I also dont get why they called it the Edge - they already brought out the Edge back in 2013 - it was a Windows 8 gaming tablet with Nvidia graphics - with the option for a dock and gamepad - see review here - i still have my one which is the pro version - i7 - 256gb

Pretty sure its an all in one dude. However it can still be used as a phone too. But who the hell is gonna carry this thing around as a phone...this is why its poitnless - just easier to buy a kishi and use your high end 120hz phone in the controller when you need it...thats my opinion anyway.

this is why i bought an Aya Neo - it runs windows so i can play AAA games on it - they run well enough because the resolution is low...plus you can turn settings down.

I can also use it to stream high end games via Moonlight (or xbox/ps servoces if you dont have a dedicated gaming PC to stream from

Do You reccomend it for games, like is the quality high at all? Do you think its worth the purchase?

Its not very clear this is a phone that comes with the Kishi V2 right? It can still be used as a standlone phone i suppose, i couldn't find too many photos of it.


It's not a phone. It's a tablet with the option to use mobile data for internet access. It doesn't make calls or anything like that, at least out of the box it's not meant to be a phone. The controller can be disconnected too so it can be used it tablet-only mode.

if you go for the 5g option it will obviously be a phone too - you will be able to make calls 100% - whether its "meant to be a phone" or not is besides the point - it can be used as a phone if you go for the 5g option

Also it looks the size of a large phone in between the pad as well - no way near the size of a tablet

Obviously that's true. Point was mostly that it's not intended to be a phone. It's basically a 7 inch tablet. (6.8 inches) It's definitely a tablet, just not as wide as traditional 7 inch tablets. It's not going to be practical as a phone because it doesn't have an earpiece and the microphone placement is not in an ideal location either. If someone wants to go through the hassle, I guess they can do that but it doesn't seem like it would be all that reliable / practical or fun to be used as a phone.

We'll have to see once it comes out though. We all want another razer phone, hopefully this is going to eventually lead into that.

so basically you were wrong - its a phone lol - which was the question - the 5g version is basically a phone in a kishi

No. I'm not wrong. You're making a broad assumption this can be used as a phone. Its like saying an iPad with 5g connection is a phone. Its not. Can you use an app that let's you make calls? Possibly. But it lacks other hardware and identifiers that make it an actual phone. Its no more a phone than a computer with Skype or an iPad with a VoIP.

You cannot assign a number to it.

The connection for 5g is strictly meant for data. Verizon sells data only plans and that's what this will use. You would have to use a 3rd party application to route and forward calls to it. Similarly to google voice or Skype. Which is ridiculous and not reliable.

Its a gaming tablet with the option of mobile data. Nothing more nothing less.

For the price of the 5G version you could definitely get a pretty killer phone these days. Since they haven't posted the price of the 5G version it's safe to bet it'll be a lot more than the base model. How much more though? Hard to tell but I'd imagine it'll probably be $100 or more plus the price of the verizon plan.

you have absolutely no idea - every sim card has a phone number -you connect bluetooth headphones to it and you have a phone.

its ok to be wrong sometimes - dont worry

Here we go! If this works well then well done Razer...the ability to play Android games that dont support a gamepad, with a gamepad is the last major piece in the puzzle

Is the USBC port a display port as well? Are you able to connect a set of AR glasses directly to Razer Edge?

good shout - i have Nreal Air glasses and i connect them to my razer blade and my Aya Neo, as well as my oneplus 8 pro.

i really wish the kishi v2 had usb c video out passthrough but it doesnt - it only lets you charge it....i reckon this razer edge is just a kishi with a phone in the middle - basically a pretty good deal - only prob is you cant detach the controllers and use it as a phone only lol - you may be waling down the street taling and it looks like your talking to a game controller
