Razer Edge: Review (Specs, Build, Controls, PS2 Gameplay demos, Pros and Cons)

This is my review of the Razer Edge after spending a good amount of time playing games (mostly PS1, PS2, PSP, Vita) on it. The Razer Edge is a Snapdragon G3X Gen 1-based handheld with a very nice AMOLED screen that originally retailed for $400. These days, it can be picked up for as little as $200 brand new (Newegg as of the date of this upload) up to about $250. This puts the Edge in direct competition with mid-end emulation handhelds like the various offerings from Anbernic and Retroid. So how does it do? Watch on for an exploration of the device, its quality, and its quirks.

Longer gameplay videos are available in my Razer Edge playlist for the games played in the gameplay segments.
