With the recent release of Android 9 Pie, I was wondering if there was any official news on if the Razer Phone was going to be getting that release.

Whats the latest security patch on the global razer phone 2? I haven't got any updates since i purchased the phone. My security patch is 5th October 2018

So long between updates and such a terrible overall device (fast, but shit) that I'm pretty sure this is the last razer phone I'll buy. 😕
B
Thank God I got this device for cheap, this year I'll move on from this crappy smartphone.

Good:

  • Stock-ish Android
  • Good Speakers
  • Battery life is good
  • Supplied charger is pretty fast
  • 120Hz display
  • Bluetooth audio isn't terrible and mostly works
  • Great ram and CPU
  • Good fingerprint sensor
  • Quite a nice design

Shit:

  • Not waterproof in a country that's 99% water all the time. I get the speakers would suffer, but I can count on one hand the amount of times I've really wanted to use speakers.
  • No headphone jack - yeah, there's an adapter but that's a pain if you're out and about
  • Slow software updates
  • Really, really, really abysmal camera. It's what a lot of folk use most on their phones and this one may as well not have a camera
  • Pretty shit call quality and connection
  • Occasionally mediocre 4G
  • No wireless charging (yeah, it's the case)
  • Front grilles are a bit naff (think they're glued on) and can pick up dirt and stuff which can be bloody hard to get out.

  • Green logo on the 'special edition' is basically a bloody sticker
  • Screen's a bit shit on the three days per year with bright sunlight
  • Wifi can be absolute bullshit on it

Except for the headphone jack (not an issue for me as I use Bluetooth headphones) and the speaker grille collecting dust, I have none of those issues with the Razer Phone 2. They have fixed most of them. 🙂

Its pretty good actually. Not comparable to a pixel but its decent.

The Razer Phone 2 is unconventional and that's exactly why I love it. If you are looking for a copy cat phone that's been done over and over again, then this is not the phone for you. You would be better off with a Samsung or Pixel phone. I use my Razer Phone 2 as my daily driver and overall I am satisfied. My wife on the other hand looks at my phone and doesn't understand why I love it so much so it all depends on your perspective.

My GF is the same she doesn't see why I like the phone due to the asthetics but I love it and since the RP1 I haven't moved on to another brand. Razer listened to all the feedback about the first one and made the 2nd so much better.

As a message to everyone else - I'm gathering your feedback and passing it on but try to cut down on the language a little bit. I know it can be annoying not knowing what's going on I honestly do and im fighting for you as much as possible.

However if you ever have any issues/personal feedback reach out to me via PM and I'll be more than happy to help or pass on the feedback.
