Ever since the release of the Nintendo Switch, it seems that portable gaming devices have been making a comeback (to say nothing of gaming on your phone). The Razer Edge is one of them—a handheld device geared to Android users and Xbox players—and the wifi version of the tablet is currently $249.99 at Amazon after a $150 discount. (According to price-checking tools, this matches the lowest price it has ever reached.)
The Razer Edge came out in early 2023 to provide Android-based gaming on the go. According to PCMag’s “excellent” review, it is a powerful streaming handheld console that lets you play games from a cloud while using familiar physical buttons and joysticks or with just one hand, like a phone.
This is the Wi-Fi version of the Razer Edge, so you won’t be able to play cloud games or stream games into it unless you’re connected to wifi, but you can run games locally via the 128GB of storage (plus a micro SD card tray for extra storage). If you download the Steam Link app, you’ll be able to stream PC games as long as you’re near your computer.
The system runs on Android 12 and has a 6.8-inch OLED touchscreen with a 2,880 by 1,080 resolution and 144Hz refresh rate. The CPU is a Qualcomm Snapdragon G3x, and depending on your settings, you can get close to 11 hours of playtime off of a full charge.
The Razer Edge uses the same screen as the Razer Kishi V2, with some additional features. The controller is the Razer Kishi V2 Pro; you can play games using the touchscreen or with the controller (or both).
