The Razer Edge gets a release date
The Razer Edge, a new Android gaming handheld, is coming soon.
Razer announced during CES in Las Vegas that the upcoming handheld will be released on Jan. 26. The system features a 6.8-inch tablet that comes bundled with the company’s Kishi V2 Pro controller.
The Razer Edge uses the Snapdragon G3x Gen 1 mobile processor and has 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, which is expandable. The handheld also features a 2400 x 1080 AMOLED screen with a 144 Hz refresh rate. Razer has positioned the system as the “ultimate” handheld for mobile gamers and PC/console gamers by offering access to the Google Play Store and cloud gaming services.
On Twitter, Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan said that “The new Razer Edge is designed to be a secondary device that allows you to play all the mobile games on the go at the highest frame rates OR be a cloud gaming handheld. If you’re perfectly fine just using your mobile phone, yup, just getting a Razer Kishi is absolutely fine too.”
Prices begin at $400 for wifi only. A 5G version, available exclusively through Verizon, costs $599 (For a limited time, the cost is reduced to $359.99 if you add a new tablet line and $179.99 if you buy a new 5G smartphone).
