The Razer phone 2 has a fingerprint sensor?

Side power button. It's dual purpose. Also, long press for power off options.
RGB is all I wanted for a razer phone, that was the purpose when I purchased for the razer phone 1, unfortunately, its not the one. And now, everything is on the razer phone 2. I really crave it, I wish that razer will open up an opportunity, agree to take back razer phone 1 and allow the user to offset a corresponding amount of money to own razer phone 2 :big_grin_:. Because I really want to buy the razer phone 2, but I just have the razer phone 1 few months ago, and I dont know what to do with it if I have 2 razer phone. :frown_:
uhh, i thought every razer product has 2 year warranty now, but the razer phone 2 still says 1 year on razerzone

The first time around the phone wasn't designed specifically to be on the Verizon servers, now that the Razer Phone 2 will be, I might seriously consider upgrading my phone from the Note 8 that I have now.

They didn't exactly say that, but I thought it would too.
ANy ideas when the Three preorders will be live?
After the farcical support and promises made on the razer phone 1, I wouldn't touch it if it came with a free Ferrari. 3 handsets in 6 months 1 in the first week from my carrier, vibration motor and speaker issue one 2 months ago from Razer repair centre in Germany random reboots and dropping calls won't be touching any more of their products started switching over to Corsair and ill stick with Samsung for phones

I pre ordered my phone about a week ago, got notified today of shipment. Says it will be at my door on Tuesday. Can’t wait to get my hands on this thing. Hope it lives up to the hype. I have been using iPhone for about the last 7 years, this wasn’t the easiest decision for me.

That's interesting, Where did you order from ?

No it’s also from US carrier, I think Verizon, idk exactly. There’s your UK buddy made Razer Phone photos thread there if you’re interesting btw, I’ve only pubg photoshots on minexD
I got my Razer Phone 2 today and I am also experiencing crackling speakers at high volume/bass, which is sad because I love everything else about it. If nothing official is said in a week I'll be refunding it.

This is weird, they should make improvement on this area, saw those youtubers but my Razer Phone 1 seems even has way better sound, can’t use max volume at home, it’s too loud unlike those reviews. If it’s not software issue it could be something to do with new water proof feature.

Has razer phone 1 been updated to android pie yet?

Are they going to release any better cases than that thin clear one? I'd like a silicone one, please. No 3rd parties.

Otherwise, it's no sale for me. If they don't update last year's phone how can I trust them to update this one?

Our sony xz2c have already been updated some time ago and it is from 2017 as well. I'm tempted to just get another xz2c.

Not yet, Razer Phone 1 Oreo update was also a bit later compared to other brands, on Razer Phone 2 they also mentioned pie update sometimes in idk. But it’ll be, with Razer from laptop to phone software updates you have to have a bit patient;)

Flagship//Gaming has never looked this good, meet the Razer Phone 2: http://rzr.to/phone2



The next generation Razer Phone is here, and the silky-smooth screen is better than ever. The 5.7’’ UltraMotion display boasts true 120Hz touch sampling and display refresh rate—making this the fastest screen in mobile gaming.

Coupled with the unapologetically loud Dolby Atmos dual front-firing stereo speakers, the Razer Phone 2 supports both HDR and 5.1 surround sound content. Perfect for games, music, and movies on the go, nothing comes close to this ultimate mobile entertainment machine.

What’s more, we made no compromises with the all-new upgrades. Featuring a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 2.8GHz processor, 8GB RAM, and advanced vapor chamber cooling—the Razer Phone 2 provides great performance at work and play. We’ve even upgraded the camera, so you can capture stunning photographs and precious memories no matter where you are.

Last but certainly not least, we’ve added Wireless Fast Charging so you can get juiced up quick, IP67 water resistance to weather any storm, and of course an illuminated logo powered by Razer Chroma for full on customization.

Premium flagship features combined with industry leading gaming performance—this is the all-new Razer phone 2. This is Flagship//Gaming: http://rzr.to/phone2

Really glad to see it's waterproof as I use my phone in the bathtub a lot for movies and podcasts etc.

I'm totally picturing the dude watching from the bathtub in "The Truman Show".

Has anyone ...

Just had to comment on your name. Awesome.

Still waiting for word on availability in Australia. Earlier announcements said November, and we're already 2/3 of the way through the month ...

what's up guys, so I've been using razerphone 2 for about a week now and here is my review : (note that I like razer but not that crazy like since I skip the first version which in my opinion still have a setback)

1. Body (casing)
It's great, I like the boxy kind, it look so solid... the glass back also great... but like any other glass out there, the finger print problem, especially when the color is black, so to anyone who cannot stand the finger print can use case for it.... and one more problem with the body is that it's so slippery, not reccomend using the phone while you in sleep position, it dropped many times at my face, and it hurt since the phone is quite heavy....

2. The Razer logo
Really nice but it's not that usefull.... When I'm at home, I only using the logo light only for notification (it's low set at chroma app), but when I go outside, I'm using med setting, turn on while using the phone.... I'll try the high settting, it's drain the battery a lot, especially when you put the brightness at max... and I need to place my phone with the logo on top so I can see the light when there is notification, otherwise need to check your phone quite frequently.

3. Fingger print scanner
Love it.... It's responsive, not too fast but enough fast to enjoy unlocking the phone... I like the placing of the scanner, it's like automatic unlock when you pick up the phone....

4. Speaker
It's so louuuuuuuuddddd.... I'm not speaker person, so I'm usually set the phone on silent, but when I use the speaker, I set the volume at 20%, and for me it's already loud, never try using it at max volume, maybe later.

5. Screen
no need to commend much on this since you need to experiance it by yourself the 120hz screen, it's so smooth, for every games I played at, no matter it's 120hz game or not. But the brightness, for me it's bright, I set the brightness at 40% at room and 100% outside. So if there is someone outhere saying that it's not bright, you need to check your eyes bro...

6. Camera
I'm not a camera person, so for me the camera is okay, the quality is good, the stutter is quick, I hope the camera have a night mode, but overall it's good camera. If you are a camera person which looking for detail maybe it's not for you, but I don't know, need to try for yourself.

7. Performance
It's just great, no lag for every games I played, every app I'm using. It gets hot but a bearable hot, I mean if you play heavy games which required high resolution of graphic, it's getting hot but not that hot, just a normal hot, and it's cooling down pretty quick, so no worries for me.

8. Battery
5 Hour screen time from 100% to 25%, for me that's really great. I played injustice 2, Marvel future fight, and Lineage 2 rev, It's all done from 8 am to 3 pm without charging plus scrolling down on instagram and reading some manga. Then take about 1 to 1 half hours charge from below 10%. That with 90hz setting on reguler use and high performance setting on games with low setting on chroma app.

9. Others
I still remember that there is a problem at razer phone when it connected at computer, it cannot transfer data using the charging cable, well it can now, but need to change the setting at the phone. So when you plug in to computer, go to your phone, scroll down top menu and you will have the option for it.

something that I'm not tried yet, the wireless charging (need to wait for the availability for razer wireless charging), the waterproof (still trying to avoid the water), the bluethooth (not urgent, so maybe later).

So that's all a week experience with the razer phone 2, so for me, I satisfied with the phone, no problem so far (not asking), it's great phone for gaming especially and with the price, I think it's great value, should be more expensive but shoutout to razer for not upping the price too much.... cheers 🍺🍺🍺

already try but still appear 2 of them
1 for contact on sim card
2 for whatsapp contact

found it.... took awhile but find solution for this...
so this problem happen when you see contact on call icon, if it's from contact icon it won't be appear double cuz you can customize it... so here's the solution...
go to contact on call icon then pick 1 (tab 1) of your double contact and then on the top right there is 3 dot and if you tab it there is few option choose "link"... this option allow you to link the contact with other contact or in other word you can merge it into 1 contact.... the problem is you need to do this 1 by 1, no shortcut....

hope it can help... cheerssss

well.. better than nothing, thank you!

now only hope they give firmware upgrade for background downloading, it's quite sad to keep watching the download progress.. meanwhile low budget phone like redmi note 5 can do it, and samsung galaxy note 3,5, 9 can do this
Time to start saving up, this phone looks amazing
Razer has killed Razer Phone project at all. Sell your phone while you can or you will end with 0 soft support.

I prefer sharp white brightness on RP1, but this made me forget about that:smile_:
Joikansai
The right one is RP1...LE 1337 accurately:smile_:, and left one is new RP2. Can give me a shoot from same setting max Brightness in dark area, it’ll be nice if you could.


hey buddy - the left one is amber tint because you have night light set to auto - you need to turn it off....this will make it white....this is nothing to do with the phone - just a setting.

the RP2 has a much brighter screen and it is white light i assure you

hongftu
How come the RP1's screen is much brighter and whiter than RP2's screen. I also does not satisfy with the yellowish screen of RP2


the settings are different on the 2 phones mate - check my response to him. Please dont listen to this - the RP2 has a much better screen mate. The difference in brightness is nearly double - and it is white
Joikansai
My friend, the left one is on german and right one translates it to English, it’s same turned off (won’t turn on automatically). Maybe I just not used to this warm screen since my works phone, Apple phone is even white crispier than my RP1 (right one). Yes you’re right though under sunlight RP2 has better visibility.


ok - when i get a chance i will test my RP1 vs RP2 and see if the same thing happens

....but looking at my RP2 its very white and very nice and if i recall correctly a lot better screen than my RP1

RP2 is the one on the right.

they both have adaptive brightness off and brightness at 100%.

dunno about everyone else but the one on the right is much brigter - yes compared to the one on the right there is a slight orange tint but i will be honest with you i did not even notice this until you brought it up and i have had the phone since the day it was released.

i think it looks worse because it is sitting next to a dull, very dim, greyish screen...this makes it look more orange than it actually is
