[@ArcadeArea]

Once again Red Magic will be a great phone but people who want customization and longevity will choose OnePlus or Xiaomi for the open kernel source features. ZTE should release the kernel source of their phones at least a year later so people can install custom roms.

[@TakiUdon]

Ideally, they'd release kernel source within the first month of a release. There shouldn't be anything of value in there to stop them.

[@Crystaleyemaster]

Not only that but ZTE is not very known to give software updates for more than a year. That's why I'm waiting for the oneplus 12. But the device is looking spicy

[@ekinteko]

@@TakiUdon Hey Taki, what do you think of this idea? As a consumer we have different ecosystems to choose from, and different device types. Instead of getting "locked-in" to one brand, we consider their strengths and try to buy devices with access to different ecosystems. That way we bypass arbitrary limitations imposed on the consumer, and don't miss out on some great exclusive content. For 2024, I believe I found the optimal solution. At least in my opinion. Form-factor - Ecosystem - OS Phone: Google: AndroidOS Tablet: Apple: iPadOS Laptop: Microsoft: Windows10 Pro Desktop: Open Source: Linux Dualboot Console: Proprietary: Sony In more detail; Device - Accessory - Samsung S24+, Razer JungleCat - iPad Mini 7 SIM, GameSir G8 - Frameworks 16, Razer V3 Pro - Custom AM5 Gaming PC, ZorinOS - Sony PS5 Pro console

[@itranscendencei7964]

If customization and longevity are your top priority, then I would go with Nothing over OnePlus. OnePlus isn't the company that they used to be, and their new phones and OS reflect that.

[@chicho4865]

I wanted a Red Magic but they don't ship to my country and I bought a OnePlus 11😊

[@JunnyJai]

Glad to see as always phones getting more powerful as the years go by. The only issues I have is the support in both android software and security updates with this brand. It's the only reason why I stick to bigger brands like Samsung. I'd like to see more manufacturers support their devices at least 4 years down the line.

[@linuxes9681]

That's one thing that's good about apple. 7 years is the most generous out there.

[@JunnyJai]

With Google claiming 10 on their new lineup, (Google doesn't exactly have a great track record) more companies should follow in their steps (if they pull it off).

[@-BarathKumarS]

There is no security issue in Android, don't lie. Why would it matter if a phone receives or not receives updates after 5 years? You are probably gonna upgrade to a new one anyway plus not to mention the phone is not going to explode if it doesn't recieve any updates ffs. You guys are pathetic crying for updates,i seriously don't understand why it's so important for you guys.I personally have been using a phone i bought 5 years ago and it's essentially stuck with android 10 but i still use it everyday with no issues whatsoever,i use it for emulation too and it's better because android 11 restricted sd card storage.

Was really tempted to get this phone which I doubt most will even really be getting to use as one but the odin 2 is just much more convenient for me and has all the power I need.

[@MFillmore]

As he said, we're not even maxing out the 8 gen 2 in the switch emulators yet. The odin 2 and other 8 gen 2 devices should be fine for years before they start showing limitations for gaming. Even something a few years old like the SD865 still emulates nearly everything.

[@fug33]

Id argue its much more convenient having a smartphone and game console in one package than having them as 2 separate devices..

[@roastveggies]

@@fug33 nah. it seems convenient but it's a compromised experience. clip-on controllers never feel right and it's something extra you need to carry, often they need their own battery/charging, ergonomics are usually bad, and you're eating up your phone's battery while playing. this is why dedicated handhelds have become so popular recently

[@fug33]

@@roastveggies "something extra you need to carry" - as opposed to having to carry both your smartphone and handheld gaming console? odin2 is the only handheld that comes close in power to red magic - odin2 isnt a small device and its easier to carry a snes 8bitdo gamepad and red magic than it is to carry both your smartphone and a odin2 not to mention its cheaper buying just smartphone and gamepad than it is buying a smartphone and a equally powerful handheld

[@pbarratt73]

@fug33 I know what you're saying to be fair but I prefer a dedicated handheld. I was clipping my s23 in and out a gamesir controller and got fed up of it. No dedicated "back button" either... the Odin 2 absolutely does all my gaming needs and I keep my mobile phone.. as a phone away from games.

[@JB-tp6uj]

So far, the 8 Gen 3 just screams "wait for the Snapdragon 8 gen 4". Yes, the benchmarks are better, but there's nothing to apply it to. If it was the difference between getting PS3 and Xbox emulation, that would be one thing, but as it stands, it's just a superficial bump over the 8 Gen 2.

[@ChiludoSmith]

Plus, Gen 4 is looking like it will be a big improvement now that it will use Oryon cores by Nuvia

[@netnomad47]

At this point switch emulation is that high emulation available for android. Which the last 3 snapdragon chips could run easily. I wish they would bring x360 and ps3 for Android

[@INTJ791]

​@@netnomad47ps3 is hard to decode

[@smashingwarden]

It's a pretty significant jump. The problem, and for quite sometime now, it's software optimization. The emulators simply suck, even on low powered handhelds you constantly see drivers and updates making all the difference in performance and the supposed problems of a device were not on the hardware front.

[@WoodroHidro]

[@TakiUdon]

It's a blessing and a curse. The few games that can push this chip lock their graphical options to select phones that are weaker than this. I wish we could get some more console ports from the last 5 years or so on Android.

[@jesusbarrera6916]

I am pretty sure the IPHONE chipsets are still more powerful than the SD8 GEN 2, and much more optimized by a vertically integrated company and console like walled garden

[@notfunny3397]

@@jesusbarrera6916 geekerwan's Chinese channel made a video with benchmarks of all kinds at every wattage, basically a performance/watt graph. Basically the a17 beats the sd8gen2 narrowly in multicore and by a decent margin in single core. But the 8gen2 is quite significantly better in GPU score. The 8gen2 is also a bit more efficient over all power draws. Both cpu and GPU. But like you said, optimization does play a bigger role. The new mediatek dimensity chip beats the 8gen3 in CPU, and GPU and efficiency over the entire power draw graph. But the it would still be worse in an emulator like yuzu because the YUZU Devs didn't optimize for Mali GPUs. So personally I think you are half right, iPhones applications are generally more optimized, like in the case of genshin impact, but that's mostly on the application developers and not apple itself.

[@mahiru20ten]

[@TakiUdon]

I thought it was already out, but it doesn't release for a few more days. It's the MC+ from Leadjoy.

[@victorstk]

Make a video on that black controller!

[@PaulBrunache]

I thought the headphone jack was on the top not on the side on the red magic 9?

[@MrZakuRetro]

man i would never can buy good phone the economy in Argentina is mess, i have a g9 plus and maybe never have the chance to change it... great videos i would try to dream about having this and less back pain, something that is great too being a a amoled screen and having 2000+ on pwm amoled screen from sansumg phones kills me eyes.

[@sujitpachode3207]

Sorry but video quality looking terrible in this video, like fully over sharpened 😢

[@Zero-bg2vr]

what is the controller used on 5:17?

[@TakiUdon]

Elo Vagabond

[@st0nedpenguin]

Incredible hardware but I just won't use anything other than a Google or Motorola phone at this point. I can't deal with horrible Android UI skins.

[@That_tato]

Can you use a micro sd for more storage?

[@AngelCopout]

Waifu mode? Aight you hooked me.

[@davidagiel8130]

I have this issue with Red magic and retroarch, every time I hit the air triggers it is assigned to a short cut for screen shots, I’ve looked everywhere to change the setting but can’t find it. Has anyone had this issue and figured out how to fix it? At the moment I’m just using stand alone emulators now. But I’d rather just boot up retroarch. Or I there a better retroarch alternative now?

[@jattdachannel6652]

you can play psp PS2 and some Nintendo games on this + its a phone for all other things, it's win win

[@robertlawrence9000]

Everything on the Redmagic looks great except the thing that made me not want to buy it and that is the camera behind the screen. That is lame! Just make small bezels for the camera. That is one thing at least ROG Phones and Sony Xperia are doing right.

[@wagner2077]

Cool. Now we just need 16:9 phones back.

[@Yevg3n1y]

Can you test winlator?

[@davidus336]

I used a Samsung s20fe (€150) and with its snapdragon 865 and OLED 120hz screen and stereo audio I can run everything up to the PS2 at 4x resolution... and I use it with a €40 gamesir X2. ...other than Odin and crazy price!

[@iamwrong2239]

What is the price for this? Because the website doesn't tell you

[@nastudragneel6023]

Around 900 dollars

[@Sadtiric]

I just bought about 100 of the little keychain "mini game players." XD

[@bigstv15]

Whats the game playing at 00:14?

[@ArAKenek]

How can you play/emulate HL2 or Morrowind on the phone?

[@TakiUdon]

There is a source port launcher for HL1 and HL2 that runs the Windows game files. Morrowind has an open source project called OpenMW that also runs official game data. I used the Android version of it.

[@ArAKenek]

@@TakiUdon Thank you very much!

[@tdata545]

Just wished these had External MicroSD support, they have the space. They know their audience are buying this for emulation and the things this emulates are large games. Hey but headphone jack, at least. Also why can't android turn off the device display when displaying out?

[@vigil4812]

Yes you can, my 8Pro able to turn off the phone screen in both mirror mode and console mode (extended display mode).

[@ColorblindMonk]

I don't think the big games high end phones can emulate are actually that big in storage space, not for a 512GB phone. I doubt anyone is actually playing all of those games at once.

[@tdata545]

@@vigil4812 What's an 8 Pro? Pixel? Tab S?

[@vigil4812]

@@tdata545 Red Magic 8 Pro, the previous generation of the phone in this video.

[@tdata545]

@@vigil4812 Apparently since Android 10, Google's hidden an experimental "DESKTOP MODE" which just allows you to turn off your phone or tablet's screen while still casting to an external monitor. Tried it on my S23 Ultra, it works couldn't do anything since I didn't pair a mouse and keyboard with it.

[@Mintreviews55]

Bro that igpu on that phone beats ryzen 5 5600g and budget g processor cause it can't run pcsx2 anything more than 2×

[@luciferjohnson8495]

Why not just buy a Asus rog ally or a steam deck if u wanna game

[@stephanuswidjaja105]

hi need your guide here. what to buy between rog ally vs steam deck vs legion go?

[@elixer6522]

Because the steam is a 1.5lbs. Big ass gigantic brick of a console. A phone is significantly lighter and portable

[@theorphanobliterator]

try putting a steam deck in your phone. and then, call someone on your steam deck

[@stephenxs8354]

Heaven forbid they make SD 3 mini pc.

[@LigerSuperstar]

Wow. I would play Persona 5 again if it was that smooth on my phone.

[@robinrai4973]

How do these android phones fair against something like a SteamDeck? Just curious really

[@TakiUdon]

This has a stronger CPU (no idea on the GPU). The Steam Deck is better overall because it has a better ecosystem.

[@pingozingo]

what keyboard is that at 4:30?

[@jardelortiz6762]

Could someone who has Red Magig 9 tell me if its integrated fan helps it not to overheat on heavy emulators like Yuzu?

[@jacksputrid]

Sold.

[@robinrai4973]

Love its design
