Android is clunky and inconsistent for physical controls ; Razer Nexus software is full of irritating elements ; Lacks a kickstand

The Razer Edge shines as a top Android-based gaming handheld thanks to its strong local and cloud performance.

Powerful internals ensure fantastic performance in variety of games ; Colorful, fast AMOLED display looks and feels amazing ; Removable Kishi V2 Pro controller makes the Edge more versatile ; With effort and when it works, the virtual controller is great

Display aspect ratio, size, and corners result in wasted space ; Kishi V2 Pro absolutely decimates standby battery life ; Software experience is the bare minimum with the Razer Nexus app ; Only available in the US

The Razer Edge boasts powerful hardware and an impressive display to deliver a great gaming experience, but leans more toward the smartphone form factor than other handhelds. It's also held back by its minimal Razer Nexus software.
