Razer phone

[ImNotThere]

i love the look of the razer phone, not sure why, just really like it

anyone know why in the UK three is the only carrier offering contracts? three is awful for my area, not much signal at all, so does anyone know when EE and others will offer

also will moving from an s7 edge be a strict down, up or sidegrade?

Can't you buy an unlocked one and then go to a carrier of your choice?

Are prices known yet?

 

I'm a bit irritated by the "4000mah battery, one of the largest in phones today" since I still consider this a bit too small for a "gaming smartphone".

 

I own a Snapdragon 820 specced smartphone with a 2K IPS panel and a 3200mah battery. In 3D games, the battery won't last for longer than 3-4 hours of continuous play, depending on what you play. I never made a "start to finish" play test to see how long the battery actually last, but based on percentage drained by 15-20 minutes of gameplay, about 3 hours is my estimate.

Also, 4000mah isn't even remotely "one of the largest", since Umidigi is offering a 5100mah battery smartphone.

One of the largest in mainstream phones is what they meant
