Open it, and it clamps onto phones up to 7 inches, including larger models like the iPhone 17 Pro Max and Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra. Razer also says most cases should be able to stay on.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The feature set is still pretty packed. You get dual thumbsticks, a 4-way D-pad, face buttons, bumpers, triggers, and a Cortex Mobile shortcut. Razer also says the Prio uses <strong>capacitive contactless sticks<\/strong> to help cut down on wear and stick drift, along with quiet tactile buttons and USB-C power straight from your phone, so there\u2019s no battery inside and no Bluetooth pairing to deal with. It also supports cloud gaming and remote play through services like <a href=\"https:\/\/xbox-cloud-gaming.en.softonic.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Xbox Cloud Gaming<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/geforce-now.en.softonic.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\">GeForce Now<\/a>, PlayStation Remote Play, and Steam Link. Early coverage does point to one missing extra, though: there\u2019s no passthrough charging.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want a controller you can actually keep in your pocket and carry every day, the Razer Prio does look tempting. Still, the <strong>$99.99<\/strong> price tag, or AU$169.95 in Australia, isn\u2019t small, and the unanswered questions around hinge durability, along with <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/razer-edge-vs-steam-deck-some-of-the-key-differences-between-both-laptops\" rel=\"noopener\">cheaper rivals<\/a>, could make some people stop and think.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can buy the Razer Prio from Razer for iPhone and Android phones.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Razer has announced the Razer Prio, a foldable mobile gaming controller for iPhone and Android users who want something more pocket-friendly than Razer\u2019s bulkier Kishi-style pads.
