Recently Razer showcased some of its hottest tech at its own 2022 RazerCon event. There was plenty of talk about upcoming Razer products and partnerships at this green energy powered con, but one was a bit different than what we expect to see from the brand.

Behind the screen you'll find the Snapdragon G3x chip designed specifically for mobile gaming. This is backed up by a 3GHz Kryo CPU with 8 cores, paired with an Adreno
