Like the look of it. I've been tempted by the S8 lately, but this Razer phone feels like a better fit for me personally. Quite like the industrial design - looks pretty robust. Reminds me of HTC m7, which I loved. The things I'd miss, though, are wireless charging and waterproofing.
Will wait for full reviews though.

Another one that has had my interest. What with this and the U11+ at least I feel like some manufacturers are trying not to rip us all off!

Interesting the "limited edition" is the same price. Then again, the only difference is the green logo

Yep i thought here we go charge another £50 for a green logo then i realised it's not an iphone 
Bah, after thinking between iphone 8, pixel 2 and then almost pulling the trigger on S8 due to price now I am thinking of getting this phone instead, although not a big fan of large phones I do prefer 120hz + decent speakers for a phone on that large screen. Seems like a really good phone but I am not sure on razer quality as their peripherals do fall apart and have QC issues in my experience. Also hate their logo, it would be just embarrassing to take it out in the public!
!Based on the build quality of the last mouse I bought off them, which was so crappy I sent it back, I don't think I'd contemplate spending that kind of money buying the first ever phone the company has released.
It would take someone seriously brave to take that plunge given we have no idea what their support and update frequency will be like.
Personally I think I'd either go for a oneplus5t or a galaxy s8 myself over this given the price tag. Both seem like a safer bet to me.

Apparently Razer left the Nextbit team the freedom to design the phone however they want, and with full control, so judging from the Robin it should be decent. And it doesn't need the changes for the cloud app archiving either, so it hopefully should be quicker to update.
seems a decent phone for the price range it is in.

The entire package looks superb tbh. I had an S8 down as a possible replacement for my 6P but now I'd rather have this.
I love the square chassis and the fact that it stands out vs every other phone nowadays in this regard. The dual FFS's look totally fine and I can't wait to hear them in action. I just hope Razer can deliver on the build quality end of things at the end of the day. Not too fussed about the camera just yet because I'm hoping the Google camera.apk can be used on the device to make things a tad better. The only real downer from my PoV is the loss of the headphone jack.

I've just been into the three shop to have a look. That screen is great! Super smooth and responsive.
Very little bloat too.
In fact overall it's a great package. The camera seems decent too to be honest from the samples they had taken in the shop.

I think for the price it's a brilliant package. I'm waiting to see if early batches have any issues before going back to android from an iphone.

The razor phone confuses me. its got a 120hz screen, its for hardcore gamers!
up until now hardcore games scoffed at phones and tablets because they have no physical controls.
so it's for hardcore gamers then! just , you know, without any buttons. But you can connected a bluetooth controller to it!
I guess you have to be proper hardcore if you're going to sit there and do that with a phone lol.
but regardless of that, it's a great screen. Only had a quick look at one though. want a proper play.

Sony?
Why do you need 120hz display? I'd rather have have an OLED display, doesn't have to be the newest.
Don't see the point, surely it would just create more heat and kill your battery life if the framerate was that high..... I don't get it.
