At RazerCon, Razer officially unveiled the Razer Edge, a portable cloud gaming console. The console comes in 5G and Wi-Fi variants with a starting price of $1,400 (for the latter).

The Edge features a 6.8-inch AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate and Full HD+ (2400x1080) resolution. Razer claims the display has 87% more pixels than competing devices — for example, the Steam Deck's display has a resolution of 1280 x 800. The Edge Gorilla Glass touchscreen used has a polling rate of 288Hz.

The console runs on the Snapdragon G3x Gen 1 gaming platform, designed specifically for the Edge. The device is equipped with a 3GHz Kryo octa-core processor and Adreno GPU, as well as active cooling and six air vents.

The Edge received a 5000 mAh battery, 8 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. Two-way speakers with Verizon Adaptive Sound output, there are also two microphones. There is a webcam and the ability to stream while playing.

The Edge runs on Android 12 and features the new Razer Kishi V2 Pro controller, which features analog triggers, programmable buttons, and a responsive D-pad. The controller is equipped with HyperSense haptic feedback, and many will be happy with the 3.5mm headphone jack. Together, the main unit and controller weigh 400.8g.

The Edge console will initially only be available in the US. It comes preloaded with the Epic Games, Xbox Cloud Gaming, and NVIDIA GeForce Now launchers. You can also access Steam Link, Moonlight, and Parsec.

The Razer Edge communicates wirelessly over Wi-Fi 6E on the 6GHz channel with a bandwidth of several gigabytes. On the go, you can connect to cloud gaming services via 5G if you've purchased the appropriate model.

The 5G version of the Razer Edge is currently exclusive to Verizon. Its price and exact release date will be confirmed at a later date, but it’s expected to be in January – around the same time the Wi-Fi model launches. The latter will cost $400 and will be available on Razer’s website and in-store at RazerStore. The console can be pre-ordered with a refundable $5 deposit. Razer hasn’t announced pricing or availability for the Kishi V2 Pro standalone controller.

The Razer Edge console is the next in a series of portable devices focused on cloud gaming. The Logitech G Cloud Gaming handheld console, priced at US$$ 350, with more modest connectivity, will be available in the coming days. Last week, Google announced three Chromebooks from Acer, ASUS, and Lenovo that are also designed for game streaming.

The Edge was far from Razer's only announcement at RazerCon. Along with the Kraken Kitty V2 Pro wired headset (with interchangeable bunny, bear, and cat ears and Chroma RGB lighting) and a few other devices, the company showed off its Hammerhead HyperSpeed ​​headsets.
