[3640.00 --> 3642.00] I don't think I've seen any reports of Note 8s having any issues.
[3642.00 --> 3648.00] Razer confirmed development of a gamer-oriented mobile device.
[3648.00 --> 3657.00] The company confirmed earlier this year a $15 million acquisition of all shares of mobile startup Nextbit, who had previously produced the Nextbit Robin smartphone.
[3657.00 --> 3659.00] And they cancelled it when they bought them.
[3659.00 --> 3660.00] Mm-hmm.
[3660.00 --> 3661.00] Okay.
[3661.00 --> 3665.00] Founded in Singapore, blah, blah, blah, blah, et cetera.
[3665.00 --> 3666.00] Wow, they really didn't...
[3666.00 --> 3667.00] There's not much to say about it.
[3667.00 --> 3668.00] Okay, so...
[3668.00 --> 3669.00] I want to speculate, though.
[3669.00 --> 3670.00] Sure, speculate.
[3670.00 --> 3673.00] What does it mean to make a gamer's phone?
[3673.00 --> 3674.00] Other than...
[3674.00 --> 3676.00] Black with green accents.
[3676.00 --> 3677.00] Definitely, that's a given.
[3677.00 --> 3680.00] Probably really boxy and lots of, like, angles on it.
[3680.00 --> 3681.00] Mm-hmm.
[3681.00 --> 3684.00] But aside from that, high refresh rate screen.
[3684.00 --> 3687.00] I would love to see a high refresh rate screen, but given that Razer...
[3687.00 --> 3688.00] That's a bare minimum.
[3688.00 --> 3693.00] Given that Razer still doesn't have a high refresh rate screen on the latest Blade, I wouldn't get my hopes up.
[3693.00 --> 3696.00] If an iPad Pro exists already...
[3696.00 --> 3698.00] And that review is still coming, by the way.
[3698.00 --> 3706.00] If an iPad Pro exists for a year before this gamer phone comes out, and one of the things gamers care about is high refresh rate screens,
[3706.00 --> 3711.00] if that already exists, and then this phone comes out and doesn't have that, lights out.
[3711.00 --> 3715.00] I don't think a lot of gamers know that they care about high refresh rate screens.
[3715.00 --> 3719.00] To be perfectly honest with you, like, our audience, I think, is more educated when it comes to that.
[3719.00 --> 3720.00] Console gamers don't.
[3720.00 --> 3723.00] Oh, get right, console gamers.
[3723.00 --> 3724.00] Console gamers?
[3724.00 --> 3725.00] Yeah, console gamers.
[3725.00 --> 3726.00] Like, I think...
[3726.00 --> 3727.00] Do you know what Razer is, though?
[3727.00 --> 3730.00] I think they think that 60 hertz is pretty good.
[3730.00 --> 3732.00] Well, if you're...
[3732.00 --> 3736.00] If everyone has the same hardware, it's like having a console.
[3736.00 --> 3739.00] The phone will be basically like a console, because everyone's using the same hardware.
[3739.00 --> 3741.00] So, they could lock the frame rate then, right?
[3741.00 --> 3744.00] I just mean, like, nobody's necessarily demanding this, right?
[3744.00 --> 3745.00] Or are they?
[3745.00 --> 3752.00] Because, as per another news item in here, the head of PlayStation was like, yeah, we're not doing mobile gaming anymore.
[3752.00 --> 3753.00] Yeah, I know.
[3753.00 --> 3754.00] Because smartphones.
[3754.00 --> 3758.00] So, they're still selling the Vita within...
[3758.00 --> 3759.00] What is it?
[3759.00 --> 3760.00] Japan?
[3760.00 --> 3761.00] I think, is that it?
[3761.00 --> 3763.00] I think it was like Japan and somewhere.
[3763.00 --> 3768.00] But yeah, Sony is basically like, yeah, nobody wants handhelds anymore.
[3768.00 --> 3773.00] We have not seen that as being a huge market opportunity outside of Japan and Asia.
[3773.00 --> 3775.00] You might say, what about the Switch?
[3775.00 --> 3776.00] But that's like a hybrid.
[3776.00 --> 3777.00] It's kind of like an exception.
[3777.00 --> 3780.00] I think they made market share for themselves.
[3780.00 --> 3781.00] Mm-hmm.
[3781.00 --> 3782.00] Because...
[3782.00 --> 3787.00] Well, yeah, because they made market share for mobile devices, because it replaced their TV console.
[3787.00 --> 3788.00] Mm.
[3788.00 --> 3789.00] So...
[3789.00 --> 3790.00] Yeah, exactly.
[3790.00 --> 3793.00] Yeah, no choice but to buy a mobile gaming console.
[3793.00 --> 3800.00] So, if you have a phone already for gaming, I kind of think that makes sense to have a gaming phone.
[3800.00 --> 3802.00] Yeah, but what is it?
[3802.00 --> 3804.00] Okay, so high refresh rate.
[3804.00 --> 3806.00] What else makes it gaming?
[3806.00 --> 3810.00] Maybe they'll just sacrifice, like, you won't care so much about camera.
[3810.00 --> 3814.00] They'll give you more room to have bigger, beefier components.
[3814.00 --> 3816.00] But the camera doesn't take up almost any room.
[3816.00 --> 3819.00] Like, it's all processing-driven these days anyway.
[3819.00 --> 3826.00] And, I would make the argument that if you're gonna try and sell me a gaming phone, if anything, it should have a better camera.
[3826.00 --> 3830.00] It should have a great front-facing camera so I can, like, stream mobile games or something.
[3830.00 --> 3831.00] Or, like, streaming?
[3831.00 --> 3832.00] Maybe it'll only have a front-facing camera.
[3832.00 --> 3833.00] Oh, lordy.
[3835.00 --> 3837.00] Maybe it'll have, like, a joystick.
[3837.00 --> 3838.00] People are like, battery life.
[3838.00 --> 3839.00] Okay.
[3839.00 --> 3845.00] If Razer came out and they were like, yep, it's a flagship class phone, it has, like, a 6,000 milliamp hour battery.
[3845.00 --> 3847.00] I'd be like, okay.
[3847.00 --> 3848.00] Sure.
[3848.00 --> 3856.00] Because now you can actually go and play your Clash of the Clans for, like, five, eight hours uninterrupted on a device.
[3856.00 --> 3857.00] Well, it'll probably be...
[3857.00 --> 3858.00] And I'm kidding.
[3858.00 --> 3859.00] I know it's Clash of Clans.
[3859.00 --> 3860.00] It'll probably be...
[3860.00 --> 3863.00] I would expect it to be, like, double thick.
[3863.00 --> 3870.00] Because under this, like, gaming moniker, you can get away with certain things that people don't normally allow in a normal phone.
[3870.00 --> 3873.00] It might be fat and have a huge battery.
[3875.00 --> 3876.00] Yeah, see, there it is, there it is.
[3876.00 --> 3877.00] There it is.
[3877.00 --> 3878.00] Clash of the Clans.
[3878.00 --> 3880.00] Oh, apparently it's dead, too.
[3880.00 --> 3882.00] I don't know.
[3882.00 --> 3883.00] That's the joke.
[3883.00 --> 3884.00] Um...
[3884.00 --> 3886.00] Grab of cash.
[3886.00 --> 3887.00] Oh, man.
[3887.00 --> 3895.00] I always know I can set these guys off with my outdated and, like, incorrect gaming references.
[3895.00 --> 3896.00] Anyway.
