HARDWARE AND DESIGN I have to say; I really like the way this little console looks. The Razer Edge has two main components, a 6.8” OLED touchscreen tablet and the Kishi V2 Pro controller.

It feels solid in hand but not overly heavy. The matte black finish is sleek and a bit more subtle when compared to the RGB seen on other Razer products but looks fantastic.

GAMING PERFORMANCE The Snapdragon G3x chip is a solid performer and provides ample power for Android gaming. Titles like Genshin Impact and Call of Duty: Mobile run without any hiccups, even on the top graphical setting.

BATTERY LIFE Unlike devices like the ROG Ally, the Razer Edge has excellent battery life, especially for a gaming-focused device. I got around 8-9 hours of gaming time on a single charge.

SOFTWARE The Razer Edge runs a lightly customized version of Android 12, keeping the bloat to a minimum. The interface is clean and easy to use, with some of Razer’s signature green flair sprinkled throughout.
