All the Specs You Need to Know
Available in a wifi-only version or an upgraded model with 5G that facilitates gaming almost anywhere, the Razer Edge runs Android. Thanks to the Snapdragon G3x Gen 1 Gaming Platform under the hood, it can easily natively play mobile games like Fortnite. But it’s the support for playing AAA titles through game-streaming services like Xbox Cloud Gaming and Nvidia GeForce Now, or remote PC play through apps like Steam Link, that are the biggest appeal of the Edge.
It features a 6.8-inch AMOLED display with a refresh rate maxing out at 144Hz and a resolution of 2400×1080. That’s a bit smaller than the Steam Deck’s seven-inch, 1280×800 screen, but with more resolution and pixel density. The Edge also packs a 5000mAh rechargeable battery, which sits somewhere between the Steam Deck’s larger and the Switch’s smaller batteries. Razer is promising “hours of gaming” on a charge, but actual battery life will vary based on the types of games being played and whether the handheld is dependent on a wifi or 5G connection.
The Razer Edge also has a physical headphone jack and a front-facing camera, allowing gamers to stream themselves playing without the need for additional hardware.
