Razer set to launch Razer Phone 2 by December 2018

Razer was the first to put out a gamer-centric smartphone and it wants to build on that with a new iteration of the phone. Razer VP Chen Xiaoping announced at China Joy 2018 in Shanghai that the next Razer Phone will be coming by the end of the year in China. Chinese media speculate the new phone will come with a Snapdragon 855 processor because Qualcomm usually launches its new chipset in early December.

He said the phone will carry the “latest chipset” but isn’t specifying which one. We can expect the phone to feature top-notch specs, similar to the original Razer Phone. As for whether it’s getting a global release, well, that’s another thing we’d have to wait and see happen. But Razer did launch the original smartphone internationally so we’re expecting them to do the same.
