Hey guys, I hope you enjoyed the video!😎 Here’s the global Price List: Midnight (12+256GB) = $649 / €649 / £579 Platinum (16+512GB) = $779 / €779 / £689 Aurora (16+512GB) = $799 / €799 / £709 What are your thoughts on the this powerhouse?🤔🔥
I use mobile mainly because for gaming. As this mobile has everything else need for gaming, i.e., gorgeous display, powerful chipset, a lot of ram and storage, 6000 mah battery with 65w charger , this mobile is just perfect for gamers and has a lot less price as compared to rog
Its such a pity the midnight black one has lower specs. I think its the best looking of the bunch. I really wish redmagic wouldn’t limit each color to a different set of specs
@@JRon1 The issue is more so the storage size. No MicroSD card slot to expand so the 512GB versions are a must for those that are going to be using the phone for emulation, with all the ROMS etc.
I've been dying for a phone like the razer phone 2 ever since razer discontinued the line, and now redmagic has answered my prayers, with a headphone jack even!
I'm using the Redmagic 8s pro (Aurora 16/512) and the best thing about this phone is that you can play games on a screen while playing ANOTHER game on the phone. REDMAGIC really made a beast phone 🥂
If I were in the place of gaming smartphone designers, I would have opted for a single photo sensor but quality with optical stabilization, instead of several very average sensors and not optimized. Also, I would have positioned the USB-C and jack ports on the left side edge, not to mention adding SD card support. But above all, for smartphones with full screen like this Redmagic 8s Pro, I would have opted for a pop-up selfie camera instead of a selfie camera under the screen. I think that, beyond gamers, it would have attracted any other types of consumers 🤷🏽♂️ Ps: I'm not a fan of Android Stock, but I would have opted for Android Stock "à la" Motorola or Asus, it's less complicated than developing an overlay that will not necessarily please everyone, And I would have simply put a physical or software button to activate the gaming mode where I would have all my gaming and other software options integrated.
A popup camera is not great for a gaming phone. Manage your expectations. A popup camera literally occupies a big space inside the phone which can be used for more copper cooling instead, not to mention the literal fan inside the phone. For it's prices, it's a great choice. Camera is literally not a priority of a GAMING PHONE.
@@zechariahdln9558 In truth, a gaming smartphone is not a priority in a market where "standard" smartphones have become just as powerful and stable in game as a gaming smartphone, being better by far on all the points that define a good smartphone 🤷🏽♂️ Buying a Steam Deck that will last much longer at $400-$500 + a smartphone like an iPhone 13, S22, Pixel 7 or OnePlus 11 that will be updated for 4-5 years instead of 2 years as on this Redmagic, is a much better investment.
----popup camera affects IP rating ----and instead of putting the USB-C and 3.5 mm port on the left side edge, they could have just put it on the side like the ASUS ROG Phone ----they could have centered the cames on the back panel, although I'm not sure how that will affect the cooling performance of the phone PERSONAL OPINION= I think gaming phones should be like a rog ally or a switch oled with a sim & android os with bypass charging feature and a big cooler
@@rolins3279 That's exactly it. Not everyone is the target market of gaming phones. So your literally cannot demand them to accommodate all your expectations. Lol.
Thanks for the review. The only gripe is not with the device, but your robotic deliver, with ups and downs like I am on a roller coaster. Maybe work on being more relatable and connecting with your audience. If you need some suggestions I can pass on others who provide reviews were they don't seem so robotic and monotone. Thanks for you video.
As a BIG FAN of RedMagic Gaming Smartphone Series, I'd definitely buy it. Unfortunately, I can't afford any of it at the moment. If you already have the previous version, I think you should wait for the next generation.
Hi, tanks for the video. It helped me a lot. At the end, you said that if It was our first time gaming phone It wasnt the best. So which one do you recommand in the same price ?
Ok so after searching for the best gaming phone why does asus rog always come up but not the red magic 8 pro? Please someone help me before I buy it from amazon
Hello, I got a question. I'm planning to buy this phone but the only thing that worries me is the fan vent as water or dust can get into the phone and might damage the chips. From the previous versions or for those who own this device, did something like this happen to you?
@@RamlyJerits Really powerful any 8 gen 2 phones can run aaa titles but the problem comes to devs and cooling these phones chips is so powerful and power efficient its more powerful than the steam deck
Id like to know the details about the headphone jack too, is it good for Hi Fi music?.. im probably still go with the s23 ultra because of the 1 TB and camera
Almost definitely no and in fact those usbc to 3.5mm dongles have actually been notorious on even pcs as a great and cheap audio improvement (assuming ur headphones are decent) over the inbuilt audio on even expensive pc's so I feel like if ur lugging around over ear headphones and a wire there's no point if u lose most of ur audio advantage to the jack itself which u will be. U won't with the dingle tho which is my point on both platforms especially phones where u have to use inbuilt audio with a jack on the phone itself.
Same..just thinking to get this for daily use, i don't want something that has bug caused by firmware / UI e.g Xiaomi. And i like it has SD8 gen 2 and 6k mah battery. (I'm not a phone gamer)
Take my word for it, the software and localizations are awful. Buggy and frustrating to deal with, not good as a daily driver for overall software experience
If you're not the target, I think it's not really worth to buy not to mention the long term usage, QoL, security/0S update, etc. In a gaming phones is awful. Today flagship has a good SoT even though it still less than gaming oriented phone. Still Had a better camera ofc and anything I say above.
still got my p30 pro and won't get any other phone but one of the redmagic since they are the only ones with anything interesting at the moment...plus affordable!
Waiting for redmagic 10 or possibly 11 for my upgrade as I currently have a rog phone 6D ultimate which was about a year ago one of the best gaming phones
Please, reviewers of phones, hdmi output resolution and fps, third party software access level (like resolution, fps etc) to the camera (as Tellus NDI etc) Noone seems to bother about these numbers but hey are highly relevant for ppl that uses the phone to capture sports events etc.
Agreed. For the price I would get a somewhat decent computer, but then I wouldn't be able to achieve the portability a phone brings. I usually do digital art and video editing on my phone. And my Redmi note 10 pro has been a great companion the past 2 years. But with the sheer power this phone brings, I'm pretty sure I can even start 3d modelling in 4k 😂
I like that you are getting all the essential things a device needs when purchasing compared to other big brands like Samsung and Apple I am happy to see that red magic didn't follow in their footsteps I was their customer until I have to pay more for less now I am switching over to Red magic because they are still including a charger they have an amazing design and the red magic 8s has pro has impressive performance for a gamer if red magic keeps this up I will know longer be going back to Apple or Samsung or any other brand for that matter.
The squared design makes it look so much better and more futuristic what. Why would you instead want the corners of your display cut off when uve gone through so much trouble to make sure a tiny punch hole isn't in the fitst place??? 😂 Also yes rounded corners literally cut off the actual display panel
i have a iphone 12 pro max is it worth to get a gaming phone. if you like to play games longer battery capacity etc. or to wait for redmagic 9 pro series is it worth the money.
I’m a 12 mini person and honestly I would go for the 8S pro because this phone is shit. However since you’re a 12 pro max user I’d say wait for 9 series as it’ll have a new powerful chip
Thanks for sharing and question I have, 1. on their site its written that it supports LTPO, 2. and someone mentioned that the back is some brushed metal not glass! can someone confirm on those two things?
This prevents the battery from being destroyed by heat, and I dislike the idea of having to hook up a massive cooler while gaming. I'm interested in phones with built-in cooling fans solely because of these reasons.
@@Dtcaner98im thinking of buying 1 and your comment helps me allot because i returned the rog 7 ultk because it overheated like crazy if you didnt use the external cooler, but how is the software on the redmagic 8s pro?
For years my nonnegotiables for a new phone were removable battery, expandable storage, and headphone jack. The fact that you went the whole review without showing the top or bottom of the phone is mind boggling. There are no pictures of the top or bottom on the website either. What are you trying to hide? It wasn't until twelve and a half minutes in that I learned it even HAD a headphone jack! Their own store doesn't say it has a headphone jack. It's enhanced in someway? How is that? Sacrificing wireless charging and two of my three needs is honestly a hard sell for me. I've been using a Samsung S10 plus for four years now and it is the model with 1tb of internal WITH expandable storage! My ancient phone has 2tb of storage space. How can phones almost 5 years later not match that yet?
Your only choice for removable battery is the Xcover Pro 2020 and Xcover6 Pro 2022, rugged non gaming/non consumer phone. Sd card slot is being restricted to below midrange by most (except Sony) and headphone jack is occasionally still used. Maybe bec they realized BT audio and gaming don't go well with each other. Flagship chipsets+sd card+jack will only limit you to Xperia 1/5 Marks ii/iii/iv/v models.
Would I be able to buy a unlocked model and take it to Verizon Wireless (in the U.S) and activate it there ? May sound like a dumb question I get it but hey maybe I'm dumb you do t know me ,LOL 😅😅😂😂 . But seriously I have the Samsung Galaxy S22Ultra but am looking g for perhaps a different phone experience and thus phone looks intriguing. I do like the SPen on the S22 whixh is why i have been with Samsung as long as i have been. I started with the Note 4 because of the SPen and never looked back even after the explosive(lol) controversy of the Note 7 a still stuck with them . But like I stated earlier in this unnecessary long comment(lol) this phone looks intriguing. And I like that is geared for the gaming and all the options it has for gaming . The rest of the phone seems like more common features and same level as other flagship devices but ... I digress I just want to know if I buy this phone unlocked can I activate it at Verizon Wireless (U.S) thanks folks
