TECH NEWS – Verizon has finally unveiled the price, specs and release date for the highly anticipated Razer Edge 5G, its latest handheld gaming console.

 

 

Verizon has unveiled the pricing and release date for the Razer Edge 5G, the world’s first dedicated 5G handheld console. The device is designed to enable a seamless cloud gaming experience while leveraging the powerful capabilities of the 5G Ultra Wideband network. The company is working hard to promote the console with various promotions and discounts.

Cloud gaming on handheld consoles is becoming increasingly popular worldwide. The Nintendo Switch introduced the world to higher performance; Steam Deck is trying to capitalise on this while competitors are already waking up.

The Verizon Razer Edge 5G allows gamers to download games from Google Play or even stream games directly from their PC or console. The company is also offering a limited-time offer, where fans can get the Razer Edge 5G for just $359.99 ($10/month for 36 months at 0% APR) when they purchase a new set of tablets. The console retails for $599.99. The Razer Edge 5G will be released on January 26 and will be available exclusively at Verizon. Razer is a company known for making cutting-edge gaming technology. That’s why many are excited about this collaboration.

 

The full specifications of the console are as follows:

• Verizon 5G Ultra Wideband, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity
• Snapdragon G3x Gen 1 Gaming Platform
• 6.8” FHD+ 2400×1080 AMOLED 144Hz display
• Razer Kishi Pro 2 controller
• Two-way speakers with Verizon Adaptive Sound, 2 digital mics
• 5000mAh battery
• 8GB memory
• 128GB storage

 

Another deal Verizon offers is that if gamers buy a new 5G smartphone, they can get the Razer Edge 5G for just $179.99, or $5/month for 36 months with 0% APR. The Razer Edge 5G isn’t as powerful as the Steam Deck or the brutal AOKZOE A1. But it does offer the possibility of seamless gaming on a fast 5G network. All this takes gaming on the move to another level.

Amid the announcement of a collaboration between Qualcomm and Square Enix to bring to life augmented and mixed reality experiences that can be placed on the head, Verizon is teaming up with Qualcomm here to get a new competitor to the handheld gaming console market.

Gaming on the go is an increasingly popular style of video gaming. Many gamers worldwide appreciate the ability to play their favourite games anywhere. Instead of being tethered to a computer or television screen.

As the handheld console war continues, Verizon will bring the Razer Edge 5G to consumers on January 26, for a retail price of $599.99, excluding the aforementioned discounts.
