With daijisho it runs every emulation I've tried, Xbox cloud works great on my internet. Screen is way better then my Asus ROG phone 6. Overall great for the price.
I own it and I can't put it down this thing is amazing I also use it with are ps5 and the power of the edge Surpasses my expectation. Great gaming handheld on the go.
I have the steam deck but I recently picked up the razer edge 5g version for only $200 new in box (a deal I couldn't pass up!) The razor edge surprised me in many ways This thing is freaking awesome! It's a very capable device for emulation and The screen is absolutely beautiful! I tried some cloud streaming on it too and that was awesome I absolutely love this thing!
@@CandysChannelI kept on checking OfferUp until somebody posted at a decent price. He originally had it posted for $350 then he lowered the price to $300 and I noticed it sat there for a week So I made him the offer of $200 and he took it.
there's no way you got a brand new in box verizon 5g version without it being stolen or active on another account. verizon is not in the business of selling these as "unlocked devices" 😂
Good video! I had already bought it, it’s on the way. I did consider the g cloud heavily, but I wanted that extra power for emulation when I don’t have the Internet. My primary daily use is home streaming, private cloud (moonlight) and I wanted the absolute best picture quality with wifi 6e and high fps. I already tried emulation devices and a hacked switch. The Switch was the closest so far, but tons of artifact and can’t go over 720p or 10mbps. We’ll see if this does the job!
imagine letting other people make decisions for you, i still bought and have an s22 ultra and still use this for steam link all day long man domt let other people influence you, youre a grown ass man
I have been playing games on samsung s22 ultra, and now I own razer edge bought it for 220euros, such a pleasure, amazing screen, Xbox, android, Nvidia geforce now, playing perfectly! People saying edge is just like a phone, but my s22 ultra gets hot when I play for 30 mins heavy games, with the edges it's like piece of cake, stable and comfortable playing, holding it
What kills it for me is the aspect ratio. If you’re going to sell it as a gaming device, make it 16:9. Nobody wants black bars on a screen that’s already so small
Don't complain to me about poor button placement when comparing this to my red magic phone I am constantly taking screenshots when trying to pick up my phone or change the volume
Absolutely having a blast with my edge 5g. Idc what anyone says, emulation may run close between this device and steamdeck, but it looks better period on the edge. Idgaf about steam os and windows. I can have both on the Edge all while staring at that beautiful screen.
Yes my red magic phone is more powerful, but because of this, there are so many compatibility issues that the Razer Edge actually runs better. At least with the switch emulator apps
I actually put my Razer Edge on EBay, only hours of receiving it. I have a Steam Deck, but I’m regretting my decision since the Edge makes the Ayn Odin Pro practically obsolete aside from the Pro’s dual boot feature. I’m thinking of buying it but getting the 5g version if it’s possible without buying a 5g subscription. Even the 6gb version is very powerful.
It’s definitely a good device! Maybe it’s got more use with 5g. My main issue is just carrying it around since you need the Edge and the separate Kishi attachment. Thanks for watching!
I really hope that in the future. Will see android handhelds with flagship specs, but without cellphone capabilities to save on the price. It'll be great for people who only use android.
Wow looks like maybe you got lucky! It's not even for sale yet on Razer's website! The main different between the v2 and v2 Pro is the addition of the 3.5mm headphone port on the Kishi itself. Other than that it's pretty much the same.
@@ScatteredBrain yes nvm lol mine doesn't have the headphone jack I don't think. Idk why nobody uses bluetooth headphones these days or requests aux headphones lol
Appreciate the review. I actually just bought this from Amazon on sale for $250 yesterday. I already have a steam deck, but I’m looking for something I can just dedicate emulation to, especially GameCube games! There’s no chance I would buy this at msrp, but $250 was a steal imo.
This thing is amazing. Size of a Switch Good Performance Not big or small Emulation Google Play games are much cheaper! A switch with android! Im thinking of picking up a used one for hopefully around $300.
I’m really not understanding people’s complaint about this device outside of the ratio. It’s literally cheaper than any gaming phone, and has a pretty strong presentation. Of course the price will dip in coming months
Exciting! Check out the Google Play Store. You’ll be able to find a majority of emulators there. Most emulators you can find more recent in-development or experimental versions from their websites directly but to start, I’d see what the Play Store has to offer, then tweak the emulators from there. For RetroArch, use RetroArch Plus 😉, the Google play store makes it a little confusing. Thanks for watching!
“Is everyone supposed to have a sim removal tool just laying around” Looking at the target demographic…I would say it’s expected since most high end phones come with them and have for the past 5 years now. It wouldn’t make sense for them to design it any other way if it doubles as a SIM Tray
@@ScatteredBrain Depends on the paperclip as I've had a few that worked. They were pretty small. Long and short of the idea, any significantly thin metal should work.
Just foud out Odin 2 at the 289usd with discount, no point getting this one anymore,Odin 2 has SD 8 gen 2 as well. Crazy dude,nearly bought Razer edge tho, since Im a fan. Good luck son. Tho I like the tablet form factor.
Nice beard! Well, I don't really get why they decided to go for 20:9. Yeah sure, it's great for DS and 3DS, but in all other cases it's just a mess. 16:9 would've been better.
For ports Android games and N64 the larger screen is amazing. But for everything else… yea a 16x9 aspect ratio would DEFINITELY be better! Thanks for watching!
No, you’ll have access to the full 1tb of storage, but it means you can’t store a single file that is greater than 4gb - this means a lot of PS2 games or Switch games won’t be able to be stored on the microSD card. Some of this can be “fixed” if you don’t mind storing files between your razer’s built in storage and your microSD but for me it’s a massive waste of the internal storage when games like Genshin Impact and COD Mobile take up so much space and HAVE to be installed to the internal storage of the Edge
I feel like youre better off with a newer samsung phone and the razor kishi. I mean im using an s9+ and between gamepass and emulators im set. I can literally play switch games with skyline. All that plus the other benefits with a phone, and samsung dex for a pc experience. Im about to upgrade to the s23 ultra with my verizon plan, getting a bit off due to trade in and paying the rest in installments. If I'm gonna buy an actual handheld I'm going for something like the Steam Deck or the new Ally.
when Steam link is active you have to change the resolution of the game to reflect the same resolution as the Edge. It’s not very “plug and play” but hey, that’s PC gaming!
I just fail to see the use case for this device. It seems to me that it's a wasted opportunity. $399 for the WiFi version, or $500 for the 5G version!!?? At least the Logitech GCloud is a handheld console. This isn't.
When you were a kid and bought a toy only to find out batteries weren’t included and you could use that toy, didn’t that suck? When I got my Razer Edge and found out I had to dig through my stuff to find a SIM removal card, that totally removed me from being immersed in experiencing the device. Sure you can go out and buy all of the pieces but it’s a way better customer experience to actually provide the customer with everything they need to keep them sucked into the device
Their device prices are definitely high. I actually am a huge fan of their products. I’ve got the Razer Blade laptop, their speakers, gaming mouse, and headset. But despite that I agree the Edge is a hard sell. Thanks for watching! 😊
There are cheaper or at least more affordable ones. It's just not worth it. A gaming phone can pretty much do what Razer Edge can, plus, even more. So Razer Edge is a definite no deal, at least for me.
Understandable! A great performing device for gaming and emulation if you can rationalize the price point - even without the RAM difference. Thanks for watching 😊
I do find that rogue squadron is incredibly hard to emulate - I don’t know if I’ve seen it perfect on an android device yet. Curious where you’ve seen it running better. Thanks for watching!
It doesn’t need a SIM card so you can have it as a dedicated device which is the main thing to separate it but there is a version with SIM card included too! So yea it’s a phone without the phone. Thanks for watching!
The Razor lost me when I learned that it was limited to FAT32 card and you said 4 gigabytes total? It like equivalent of a high performance car with a gallon tank. Besides it defeats the purpose of a stand alone handheld to take advantage of leaving the house with most of your games to play. If not why not get a console.
The Razer Edge still unfortunately doesn’t have support for exFAT so I’m sure a 2tb card is supported and usable. But it just means that each file can’t be beyond 4gb each.
@Scattered Brain Yep, hence my point. The problem is there are cheaper just as functional options, so the main use would be emulation. Seems they misread the market. Would be bank with 6" 16×9. Verizon has sold hardly any.
For emulation and streaming don't get this. No matter how powerful, the wide aspect ratio is not for that purpose, seriously. You cannot wide screen hack every PS1 game so there is no compromises. Even at wide screen the black bars on the side is a wasted space. Just think, you bought a 6.8 inch but can only use 4.5 inches, there is no defending this device!
Wah wah wah. This is premium tech. Sick of helping make these 'i got this for free' reviews get money. I love razer and will continue to buy their products. Razer themselves said at CES this device is designed as a switch competitor which it does in amazing fashion.
You’re insane if you think I got the Razer Edge for free (and didn’t disclose it) 😂 I’m also a massive Razer fan but have to look at this without fan lenses
Thanks for watching! Totally get that handhelds aren’t for everyone! I think that is where hybrids have huge value. I nearly never use my switch portably but I love being able to bring it around.
