The Razer Phone 3 prototype reveals why this handset was canceled

However, unlike the latecomers, Razer was unable to continue what it started and stopped the game after launching the Razer Phone 2 in 2018. Although Razer blames the uncertainties in the development process. 5G network release is the cause of the gloomy fate of the Razer Phone 3, but a recently revealed prototype of the handset reveals the bigger issues facing the company.

Needless to say, we can’t be sure whether the Razer Phone that just popped up on China’s Taobao market is a prototype of the Razer Phone 3. Assuming the Razer logo on the back of the device is genuine, the slight design differences indicate that it is neither the original Razer Phone nor the Razer Phone 2.

The prototype is said to be the Razer Phone 3

For example, this Razer Phone has a triple-lens camera cluster that the first two generations didn’t. Perhaps it was designed before Google and Apple came up with the idea of ​​a square-shaped camera cluster on the Pixel and iPhone launched in late 2019. This camera cluster either shows the age of the phone, or Evidence that Razer is not very excited about the recent trends.

However, apart from that, none of the features on this phone really stand out. The screen bezel is thinner than ever, but still available, especially above and below the screen. It certainly bears the design language that Razer inherited from Nextbit Robin, a design that is more than 4 years old today.

If indeed the Razer Phone 3 is only that much, it partly shows that Razer has run out of design ideas. Perhaps the company has deliberately clung to something that consumers can easily recognize as a Razer Phone, just like the iPhone design has not changed much over the years – ironically. , that can “hit him with his back”, making the Razer Phone 3 no longer appealing to the target audience: gamers, who always like new and impressive things.
