What we don't like about Razer Phone 2 (8GB + 64GB)

  • Underwhelming camera performance, especially in low-light conditions, compared to other flagship smartphones
  • Short battery life when using the high 120Hz refresh rate and maximum screen brightness
  • Bulky, 'brick-like' industrial design with sharp edges that can be uncomfortable to hold for long periods
  • Known hardware reliability issues reported by long-term users, specifically malfunctioning USB-C charging ports
  • Lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack, requiring a dongle for wired audio
  • Awkward placement of internal wireless charging coils, making it difficult to align with many third-party charging pads

Verdict

The Razer Phone 2 (8GB RAM + 64GB storage variant) is a gaming-focused smartphone featuring a 5.7-inch QHD (1440p) IGZO LCD display with a best-in-class 120Hz refresh rate for incredibly smooth visuals, powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor and Adreno 630 GPU, augmented by a vapor chamber cooling system to sustain performance during extended gameplay. Key pros include exceptional dual front-firing speakers with Dolby Atmos support, a customizable RGB Chroma logo on the glass back, IP67 water resistance, wireless charging support for its 4,000mAh battery (which also supports Quick Charge 4.0+), and expandable storage via a microSD card slot. Cons primarily involve a thick, blocky design with large bezels that feels dated, a subpar camera system that produces muddy and noisy images in low light, and battery life that is heavily impacted by using the 120Hz display and often falls short compared to other flagships of its time.
