what do you got in the box hey Gordon I have a razor phone too
that to me by razor look I've got my name on it
Adam p.m. nice night or Patrick Murray okay this is a backup this is the razor
phone we saw our hands on pre-briefing Adam Patrick Murray and Gordon Mong and
I'm joined by a Eleni here to unbox us we're gonna do quick unboxing and then
I'm also gonna do a little camera test so which brings me to the first point
yes I've already unboxed it but that's mostly just so that we could do some
really quick camera testing without you having to wait for me to set it up you
know you later forum everybody everybody gets that letter everybody gets this
letter for men of course you know telling you that this is the best thing
that's ever happened know it's got a signature on it it's special so the box
is a little scaled down from last year I don't remember it I had the compartments
but you know it was a little more traditional of course you got the razor
phone to here with a glass back which enables some some fun little things
before we get to the phone itself on my set of here we're gonna look what's in
the rest of it it's good oh it's got a nice hinge yeah so you know of course
razor always has these great designs Yeah right
and then you know the special razor sim ejector tool
okay sim pick yeah that's nice yeah what else we got you know a little manual
tells you exactly what's in this box but guess what there's nothing too crazy oh
and of course razor stickers just like Apple very important you've got the UH
well for Razer chroma yes you got a razor chroma this one has a it's it's
kind of transitional but it's nice just a little bit you want to check it out
yeah we put this back in real quick because I know Elena likes things to be
organized and inside here you know of course we
have the razor power brick that has nice custom branding on it right look at that
I mean who else puts razor on the power or their logo on the power projection
yeah it says razor here and for Gordon's enjoyment it's a what is that a point
eight amp 5 volt 3 amp wait what about before what do you
usually look for on this thing oh yeah 5 volt 3 amp 9 volt 2 point 6 7 amp 12
volt 2 amp USB see right on the power brick on of course man they really got
it in there a nice little braided USBC cable USB on both ends and the green
there you know signature razor you focus on that and let's think it's focused I
can't tell ya you know it's probably focused I'm gonna trust Gordon's
focusing job here I can't tell yes oh you know what oh man I am bummed because
the dongle they gave last year had it was the same braided cable yeah yeah so
now yeah this is not braided it's it's a little bit of a downgrade I'm kind of a
little saddened by that I'm pretty sure what it does say raters a digital
it'll work I mean it's gonna be like the one that comes with the pixel to excel
in pixel 3 are gonna go yeah I'm gonna go grab the other one why don't you peel
this I know you like doing the big job all right do I do it nicely or do I do
it like a Christmas present opening just don't scratch
all right oh that glass back is really nice yeah so there there is a matte
version but yeah I haven't heard about availability on that one
so no fingerprint sensor no fingerprint sensor on the side so they do a thing
where they they combo the power button and the fingerprint sensor which I
actually like it kind of falls right in the hand whether you're holding out like
this or with your left hand it's all usually about right thumb and my left
index finger before we dive into the back into the phone I do want to show
you this is the dongle from last year and st. braided you know a little do it
is a little thicker so you know they cut down on some size oh that's funny the
the size has been transferred more on the USBC side than the actual headphone
side but yeah braided cable you know I that is that is a little weird you know
I'm not gonna lie I'm kind of curious as to that anyway of course we got the
razor phone from last year razor from one I don't really know what to call it
because it's just the first gen no its redesigned from the inside out there's a
little taller and I believe it's a little wider if you put your hand right
actually feel it dip down yeah you know and they definitely changed it a lot of
the the internals of course seen without a camera but the big thing here is the
the logo on the back everybody knows all the specs already
but really they just want to know how how cool is that logo light up so let me
hand it yeah this logo lights up did you not know that yes this is doing this is
the cool thing enabled by go faster this is how they
made the phone go faster it really is a gaming phone now that you have wired you
be on it oh there we go Razer chroma
I have to enable it there and there we go
I've got it on a slow breathing cycle so it will light up for your notifications
I see what you missed the green no no you can do it you can do whatever color
you want let's see in this in this chroma app is it too bright I'll dim it
down a little bit it is a new brighter screen so hopefully yeah look there we
go no door this is LCD 120 Hertz the highest and OLED can go is on the ROG
phone which is 90 Hertz so you get that extra 30 Hertz and that really means
something yeah it's pink yep and then color so
yeah you know you've got what does it say sixteen million different
configurations and then not only do they have the color intensity they also have
a brightness so if you're like an you know I mean yeah I need to keep it
classy than then you can set it that way I'm gonna keep it green for now and what
I'm gonna do is hop into the camera cuz that's that's one of the bigger things
that people had a problem with on last year's model was the camera was you know
in terms of actual photos app itself or both they patched it heavily in the
months after release and so they realized hey we want this to be an
upgraded sensor at this time we want this to be a flagship experience just
like the rest of the phone cuz hey listen this is a gaming phone through
and through of course you know that but we want to make sure that that other
things like the camera are up to snuff with the other flagships out there so
why don't you take a quick photo of me I'm going to do a
smile between these two phones Otto this is of course a scientific test
absolutely I've controlled for different lighting positioning I'm getting the
exact same shot every time oh that's funny when you hit the shutter button
the green no I don't know why maybe it was missing or something okay nevermind
alright so let me go to the photo of me look at that turn it down ash a little
bit just to make sure it's that cool alright so you know this is of course
the most scientific of test of that I like to do here but you can already see
there's a we got more dynamic range in the shot on the new phone you can see my
foreheads definitely not as dark and that little bright spot from the light
it's not as light let's zoom in on the on my beard you know well okay you know
it's a little hard to see I'm yeah it's actually the it's you can see the
contrast on the the collar here you know I can't really say much for sharpness at
this point I'll of course do more in-depth testing by the time this comes
out but you know at first glance hey at least there's more there's more there's
less contrast you have more dynamic range which is important when you want
to edit your photos but there's something I want to show you I think you
would find very funny when you switch it to the to the front-facing camera there
is a beauty mode on by default oh no I switched a beauty mode are we
talking like Japanese Gordon you're gonna have to come over the shoulder
real quick and Elena you're gonna enjoy this so when I when I turn up beauty
mode see what but to my face
not only is it brightening my skin but also watch watch my watch my chin it's
it's slimming my face just only a little
that is hilarious right yeah it's what all the kids it's all what all the kids
want oh you can even see it on my neck too this is this is a little egregious
oh you know look it's even the finding Gordon's skin tone they're actually yeah
even the skin tone on my arm so it is making some sort of skin tone mask
I feel oh man I just feel like there should be sparkles on the screen and
like a super yeah exactly like this thing yeah so this is razors idea of a
beauty mode yeah a little bit I'm sorry I this is hilarious I can't
Gorgons what you do for fun on your couch are you alright I want to see
Gordon's face look at the camera alright here we go
that's weird hilarious well hey you know what
raise your phone there is a lot to love I like I said I will definitely dig more
into the camera testing I'm not gonna put it in this next round of Les Kim
standing but hopefully the round after that other than that you know you've got
wireless charging you've got ip67 rate in now a snapdragon 845 four thousand
milliamp battery I mean I mean 20 120 Hertz screen the speakers on the front
have been improved even though it's been waterproofed I mean there's there's a
lot to love about this phone so I will put it through its paces and we will see
how it compares from last year's phone and also some of the other gaming phones
that have cropped out but you know razor was the first gaming phone out there
something and if you can find the razor fraud one on on a good sale that that's
not a bad option either what's the price on this baby $800 it has stayed the same
price even though most flagships have started to slowly creep up they're so
good on you razor you could have charged more and they they they held it because
800 for an 845 and all this custom stuff going on I actually think that you're
you're getting a pretty good deal I think it is funny though that razor
typically known for a slightly higher prices right right it's been eclipsed or
at least match some of the other manufacturers in the phone's base hey
you know the iPhone XS Mac starts at $1,100 you know it's that's a lot of
phone and you're getting a lot of phone in here too so anyway hopefully Gordon's
camera work is on point thumbs up or thumbs down in the comments on Gordon's
camera will say yeah and thank you for joining we'll see you later
