As you can see, both phones have their merits. If you’re looking for a device with a good display, the Razer Phone takes the cake with a larger display size, higher resolution, and 120Hz UltraMotion screen. Other worthy features include the expandable storage, stereo front speakers for immersive audio, and a large battery which is essential for heavy mobile gamers.

The OnePlus 5, on the other hand, packs the most hardware with a tougher Gorilla Glass 5, higher camera resolution with EIS, newer Bluetooth 5.0, dual-SIM, and the inclusion of the 3.5mm audio jack. In addition, going for the 8GB RAM model will already get you 128GB of storage.

As for the pricing, the Razer Phone is on the expensive side at USD 699PHP 41,021INR 59,240EUR 666CNY 5,088 (~PHP36K). The OnePlus 5, which is officially available in the Philippines, is at Php28,990USD 494INR 41,879EUR 471CNY 3,598 (cash) for the 8GB + 128GB model. That said, the OnePlus 5 has the most advantage in the local market.

How about you guys? Which smartphone do you think is the best bang for the buck? Let us know in the comments below.

  1. boils down to needs and budget…

    gaming for extended periods puts a “heat” toll on these devices that kills batteries and creates a laggy game experience.

    I haven’t seen a phone yet that has proper heat dissipation without external accessories. thus, razer looks more appealing to me.

    other nice things are stock android and the 120hz screen refresh though i don’t know if we can take advantage of that. ie how often razer will update etc.

    one plus is great quality for a decent price but again, it boils down to your phone usage profile .

  2. DUDE, I think you dont know anything about gaming phone, I personally test OnePlus 5 for few mins of just basic games and it heats too fast. The good comparison I think is Note 8 vs Razer Phone, Note 8 is one of the the best gaming phone i ever used. LG G6, HTC U11, Xiomi Mi6, Iphone 6s, Sony XY premium, and Galaxy S8 these all phones heats up for two or three hours game continuesly. While Note 8 still calm and no issue.
