Over the last company of years, gaming peripheral company Razer tried to break into the gaming laptop market and now the company is gearing up to grab a slice of the mobile market.

The company just announced it will host its biggest unveiling to date on November 1 and a lot of people speculate this event will be about a smartphone.



The first hint is a photo of Razer founder Min-liang Tan with Tom Moss, the general manager of Razer's Mobile unit. Inside Tan's pants is a product with a green Razer logo, it could definitely be a phone. Tom Moss was the co-founder and CEO of Nextbit, a smartphone company that was bought by Razer in January 2017.



A firmer clue is a GFXBench profile that got spotted by Phone Radar. The listing shows a "Razer Phone" with Android "Razer Edition" 7.1.1. The device features the 10nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 octa-core processor with a frequency of 2.4GHz, the Adreno 540 GPU, and a 5.7" touchscreen with a 2560 x 1440 pixels resolution.

Other features include 8GB RAM, 64GB internal flash, a 12MP digicam, a 8MP front camera, Bluetooth, GPS, WiFi, NFC, an accelerometer, barometer, compass, gyroscope, and light sensor.

Take it with a grain of salt as the listing could be fake, but there are definitely a lot of clues here that we can expect a Razer smartphone on November 1.
