Rumours of a Razer phone go back several months, with Bloomberg in July reporting the company was eyeing an IPO (initial public offering) to fund a phone.
Razer is known for its gaming mice, keyboards, headsets, and more recently, its super slick Blade laptops . It's no small fry, the company valued in 2015 at over $1 billion.
A phone wouldn't be the first time the company has dabbled in portable devices. In 2013 it released its own tablet, the Razer Edge , which unlike other tablets , was designed for PC gaming, powered by an Nvidia graphics card. Who knows, maybe Razer will even cram a graphics card into a mobile phone. It'd differentiate it from Samsung's Galaxy Note 8 , the newly announced Google Pixel 2 and Apple 's iPhones .
Is it possible? Would you want a Razer phone? We'll soon find out.
