“Razer” and “gaming” go together like peas and carrots. Where there are video games, there’s usually a Razer logo to be found somewhere nearby. Whether it’s a peripheral, or hardware itself, Razer has found its way into most gaming dens.

“Razer” and “mobile,” on the other hand, isn’t quite so easy on the ears. This is a new adventure for the gaming giant, and the Razer Phone is its first attempt at launching a cellphone “for gamers.”

After acquiring phone maker Nextbit in 2016, Razer set to work on creating something that ticks all the boxes when it comes to a gamer’s needs. Looking at the spec sheet, on first impressions, it looks like Razer has succeeded.

However, for the $700 asking price, there’s going to have to be top-tier hardware powering this device. Fortunately, it turns out the Razer Phone is a bit of beast!

Here’s a rundown of the tech that makes the Razer Phone tick:
