FULL STORY ======================================================================

Razer has launched its Steam Deck competitor 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 worlds first dedicated 5G handheld console.

The Razer Edge is powered by the Snapdragon G3x Gen 1 and features a 6.8-inch AMOLED display with 2,400 x 1,080 FHD+ resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate.
It also comes bundled with the Razer Kishi V2 Pro, which includes Razer's 'HyperSense' haptic feedback and a 3.5mm audio port. Its also compatible with Nvidia GeForce Now, including the recently-launched RTX 4080 Ultimate subscription tier , which we went hands-on with and found to be quite excellent.

Its 5G version is in partnership with Verizon and is sold both on its online store and in-store Verizon locations. Meanwhile, the WiFi version can be purchased through Razer stores and Razers 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 plenty of accolades at both events. This isnt the first time Razer has released a gaming tablet, either. Back in 2013, the company
launched a Windows 8-based gaming handheld also called the Razer Edge ,
though with a much heftier price tag.
