I've had this phone myself for almost 2 weeks & love it. I also did a video on my channel for it, but of course, yours is way better, which is why I look forward to these. Now I do want to clarify something about the refresh rate. RedMagic was not only the first to bring 144hz refresh rates to mobile, but also 165hz & the reason this is capped at 120hz, is simply because of the in-disply selfie camera. Last year when they came out with the RedMagic 7 & 7 Pro, the standard 7 had a 165hz refresh rate, as did the 6/6S Series from the year before, but lacked the hidden front facing camera the 7 Pro had, just as the 7S (China release only) & 7S Pro didn't/did, respectively, a few months later. This year, they chose to solely go with the Pro, so there is no model without the in-disply front facing camera & he technology isn't quite there yet, for them comfortably offer refresh rates higher than 120hz with the hidden camera.

[@nunyabusiness8441]

Using a 6s Pro here, & honestly? I've never really noticed the diff between 120hz & 165hz refresh. I even have it at 90hz right now & that works just fine for me.

The removal of the micro SD slot is a deal-breaker regardless of anything else this phone has to offer. But I've had a couple of Red Magic phones and they were both buggy.

Red magic making a phone I actually want is a shocker

[@GGN-92]

Very good review, thanks for sharing !

[@Lisa-Peter7875]

Love your videos,and yes I would like too see more gaming and emulation on the red magic I'm thinking of buying it.

When he showed Minecraft i thought he was going to enable RTX.

[@srvuk]

Yes it's 2023 and it has a headphone jack. Good! Versatility that millions still enjoy. The performance is undoubtedly good and for once, cheaper than I expected it to.

[@linkssz1699]

Look at the temperature difference on those benchmark tests, that's a crazy difference.

[@greenprotag]

The beast arrives ^_^ From what I could tell on average you get about 10% more performance on the SoC compared to the gen 1, but also more battery efficiency.

[@mr.carnaf]

Absolutely beautiful and powerful, that's my dream phone

[@AlphaBravo860]

4:40 CORRECTION. Sorry I'm a bit of a geek here... It has 2x 3000MAH batteries. It's better then 1x 6000MAH battery

[@ush2177]

Ayn Just announced that the Odin 2 will have this chip. super excited now.

[@numberoneappgames]

This would be my dream phone.

[@KizzMyAbs]

What a beast of a phone! ❤❤❤

[@Zvxers7]

People really think having a headphone jack is old

[@EienRozen]

It also supports Snapdragon Sound, so you legitimately don't need the aux cable, but they were nice enough to include it anyways

[@Su_Lüxia]

SD 8 gen 2 on a redmagic! its gonna be the best, maybe asus rog can compete that genshin so fluid, no stutter or hitches also it still has 3.5mm jack

[@aloyminimum]

16GB of RAM on a phone? We really are in the future

[@ВладиславПутріков]

the last red magic 7s pro was with 18GB of RAM and there is also a phone (I don’t remember the name) that has 23GB of RAM

[@MAFz7]

@@ВладиславПутріков Yeah but those with inferior chipsets.. this phone has 16GB of RAM _while_ carrying latest powerful chipset!

[@ThinhTran-wy6vc]

The Chinese exclusive variant has 18GB RAM and 1TB storage. Overkill specs though. The extra RAM just sit there, unused as with the extra storage of 1TB.

[@AndehX]

As far as F-Zero goes, if you want to see how a device really performs. Load up the Big Blue Drift Highway course. That course's intro really lags lower end devices hard.

[@skresic]

Nice review , you just forgot to mention dedicated RM gaming chip built-in and previous version of the phone is RM 7/7S/7SPro.

[@peterpumkineater6872]

This will be bought for gaming not taking fancy pictures . So for what it was manufactured for, it is fine. Btw: great report.

[@OblivionPrime]

Man that box and phone look beautiful!

[@thunderchild888ak]

Great videos. Keep em coming. What is the wallpaper you're using? Wallpaper engine or is it only on this device?

[@all.day.day-dreamer]

Im actually going to be buying this phone I think

[@vidprince]

Wow. those specs are jawdropping

[@lacrossev]

I've been missing the slab form factor of my razer phone 2 for awhile now, this might be worth a look for my next phone.

[@shephusted2714]

wifi7 is a good addition - good server phone

[@nunyabusiness8441]

I've learned a lesson from using last year's 6S plus as my daily phone. I hope they've allowed more carriers than just T-Mobile, because phone calls are subpar as the phone glitches out where no one can hear you on the other end unless you switch it from speaker & regular or vise versa & that's just freaking weird. Text connectivity is pretty shitty as well with group texting & not all texts come through. When it comes to a gaming phones, it's all well & good but as an ACTUAL PHONE TO USE AS A COMMUNICATION DEVICE? I hope they've also fixed THE PHONE part as well in the 8 Pro Plus.

[@mantapdjiwa9768]

Thats due to murica’s restriction = anti-chinese campaign.

[@gibforddaddydale]

I’d love to see a console mode video! Any chance we could see if Eternal Darkness runs on the Wii/GameCube emulator? I’ve always wondered if it was one of those hard to run games!

[@Eight-Bit-Hustler]

Damn!? that things better than my laptop! 😂

[@Insignia-pp1eh]

congrats on 1mil soon
