Images of Razer's gaming oriented smartphone allegedly leaked; expected to come with Snapdragon 835 SoC, 8 GB RAM

Images of Razer's gaming oriented smartphone have allegedly leaked. The smartphone appears to be a largish slate, with a clean and simple design with a large Razer logo on the back. There is a dual camera setup on the back, along with a flash. There is only one image out, and according to the leak, the device sports a 5.7-inch screen, with a resolution of 2,540 x 1,440 pixels. The phone apparently has 8 GB of RAM, 64 GB of onboard storage, and is powered by a Snapdragon 835 processor.[caption id="attachment_4146335" align="alignleft" width="380"] Image: TechByte[/caption]The image appeared in the Slovak publication TechByte, from a source involved with testing the device. In September, Razer had indicated that it would soon be announcing a gaming-oriented smartphone. Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan told CNBC, "One of the most hotly rumored things about Razer is that we're coming up with a mobile device. And I can say that we are coming up with a mobile device specifically geared toward gamers and entertainment. We're hoping to have it come ... by the end of the year, so that's something we're working on."Razer is expected to officially unveil the smartphone on the 1 November event that it has scheduled, which the company refers to as its "biggest unveiling" so far. Razer has tweeted out a teaser that shows an individual staring into the screen of a rather large device, with the word "Watch" overlaid.Developing a smartphone is a foray into a new product category for Razer, but the company has acquired NextBit, the makers of a cloud-oriented smartphone known as the NextBit Robin. Razer stopped technical support for the NextBit Robin soon after the acquisition. The leaked images show a phone that is very similar to the NextBit Robin in design.
