The variable refresh rate means that unlike most phones, the Razer Phone 2 can run at different refresh rates depending on what it’s doing. If it’s doing something static it can lower how many images per second it displays to preserve battery. If it’s doing something intense, such as gaming, it can bump up to a maximum of 120Hz, offering players a smoother, more reactive experience. The only other phone I know of that can do this is the Asus ROG Phone, though until I get a chance to properly review it, I can’t sensibly comment on how the two gaming phone displays compare. The nifty ultramotion tech also makes a return on the Razer Phone 2 and remains a key selling point for gamers. Ultramotion is a similar technology to G-Sync; Razer debuted it on its original phone.

It syncs the GPU with the Razer Phone 2’s variable refresh-rate screen to reduce the number of screen tears. The combination of factors made playing games like PUBG feel noticeably smoother and more reactive than it was on competing flagship phones. The QHD resolution also ensures icons and text look uniformly sharp. My only minor quibbles with the screen are its old school 16:9 aspect ratio and slightly dirty whites.

The issue was particularly noticeable holding it next to the iPhone XR and LG G7 and is a shame as the screen is otherwise fairly well calibrated. Blacks aren’t as deep as AMOLED panels, but they’re good enough to give the screen a decent contrast ratio and colours don’t look too cool or too warm, giving rendered images a pleasingly realistic look. Razer claims it stuck with the basic 16:9 aspect ratio because most movie content is mastered in it, but it made the phone feel a little old school and flabby compared to competing flagships, such as the Galaxy S9, which has a slicker 18.5:9 aspect ratio.

Razer Phone 2 – Software Razer has taken a pleasingly light touch with the Razer Phone 2’s software. Out of the box, the Razer Phone 2 runs using Android 8.1 with the Nova launcher – an update to the next version of Android has been confirmed as well. The software does have some third-party applications and services installed, like the Chroma RGB light control, but is generally bloatware-free.

There aren’t any duplicate music players, calendars or email clients installed. Instead you’ll just find app shortcuts to the Razer theme store and controls for Dolby Atmos. All in all, outside of the Pixel 3, Pixel 3 XL and Android One phones, such as the Motorola One, you’ll struggle to find a cleaner Android install.

Under the hood you’ll find a powerhouse Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 CPU and 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM. These specs let the Razer Phone 2 run pretty much any game you throw at it hassle-free. PUBG purred along with zero lag or stutters. The phone also easily deals with multiple-tab web browsing. A Vapor Cooling system, which replaces the old Razer Phone’s heat pipe, ensures the phone never heats up to uncomfortable levels, even during prolonged gaming sessions.

The only issues I noticed stemmed from software glitches. On occasion the Razer Phone 2 would stall for a fraction of a second or unexpectedly close an app. Thankfully, these incidents only happened very occasionally, but they are an annoyance nonetheless.
