Razer’s second generation phone might be revealed on October 10
October is already on track to be a busy month in the tech world with Google and Microsoft events on the list, but add one more to the calendar.
Razer has sent out invites for an Oct. 10 event with the hint “Flagship // Gaming.” It seems that it’s a reference to a second generation Razer Phone, but it doesn’t give us much to go on.
The original phone was designed for the best gaming experience on mobile with some super fast hardware like 8GB of RAM and a 4,000mAh battery. Although like the iPhone, there was no headphone jack. Razer’s CEO said that the removal of that port allowed for the larger battery, which makes sense for a phone that could potentially burn through power.

In the company’s most recent interim 2018 results, Razer noted that the development teams are focused on a follow up to the first generation Razer Phone. It will likely double down on hardware, design, and the software it uses.
Razer will be facing stiff competition as Google is set to unveil the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL at an Oct. 9 event, and Samsung is planning a Galaxy launch event for Oct. 11. Not to mention the fact that Apple unveiled the iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR on Sept. 12.
The good news is that for consumers, there will be plenty of options to choose from.
