Razer partners with China Telecom for smartband gamification

Razer’s smartband could get a big boost through a new Chinese partnership.

American gaming hardware maker Razer will partner with China Telecom to connect Razer’s Nabu line of wearables to the Chinese company’s E-Game mobile gaming platform. This move opens a pathway for Razer’s devices into E-Game’s 200 million registered users, 20 million of whom make monthly payments. This could help Razer in their efforts to broaden its business beyond gaming devices into wearable tech, a market that Reportbuyer says is set to grow to $30.2 billion in 2018.
