Razer Phone 2 is a powerful gaming beast that is meant for hardcore mobile gamers and was launched back in 2018. Earlier, we have documented a report that as per the Razer Phone support representative, that there is no exact date for the Android 10 release.

But, this report is from December 2019 and we are in the last month of Q1 2020. By the looks of it, there is no clarity regarding the compatibility of Razer Phone 2 with Android 10, let alone any fixed date for the release.
