Thoughts on gaming phones like the Razer one?

Yeah, it is hellishly expensive... I think I'd rather go with a higher performing Samsung or LG device...
I know a few models that I'm gonna look at, but are there any specific ones that really stand out with 3D performance? I think most games on mobile are OpenGL or something similar?

I've been saving for a while for a new phone, and maybe it's time to upgrade? Especially with the new PUBG and Fortnite mobile games. They drop frames left and right on my current phone...
Ever since Linus and other YouTubers did reviews on the thing, it's kept my curiosity relatively high, but with it being such a new thing for phones to be gaming-centric(I mean that in the way that Razer, an almost completely gaming-centric company is focusing on them now)...Is it just another fad that'll fade away in no time?

So would it be worth investing in a new "gaming phone"?
I feel like this might be one of those "gaming glasses" things, where they really are just normal phones, but plastered with "gaming" so they're somehow better (and far more expensive)

Thoughts on investing in it? Do I wait for new 'gaming' centric phones, or just buy higher powered ones?

An absolute garbage idea. Gaming on the phone is already moronic enough since there is no tactile feedback and even the Razer Phone's screen is absolutely tiny.

Now many budget smartphones are pulling complex games at maximum settings so I think that such gaming smartphones will not be in demand

I'm not sure if the battery is good, anyone got one of these?

Gaming phones are just cringe. On most games the controls are almost impossible and the screens are too small. Waste of money in my opinion.
