The Razer Phone 2 is finally receiving the Android Pie update. Those with an unlocked variant of the Razer Phone 2 should begin to receive the OTA notification as of February 27.
Since this phone runs mostly stock Android with minimal customizations, most of the changes and updates are those that come with the vanilla version of Android Pie. The gesture pill is now an alternative to the traditional nav bar.
In addition, the update brings Adaptive Battery features, new volume controls, a new power menu, access to the Digital Wellbeing app. As for video, the Razer Phone 2 will now support 4K recording at 60fps with the latest update.
