hey peace world fans Adam Patrick Murray with Gordon mom hey so and here I have
the razor phone too Oh nope that's the razor phone one this is the razor phone
too you can tell by the RGB logo all right
Gordon we got the razor phone too here there are a lot of the awesome things
that are the same I don't know looks a square box it looks the same but they
completely redesigned it but you still got the same awesome speakers got the
dual amps got the 120 Hertz screen still 5.7 16 by 9 because that's the the right
way to do it with traditional content but on the back it's different you got
you got the glass so the the glass enables a couple things that it enables
the new Qi charging dock that we have right here you just place it on here and
you get a nice right nice little light up RGB on them it starts to an RGB dance
so it's charging yeah I guess if you get if you land the phone wrong a lot of
these if you have one of these charging phones and you miss it tells you you
missed and it'll start blinking red but it looks like it's a pretty big pad here
I'm not missing underside yeah nice so also because of the glass had enabled
RGB lighting on the the logo obviously last year's model had the nice the nice
shiny logo here maybe you were lucky enough to get the special green one but
you've got full RGB and this is enabled by going into the the new chroma app
here so you can pick between breathing static spectrum obviously you can change
the colors even the brightness it actually gets pretty dim which can help
something on the on battery I'm going to flip it around you change colors prove
it's RGB there Adam that's that's proved let's let's get up here in the red let
me change the brightness all the way to max that's pretty bright yeah I'm gonna
change it back to green though cuz we're at reason yeah
let me go down here and that's very subtle right yeah only and the
notification get those does that change during notifications it changes during
notifications let's see you can set to breathing obvious RGB you know all this
all this fun stuff let's go back but yeah you can have notifications turn
on/off you can tell how much battery you want it to consume if you're worried
about battery life but I got to tell you with the the same four thousand milliamp
battery is the first one I'm not too worried about the battery I think it's
gonna last even with the RGB lighting anything better yeah so yeah I mean even
though it looks the same in a lot of ways the they've changed it a lot about
the internals once you tell me a little bit about the cooling because in the
original model it had the two heat pipes I remember from jerry-rigged
everything's teardown that that he showed those off right and here you got
a new vapor chamber chamber same thing you're seeing a lot of the advanced GPUs
r-tx has it previous generations you've course had a RZR basically says you know
what we're you need you need to keep the SOC cool to get more performance to get
more frame rates to get more clocks so we went from dual heat pipes in the
original RAZR phone to basically a heat pipe that's almost the entire back of
the phone I keep calling you he pipe a vapor chamber that's almost the size of
the entire phone and what a vapor chamber does is it helps wick that heat
out from where the CPU is which is sort of near where the Razer logo is across
the entire flat vapor chamber and you gotta remember this is a huge
engineering problem this is not a PC there are no fans on her there's no way
to exhaust the heat so what the best you can do is sort of disperse it and then
let it sort of build you know go ahead dissipate it on its own so by putting
this vapor chamber in here over the previous heat pipes Razer is saying they
should be able to kick the ass of most other 845 probably all the other 845
that is a big difference phones on them good previous razor one Snapdragon 835
new one 8:45 well they're saying over the 8:35 from last year 20 to 30% more
power B not not only on the process but also because of the cooling performance
EO that's pretty decent Matt wow that's good willing a lot of that's from that
vapor chamber and also they're saying yeah you can play a game for a long time
in this phone and not have it start to slow down some of these phones you know
you leave it on your dashboard you play a game POC rates drop frame rates drop
so even though it's the it seems like the same panel it's actually brighter we
did some side-by-side testing and yeah it's definitely brighter DCP yeah III
ip3 yeah thank you the other big news what oh the Netflix
HD our Dolby Digital 5.1 termination listen the all the content on the
original phone sounded and looked great but now it looks even better I'm not
worried about the new stuff that's happening here so a couple of the things
that I want to talk about that that I was a little disappointed by last year's
model the first one was the camera so as you as you can see they kind of changed
the location of the camera they switched from Samsung to Sony sensors some new
glass even though the the specs were the same everything under the hood has
changed even the camera app has been redesigned with a little nicer layout so
you got oh is on the wide but not on the telephoto unfortunately but hopefully
you know I'll put it through its paces but I definitely want to see how it
performs especially since last year's models dead it's a little short fellow
short the other thing was the the the vibration motor that the happy haptic
feedback I had some real problems with this unit it sounded like a like like
there was Mexican jumping beans inside it but this one I can already say it's
it's an upgrade it not only not only does it feel more nuanced it's not as
loud and it's not gonna really rattle around on the mid disk so
I'm excited about that once again the specs he said the the 845
chipset has been upgraded the selectable frame rates too right so that's actually
pretty nice I don't think I've seen that in most other phones there's like a you
can actually basically in your game select what clocks be you you went to
the processor too right yeah so it's separate from the actual screen itself
just like last year you can go in here and depending on how you wanted battery
life to to work you got 69 days and 128 different forward but for the actual
game performance you can go into the new app right here the razor oh man I've
missed the name what was the name raise your cortex that's what it is
cortex oh yeah you know you viewed on the game yeah you can change it
system-wide or you can go in here and change each game not only to the the
speed of the CPU but you've got the resolution it'll play at the framerate
and it even has more options than what's at the system level which is nice and
then you've got anti-aliasing Racer will recommend kind of optimal or optimal
settings based on the game but you know you can obviously just should just go
full tilt if that's your thing and I know that's probably how I'm gonna do it
so yeah we know we've got games loaded up here I'm gonna save these and like
you can see per per game you can even go in there and change how you want
everything to be laid out so that's pretty awesome
I think it's rationale is if you want a game if the game doesn't really need
those high clock speed you can crank it down and get a little more battery life
out of it I'm guessing I mean I would say even even with the games that
weren't optimized for the high refresh rate screen it I still always left it in
performance mode ish because you get a benefit out of it and I mean you still
feel that at the system level just set that smooth scrolling I just love to sit
here and just open up the dock or open up the tray it just it just feels good
the original phone did it support micro SD
I just bought a brand new SD card so I want to know yeah you're what 414 is
that gonna work in this phone yes yes and then we got the the two-slit SIM
trays I mean that this thing just like last year's version is packed to the
gills I mean it's designed for gaming it's designed for that that cool razor
look fit within the ecosystem of the laptop and the headphones and I think
this new phone is definitely going to fit in right along with it I am gonna
miss the the all-metal design just because I'm butterfingers I'm worried a
little bit about the glass but it is still the coolest roller Glass 3 on the
back Gorilla Glass 5 on the front yeah so I'm not I'm not gonna drop it here to
test it but it should should hold up and you know I got used to the fingerprint
reader on the side actually kind of liked it well cuz I guess I'll make
sense cuz you're gonna hold the phone like this right yeah
yeah then you can draw or if it was the the thumb on the right side yeah that
works it's not really a it's not a it's not a bad place when all in fact it's
pretty good and I don't know I I like the glass and you know as a gamer RGB
you got have our G you have to have RGB it makes a game faster it's the
clinically-proven desert Oh check this out - look on the dock no price on this
dock no press on the dock then a bummer but hey you want to leave it flat you
can do that - nice up there you go so and plug it backs in it whoops
who knows so even though even though at first blush it doesn't look too
different right the I mean from from the inside out it has been redesigned with
that that meticulous razor design language that we've come to love so
around it and curve yeah I'm excited to get one in and keep testing it so
obviously you can take pre-orders today for $7.99 and then it'll launch sometime
soon we don't know quite yet but uh keep it locked to PC world for more coverage
on it and then definitely review them yeah I'm excited to try it out so I'm
really interested in seeing if that vapor chamber holds up take a high end
other phone make this see which one is running fastest after
means a gaming yeah yeah well we'll get a deep dive into thermals we'll get your
your FLIR yeah yeah out for the thermal testing so yeah that that's it that's
the razor phone - thank you very much Gordon for checking that with me well
can't wait to see it alright see you later
