Razer cancels Razer Phone 3 and fires.

Razer's competition and possibly unreasonably high expectations did not allow its gaming phones to reach the status quo they could.

ΤThe two mobile phones of the company also had to deal with models from big manufacturers.

Apparently the Razer Phone and Razer Phone 2 did not reach the expected sales, which forced the company to take action. Instead of announcing its third smartphone, Razer has decided to lay off most of its mobile staff, according to Droid-life.

The Razer Phone 3 has been canceled and any remaining employees will be transferred to other parts of the company. The official announcement of the company confirms that 30 employees were fired (2% of the total) as part of the reorganization.

"Razer has made changes to reorganize our company and strengthen the road to growth. We will focus on our core projects and improve our profitability. As part of this reorganization, we closed several projects and unfortunately had to part ways with about 30 employees (about 2% of our staff). The remaining employees of the affected projects will be transferred to other Razer divisions to work on key Razer programs that will continue to grow. ”

The production of smartphones is expensive, but the production of "flagships" is even more expensive, which means that the risk is greater. If they fail to sell the devices, then it is expected that a lot of money will be lost. Somehow it seems that Razer did not calculate correctly how it could sell this device. At the time the Razer Phone 2 was announced, this course was prescribed, as the second device looked very similar to the first and failed to impress anyone.
