably yeah so i'm calling tech

00:05:50.840 --> 00:05:57.039
support on my razer phone

00:05:53.840 --> 00:05:57.039
which sounds okay i guess

00:05:57.120 --> 00:06:04.000
this voicemail box is full please try again later thank you for calling

00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:07.840
goodbye worst it guy of all time

00:06:08.080 --> 00:06:14.400
look at all this crap look at all these devices why are there

00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:18.800
so many devices what is bad address

00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:24.880
nobody names anything you know what let's just kick it off

00:06:21.919 --> 00:06:29.919
we found the button so i'm just gonna open it right up

00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:35.440
to all the way down to

00:06:32.080 --> 00:06:38.720
let's say 30. and hopefully

00:06:35.440 --> 00:06:41.919
we don't step on anything

00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:41.919
okay try and connect

00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:52.319
well give it a second okay yes problem solved

00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:57.199
okay and back to you Linus

00:06:55.199 --> 00:07:02.080
okay so we are back to our unboxing of the razer

00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:06.360
phone let's go ahead and fire up simpson's tapped out a game that

00:07:03.840 --> 00:07:13.520
supposedly supports 120 FPS on this 120hz display

00:07:10.400 --> 00:07:17.280
and of course there's an update

00:07:13.520 --> 00:07:19.599
not as many as this phone's getting

00:07:17.280 --> 00:07:24.560
okay age to continue i don't like it but i'm 31.

00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:28.880
oh shut up go away

00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:32.639
tap to play anonymously to start playing while the game something's in the

00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:36.479
background you know what that uh pattern that i

00:07:34.479 --> 00:07:41.919
noticed before really only noticeable on

00:07:39.280 --> 00:07:41.919
plain

00:07:43.039 --> 00:07:47.520
can have more white flowers than your pretend friends

00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:56.560
wow those speakers get really loud

00:07:53.759 --> 00:08:03.280
i gotta say i was impressed by the speakers on the pixel 2 and the

00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:05.360
pixel 2 xl but these absolutely

00:08:03.280 --> 00:08:08.639
blow them away okay i'm not sure that this is the kind

00:08:06.879 --> 00:08:13.680
of game that benefits like the most

00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:18.960
from high frame rate but

00:08:15.520 --> 00:08:22.000
that's cool i mean the zooming

00:08:18.960 --> 00:08:25.000
when it's not hiccuping here is really

00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:25.000
smooth

00:08:26.400 --> 00:08:31.599
okay next order of business we could try another game um the ones that are

00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:36.800
included world of tan they don't have a lot of

00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:39.440
color in that game titanfall ass

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

00:08:40.640 --> 00:08:47.360
that one like i'm i'm picturing giant robots like like twerking you know like

00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:52.240
no no brandon no oh wow all the all the no

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

00:08:53.920 --> 00:08:58.000
the phone before the full reviews the last thing i just want to have a quick

00:08:56.959 --> 00:09:02.720
look at is the camera

00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:06.320
now this is something that razer has already even acknowledged that

00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:12.000
they're going to have to improve a little bit um you know other than like

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

00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:15.760
but

00:09:17.279 --> 00:09:23.519
i mean other than some you know aliasing around his head or whatever i'm not

00:09:21.839 --> 00:09:27.279
seeing anything that immediately

00:09:25.440 --> 00:09:32.240
makes it stand out as being like terrible

00:09:28.800 --> 00:09:32.240
here's a pixel 2 xl

00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:39.279
so yeah there's clearly some finer detail in this guy already but

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

00:09:42.880 --> 00:09:48.080
there you have it unboxing of the razer phone

00:09:46.560 --> 00:09:52.240
