Razer Phone to debut in Asia at Singtel's SITEX booth

Singtel, the exclusive carrier partner of the Razer Phone, will unveil the Android* smartphone at its SITEX 2017 booth on 23 November. This is the first launch of the smartphone in Asia. Customers will be able to preorder the device at the booth and stand the chance to win limited Razer premiums.

The first device from Razer’s mobile division, the Razer Phone brings the Razer gaming experience to the smartphone. Designed for the ultimate viewing and gaming experience, it comes with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 Mobile Platform, 8GB of RAM and the world’s first 120Hz UltraMotion display to deliver fast refresh rates and smooth graphics.

UltraMotion’s adaptive refresh technology synchronises the GPU and display to remove image tearing or lag while driving efficient power usage.

The 5.72" display – a Quad HD IGZO LCD – delivers vibrant and sharp images with a wide colour gamut. The Razer Phone is powered by Dolby Atmos technology for cinematic audio via front-firing speakers with dual dedicated amplifiers. A THX-certified USB-C audio adapter with a 24-bit digital audio convertor (DAC) guarantees audiophile-quality sound with headphones.

With dual rear 12 MP cameras, zooming from wide angle to telephoto is seamless with a quick pinch on the display. Dual-tone flash ensures that subjects will always look natural.

The Razer Phone packs a large 4,000 mAh battery, one of the largest capacities found on smartphones today. Qualcomm Quick Charge 4+ enables rapid charging.

Users can finetune their experiences with the Razer Game Booster app. The device comes with Nova Launcher Prime with Google Assistant Integration. Nova Launcher Prime enables a custom Android experience. The Razer Theme Store further enables custom looks with wallpapers, icon packs and colours. It includes custom ringtones by Razer DJs and custom wallpapers inspired by the world’s top gaming titles, such as Shadowgun Legends from Madfinger Games.
Razer has partnered with gaming companies, including Tencent and Square Enix, to bring the best gaming experiences to mobile and take full advantage of the Razer Phone’s features. Partners' mobile games, including Shadowgun Legends and Tencent's Arena of Valor, are optimised for Razer Phone’s UltraMotion display with frame rates of up to 120 frames per second. Supported games include Final Fantasy XV Pocket Edition from Square Enix, Tekken from BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Europe, and Titanfall: Assault from NEXON Company and Particle City.

Singtel's launch activities include:

· The first 200 customers in line for preorders at the Singtel booth will receive a Razer Hammerhead Bluetooth Headset worth S$169. On each day of SITEX 2017, 50 lucky customers who visit the booth to try out the Razer Phone will receive a Razer premium.
