Another Android-based cloud gaming handheld has entered the fray. Following the reveal of Logitech's G Cloud Handheld, Razer has given more details on its previously teased portable device, now called the Razer Edge. It offers a 6.8 inch 144Hz 2400x1080 AMOLED display, with a 3Ghx Snapdragon G3x CPU, and looks like a tablet that is docked into the Razer Kishi Pro V2 controller. Razer is marketing the Edge as a primarily cloud-based gaming handheld, and while it'll initially launch with only a WiFi version, a 5G version will be available, with further details to come at a later date. The WiFi version of the Edge will retail for $399.99, and will launch in early 2023.

Seems like a good deal for something between with more punch than your standard Android console but less bulk than a Steam deck, pretty cool.

If people really want it, they can just get a mid/top end Xiaomi phone and a gamepad, for the same specs with more utility.
At least this has some decent specs for the price, unlike that daylight robbery Logitech launched.

I see two issues with this.

1) It's Razer. Fuck Razer.
2) Cloud gaming.

Back in like 2017 I dropped ~$2300 on a high end Razer Blade laptop because I needed something powerful for work, and I thought it looked cool. After a year of light use, the motherboard just died. I barely even used it.

If that's the quality you can expect from their high-end stuff, I don't want to see what something in this price range is like.

Fuck Razer.

On a related note.. Why are we pushing "cloud gaming" devices now? It's really weird to advertise this with the impression that it's only good for one thing. Which can't be right. It's an android device, which means you should be able to play games directly on the device. It having cloud gaming apps should be a secondary selling point.

Every normal person right now:

This is a console probably aiming for emulation. Being a big name on the west they probably just don't want to say that out loud. This seems to be aim to compete with the Retroids, Ayns, Anbernics, etc. of this world.

The problem is, in a world where Steam Deck exists at the price point it is sold, and furthermore being now sold without waiting lists - and Retroid Pocket 2+ and 3 at their price points, it is kinda hard to justify such a device at this price.

Too expensive

seems like it. they rather just make cloud devices instead of spending more money towards manufacturing a better, more powerful device.

Geforce Now actually supports 120hz and has the graphics cards to push it. Whether you have the internet for that is another matter.

This thing is also strong enough to run demanding Android games, although I don't think too many of them even allow 120hz+ precisely because they are demanding.

400$
Nah, I am good, I already have a phone that does cloud gaming

 

[Veho]

The gamepad is detachable, looks like. It's a phone/tablet with a gamepad bundled in. The "cLOud GAMiNg HANDhElD" spiel is just marketing.

Remind me of Razer Jungle Cat controller with specific case for few phones out there.

 

[HarveyHouston]

I wonder if this could be modded to do something other than cloud gaming...

 

[Hayato213]

Seem like they are reusing the name lol, man they are lazy

 

[Bladexdsl]
