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?🤔🔥

[@JstormZx]

I'd very much love to get one. Especially for that sweet external display feature. That is the biggest deal for me.

[@AnosVoIdigoad99]

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

[@7eenius]

I'd like to see photos of this model.

[@StyleshStorm]

Is there any pictures of the new Aurora version?

[@drixxer]

wow thats not even that expensive for such a beast

[@burtpeproni2656]

This was an extremely well put together video. The quick listing of every gaming feature helped a ton. Thanks

[@Andrew_phils]

Thanks for taking your time. Other video i saw was so brief

[@sirTytylor]

Great videos and reviews, putting in pop up pictures of other phones/colors you are referencing would make your reviews even better.

[@Shan_Shah]

Even with a 20:9 aspect ratio this looks more like a 19.5:9 looks so much better than most gaming phone which are very narrow

[@erfoo_photography8037]

Nice job, love your videos ❤

[@AlLiNoNe-44]

Personally I like bypass charging technology... I hope in future all smartphone company adopt these feature😊

[@rupamdas6536]

Exactly 🥹🫂

[@Airihav]

galaxy s22 and s23 has then, I use then a lot on my galaxy s23 plus

[@NickozixPLAY]

Bypass Charging is a blessing. I love it! 😁

[@Reixuria]

yeah tho while using it on high intensive games it does drop like 1% even with bypass on but temp is so reduced so much so its aaight

[@MohawkV85]

yeah been using it since rog phone 3

[@Sharafuna8]

No one could describe it better. You are a gem for a youtuber. Nice explanation. Looking foward to buy this phone as an upgrade from poco x3 pro

[@SparkySubie]

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

[@WheezingRacoon]

i think the reason they did that because they were scared it wouldn't sell

[@JRon1]

I don't think you need anything more than 12GB on a phone tbh

[@BLK-PantheR]

@@JRon1 you might need more storage space !!!...

[@vali69]

​@@JRon1yeah even with all the mobile games and emulation you could do in it, it's still more than enough.

[@ArmaghRed1892]

@@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.

Good thing I have bought the 8 pro yet. I'm going for the 8S now!

[@stephanodibennnardo2569]

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 ?

[@StyleshStorm]

"The most powerful smartphone on the planet" What a title. I still like my 7S Pro Mercury Edition though. The transformers type design is so sexy.

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!

[@aslofores236]

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.

[@user-qd3xr4ie9u]

This phone is truly Alienware level. I will definitely buy this....

[@sakkasper8870]

The screen alone on this phone seems so damn perfect, indeed. This is how the gaming phone supposed to have looked.😅

[@user-ui2yb2ey3h]

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.

[@metalcrip89]

They need to release this unlocked at Best buy I wanna play with this lol

[@giovaniparrilha1752]

I'm speechless with this phone!!

[@RaufLKC]

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?

[@Shan_Shah]

In display camera might be one of their reason to lower samsungs ultra series that still has WQHD+ display.

[@Alex.R.O.P]

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

[@Frozoken]

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.

[@Ping1320]

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 🥂

[@HULUKILPE24]

What color do you think is good

[@jasondureza1419]

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?

[@Caius1930]

What does glass and 'synthetic metal' mean?? Is most of it metal or not? Thermally conductive or not?

[@lithiumdarko2113]

I've been looking forward to the 24gb ram with 1tb storage..... what did they do with that build 😓😓

Hey TechNick i have a question dose the case that red magic sell the series 8 work with 8s pro plus

[@pd-cleaner]

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.

[@rolins3279]

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.

[@zechariahdln9558]

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.

[@LEGENDARYSAIYANGOKU]

I'm using rog3 Unbeatable device

[@rolins3279]

@@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.

[@harryhelina9859]

----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

[@zechariahdln9558]

@@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.

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

Hi @TechNick can you already say how the software is in daily use? It's always been said that Redmagic's software was pretty buggy in the past.

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 😂

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.
