Wow! The Razer Edge has just dropped to its lowest price ever in this last-minute Black Friday deal

Although it wasn’t the first to hit the market, the Razer Edge definitely made a splash as a dedicated Android gaming handheld. The excitement is gone, but that’s actually a good thing because for less than $215This is the cheapest we’ve ever seen, Razer’s first and only handheld.

The Razer Edge was announced with great excitement as it is essentially an Android tablet paired with the excellent Razer Kishi V2 Pro controller. Additionally, Razer also used a 6.8-inch AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate. Due to its unique design, this means you can actually swap out the controller if you’re not a fan of the V2 Pro or are just into the Kishi Ultra upgraded.

At the time, it was also one of the more powerful Android devices on the market, thanks to the Snapdragon G3X Gen 1, which was essentially a gaming-optimized version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. This gives you an all-in-one Android gaming handheld that still manages to outshine at least some of the competition.

The Edge’s original appeal was to provide a dedicated handheld that’s suitable for both cloud gaming and your favorite Android games. The only major competition was the Logitech G Cloud, which was significantly weaker despite better ergonomics.

Part of the problem for Razer was that the launch was somewhat botched by offering two versions: one with Wi-Fi and the other with cellular connectivity. When it was officially unveiled, Razer claimed that both models would feature the same specifications. However, it was later revealed that the Wi-Fi model actually had less RAM.

Not to mention the fact that the Wi-Fi version originally sold for $400, so you’re actually saving almost $200 on the Razer Edge. Although the price has hovered around the $250 mark for most of the year.
