[@DanielDctorQROPSvanNiekerk]

Yep same, had a Global OnePlus 7T Pro brand new, then battery got very hot after 2 years. Replaced battery, but I think it's a charging regulator issue. I then got my 1st 7T Pro McLaren, for the extra RAM and well...the snazzy branding and all! Anyway, once you go no-selfie camera notch, there's NO going back...at least not for me! Because end of life updates stopping at Android 12 for the OnePlus 7 Series, I thought to go OP 10 pro. But hey, it ended up lying in my drawer cloned to be exactly like I had my 7T Pro...but man, that BLACK HOLE stealing screen real estate...I just can't get over it...sorry. I got my Wife a 7 Pro 2 years ago and my two sons both have OP 7 Pro's that I got for them. All Amazon refurbished, so got them just about AS NEW for under $300, and just added warp charge bricks and cables to replace the generic nonsense they usually send with refurbished goods. So, here I am STILL using my McLaren, with an Amazon refurbished McLaren and brand new original McLaren cover as a backup in case anything goes wrong. You know how it is when you buy a really good pair of shoes or t-shirt or whatever, that your REALLY like, and then eventually it gets worn out later? So many times I then wished I had ANOTHER pair of the same shoes, or an exact replacement! Hahaha, so I got a backup McLaren as well, just in case. Its simply one of the best phones I've EVER had, and it's still as nippy as anything !! I'm NOT a pro gamer, but I do love decent gadgets that can take the abuse and pressure with heavy design apps and video editing tools etc. I for instance have a Razer Blade 15 lap top, love it...metal chassis...just really a SOLID thing! Back then my McLaren was the talk of the town, and the branding was killer as well. I love my phone THAT much ! But, failing the OP10 pro that didn't impress ENOUGH for me to fall in love with it, I closed my eyes a few days ago and pre-ordered the Redmagic 10 Pro (shipping on 27th December I just got notified!) and got the 16GB RAM version on a special deal with one day to go before the deal ended. I wasn't LOOKING for a phone, it just popped up somewhere in an AliExpress ad and got my attention...and so I decided to check it out. Being NOT officially released, it was tricky to get proper unboxing, hands-on reviews...and yours was AMAZING @Technick. Sure, camera-shwamera...but honestly, unless you're serial photo freak, or pro photo critic constantly comparing between brands...WHO CARES!? The Camera is WAY enough on the Redmagic for general everyday use. I'm not entering any photo competitions anytime soon. With all these camera bumps getting bigger and protruding more and more on flagships, it's actually becoming an eye-sore in my view. I always say that if you want to take pro photos, go buy a REAL camera. One of these days these phones might end up looking like a REAL old school analog Canon camera with lenses...and oh look, it can PHONE as well!?hahaha. Seriously, the mobile camera focus and frenzy is getting a bit ridiculous in my view...unless you really like spending 80% of the day looking at yourself and taking pictures of yourself like many young tiktok girls perhaps? A camera used to be an added extra on a phone back in the day! Now its becoming the DO or DIE thing for many and THE deciding factor whether to buy a phone or not. Really?? ? Nee wat, kry maar vir julle! I don't think I'll have any of my clients losing sleep because my soon-to-be Redmagic 9 Pro front camera is looking slightly hazy during a ZOOM call. I use DroidCam via PC for planned ZOOM or TEAMS conference calls anyway, with my phone on a tripod as it's still better than the native laptop camera. The OP7T Pro was brilliant and much better than most laptop built-in cameras, so I'll be doing he same with the Nubia....OR, I guess I can keep the OPT Pro for that? My point is, it's SO not going to add anything or take away anything from my life not to win selfie contests, and I would sacrifice a bit of photo or video quality and NOT have that visible stolen real estate on my screen ANY DAY! I'm NOT an Apple guy, never been...but had a look at pics of the Apple 15 pro. WHAT THE HELL is that black BS taking up a third of the screen!?? Also, my OP has some rounded corners, curved glass...sure...but any more curves on that Apple 15 and the whole phone will look as round as a mini induction stove plate! hahaha Geeesh dude, NOOOO WAY, keep your titanium stove plate with a camera on. If I want to watch a movie or Netflix or anything, I SO do not want some black dot ANYWHERE ON MY SCREEN, OR the screen to be cropped with software trying to hide the camera region. My new Redmagic square corners will probably display videos and movies and games even BETTER than my OnePlus, with dimensions and ratios almost like mini TV actually. Look, you'll only relate to this- and really understand the hole-punch controversy if you've actually HAD a notch-less phone. Folks who use other brands are conditioned to "get used to it" I guess, but I for one just can't go backwards. So, a bit less selfie quality in exchange for a hidden under the screen camera to replace the current pop-up cam of my OP7 T Pro (best thing since sliced bread, I swear!)....sure, I can do that ANY DAY, ALL day! I can just imagine having had a pop-up camera WITH that headphone jack on the Redmagic WOW!!! It would have just annihilated ANY remaining minor or personal objections from any others that might be bothered by the under display camera issue. I'm just fine with it. Anyway, 2 days to go and they ship FedEx, so I might add another comment once I've been baptized with my SNOWFALL 16GB RAM, 512 storage version and have put it through the paces. Merry Christmas to ME hahaha, I don't often get overly excited about tech...I mean, sure...it's nice to get things, but strangely enough, with THIS one...I can't WAIT!!

[@remruata4722]

As a person who don't use the selfie camera at all... i really like the design.

awesome review bro i loved it, definitely getting the 215gb model tho. amazing phone

[@undyla-chan1675]

I've always owned phones from really big companies like Apple, Samsung, Huawei etc. so considering this phone is a bit of a gamble to me. It is either this or the S23 Ultra (possibly S24 Ultra when it comes out) but I'm really not sure which one I should buy. I love the design and the performance on this but maintenance from smaller brands (repair, even phone cases) seems like it would be an issue. What do you say about that?

[@trevorveillette8415]

For me the biggest selling point is the storage for the price. 512GB on a phone for only 800$ is huge. My current s22 ultra is maxed out on 128gb storage. If I want an s23 with 512GB storage I need to pay 1300 dollars. 800 vs 1300. Plus the redmagic 9 has longer battery and triple the charging speed. A cooler design is just a bonus. Only concern I have is long term software support since people seem to criticize redmagic for this a lot on their phones

[@jaydawg3031]

​@@trevorveillette8415 the other problem is hardware support, with Samsung you will find repair centres everywhere and easy warranty replacement.

[@Aaronduhmoron]

​@@trevorveillette8415I agree with that. If you're still leaning towards the S23 Ultra I grabbed a 512GB one for $850 on Amazon refurbished no issues

Go get a OnePlus or Samsung if you wanna take pics. The software support is lacking and yes wish Red Magic would get that fix in the feature. looking pass that, this is a killers deal of a phone. I love when you can play games at max settings for hours and the screen doesn't dim or slow down one bit. And no thermal throttling even in Florida weather 😅.

it's a gaming phone and gamers don't care about camera, if you want better camera you going for different phone, they have set their goals and they following it, you could ask also why apple phones are not packed with heatsink while they advertise their phones as a gaming, I never will understand people like you, the costs would be increased for pop up camer, plus for streaming you couldn't use it at all, use a brain

[@vhyles]

You're totally right. Many people like me almost never game on their phones, and bought it mostly for the one-of-a-kind display and the headphone jack. It's really a pity that they can incorporate that technology on this phone, but don't want to, and we're left with below average selfie camera. If Nubia launches another Red Magic line with the same features without the gaming gimmicks, but centered around camera performance I'd buy it. The design of this phone is gorgeous tho, the black version is so sleek 🔥🔥

In roaming when receives a phonecall, it sounds but you cant see nothing in the screen and its like the phonecall is not there... Only the phone ringing but no way to answer it freezes in random moments at any app (so far i solve it disabling the option of using part of the memory as ram and only had it at 3gb) if you decide to have 2 whatsapp in the same phone it mixes the conversations of both whatsapps...
