2 weeks ago I decided to try the Razer phone. I enjoy playing games on PC with a high refresh rate monitor, so I thought I would also enjoy the 120hz display on the Razer phone, and it turns out that I love the 120hz display, even though I don't play games on my phone. I do however read a lot of news feeds, which look fantastic on this display. A couple of days ago, I tried to go back to my Galaxy s9+ for the HD voice, headphone jack, and the great AMOLED display, but I couldn't use it for more than a few minutes. The Razer phone has ruined for me, every other phone on the market. I don't know if I'll ever be able to go back to a 60hz display. Does anyone else feel the same, or have you been able to go back to a normal phone?

I hate the Razer Phone because now I can never go back to a flagship with a 60hz display, and I really wanted to try Pixel 3 when it comes out. Now I know that even if the Pixel 3 has the best camera, the best software experience and whatever else it might have, I don't think I'll be able to use it because it won't have at least a 90hz display.

Sorry to hijack your thread I've been interested in the Razerphone since it's release, How are they with updates and kernel source on time or am I hoping for too much?

I'm exactly the same, every other phone looks laggy compared... I will not be able to change my phone unless it also has a high refresh rate screen. It's the same with PC gaming though, going back to 60Hz is just awful and I have no idea how I used to do it :D

Same as me this phone has destroyed every other device with a 60hz refresh rate. Typing this in chrome on my iPod and the scrolling is unbearable now.

While i got mine as soon as it came out i didn't have any issues... until last week i went on a family trip and couldn't see **** on the screen because of the low brightness and LCD panel, while i love the front facing speakers, the finger print sensor location and the 120hz, i will probably get the ROG phone because of the OLED screen @ 90hz and the Front Facing Speakers, i really doubt The Razer Phone 2 will fix this issue.
