Everything known about Razer Edge

Razer Edge is an upcoming Android handheld device that will be able to run Android, PC, and Xbox games flawlessly on its 6.8" 144Hz AMOLED FHD+ touchscreen. The display is on par with other standard handheld products on the market and may beat the existing options in some way.

Razer’s offering is the world’s first device to be running a Snapdragon G3X Gen 1 chipset, which is actively cooled and includes a 3GHz Kryo CPU to entertain long hours of Android gaming on high framerates.

Verizon worked together with Razer to bring the new product to reality. It features the exclusively optimized functionality of the former's 5G Ultra Wideband, making it the first 5G capable handheld console. The admirable connectivity on the device enables players to seamlessly enjoy cloud gaming with the least amount of in-game lag and input delay.

The device features top-tier haptic-feedback drivers to deliver maximum in-game immersion. Fans can plug in the Razer Kishi V2 Pro, which will be included with the product, or choose to play on the touchscreen with Razer HyperSense haptics.

The device will run with the Razer Nexus application that will serve as the dashboard for multiple games and recommendations. It will also provide players with the ability to capture gameplay and stream it on different platforms as well.
