- I finally got my hands on a Razr phone.
Now there was a shortage of them,
wrong addresses were involved.
Regardless, though, it's finally here,
and so I figured I should do one
of my complete walkthroughs.
Now if you aren't familiar, my complete walkthroughs
are basically a video that I do
when a new piece of tech comes out.
And I show you every little thing that that phone,
laptop, device can do just in case
you were thinking about buying one.
You now know everything you can about it
to go make that decision easier.
So first up, let's talk about the hardware,
which, of course, the specs list
on this device is pretty insane.
Now the phone might not have the same slim bezels
that we're used to seeing on most flagship devices nowadays.
But that is in part to these giant front-facing speakers
that we'll get to in a bit.
Now it's made out of aluminum and is the same matte black
that Razr is sort of known for their
gaming laptops and other gaming gear.
It feels and looks pretty solid, frankly.
Now, it has a very unapologetically square design,
along with the famous, whether you like it or not,
three-headed snake logo.
The logo is inset and is silver instead of Razr's
normal green that is on a lot of their laptops.
Now, although there is a green logo limited edition one,
but that's no longer on the site,
and there's a new gold one on the site
at the time of doing this video.
Now on the right side, we have our SIM card
and micro SD card slot and our power button
that is also a fingerprint scanner.
On the left, we have our two volume buttons centered.
Razr says that they are centered to make
for a more logical setup when using the phone
in landscape mode, which they expect you to do a lot
since they're a gaming company, and the device is geared
towards entertainment, gaming,
but more on that in a second.
At the bottom, we have the USB-C port
without a headphone jack, but it does come
with a USB-C to 3.5 millimeter adapter
that also is built-in DAC, certified by THX
that enhances audio quality when plugged in.
At the top, we have nothing.
The front is comprised of a 5.7 inch 2560 by 1440
IPS display that can do 120 Hertz and wide color gamut
and is the same IGZO panel as their laptops.
The device switches dynamically from 120 frames per second
down to the more standard 60 frames and even further down,
depending on the content on the screen.
Now this makes for super smooth transitions in the UI,
super smooth scrolling on web pages and Twitter, et cetera,
and fluid gameplay or video watching.
Now speaking of video watching, there are not only
Dolby Atmos stereo speakers that support Dolby 5.1
surround sound flanking the screen on either side
but also THX-certified amps inside as well.
And this means that the Razr phone has
some serious audio output.
In fact, it is the loudest phone (chuckles) I've ever heard.
- [Robber] Take every last one of these shit bag's dollars.
Hurry up. (bag rustling)
- At the top of the front, we have the front-facing,
eight megapixel f2.0 aperture camera
and around back are dual 12 megapixel cameras,
one being wide and one being, sorta, telephoto.
Now, one also has an f1.8 aperture,
and the other one has an f2.6.
Powering all of this is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835
processor with eight gigs of RAM.
Now it only comes in one storage size, which is 64 gigs,
and it has a 4,000 milli Amp battery that can be charged
using Qualcomm's Quick Charge 4+ to go from zero
to about 70% in about 30 minutes.
Now on the software side,
Razr kept things pretty purposely light.
They don't even have a custom launcher.
Instead, they use Nova Launcher and include the Prime
version of it for free, which, in my opinion, is amazing
because it's the one I usually put on my devices anyway.
It's super fast, infinitely customizable.
It's just a great launcher.
So, for more info on Nova, check out my video
on the best Android launchers that I've linked below.
Now Razr did add a few apps to the device that are worth
mentioning, including their own camera app,
which is basically the stock Android camera
that comes in the SDK with nothing added, no added features,
and the dual cameras in the back just switch
from wide to the telephoto automatically as you pinch
to zoom instead of with a toggle button.
Game Booster, which allows you to customize the
performance or battery life settings for individual
games or a collection of games,
from changing the processor speed to the resolution
to frame rate and whether or not anti-aliasing is on or not.
It also comes with the following games pre-installed
for free as well, Arena of Valor, Gear Club,
Titanfall Assault, and World of Tanks.
Now we need to talk about Netflix for a second
because with the new update that the phone just got
recently, it includes Netflix on the phone by default.
Now you still do need an account, obviously, to use Netflix,
so you have to pay for the Netflix,
not like you get it for free, but it's the first phone
ever to support Netflix HDR.
Then we have a theme store, which is a place to download
specific Nova themes and icon packs,
a lot of which, of course, are game focused.
And there you go.
Now normally these complete walkthroughs are a bit longer
than this because most companies put a lot of software
on their phones or their devices,
and I go through most of it.
But Razr kept it simple, didn't put on any bloatware,
so I guess we're done.
I really hope you guys enjoyed that.
If you did, please let me know in the comments below
and what you think of the Razr phone, this video, et cetera.
Thumbs up it if you liked it enough.
If you really, really liked it,
then please subscribe to the channel.
It's greatly appreciated.
As always, though, regardless, thanks for watching.
