Razer has been known to create premium gaming accessories. At $400, the Razer Edge is Razer’s first gaming handheld. The Razer Edge is actually made up of two parts – a tablet and the Kishi controllers and is powered by very decent hardware.

Pros

Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon G3x Gen 1 which is a flagship CPU.
Comes with a front facing camera although in the context of retro gaming, what is it used for?
The Razer Kishi controller is great and is detachable. It can be used for other phones.
Long lasting battery life.
Comes with a beautiful AMOLED screen with a 144 Hz refresh rate.

Cons

Not exactly a dedicated handheld gaming console. The same Razer Edge can be ‘achieved’ if you just buy the Razer Kishi controllers and attach your phone to it.
Bezels could have been thinner.
20:9 aspect ratio may result in a waste of screen space as it is not optimized for gaming. Most games will have thick black bars on both sides.
