The intro was the first and probably the last time I've heard Linus not screaming.

*Oh, my goodness. This is Linus in High School. hahahhaha* ALSO that was the best sponsor transition you've ever had, hahahah

This is the best intro I've ever seen.

I love that square ass body of that phone. Legit, not trolling I genuinely like it.

Somehow the EMO-Linus is more convincing in sponsored content✔️

Emo Linus carrying an RGB keyboard around and playing Minecraft on a phone is one of those rare sights you can't forget. lmao

-*Razer phone on sale* -Linus: Here's why you still shouldn't buy this phone.

They said they added huge bezels so that we had a place to grip the phone without covering the screen

I thought i would never be forced to see that wig again

Emo Tech Tips

Real gamers game on late 90s calculators

And this phone is now $300 wtf.. Totally worth

Just a friendly reminder that Linus is the President and CEO of a company, dog bless

Just waiting for the first RTX enabled phone

well rn razer phone to is at $500 while the ROG phone is at $900 so in performance/ price i see it a one of the best options

I'm watching this on my razer phone 2 and it's still hilarious

These intros are getting better and better

Oh my god. That was the most unexpected and cheesy sponsor segway i have ever observed. This takes the cake, good job

Razer phone: **has 8 gb of ram** All cloud books and chrome books: are we a joke to you

I actually like the Aesthetic of both Razer Phones a LOT.

Linus went into EPIC GAMER Mode at the beginning.

Holy shit that intro killed me LOOOOL

*THANOS SKIN* *THANOS SKIN*

I’ve been rewatching old Linus videos for about 5 hours and this is by far the best intro/ad transition

Been using a Razer phone... MK 1... :D ..For nearly a year. Some points: Its bigger than my laptop. Its louder than the music played in my local pub. It doubles as a shield if you end up in some medieval war zone. By bigger trousers than normal, so the phone can fit in your pocket. Buy a belt for said trousers, as you will soon find them around your ankles due to the weight of the phone pulling them down. People think the Earth is flat... They just don't realize we are living on top of the razer phone. My first ever camera phone was a Motorola E365. That phone is nearly 20 years old. It had a better camera than my razer phone. It came in probably the sexiest box a phone could ever come in. I work in construction... and sometimes, I mistake this phone for a brick, patio slab, roof tile.... but on the plus side, if it rains, its so big I can work nderneath it and not worry about getting wet. The battery is pretty good. I find it tidy for playing a few games on. The official phone case for the Razer is... pants. Did I mention its loud? It gets warm with extended 'gaming/viewing' sessions. The phone is unique. Its an Android phone. I dont know anyone else who has this phone. I payed a daft amount of money for the phone. And since I payed so much for it... its the 'best' phone ever... (I keep telling myself this, and wont buy a new phone until this one dies, as I certainly wont lose it, because its to big) And now they've gone made a Mk 2 version? That is toilet proof..? I think they mean, if you drop it down the toilet, it'll just break the toilet pan.

MORE OF EMO LINUS PLEASE

watching on my new razer 2 makes a difference!

Razer phone: *has 16 x 9 screen aspect ratio Navigation buttons: it’s free real estate

I dont think i will ever use the word gamer and phone in the same sentence. But i guess time is changing.

"please dont lynch us for saying something positive about the IPhone" 5:56

I'm here after buying it for $400 on Amazon Prime :)

Actually the price dropped by 300 dollars as of this comment.

OK, thanks, I think we're done! "No... Not just yet!" Laughing so hard at this

Ah man, I was hoping the entire review was done by *Emo Linus* .

Love the creativity fellas! I laughed through the whole intro. Kudos to Linus' makeup person... lol. Hilarity at its finest! :D

Lads, your skits and humour is spot on lately. Keep it up, good shit

Boy, that glass back is great... Too bad I CAN'T SEE IT

FFS why are thin bezels so flipping important? They allow you hold the phone without touching the screen accidently.

Got it for 500, speakers are great to grip in a landscape oriented game (most intensive games)

i was waiting for the sponsor msg, and it's the BEST so far!

Now this is an E🅱️IC GAMER MOMENT

Mobile gaming doesn't exi- Honestly 95% mobile games are cash grabs

2:41 as for future shots meaning to show a phones screen to body rario, could you put a picture of pure white on the phone so we can really see the borders of the screen? Because at the moment you can't really see where the screen ends and where the bezel starts with those background fading into a black especially with that IPhone completely hiding the notch from us. Also please light up the screen a lot more so we can see the edges of the phone rather than a shadow, also lighting it up that much will help us see built in sensors, speakers, home buttons, etc so that in the moment we can see what is actually using up the bezel and where to expect certain things to be. I know this is obvious but for a gamer phone you don't want bottom firing speakers so if we were able to see that the phone has dual front firing speakers it might slightly reduce our hate towards the bezels.

that was the best into iv'e seen in quite a while! you played a "misjudged adolescent" perfectly!

Damn that Skin looks absolutely horrible

This phone gets higher FPS in minecraft than my computer

5:55 man that text on the bottom ... Love your editor

I just got this phone and actually love some of the things you looked down on. I am probably going to start experiencing issues with the powerbutton when my case gets here today though... haha.

real gamers dont need phones because they never go outside

I thought he would fire Colton but instead he did the best sponsor transition ever

That transition introducing the sponsor was amazing I didn’t see that coming. 🤣

I wanna hear more about how they tried to put liquid metal on the processer.

that ad segue is one of the smoothest that i've seen it was lik a baby's tush

The phones got those bezels probably because when your playing games you don't want to accidentally keep clicking on stuff when your just trying to hold the phone.

Just want to say, I work at Ninja Kiwi and it's so cool to see BTD 6 up there @3:39! I geeked out when I saw that because I'm a huge fan!

ASUS ROG doesn’t work with Verizon tho:(

Never understand why Linus hates on bezels so much. I'd never really want a small bezel phone, too awkward to use.

whats with the bezel hate? the ends of your phone get covered by your hands when gaming anywho, i'd rather not have screen there i cant see.

your rock bruh, didn't know you were into nekomimi headphones ^^

5:49-6:06 Probably the best roast I've ever seen on LTT. I genuinely laughed out loud.

I actually did laugh all on my own when watching the start of this video - Linus does the 'gamer dude' just a little too well...

While I am highly unlikely to buy this phone and have not touched or seen one in real life so based on what I have seen I think some of your comments may be a bit harsh. Personally, I would always prefer a 16:9 ratio phone over any of these new taller/wider (depending on how you hold it) ratios. Basically, all content at the moment comes in that ratio as you pointed out so viewing them you will either get black bars on the side or it is stretched. As for bezels, I would choose one with them too over one without them as they give you something to hold on to especially while gaming or watching something. while hard points are not ideal for pockets and holding I would sooner that if it meant you didn't lose screen real estate to round off the corners. That it doesn't have a notch is a great thing too. To me the biggest shortcomings of this is that the batter is still not exactly huge which is going to limit how much time you could game on it. I would hope that these gaming phones would have 5ah batteries in them at least.

The sole reason I wanted a Razor Phone was for those front-facing stereo speakers so would you do a run down specifically about that feature talking about which phones that I can buy new right now (even if they're an older model since I don't think they have changed that much) that do it best. Please.

Its a gaming phone and meant to be held in landscape mode, hence, the thickness of the bezels on the top and bottom to function as palm rests.

My phone is a emulation and media consumption device. Give me great speakers and a sharp display, I couldn't give two hoots about the camera.

Well, it's just my opinion, but bezel-less phones are a pain in the ass when it comes to gaming. You need some bezel so than you can grab your phone strong enough.

16:9 master race. I'm a few years people will be walking around with a line of 8000 pixels saying they have a 10" 8K screen.

"dem bezels yo" Never again please

If I can't play Snake with a physical number pad then it's not my kind of gaming phone.

Hey Linus, I love the video and all, and I dont mind when reviewers add a skin to the phone in a couple of shots through the video. BUT REALLY, we couldnt see the back side of the phone without a skin in the whole video, thats kind of disappointing.

Your costume was SO good that I didn't realize it was you. Btw your sponsor skills are amazing.

Oddly enough I've always loved the corners. I don't feel like the phone will fall out of my hands.

It may not be worth the efffort when it comes to performance but i know for a fact that there are many people that prefer the larger bezals, i wont touch the screen with my palm when reaching to the top corner and it allows more hold for cases. The speakers are also cool cause there large, they can pump higher sound flow and as for the cornered edges, in my eyes at least it looks like a phone should, right angles like a screen or monitor and almost all videos on the internet and 3rd party apps designed for multiple devices are build with right angle renders it just seems more usefull to the trends of the rest of the world. And as for the poking into your palm? Since when would you push hard enough for that to hurt? The touch id is ok as is, you’ll learn its placement after using the phone for a while and if anything a case would help you locate it. Not tryna challenge linus but just want to point how some of these doubts can be good especially for an interested party.

I like 16:9. It doesbt crop youtube videos weirdly and is more comfortable to use when holding it sideways.

Love your intros as always

I really like the bezels and the look of the phone =) I think this is why I like companies making their own phones, so their is variety of style to chose from longs it does A to B.

Would love to see a review of the new LG V40 phone. Loved your review last year of the V30, except you didn't test the audio much considering it's an audiophile focused phone, so hopefully if you do review the LG V40, you'll show some more love to the audio department especially since they beefed up the audio format compatibility (DSD512 and MQA support added), it's using ESS newer Sabre quad-DAC, and has like 75 volume steps for smooth fine volume control (compared to flagships like Apple/Samsung which only have

7:25 how dare you say those words without ending it with "chief"

If i'd have the money i would buy that cellphone only because it looks SO BEAUTIFUL.

i kinda think you should do an update video on how razer have no only canceled the razer phone 3 but also seemingly completely dropped support for the razer phones meaning no android 10 for them

RTX ON: *_TRAP GOTH CAT_*

Lol, that phone has more ram than my PC

my razer phone 2 just arrived in the mail today, bought it because my friend has a ROG phone 2, the speakers and the 120hz refresh rate are the best things about it.

And as a daily driver, it has everything I want and need... I get compliments over the phone on voice clarity of all things too

I love that at the first part, he's playing minecraft

I love my original razer phone. I hope they never change the boxy shape and the big bezels. It's most of the reason i bought it. I DON'T want a rounded phone. My favorite phone before this was my Sony Xperia Z5. Which has almost exactly the same shape.

I love my razor phone 2. I like the box shape, as it really gives me something to hold onto. The RAM, resolution, and 120hz display is awesome. My only complaint is the sound quality at full volume (LOUD) isnt great. I dont really understand the hate for a now $300-$400 phone.

Just bought one for $367, and there are some pretty good deals on used ones too. I think now it’s a pretty decent deal if you can pick it up sub $500. Also from what I understand razor phone 3 is still be worked on, so perhaps the prices for 2 will drop further.

But can it run Crysis?

Thanos phone

I like how the performance graphs inadvertently turned this video into an ad for the OnePlus 6 and the Galaxy S9+

Nice to see Dennis's photo this in video finally

want to hear a joke? mobile gaming

You need a bezel on a gaming phone (or any phone really) so you have something to hang onto. If there's no bezel then your hands get in the way and it's a lot less comfortable to use. It's another reason I like to use larger phone protectors or cases.

I think it's a great phone now that the price has dropped to 500.

Linus has bezel anxiety. He needs to see a doctor about that. Also, 16x9 is still the dominant gaming aspect ratio, regardless of resolution.

I'm not only gamer enough, I'm epic gamer enough.

Razer phone has some failures for sure, but its main ace is the screen. 1440p at 16:9. It has more ppi than the rog if I'm correct. As for bezels, it doesn't matter, do you ever notice bezels when gaming or using a phone? Only if it's a notch. Otherwise no. The only real issue with the bezels is while typing in horizontal mode, you stretch your thumbs out more. It's cameras, I'm not a camera nerd, but one thing I do know is a good photographer doesn't need a super camera, he does need to be able to adjust settings which this phone can't do. Maybe with camera software you could do that but I dunno, . But for regular pictures it's fine. I did download the Google pixl camera APK which gives you slow Mo so that's cool. Even cooler is when playing at normal speed it's at like 120 Hz which you can see! Only issue is it lags depending on your settings at times. As for the power button, you CAN tell where it is because the button is glossy compared to the matte frame, you will feel the difference in grip. As for performance, you can check linus' video. Ergonomics, well actually you get used to it. At first it feels loose but I think what happens is you subconciously make your hands stronger or something and you legit get used to it. As for case compatibility, I don't use a case, so I don't know. Btw I got the first one, the sides of the phone is still metal in the two I think. Razer phone does have quite a few issues, but bringing up things that aren't actually issues just pisses me off. REEEEEEEE

The intro was AWESOME!

The large bezel thing, for gaming, actually might be a plus point, on my S8+ playing a game such as war robots, the on screen joystick and the fire buttons are wayyyy to close to the edge of the screen, I get hand cramp from having to bend my thumbs so far back out to the edge of the phone, without the case on. but with my huge ass case adding about 3-4mm of bezel at the top and bottom extra, it's a slight improvement but i can only last about 30-40 mins before cramping maybe the bezels would help :D?
