My Razer Phone - FAIL!?

Razer Phone-120 Hz Ultra Motion Display-65GB Memory-8GB RAM-Dual Camera-Dual Front-Facing Speakers

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I've sold my trusty old iphone 7 + and got myself the Razer Phone Chinese New Year (CNY) special edition. I didn't like the latest iPhone 8 or iPhone X (xpensive?) design. Although, they are more powerful then my iphone 7.

It's also been some time, since, I've bought an android phone. That's why I decided to go with Razer. Razer are having discounts offer and I got myself the tempered glass screen protector for free and the hammerhead earpiece for half the price. Awesome deals!

Now, the horror report. After, I did my unboxing, I put my microsd and sim card to the mini tray which is provided for you on the phone. I then, switched on the phone. It all seems well and I followed the ritual setup. But, it all began to seem meddlesome, cumbersome and slow for me.

I even had to restart the phone couple of time, because I didn't know which one to choose. Why should I signed in to Google or Razer. Can't it wait until I'm into the system?

I was already feeling a little frustrated and agitated with the procedure. It seems to be installing stuff without asking me or already pre-installing games. Maybe, they thought, I'll want to immediately try out their new booster system. NOT!

After finally, finishing on the setting up, I decided to test out the apps. Lo and behold, it all doesn't work. It keep giving me the 'not responding' crap, again and again. Even the camera doesn't want to turn on. I had to force close it and try opening the app couple of time. By this time, I was already missing my iphone 7+!

Next, went to the Play Store and even the play store app gave me the 'not responding' notification. Bleh. It took me couple of hours to download all the usual social media apps that I've been using on my iphone. Yes! Hours!!

I've always dislike android. People, been telling me, they have improved the software. But, this just proved, nothing have changed. At the same time, I'm not really sure if it's the OS or Razer phone that's causing the problem. The negativity of the android software is really pulling it down.

The only other mobile phone OS that I like beside iOS are the Blackberry OS 10. Which, I really loved, when I had the q10. I'm really thinking of returning the Razer phone. But, I'm lazy and I'm hoping it might just be the software. Most people, seem to give it grave reviews.

After making the above video, I decided to reset the phone. I'm thinking, somewhere I might have f-up the setup and updating. This time, it seems a little easier and faster. Although, the Google play store are still doing some 'completing setup' crap.

I tried testing out again the pre-installed camera app and yes, it still didn't want to open up and just froze. Stupid phone. I might have to use a different app that actually works. I tried re-downloading whatsapp and the playstore gave me the 'not responding' notification yet again. Ahhh!!

I'll have to find a work around all these problem and try make this phone work like my iphone 7+. Not sure, how long before I give up on it. Granted, this is Razer first foray into the mobile world. And just like the first iphone, there are kinks that they would have to work at.

If you're thinking of getting the Razer phone, just be aware about the problem I've been having with the phone. It might be the phone that I've got or that android OS still suckz. Anyway, I'll be looking out for the latest iPhone iteration. Heard, that there'll be two new versions in 2018!

For the moment, I'm stuck with Razer phone and android. Bleh :p

*Update: Every pre-installed apps seem to be working fine after I reset it. Still testing out!
