This phone is also a gaming phone just like its processor and comes with a Vapor Chamber Cooling System that allows heat to spread throughout the phone with a custom vapor chamber to dissipate the heat.

The Razer Phone comes with a 5.72-inch (2560×1440 pixels) Quad HD 120Hz UltraMotion display, as seen on the previous gen Razer Phone. The display makes the smartphone run smoother and best for graphics-intensive usage suitable for gaming. It is powered by Snapdragon 845 processor clocked at 2.8GHz and is coupled with Adreno 630GPU.
