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.
I was particularly irate when an app crash robbed me of a chicken dinner in PUBG. The Razer Phone 2’s synthetic benchmark scores mirrored my real world findings. You can see how it compares to the Pixel 3 in the table below.

Razer Phone 2 – Camera Camera performance was a key thing the original Razer Phone struggled with. The Sony sensors weren’t set up correctly and the native app was disturbingly sparse, missing common things like a portrait mode. One year on, Razer claims it has fixed these issues but is redoing the camera app and adding OIS (optical image stabilisation) to the dual lens rear camera set-up, which pairs 12-megapixel AF f/1.75 Wide and 12-megapixel AF f/2.6 telephoto sensors.
On paper the set-up is solid, albeit not industry leading. With real-world use, the camera is a definite step forward from the original Razer Phone. Key upgrades include a more diverse set of shot and video options. Scrolling through, I found all the usual suspects expected of a flagship, including portrait, panorama and manual options. The phone’s video capabilities also appear to have been improved, with the updated app having an option to capture 1080p footage at 120fps.

Images taken in decent light are good enough for use on social media. Shutter speeds are also faster and colours and contrast levels look reasonably realistic. However, the camera still lags significantly behind competing flagships such as the Pixel 3 and Galaxy S9. For starters, it doesn’t pick up anywhere near as much detail, and low-light performance is still sub-par, despite the addition of OIS. Images taken in low light rapidly pixelate and pick up noise.
The autofocus also becomes hit and miss even in moderately dim conditions. The custom modes Razer has added, while welcome, don’t match the competition. The portrait mode, which is intended to create a faint bokeh effect around the subject matter, where the person is in focus but the background is blurred, is a good example. Testing the Razer Phone against the Pixel 3, which is Trusted’s camera phone of choice, shots taken on the Razer were less detailed and suffered from artefacts. Blown up, the phone would also occasionally struggle to detect the subject, leading to out of focus areas around the person’s shoulders and face.
You can see a selection of photos taken on the Razer Phone 2 below. Razer Phone 2 – Battery Battery life was the only other area the original Razer Phone didn’t deliver on. Despite having a giant 4000mAh cell, the first Razer Phone only offered average battery life. Which is why I was concerned the company hadn’t changed the battery capacity on the Razer Phone 2. With real world use, however, I found battery life is moderately better.
With the screen running in its out-of-the-box settings, which floats the refresh rate at around 60Hz, I managed to get around a day and a half’s use. This entailed using the Razer Phone 2 as my primary work and personal handset. A normal day involved listening to music during the morning and evening commute, playing a game of PUBG during lunch, taking and making a couple of calls, regular web browsing and checking incoming messages plus a quick episode of Baruto on Crunchyroll before bed. Video streaming and gaming put a bigger strain on the battery.
