After acquiring Nextbit, Razer sets sights on disrupting mobile market
Gaming company
Razer - which has so far focused on devices like gaming mice, keyboards,
headphones, as well as gaming laptops - has now revealed that they're planning
to enter the mobile gaming industry.
According to the
company's CEO Tan Min-liang, mobile gaming is "going to be a huge part of
our business."
Razer has entered into a partnership with
telecommunications firm Three Group as part of which they'll be offering
specific tariff plans, services as well as devices to electronic games players.
Besides, they'll also be focusing on "future mobile devices."
"Right now I don’t see any mobile device
or software platform that really fulfills the needs of the [mobile] gamer ...
there is a huge opportunity to disrupt the mobile market," Tan said.
Razer acquired Android gaming company Ouya
back in 2015, and more recently Nextbit, maker of the cloud-focused smartphone
Robin. So the company seems to have the talent that's required to get into
mobile industry.
“With Nextbit, we now have the top tech leads
of Android from Google with us, and the [former] lead designer for HTC who has
helped design HTC phones for [years]. We’re bringing together the best possible
talent at Razer to work on next generation devices," the CEO added.
