Razer phone spotted in the wild

-
In case you missed it, Razer is allegedly planning to unveil its first smartphone on November 1. That does sound a little odd, since the gaming gear US company is not exactly known for its mobile hardware. Although, it does already have a Razer Edge Pro gaming tablet under its belt, which enjoyed questionable success at best.



Leaks regarding the alleged smartphone are still scarce, but it has already popped-up on GFXBench and now a rather obscure source claims to have a photo of the handset as well. We'll leave it up to you to judge on authenticity, but as the story goes, an unnamed insider, working in the gaming industry, acquired the still unannounced devices as a testing platform for games.


This does sound quite plausible, since we can only assume any Razer phone will have a gamer-angle to it. The alleged specs sheet certainly paints a capable flagship picture: 5.7-inch, 16:9 QHD display, Snapdragon 835, 8GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, a 12MP main camera and an 8MP selfie one, all running Android. Google's mobile OS has, indeed, become a pretty viable gaming platform over the past few years and there is still a lot of untapped potential to explore, as far as mobile gaming is concerned.

Plus, Razer has already signaled its interest in the Android gaming niche by acquiring the Ouya Android-based gaming console back in 2015. Another sadly misfortunate venture. Speaking of which, another company now under Razer's wing is Nextbit, which you might have heard of for the now discontinued Robin smartphone. Looking at the leaked shot, we can't help but recognise at least some design traits from the Robin.

That's about as much as we currently know on Razer's plans in the mobile realm, but we are interested to hear your opinion on the matter. Would you buy a well though-out Razer phone that offers tangible improvements to mobile gaming? And if so, what would those be?

Google is pushing out an updated version of its contacts management app, bringing some of the features available in the web version to the Android app. The v 1.5 update reorganizes the user interface of Google Contacts. Instead of the two tabs – all and favorites – the app now just displays your entire contact list, with a sidebar menu available via the hamburger button on the left. Opening that up reveals a new section for managing duplicate contacts. That’s a feature that was present on the web app of Contacts , but the process was more convoluted on the Android app. You can now also add labels to your contacts, making it easy to organize large contact lists based on groups, for things like family, work, or school. That’s another feature that was present on the web app and it’s now finally making the jump to the Android app, a place where it’s actually more likely to be used. Google Contacts 1.5 is currently rolling out to all users, so it should land on your

LG Display used CES 2018 in Las Vegas to officially unveil its new OLED displays - one of them being a 65-inch 4K flexible screen that can be rolled like a newspaper. The other is an 88” 8K OLED panel that we told you about last week. The flexibility of the 65” OLED display makes it easier to transport or store in the corner. Its small size allows for better space utilization, meaning you can take the TV anytime, anywhere and “enjoy bright, high-resolution content”. LG Display will also showcase its latest upgrades of the IPS technology. The panels now have IPS nano-color, “which expresses rich colors using nanoscale high-color reproduction particles, and IPS technology, which increases the transmittance and reduces the intensity of light reflected on the panel.”, said the company in a press release.
