Renowned gaming company Razer, has a smartphone on the way and here’s what you need to know about its release date and watching the live stream.

As if the smartphone market was busy and competitive enough, Razer seems to be about to branch out from its core business of laptops and gaming peripherals.

Razer smartphone release date and live stream
The official website’s homepage shows a large banner with the phrase ‘Watch. Listen. Play’ and a man seemingly using a smartphone. All the clues are there.

The date of the launch is 1 November so everything will be revealed soon. It starts at 1pm PSTwhich will be 8pm in the UK. If you want to watch the live stream we’ll do our best to embed it at the top of this page.

It’s been known for a while that Razer would launch a smartphone after it bought Nextbit in January 2017.

There’s also this quote from CEO, Min-Liang Tan, speaking to CNBC: "One of the most hotly rumored things about Razer is that we're coming up with a mobile device. And I can say that we are coming up with a mobile device specifically geared toward gamers and entertainment."

A couple of days after we found the GFXbench listing, the Razer Phone is now spotted in a leaked image. On the rear of the device, we can spot the dual camera sensors along with a LED flash. The rear camera bumps out of the body which looks to be a metal surface. Just like the Nextbit Robin, the Razer Phone also looks to come in a rectangular slab design without any curved or rounded edges. While the Nextbit Robin came with a rounded volume rocker and power buttons, the Razer Phones also features similar buttons on the left edge.

There is a huge Razer logo in green color on the rear and we expect the company to make it backlit. Based on the GFXbench listing, the Razer Phone might feature dual 12MP sensors on the rear. However, there is no confirmation whether the company will be opting for the RGB + monochrome or the wide-angle + telephoto camera setup. Stay tuned on PhoneRadar for more details, as we expect more leaks to follow soon.

Yeah that seems to be the general consensus on Reddit too, I'm quite interested in it tbh, rumours of SD835, 8GB and a 2k 5.7" screen...
 
TBH no interest whatsoever.

No track record in phones, sketchy track record with support for their laptop products, brand is style over substance, off the shelf specs, they aren't an OEM - why would I buy one?
 
I cant see the point, mobile gaming sucks (imo) and it's not like they can make it better than competition as it uses the same Snapdragon. Being razer it'll also be extremely expensive.
 
Their last Android device was the Forge TV, and they didn't really push it hard enough so it died pretty early. The poor software support it had doesn't give me much confidence in this phone.

They bought nextbit so there is some track record.

Not interested though!
 
Don't forget Razer bought Nextbit. So expect the Razer phone to look like a Nextbit Robin.
 
The Nexbit Robin is a bit of a meh phone so I'm not holding out any hopes on this being anything special.
 
How so? (Genuine question)

I like the idea of a 120Hz screen, that is the future IMO, and the big battery is nice.

Need to wait for reviews though.
 
120Hz is cool but don't see the point for it?

I guess I just don't game enough on my phone.

battery sure if beefy though :)
