Suggestion for Razer: Skip 10, crank it up to 11
As the latest security patch update confirms, Razer has not abandoned the Phone 2 (yet). However, it's been nearly a year since the official release of Android 10 (September 2019), and we still don't have a confirmation one way or the other if the Phone 2 will get the OS update.
My suggestion? At this point, might as well forget about Android 10, and just jump to Android 11.
Granted, I don't know if this is technically possible or not... I would think it is, but I'm not an expert in this field. I don't even think a version skip has been done in an official capacity by any Android phone manufacturer (could be wrong). Just that I feel that given how long it's been, any effort towards updating the Phone 2 to Android 10 would be better used towards Android 11 instead, giving a longer lifespan to the device.
Additionally, along with an OS update, there are some big issues that could be fixed along the way:
-Enabling Apt-X/Apt-X HD codec support
-Working with the Google ARCore team to finally add ARcore support officially
-Maybe fixing whatever is causing the speakers to crackle (assuming it's a software issue, not a hardware issue).
I still maintain the belief that the Razer Phone 2 is an incredible phone, it just needs some software love. :)
(oh, and maybe give some love to the Phone 1 users, too!)
