Well if it works as intended, I'd say the usefulness rating should at least be a 5/10.

Also, with "only" 750€ in Germany, the phone is pretty cheap with its potent hardware and also being a Razer product, since Razer products usually tend to only be cheap in manufacturing while being totally overpriced.

I'll just stick with my £66 Cubot X12

Love the concept, not sure what battery life would be like powering that hardware though, especially when it's designed to run under load.

Although I'm tempted, I don't think I'd ever use it for what its intended for, only games I play on my phone now are Sonic 1 & 2. Plus I'd never buy anything made by Razer anyway. My Nexus 5 is still rocking after 4 years

Well let's face it even though that sounds ridiculously expensive it is still £300 cheaper than Apple's latest.

I'm done on expensive phones though. Spent nearly £500 on a Blackberry once and never again. Still got it though

Too expensive. I have now a Note 4 from my wife and that is good and enough for me. I dont game and dont do anything more than surf the web, whatsapp and call with my phone.

Wife "had" to get the Samsung S8 though.....
