Isn't that what TC is talking about?

And I never had a Razer, but I ended up getting a Rizr back in the day.

I really, really hope they get 120Hz screens to take off in Android phones

after the iPad Pro I was really hoping Apple would push it to phones but I guess they're content to milk the non-OLED phones as-is

You are all thinking of the RAZR which is totally different.

Wtf they make phones?

Camera software is crap so end result is a good but not great camera. Updates are promised or if you care enough you can extract the Google Pixel camera apk to dramatically improve the quality, but I don't.

120hz screen
Adjustable refresh rate to save battery.
Part of dying breed of phones that support microSD expansion.
Qualcomm 835 processor (one of the best available right now)
8 gigs ram (basically as much ram as PS4 lmao)
99% similar to stock. No bloatware.
Unlocked GSM (AT&T or Tmobile + generics. I'm using cricket.)
---

ok ok ok

I played a few games on it

This phone is absolutely 100% worth it if you're a big mobile gamer. It is difficult to overstate the massive leap in graphics quality this thing has. It absolutely shits over everything else I've tried including all 3 nVidia Shields and the Pixel C (Tegra X1 tablet).

Just don't play at 120hz if you know you're not going to be able to charge for a while.

edit: accidentally some words

How much did it cost you? I know a guy who is selling one for 500. Is it worth it?

Yes, absolutely. I paid the stock price of $700 but I got a free speaker out of it so yay?

It's GSM only. AT&T, T-Mobile, and other carriers that are compatible with unlocked phones from those two carriers, such as Cricket.

It's a single sim card, so if you're currently using a dual sim card (and actually using both sims) then this will not work for you.

@ChromaticAngel

Questions :

1. Can the battery last a day? If I not play game.

2. It not waterproof right? So if I use wet tissue to wipe the screen do you think it's OK or not?

Sorry for the spell.

Thank you.

Jesus fucking Christ 700 for a phone....

There is no way ppl still use these

Much more than a day.

Correct. As long as you are careful not to get any water inside the ports, wiping down the screen with a moist tissue is okay.

I'm not seeing the benefit with this over the Essential Phone I got for $160 at Best Buy, especially not $700 worth. That also has an 835 and is near stock. It's just missing the microSD, 8GB and the tweaks.

It certainly is a slick phone, especially with the 120Hz screen.

The essential phone is also $700. You paid $160 up front and are paying the rest in installments on your monthly bill.

No, it was $5/month for all of November (and most of October). I paid $25 down, plus $120 for the $5x24 month buyout. I got 5 of them and sold some. I don't even have the service anymore and still have the phones. Was even fully unlocked 2 days after buyout.

I have no idea what the fuck you bought then because I just fucking looked it up on Best buy and it's $699 (although there is a $200 promotion) and your $160 is clearly the 2 year contract.

Does it have a removable battery?

The deal is obviously over since it's the end of December.

You can look the deal up on Slickdeals. And my bad, it was Sprint.com. Best Buy had the G6 for the same price, which I also grabbed.

And no, there's no contract. I just said I have no service and my device installment was listed it as $5/month for 24 months. Don't get why it's hard to believe.

You did not buy a $700 phone for $160.

This is like saying you bought an Xbox one X for $70

If it's like their other products it will break in 2 months.

I clearly did.

How much will the device cost in total?
If everything goes smoothly, you will pay $25 (down payment) when you buy the device. Then when you buy out the lease, you will be charged 18 monthly charges ($90) and purchase option price of $30 for a total of $145 ($25+$90+$30). Note that all these will have your state tax added to them. Understand that there is a risk in doing this deal - Sprint might charge you $30 activation fee, and first month's line fee ($45) and you might have to fight with them to get it back even if you cancel your account within 14 days. Hence your best case cost would be $145, and your worst case cost would be $220.

Now please stop acting ignorant. I only inquired because I figured you of all people would have shopped around a bit and was wondering why you didn't.

You clearly exploited a pricing error and had to jump through a thousand hoops to do so and risk the phone being banned.

It's not a pricing error. Stop moving goal posts. I've been doing this for years. Hence why I have every single flagship phone and pay very little.

You obviously didn't read through all 10k comments, but the people who were blacklisted abused it by constantly upgrading again and again for dozens of phones. That will get you blacklisted everywhere.

The deal got so much popularity that now they've changed it $6/month with bill credits, which is still the same thing if you plan on staying. So it's still alive and less of a hassle if you're staying.

It's ok that you missed the deal. Don't get why you have to be so bitter about it.

Err, no.

1. I needed a new phone now and not in 50 days (cannot use sprint).

2. The current phone deal is a lease only. You have to give it back after 18 months unless you pay the difference between the lease and the full value.

3. I actually use the exclusive features of the Razer phone. If I didn't care about the exclusive features I'd have bought something cheaper like Pixel 2 or OnePlus 5T (Which also has the same processor as Razer's phone).

4. There are lots of reports of people who failed to unlock their phone and returned it without getting a refund, others who either didn't follow the steps properly or weren't processed properly by a CSM and had to pay upwards of $550 to get the phone. This is all in the comments that you claimed I didn't read.
