Shadow Fight 3 on Razer Phone 2.

Razer Phone 2 hands-on review — Holding its own against Apple’s best

Razer unveiled its second-generation Razer Phone 2 earlier this month in a bid to beat Apple in providing the best smartphone for gamers.

The $800 device has a 120-hertz display and an 8-millisecond response time, making it faster than Apple’s most-competitive iPhone XS and XS Max phones when it comes to refreshing the screen for fast gameplay. I’ve had the Razer Phone 2 for 11 days and have also played with the iPhone XS Max.
