The phone revived the trend of gaming-focused devices, paving the way for the likes of Asus ROG and Xiaomi Black Shark. One year later, Razer is ready with the successor — Razer Phone 2.

Razer has sent out invites for an event on October 10. The invite features the iconic three-headed snake branding which is also on the back of Razer Phone.

Razer Phone 2 is expected to be released in more markets unlike the original phone. The phone is likely to be released in India as well. Razer CEO Ming-Liang Tang earlier this year had announced that the gaming smartphone will be launched in India as well.

With more and new gaming devices launched in the last one year, a lot is expected from Razer Phone 2. It is almost given that Razer Phone 2 will deliver the best of processor and RAM combination. But there are going to be some major optimisations for gaming enthusiasts.
