Razer Phone vs Samsung Galaxy S8

by Arvin Apsen Cell phone repair parts

The Samsung Galaxy S8 is quite possibly the most high-profile Android iPhone 8 Plus parts of 2017 and the one against which all other flagships must be judged, so we’ve put it head to head with the new Razer Phone.

This is a phone from a company new to handsets, but it’s got a lot going for it, including plenty of power, impressive speakers, a big battery and a promising screen.

Of course, the Samsung Galaxy S8 has a lot going for it too, enough for it to currently be sitting at number one on our best phones list, so can the Razer Phone really compete?

Razer Phone vs Samsung Galaxy S8 design

One area where the Razer Phone probably can’t compete is design. This is, of course, a largely subjective thing, but we can’t imagine its blocky, angular look will impress too many people, especially given the mostly plain black color scheme.

The Razer Phone comes in at 158.5 x 77.7 x 8mm and 197g, so it’s not small or light, and it has big bezels above and below the screen, though these are put to good use, as they hold the dual front-facing speakers, which are big and powerful by iPhone 8 Plus spare parts standards.

The back of the Razer Phone is mostly plain, other than Razer’s snake logo in black and white, and on the side you’ll find the power button and fingerprint scanner.

The Samsung Galaxy S8 has a completely different look, with tiny bezels above and below the display, a curved screen (the Razer Phone’s is flat), a metal frame and a slightly curved glass back.

At 148.9 x 68.1 x 8mm and 155g it’s also smaller and lighter than the Razer Phone, though its fingerprint scanner is on the back, which is an arguably less ideal position, and its single bottom-firing speaker can’t compete.
