First-ever Razer Phone open for preorder in Singapore on Nov 23

Razer first unveiled its first-ever smartphone, the Razer Phone, earlier this month on November 1.

For a company that is best known for their high-end gaming mice to gaming laptops, the Razer smartphone was very highly anticipated amongst its legion of fans.

Designed for gamers, the 5.7-inch phone comes with a 120Hz display that enables smooth graphics with minimal screen tearing or lag when running compatible games.

Razer has even partnered with gaming companies such as Tencent and Square Enix to optimise mobile games for the Razer Phone's display. Some upcoming titles include Final Fantasy XV Pocket Edition, World of Tanks Blitz and Tekken.

It also features a large 4,000mAh battery with a quick charging feature that rapidly replenishes the phone's battery. It is powered by the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 flagship processor used by this year's top Android smartphones and has 8GB of RAM.
