Razer Edge gaming handheld finally launches in both 5G and WiFi flavors
>
Razer has launched its Steam Deck handheld device, the Razer Edge, in two versions: the WiFi model and the 5G model. The Edge is an Android-based gaming handheld and, according to Razer, the world’s first dedicated 5G handheld console.”
The Razer Edge is powered by the Snapdragon G3x Gen 1 and has a 6.8-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 2,400 x 1,080 FHD+ and a refresh rate of 144 Hz. It also comes with the Razer Kishi V2 Pro, which includes Razer’s ‘HyperSense’ haptic feedback and a 3.5mm audio port. It is also compatible with Nvidia GeForce Now, including the recently launched one RTX 4080 Ultimate subscription tierthat we went to work and found to be quite excellent.
The 5G version is in partnership with Verizon and resold by both its online store and in-store Verizon locations. Meanwhile, the Wi-Fi version can be purchased through Razer stores and Razer’s online store for $399.99. The Edge is currently only available in the US.
Razer previously showcased the Razer Edge at RazerCon in 2022 and at CES 2023, receiving many accolades at both events. This isn’t the first time Razer has released a gaming tablet either. In 2013, the company launched a Windows 8 based gaming handheld, also known as the Razer Edge, but with a much higher price tag.
