Redmagic 9 Pro Review - Most Powerful Gaming Smartphone 2024? 

Here in the Philippines, RedMagic are nailing it with sales more than ROG Phones do. It's cheaper, and had so much to offer without breaking the bank. For those planning to buy ROG Phones here, beware of buying that overpriced sh1+. I was a former ROG phone user from 3 Strix, 5S and 6D. All of my ROG phones had motherboard issues just after several months of usage. I now am a happy user of RedMagic 8Pro for almost a year and loving it! RM9Pro is an even more BEAST!! UPDATES HUH? Most Rog phones are having bootloop issues after Asus releases a Major Update on ROG phones, goodluck with that. RedMagic might be slower on updates, but I encountered no major issues so far with every update. Aside from losing the Gallery app on my RM8Pro which can be fix easily lol.

I got this and it’s an amazing phone. i’ve seen some people say bad things about it, but they need to realize this is a gaming phone, not a camera phone or a underwater phone. It’s for gaming. It’s a bit expensive, but when compared to any other phone on the market, it’s cheaper and more powerful. It also comes with a really nice 80 W charger and the cord. That being said, there’s a cool fan on the back, which helps cool, the phone, but that also makes it completely vulnerable to water. I wouldn’t even have this in the bathroom while I’m showering.

Does it support either att or verizon?

Is this available on Canada market

Do you think the selfie camera is really necessary ? I really want to buy this smartphone but I worried about the face camera, i don't take selfies, but sometimes I need to

Nice to see a brighter future in the tech industry. First official released device with under display camera!

Chigz You are right: SLEET is the best design. Red Magic will have to upgrade SLEET to same or more memory next time.

When We will See Ugoos Am8 Pro Review ?

@Chigz Tech Reviews Do you know how many garanteed updates it will get? As I know it often is a problem with Redmagic... Probably only one or two, if the update policy is still the same as with older phones from Redmagic. Had the Redmagic 6S Pro before and there where way less updates compared to on the ROG Phones and especially less Android upgrades...

Finally someone points out the ir blaster on the top. 90% of people who review this phone don’t mention it. One of the most amazing features of this phone imo. Old but powerful tech.

Hi chigz.can you review budget phone like Poco x6 pro with powerful chipset...

Red Magic 9 has DTS:X, very good!

@Deadenne I agree, ROG Phones really have material and build quality issues... -> I have the ROG Phone 2; fell, and broke it's screen, even though having a good cover and good glass on top, but is still usable up to today. -> I have the ROG Phone 3; fell completely flat on the ground from about 1,5 meters. Doesn't function anymore at all, even if externally looks perfect; so broke something inside of it. (even the screen looks intact...) -> I have the ROG Phone 6D; fell from about 1 meter and broke its unlock (power on) button, even though the rest was functioning, by onlocking it with the finger sensor. Powered it down once and couldn't restart it anymore 😅 Now I sent it in to ASUS (in Germany, I hope the German RMA process is more reliable then the US one...) and asked them to exchange the battery, as it does only last 0,75 days, even though if using it less... I used it a lot, but after less then 1,5 hours owning it an aweful result... -> From a built quality standpoint Redmagic is way better, that is why I bought it. Also the extended 6500 mAh battery is way better then the shrinked 5500 mAh battery one of the ASUS ROG Phone 8 and 8 Pro. WHY ASUS ARE YOU SHRINKING BATTERIES!!!! -> I also like the built in active cooler, which the ROG Phone 8 doesn't have and is a big plus -> For camera, picture quality, sound and for it's system I would have tended to an ROG Phone 8, if it wouldn't have had a shrinked battery, a further increased price, and that terrible build quality... -> I just ordered this exact same Redmagic 8 Pro phone, and really hope Redmagic will fix the Netflix resolution. As I've seen the photos and videos are ok. Great the have OIS built in now. A real pity they didn't improve their selfie cam... As I am a streamer I will still be able to live with it I think. Luckily I don't do a lot of selfies and my wife has an Iphone which makes way better photos for on the go.

Good review on a nice phone 👍

why the trigger buttons are not physical buttons WHYYYY

Thanks for your great review always maybe one day soon I may get the money to buy some of this great phones it's really expensive here now. I still stock with my inginix note 7... But the ba3 is killing I have to charge every 2hours

Thx mate Chiz

if you want a high quality phone to be a little bit cheaper its ok for no hdr or netflix sd

What immediately gets my attention is that only Apple builds on 3nm but even then it can't hold up the speed of the competition. Imagine Mediatek and Qualcomm would also have build there latest on 3nm.

Does it support MetroPCS

Brilliant phone super fast

Pubg maximum frame rates increase when you drop the graphics just to let you know and now you should get up to 120fps

Is this phone is worth buying from canada if we want great camera and great Gamimg experience??

Nice i order one suppose to reach tomorrow CODM here i come 😂

The intake vent is worrisome. It might accumulate lints and dusts overtime.

@ChigzTech Just seen benchmark table list and Poco X6 pro at £234. Could you please refer to a link where it's possible to buy that device at that price? Thanks

This phone is insane I don't know if it's better than the s24 ultra

Will it last for 3 or 4 years cuz idk nothing about it

Yes 🎉🎉🎉❤

Does it have a micro sd card slot?

Cons: No Gallery App

Also found stickers vents to keep water and dust out on ali express

is this phone more powerfull then the Xiaomi 13 ?

If you want us to hear the fan, you have to stop talking and give us a chance to hear it lol

For sale brother my 6 months old pixel 7a is knackered mate 😄🤣🏆💚👊

Gift to me plz

I would have asked you to bless me with this phone ... I actually almost did until I hear its over 550k pounds that's whooping over a million naira in my country... Haaaaa

If only it folded.

Not even powerful 👎. It can't even handle Fortnite at 90fps only goes 60fps I know because I bought one and returned it for that reason. Rog 8 pro for Fortnite at least goes 90fps
