8 Comments on Razer Nexus 3.0 Turbocharges Mobile Gaming on Android and iOS
My keyboard fails to start 1 out of 3 times I boot the PC because one of their gazzilion of services fail to start. Services designed to monetize by spying you.
You have been warned.
They missed the most important thing that those device should have in order to do mobile gaming... a FAN.
Basically another company really disconnected from reality... did they even ever tried to game on their own? Even SONY has a gaming oriented cover with a FAN... because any phone throttles hard after few minutes of serious gaming.
Back to the drawing board. Another plastic waste product in the world.
Given how phones are built with either plastic or glass I'm not sure a fan would make much difference, if the phones throtles it's more a problem of the phone so let it.
I think the biggest missed opportunity is not adding a battery to the device, they could easily double the phone capacity, of course that would also include more heat as well but for streaming or light games it'd be ok
