The imaginatively named Razer Phone 2 is the second phone from gaming peripherals and hardware specialist Razer, and according to the company, it has been ‘designed by gamers for gamers’. At first glance it’s not the most interesting gaming phone to arrive this year. It doesn’t have the ridiculous design or wealth of peripherals offered by the competing ROG Phone. Instead it’s a 0.5 upgrade that aims to fix minor issues that hampered the original Razer Phone’s appeal to non-gamers.
But the changes Razer has made, which include an improved max screen brightness, upgraded internals and the addition of wireless charging, are positive. These, coupled with the still excellent sound system and super slick, HDR-ready, 120Hz refresh-rate screen, mean the phone is still a dream for avid mobile gamers and Netflix bingers. Ongoing issues with the camera and a boxy design continue to hinder its appeal for everyone else, however. If gaming isn’t your primary concern, you’ll still be better off investing in a competing flagship, like the Samsung Galaxy S9 and iPhone XR.

It has the same hard-line, rectangular design that pairs a 16:9, 5.75-inch screen with chunky top-and-bottom Dolby Atmos-certified speakers. The speakers may look chunky, but they remain a key selling point for me. Gaming and movie audio is significantly louder than on competing phablets and has a surprising amount of bass extension. Gunfire and the rumbling of car engines have a lot more attack and power than you’ll get on competing phones. The addition of Dolby Atmos support further aids its gaming and entertainment chops and helps give audio a faint, but noticeable sense of direction. The button placement is identical to the original Razer Phone, with the volume rockers sitting on its left and the power on its right.
As before, the power button has a fingerprint scanner built into it. The scanner isn’t the fastest I’ve tested, but it is fairly reliable and easy to use, with the power button sitting where your middle finger will naturally rest. Turn the second generation Razer Phone 2 around and you’ll spot one key difference between it and the original: it has a Gorilla Glass back. Personally, networking difficulties aside, I preferred the robust feel of the all-metal original, but the change does at least bring with it support for Qi wireless charging. Razer are also set to ship an optional folding wireless charging dock, which will sync with the Razer Phone 2’s other big feature: Chroma RGB lighting.
The phone’s rear logo and charge-stand’s RGB lighting strip both work with Razer’s Chroma app. This works exactly the same way as it does on the company’s PC peripherals. Jump into the app and you’ll be able to pick what colour you’d like and adjust it to play various patterns for things like incoming notifications. Personally, I think RGB lighting is pointless and generally makes any device it adorns look like a child’s toy. But Razer has made it easy enough to turn the lighting off or set it to only activate in very specific conditions, so it’s not a deal-breaker.

I’m also please to see that Razer has managed to build the Razer Phone 2 to IP67 water and dust-resistance standards, which should let it survive the odd accidental submersion hassle-free. Under the hood, Razer has also made a few updates. Chief of which are the improved vibration engine, which lets the phone give stronger haptic feedback when doing things like gaming, and Gigabit LTE.

This is in an effort to help it meet mobile-HDR standards.
Holding it next to the original Razer Phone, the screen is definitely brighter, but it’s far from the brightest available.
