Razer Phone launch: company squeezes PC gaming tech into a smartphone

Razer has shoehorned performance laptop technology into its 8mm device, targeting young consumers who want to play quality games on the go

Gaming on smartphones is big business. So big that hardcore gaming firm Razer reckons there's a better way to make a smartphone that's good for games, but that you won't be embarrassed to use in public.

Having started making precision mice and colourful keyboards for gaming, then successfully moving into performance laptops over the last five years, Razer believes that mobile is the next step in gaming.
