Razer Kishi V2, or how to turn your smartphone into a console
Mobile games are a multibillion-dollar industry in terms of both player volume and revenue generated. Playing with a smartphone has become a fairly widespread hobby, and with devices like this Razer Kishi V2, the gaming experience can be much more fulfilling, because it exactly corrects one of the phones' weak points in terms of gaming: the control interfaces.
And it is so evident that developers have made efforts to improve the touch control functionalities of their games to the point where even the biggest achievements in this area cannot be compared to the gaming experience provided by a physical controller.
Thus, we have the option of using Bluetooth controllers, although this is not always the best option, such as while going by public transportation.
As you might have guessed from the name, the Razer Kishi V2 is an evolution of the Razer Kishi. And the good news is that there are some substantial enhancements over its predecessor. New improvements that make it more comfortable and compatible with a wider range of Android smartphones.
This Razer Kishi V2 is more ergonomic in the hands, and the switch from a rubber bridge to a stiff and telescopic bridge creates a more solid feeling, which is matched by the fact that it can now accommodate larger devices.
Another interesting difference between the Razer Kishi V2 and its predecessor is the inclusion of the Razer Nexus app, which we can access directly from a button on the device and which provides direct access to the main online gaming platforms, as well as downloads of the games that we can use with the command. Furthermore, especially with content makers in mind, it enables direct transmission to numerous platforms.
The Razer Kishi V2's most intriguing new feature is the two new multifunction buttons, which are situated adjacent to the triggers and bumpers and will let us assign individual actions for each game. All of these controls have a solid initial feel to them.
In terms of compatibility, this version is... universal... for Android. However, the business has revealed that it is already working on a Razer Kishi V2 for iOS, which will be available later this year. Razer has given a list of supported devices:
Samsung Galaxy S8 / S8+ / S9 / S9+ / S10 / S10+ / S20 Series / S21 Series / Note 8 / Note 9 / Note 10 / Note 10+, Google Pixel 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6, and many more ...
According to this list, Razer wants to emphasize compatibility, extending the reach of the Razer Kishi V2 much beyond that of its predecessor.
