China Joy 2018 took place in August and plenty of
tech CEOs held keynotes. А Razer official said at the conference to expect
Phone 2 in December, and it has just appeared on Geekbench, revealing some of
its specs. The phone was benchmarked with 8 GB RAM and Snapdragon 845 chipset,
contradicting previous reports by Chinese media that the device might have the
upcoming 855 SoC.
Both the single-core and multi-core results are a
bit lower than other competitors reached, but the phone is still in
development, so reading too much in those numbers would be a mistake. Although
the SoC is not listed by name, we know it because the identifier is the same
with other SD 845-powered phones.
Similar to the first Razer Phone, this is also
expected to boot the previous Android Oreo OS out of the box, but should switch
to the newer Android Pie in the months following the announcement. The Razer
Phone 2 is expected to run the chipset in a more optimized fashion and to
arrive with virtual 7.1 surround sound.
