thanks for going into detail with every option. i had the 8 Pro last year but had to get rid of it cuz of the software. looks much better now so im reconsidering cuz i miss that huge screen with no hole punch and those triggers. also side note i really appreciate you for being you. it was like hanging out with a friend. so down to earth man keep being awesome ! ♡
Getting more and more convinced to upgrade from my S10+, I had lots of doubts from other RedMagic OS reviews but this is SO extensive and exactly what I'm looking for, 99% of the reviews show the looks of the phone and the specs but nothing about the OS, Keep this up!
What is the "Plus"? Their website has no mention of a "plus" model. It just says "RedMagic 9 Pro". Are you referring to the Snowfall or Cyclone models that have 512gb of storage? The only + I see in the listing is: 12GB+256GB / Sleet 16GB+512GB / Cyclone 16GB+512GB / Snowfall
The plus is the Chinese variant, you can get it from giztop.com they don't sell this variant globally, you can get the 24 gig model with a TB of storage on there
As far as the RGB lights, you can change the colors and how the lights flicker, and assign each color to different phone states, notifications and activities that occur throughout the use of the device. The fan light color can also be changed as well.
This actually looks a lot like the MIUI experience, without the annoyances of their official ROMs. I like it, I don't feel like I'd need a custom ROM or anything for this device.
@@TechReviewTom- It's amazing how many of these same features you see in MIUI too! Even that Ultra Battery Saver, the customization for Boot, OSD, Notification, all the complete Themes, Super Wallpapers, App Duplicator, Floating App Windows, individual Per-App Volume Control (which I think came with Android 13) is all pretty cool. Even the settings page layout is very similar. For those coming from a Xiaomi device this will feel like home pretty quickly.
Very nice breakdown and review. Thats a sweet phone with tons of kool features. Very few gaming phones get me excited today have you tried those trigger controls with any emu's? Would like to know how those respond.
Thanks bro!! That means a ton!! Also you can map them to whatever on screen touch buttons there are. They are super useful for games like resident evil 4 in the PS2. Keep out the emulator video I have my dude! What games do you want to see?
@@TechReviewTom if we talking PS2 emu I want to see armored core 3. I can't get it to run very well. Also dynasty warriors 5. If you can do a long vid play through of both of these games for about 20min each. And give battery and performance results I would be grateful
Nit brightness is important if you plan to use the device outdoors a lot, if you compare it with a higher nit screen outside during daylight you'll understand.
Absolutely great review! Detailed and informative. I currently have the global version of RedMagic 9 Pro - it's amazing, other than two annoyances: The Global ROM does not currently have the theme store, so I can't change the system fonts. Netflix contents can only be streamed in SD and no HDR, even though the phone supports it. Hopefully future updates will fix these issues.
No problem bro!! Glad you dig the review! Lmk what else you want to see! I have an emulator, gaming, warzone mobile gameplay, charging video, and a battery draining video!
@@TechReviewTom ❤that's will be to much for me but i can't wait to see because no tech Channel dig that much in the spices,software bugs,emulators hope you the best
@mohmmedsuliman128 thanks bro!! Actually someone who's better than me for processors specifically is geekerwan, flossycarter is awesome too man he gets like every phone !
Thanks for the FULL review. I have a quick question , is the console mode be able to add youtube or or some other non-game apps ? Also , is it able to recod audio during a phone call automatically ?
Hello Tom, which power supply is compatible for fast charging? I live in Germany and can't find a fast charger. Can you please tell me which universal is compatible?
Yes thanks u Sir @ TECH REVIEWS TOM, For reviews it and explain it About really High class quality technology ingenired Smarts Gaming phone RED MAGIC 9 PRO PLUS.Yes really Superior Really Powerful and really good Style's DISIGNED.Yes Really I'm respects it .Yes really my favorites dreamed targeted to I'm buys it.(P/S: yes to SIR TECH REVIEWS TOM.WHEN'S THE GAMING SMARTS PHONE RED MAGIC 9 PRO PLUS WILL BE TO SELL IT IN TO MALAYSIAN MARKET'S???.)💯🤩🌹🤑✌️🙋👏💥💪👍
Is there any way to unscrew the vent for cleaning? I feel like that will play a big factor in the overall life expectancy of the phone, if that clogs up with dust and overheats your phone.
Hello! I just wanted to ask on whether you think the base model with 12gb of ram would be enough to run graphic intensive games like genshin impact at a consistent 60fps with highest settings, or if it's not enough and the 16gb ram model is actually needed for that. Thank you so much for the crazy in-depth review!
Hey man I think 12 should be good for genshin impact 16/24 comes in handy with games that are normally emulated (at top settings) or desktop crossovers like fortnite or RuneScape! Thanks for the compliment brah!
You should bring red Magic 9 tutorials to unlock the bootloader, put twrp recovery and root the cell phone..... it would be a new facet for the channel and it would surely be a big change
I think the vertical orientation is why it seems like one is louder than the other. They are both the same. It also depends on what direction the audio your playing sounds like it's coming from
Bro, thanks for the whole review it was very helpful... Basically they put MIUI in their phones but with less features. The customization is almost the same on Xiaomi phones. But i missed two functions that i use a lot. Floating apps and Duplicated apps That was my comment before an hour I just hopping this features to be in the global version, im buying it ASAP Being able to root or not is almost stopping me Prays and thanks!
@@TechReviewTom yep! I realized after an hour that the option is there 🙏 now my concerns are if those are available in global and rooting... Because im thinking on use it as my daily drive skipping the gaming features a bit anyways, thanks for your answer and the whole review 👌 Merry Christmas!!
@unpatitoRU Merry Christmas to you too bro!!!! Check out the z60 ultra, it's the same phone without gaming features and a greater focus on the camera! The OnePlus 12 is a great choice too bro!
Hello, first of all thank you for all the work on your channel, I believe you have the best reviews on this brand on youtube. I have a question about the chinese version of the phone. I want the matte version of the phone with the 512 memory which i believe is only available in the chinese version. How good is the english translation in the phone? I notice sometimes some chinese will pop up here and there how bad/frequent is it?
It's just really noticable in the default applications but j uninstall basically all of them and then just download Google versions. I also just freeze the apps I can't remove via install. When you get it the keyboard will be super weird but basically you just have to go to the Play store and download Gboard and you're good to go. Snag it from giztop.com I got mine there. you should get the 24/1tb if you can bro the space and extra ram is insane.
Is it bad that i want this phone purely for the screen, also not having camera bumps in the back, also a headphone jack!? I don't even play games on my phone other than SimCity or subway surfers💀
Not at all bro its a great device and it looks clean, get the pro version or even the 12 gigs of ram version for cheap because you will get the same great external features!
If this phone was a little bit smaller, like...6.3 inch instead of 6.8, it will be the perfect smartphone in the world right now! It is, but tooo darn big!
The screen to body ratio is pretty slim so it's really not too horrible. It is a big phone though that's for sure. It's kind of worth it in my opinion man.
does nova launcher work fine? by that i mean if you set it, the phone stays with nova & nova only or is it like OS 6 where it keeps switching back to the default launcher? the way to test this is to press back on some apps to direct yourself to homescreen. if it reverts to nova consistently everytime then it's fine
You mentioned this phone doesn’t get updated as much as a Chinese models? Is that a bad thing? If I’m buying the phone for daily use but mainly Cod mobile will I be fine?
Yeah bro you'll be good I have the Chinese version. The phone is great bro they still make sure the phone gets updated you will probably get 5 realistically.
Ur good brah, I think the 24 is paired with 1 tb, but yeah it is bc less ram on the 16/512 vs 24/1tb. It's not bad by any means but get the best if you can! Console games are creeping over to mobile and you wanna have something future proofed
@@TechReviewTom Appreciate the reply back, even though the red magic 9 pro plus has 1,000mah less than the red magic 9 pro, do you think the red magic 9 pro plus is a better purchase?
@erickgomez6926 I think it's better because of the ram being capable of 24 lpddr5x and 8 extended ram. 32 gigs is unreal. You can also get a terabite and you get a 165 watt charger. I'd get the Chinese pro plus model on giztop, you can get the same model I did bro. It's worth losing the mah for a better speced phone.
Hy bro i bought my Red magic 9s pro The device is really good But i am feeling like having a loose volume button which makes a click sound when we shake Is it normal in 9pro ?
I'm actually planning to buy this phone but I think it's a good idea to wait to the 10 version. because I think they going to add something special to it I'm sure is going to be is the 10 version after all.
@@TechReviewTomagreed I'm so excited for the 10 version. These are the things that I wish they are going to add 1. extra fan 2. auto close and open vent when playing games I wish it was the second one they add that would be insane.
Dude yes I agree, a second fan would be fan-tastic (heh) lol. Also yeah an ability to press a button that mechanically covers the vents would be so sick.
Is there any way you can show me the power menu? On my phone it allows you to use Google home shortcuts. Is that a thing when you hold the power button on this OS?
@@TechReviewTom I purchased the Chinese version of the 8 in the past and couldn't use 3rd party launchers, lawnchair or Nova launcher. Can you make a video of you using either one of those launcher's?
i'm going to get the redmagic 9 pro device with the 6500 mah battery capacity. and when the phone is available globally. and i also want to get the sliver color option. and i play a lot of games on the phone and a lot of storage.
Dude that sounds like a plan, the 6500 will last a long time. Mines 5500 so yours will last much longer! The silver is cool bro if they had it I probably would have picked it! The transparent back looks awesome
ok thxs and i'm waiting on monday morning to see the pricing. for the redmagic 9 pro on the official website. and if i have enough money saved up to get the phone.
@@TechReviewTom OMG you are kidding?! xd I watched 1:20h video to find out how many features is missing in global rom and you just telling me its the chinnese one.
@@TechReviewTom thank u , the previous phone redmagic 8 didn’t have it so i was wondering if this has it , I’ll probably buy one now .. Again thank u 🙏🏻
I record on my s24 ultra, I had my brothers iPhone 11 that I used to record videos. I'm not sure what an available camera has to do with you thinking I like apple more than android lol. It's a good phone though and I think so, it works well with T-Mobile! Go for it if you get the chance!
@@TechReviewTom i did i cannot stand apple and how shitty their UI is.. its just a horrible experience, and its not as advanced. android does sooo much more. im a Windows/Android guy... but at least I tried apple
