Razer has unveiled its new Android handheld cloud gaming device, the Razer Edge. Announcing the new product at the annual RazerCon, the console will run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon G3x Gen 1 Gaming Platform and packs 128 GB, expandable to 2 TB through a microSD slot.
The new device features a 6.8-inch (173-mm) AMOLED display with an HD+ resolution and a 144 Hz refresh rate. The software comes from the Android 12.
Users have the option of streaming cloud gaming titles through services such as Xbox Cloud Gaming or NVIDIA’s GeForce Now, or they can opt to play PC titles through their computer library or native Android games.

The WiFi edition is priced at $400 USD, while the price of the 5G model has yet to be revealed. Both versions will come bundled with the Razer Kishi V2 Pro controller featuring buttons, analog sticks and programmable haptics.
