Razer phone could be launched in september, perherps alongside linda
It was announced and released two months ago, in November 2017, the Razer Phone might get a successor sooner than we'd expect. According to French website FrAndroid (usually a reliable source), a well-informed insider has it that a second generation Razer handset, possibly called Razer Phone 2, should be released in September 2018 - less than one year after the original model.
The Razer Phone 2 will reportedly be released in September, which means an official unveiling at IFA seems likely. This information allegedly comes from "an internal source", but since it's just an unconfirmed rumor for now don't forget to take it with a pinch of salt.
Interestingly, FrAndroid notes that the Razer Phone 2 might be launched at the same time with a commercial version of Project Linda (pictured above), though the folks at Razer haven't made a final decision on this yet. First showcased at CES 2018 earlier this month, Project Linda is a 13.3-inch laptop that uses the Razer Phone as its brains and touchpad, while featuring an extra battery and extra storage space. The phone can be easily docked into the laptop to create a hybrid mobile device for a superior gaming experience and enhanced productivity.
Just a few days ago, Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan has hinted in a Twitter reply to Marques Brownlee (of MKBHD fame) that Linda appearing on the market is a real possibility. The laptop dock concept was put together in 2-3 months, and the design work only took about one of those months. The general format of the Razer Blade Stealth was used and Razer collaborated with Sentio on the software, since that's a company specializing in turning Android smartphones into laptops.

Daaaaaamn that would be cool if done right. Not sure how it would work if you wanted to use the laptop without the phone though. What would you use as the trackpad?

For a few years running now, Razer has shown off a piece of prototype technology at the Consumer Electronics Show in an attempt to stand out. This year, the company has unveiled Project Linda, which looks like a PC laptop but acts as a dock for the Razer Phone that turns the mobile device into what's a essentially an Android-based laptop.
Project Linda takes on a form similar to the Razer Blade Stealth laptop, but replaces the trackpad with a docking port that connects to the Razer Phone via USB-C. The phone's screen is mirrored on Project Linda's display and the phone itself becomes the trackpad. In certain games, the phone can be used as a secondary screen and work like a companion app.
While the Razer Phone has a 1440p 120 Hz display, Project Linda (in its current form) is only equipped with a 13.3-inch 1080p 60 Hz screen, although Razer said it plans on matching the two devices' resolutions and refresh rates in a new iteration of Project Linda.

All the processing power comes from the phone, which consists of a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chip and 8 GB of RAM running on Android. he only internals in Project Linda are a lithium-ion battery and 200 GB solid-state storage drive. At full capacity, the laptop battery is said to fully charge the Razer Phone three times over. The keyboard has full functionality on Android and features Chroma RGB backlighting. A 3.5mm audio jack and one USB 3.0 are built in as well, and you can connect mice via USB.
