hello everyone it's spawnpoiint and welcome back to another video and today we're taking a look
at a new phone that launched earlier this month it's got the first 165 hertz screen customizable
shoulder triggers 16 gig of ram at a dedicated gaming mode and this is the red magic 6 pro this
is a gaming phone from nubia so i will do a quick unboxing i'm going to cover the unique features
show you some gaming and i'm also going to highlight some things i don't like and i think
needs improving so whether you're into gaming or not this phone could be of interest to you
okay so first up what's inside the box well we've obviously got the phone itself this is
the 6 pro and it's in moon silver we'll take a closer look at this in a second we've got a red
usb c cable and this is a type c to type c here's the charger or the power brick now although the
phone is capable of using a 66 watt charger and that's for fast charging this is actually only
a 30 watt charger then there's this rubber grip and this acts as a case of the rear of the phone
it also gives it that extra protection and then we've got the manual and they've got
the warranty information as well that's it that's everything that you get inside the box
so first impressions this is quite a big phone now i mean comparing this to my iphone
12 pro max this is actually slightly bigger but it weighs about the same at 220 grams
now visually it clearly looks like a gaming phone there's no denying this at all
it's got that kind of futuristic style to it especially with this mirror-like design so
it's got a glass front and back and then it's got a metal frame so it feels really nice in the hand
okay so let's take a look around the phone at the different buttons and the ports and so on
so what we've got here is we've got the usb c port at the bottom alongside a speaker grille and the
dual sim card slot and this actually supports 5g then there's the gaming mode switch this red
button here is actually a dedicated gaming button there's a vent and a volume controls as well then
on the other side we've got the shoulder triggers the power button and another vent and then on the
top we've got the headphone jack which is nice to see in a phone again now around the back
again this design very clearly looks like it's a gaming phone so you've got the red magic brand
in and then at the bottom you've actually got this little red magic logo and now this actually
lights up so if you enable it in the settings it will then shine red and it will actually pulsate
then there's a triple camera setup this actually includes a 64 megapixel photo and up to 8k
video now these two leds on either side these are actually rgbs you can actually have them set up
and change any color that you wish whether you want it pulsing we want it a solid color
you can do that in the settings so what you can also do you can set these lights up to act as
a notification light so they can light or they can flash up when you've got incoming calls or
messages so around the front we've got this 6.8 inch ammo led screen now for what i've read this
is the first 165 hertz refresh that we've seen in the phone and this feels rapid it's so smooth and
so fast and navigating the swap between screens it's actually really nice to use but you can
adjust the refresh rate in the settings you can bring it down to 144 90 or 60 it's also got a 10
bit display now the brightness on this screen is pretty good so i've had it outside and it actually
runs at 630 nits so no issues at all with using this during the day now at the top of the screen
there's actually a very small front-facing camera as well you can just about see it here
now it also has an awesome underscreen fingerprint reader and that works every time i've been really
really impressed with this feature okay so you've just made it about three or four minutes into the
video if you can leave a 2021 gaming phone in the comments i will give you a thumbs up as i
know you're here and also why don't you drop a like on this video as it really does help me out
so as you can see already this phone is running on android and this is android 11 alongside red
magic 4.0 and that's what we'll use for the gaming side of this phone now if you're an android user
already you know what to expect from this so about 95 of the phone will run as normal as you would
expect only if you actually enable the gaming mode or the game space is when you actually use the
red magic 4.0 features now being an iphone user myself this is literally the first android phone
i've ever owned so let me know in the comments what you use are you ios or are you android so
in terms of the specs of this phone it's got a 256 gigabyte storage 16 gigabytes of memory it's then
got the snapdragon 888 chip dts x sound it's got a built-in turbo fan as well with a 7-way cooling
system that's including a vapor chamber now it's also got a triple mic setup which you might have
spotted when we had a look around the phone a little bit earlier you can actually see here
there are three very small microphones on either side of the phone but one of the most impressive
things about this phone are the 400 hertz shoulder triggers that you can use for gaming that's kind
of one of the biggest reasons that you would choose this phone these little touch buttons act
as an l and an r trigger that you would usually use on a controller and there's practically no lag
at all when using these there's even a raised bit of the phone to rest your fingers on so
when you're not pressing the triggers you can kind of just keep your fingers here out of the way
but to enable these triggers alongside some other cool features you actually need to first switch
the phone into the gaming mode or the game space so with most phones you just open up a game let's
take call of duty mobile and you will just play well you can still do that on the red magic 6 pro
but you want to make the most out of this phone so the first thing you want to do is you want
to flick this physical button that's on the side of the phone now this will put you into
the game space now from here it will actually show you what games you have installed already
now launching the games from this area will now give us an even more options available
now options you would never have realized you even needed when gaming so there's a quick info
like the cpu and the gpu alongside your network usage changing the refresh rate of the screen
turning the turbofan on and off recording games or blocking incoming calls so looking at the shoulder
triggers and that's what we looked at before you can essentially customize these two buttons that
are on the top to click anywhere on the screen that you would like so for example if i had the
left trigger and i wanted to use that as my aim i would drag the little l over the aim button here
and then i would drag the letter r over the fire button this now means when i'm aiming and i'm
firing in the game i don't need to touch the screen with my fingers to do so i can actually
just use the buttons on the top of the phone now it also has a very small amount of feedback and
you can enable that it's actually called vibration feedback now you can just about feel it but to be
honest you can hear it more than you can feel it there's also the gaming assist option so if
you're playing games that doesn't have a crosshair in the middle obviously call of duty mobile does
but if it didn't you can actually add a manual button over the center here so you tap aim assist
choose the style color size and then just add it to the screen now if you're gaming you might also
want to make use of recording your gameplay and maybe upload it to youtube or elsewhere well you
can do that with the controls or the software again so just swipe and record and that's it
another awesome feature that you might want to use and that's the ability to snap or overlay windows
so for example you could have whatsapp or you could have chrome on the side of your game screen
now this would be great if you were say looking up information of the game that you're playing
or a guide or a walk through so all of these settings and more are all available using the
game space now these only show up when you flick that physical switch on the side of the phone
then once you're done flick the switch again and it returns you to the normal phone now one issue
that i have noticed is you cannot see the setting for the battery anywhere now you would think that
when you're in game mode if you swipe to this sidebar here you would at least see the battery
indicator like you can with the cpu and the gpu but unfortunately that's not there at all but yeah
playing cod or call of duty on this phone has been a lot of fun now using the touch triggers is far
far easier than pressing the buttons on the screen something i've never been good at
it also felt really really responsive no issues at all with playing now if you play on mobile
what games are you currently playing or would you recommend that i actually play
my go-to is always call of duty but with all that gaming you might be wondering how hot
does the phone get does it stay cool well it definitely gets hot to the touch a little bit
less than i was expecting but the phone has a great way of combating that so there are seven
different cooling methods being used here one of those is a turbo cooling fan
now what actually has it has two vents on the side of the phone which we showed before
and it disperses the heat outside of those fans it does a great job of keeping it cool but with
those fans comes noise and they're not quiet so when they kick in this is what they sound like
but you can turn them off just tap the icon here and they will just turn off there's also the
option to use an external cooler fan now this is a usb c powered fan it's designed to be clipped onto
the back of the phone and powered by the phone as well now it's not something that i would use but
you can see here that once it's been powered up it spins and it goes through the full rgb lighting as
well unfortunately the usbc cable is provided with is way too long the fact is it's only ever going
to be on the back of the phone so the cable really only needs to be kind of like two or three inches
long it doesn't need to be any longer than this but this is what the fan sounds like so powering
this phone is a 5050 milliamp hours battery which is rated for a good three to five hours of gaming
or it will last you a couple of days under normal use it's capable of using a 66 watt charger that's
for fast charging but it only comes with a 30 watt charger in the box but just to note this is not a
wireless charging phone there are three cameras on this including a 64 megapixel an ultra wide and a
macro lens plus loads of modes available so you've got the normal camera mode as you would expect if
you swipe to the side you've got night mode and portrait it supports 4k and up to 8k recording
from the limited test shots i've taken over the last couple of days the cameras are fine but it's
definitely not the main reason that you would pick up this phone now there are a few things that are
missing or i think that's worth mentioning so first of all is the wireless charging is not
available but it's definitely worth noting as more and more phones are coming out now do support that
so it might be something that catches you out as mentioned you cannot see the remaining battery
while you're in the game space area this should be added it should be next to the gpu and the cpu
now it's also not water resistant now that should be obvious with the huge vents you've
got on the side of the phone but again it's worth mentioning now this could be a big one and there's
no expandable or removable memory on this phone so there's no sd card slot so whichever red magic pro
you go for choose the largest memory that you think you'll use but yeah over the last week
of using this phone i've really enjoyed it and as i mentioned before this is my first ever android
device so it's taking some getting used to using the operating system but it's actually been a lot
of fun now obviously the triggers and the refresh rate of the screen is the massive selling point
on this and i've had no issues at all with it so i would definitely recommend picking this up
if you're looking for a gaming phone something that you want to use for mobile gaming or just as
a normal android phone price wise for this i think is really really competitive so i have popped a
link in the description if you want to check that phone out feel free to click that link well you've
