Problems with mine .

I purchased my phone from three UK. The phone listed here is a warranty replacement. On the original device I had two issues.
1) Popping sound after system notification
2) The chroma Razer logo staying illuminated on high setting after phone put into standby and screen asleep.
Three replaced my device, but this one suffers the same issue.
I have hard reset, soft reset, reset to factory fresh. I believe there is a software bug.
My device is running Android version 8.1.0

Update from Razer Support .

We really apologize for the inconvenience. We just got an update that this is a software issue and will be fixed in the upcoming maintenance release for Razer Phone 2.

We suggest that you keep that phone for now since it is a software issue and it will be fixed anyway in the upcoming maintenance release.

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 🍺🍺🍺

Can you set the chroma brightness to high, then turn off the screen .Does the logo stay on?

The Low, Medium, High options with the lighting icon are for power usage. It's supposed to stay on all the time with the high setting.

To change the brightness press the rainbow box where it says main chroma effect then press the sun icon in the bottom left and there is a slider to adjust the brightness.

That's ridiculously great battery life there compared to my current phone!!

If you set on high setting, the logo stays on even when the screen turn off...

I try to make a low consumption battery when I'm not gaming, like last night about 11 pm my phone was on 44%, and then go to sleep without charging my phone, wake up at 5.30 am, and my phone is at 39%.... then charge it, go back to sleep, wake up at 7 and it's already 100%... as long as you set your phone on regular use in low consumption setting, you can get great battery result, but if you put high setting like 120hz screen all the time and the logo on all time, brightness screen at max, it will drain your battery fast, not even half day and you need power bank....

another issue now, they don't download or run the game on background

even my old xiaomi that only 200$ can do that

I just tried download FF Mobius again since it's more than 5 GB I switch and play another game, but when try back to check it's only running when I open the apps,

I wonder if there are any settings to make the apps keep running even in background?

EDIT : already tried using dual screens, the download also stops if not running on the main process.

This is so sad, RP2 should be more powerful that normal phone, my xiaomi note 5 pro and galaxy note 9 can do this, why RP2 can't? It's wasting time and battery since we cannot lock screen or using another apps while downloading the game data (not from playstore, if download from playstore this is running well even if you are playing another game or lock the screen, what I am talking about is the game data download when you start playing a game, example : FF Mobius, Azur Lane, Epic7 and etc.)

I prefer sharp white brightness on RP1, but this made me forget about that:smile_:


lol - IMO there were a few things wrong with the RP1 - but they fixed them all in the RP2 - brightness being my biggest issue...

Which one do you prefer, me, the white brightness one.
But on games it isn’t noticeable. I updated pie, play pubg 5 kills picking dead man items...and damn wlan gone:mad_:
It’s a bit hotter than RP1 on gaming maybe due new vapor chamber that take heat faster to transfer to the cassis, well maybe I download something background and it’s not optimized yet.

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.

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

yeah. I don't have RP 1 to compare but my RP2 is not as bright and white as my 4 years old blackberry is

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

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.
