Now traditionally my number one gaming mobile device I go to is one of these an iPhone however
there is the brand new red Magic 8 Pro that I've been sent here and this is a dedicated
gaming mobile phone or dedicated smart cell phone and today I'm going to test it out to
see how great it really is for gaming performance and also other tasks too well without further Ado
guys let's get started with the unboxing so first of all when I open up the box I got this sort of
plastic sort of manga character here and I wonder who she was and according to Red magic her name is
called Maura and she's actually going to be an assistant on side the red Magic 8 Pro and they
give me this and they've also give me one of these it was pretty cute too so I'm just going
to put those to one side for the moment keep them visible they can watch the unboxing whippy too but
let's have a look then let's see what we've got here this is the red magic box here that's nice
and shiny and silver it's a pretty cool looking box with a spec and everything on the back there
let's see what is inside shall we oh lifting up oh wow look at that straight away it's more again
on the motorbike from the looks of it or something let's just put that to one side nice and shiny and
silver on the inside of that but here we go some sort of sort of manga sort of comic sort of appeal
on this it's pretty cool to be fair and everything like this I think this top bit here comes undone
if I'm right it's another box Inside the Box because I don't want to break it and oh there we
go that's some sort of instructions and bits and pieces inside there let's have a quick look yeah
sort of guides and bits and pieces like that and also we do have a case what I'll look at in just
a moment because most importantly you guys want to see the phone so I'm just going to grab the
phone out here and this looks absolutely beautiful look at this nice little plastic traditional sort
of Peel I don't know which way to open at the bottom or the top here so let's just pull here
oh I love that feeling when you open it up and wow look at that guys there is the phone
it's a very Square rectangular sort of you know sort of shape and we'll put that down
to just one side for now let's see what else we have inside the box here we do have a charger
um on this one there's an American charger I've got British things this might not work for me but
don't worry I've got my own USB charger as well and as we've got in here we also do have a cable
as well USBC to USBC nice sort of red and black ends just there let's have a look what else what's
just inside the box I think that is it um with everything there so I'm just going to put those
to one side there's also something here as well I'm just peeling off this off uh some QR codes
just to read some bits and pieces on that let's have a look again at this then the case that we
have right here so I'm just going to pull that out and yeah it's nice and flimsy to be honest
it's a nice case well in fact a good majority of the phone but doesn't fully protect all of it as
you can see here on the sides it just Main just the tops and the bottom and then mainly just the
rear and everything on that so if I can just connect it in there oh it's nice and easy to
get on though guys that was but yeah it kind of does protect the corners I suppose and everything
like that to give you access to the buttons and everything like that but there we go guys that
is the unboxing so with that unboxing out of the way let's see how impressive this new design of
this red Magic 8 Pro really is and let's take a closer look so first of all let's talk about then
the actual design of this red Magic 8 Pro so this here is the void versions and this basically means
it's transparent at the back but there is also a matte version what's basically a matte black
version on the display on the back here so this is kind of sort of grayed out completely so you can't
see all the guts inside but I personally like this void option because you can see everything in size
very unique this is something very very different you don't normally see phones like this it's very
very different you can actually see the chipset over here where my thumb is right here and this
is the snap dragon um eight and this is the Gen 2 version and then also top here this sort of hole
here this is sort of like the main sort of air sort of chamber here you've got a little mini
fan here this white little blob here and that goes up to 20 000 RPM just that little fan air and it
keeps the chipset nice and cool it's really really cool you can actually see there's a grill here by
my thumb if I turn it back over as well there's another Grill there to let the air go through and
I really really like that it's really really cool it is quite a rectangular phone as you can see
here it's very very different because normally you know we have really smooth round edges but you do
have some great buttons on here you do have like your volume rocker on one side and you also got
your power button as well we've also got a little red button here where I'll talk about a little bit
later on and then also you've got these things up here and these are actually shoulder sort of
Triggers on here these sort of little pads here so they're like sort of shoulder pads where you can
touch them when you're playing your games and they can actually respond up to 520 Hertz so basically
touch them that's how fast the sampling rate is on them so that is really really cool we've also
got some speakers up here as well and down there and in fact actually look at that there's a 3.5
um headphone jack there too it's really really amazing you don't really see them we've also
got three camera lenses on the rear what I'll talk about a little bit later on and a flash at
the top there but overall the actual design looks really really cool I'll just turned on my screen
there you can actually see everything I'll do my sort of fingerprint scanner wow that was really
really responsive to get into the phone and this screen here isn't actually an ammo LED display and
funny enough the responsiveness with your finger it's 960 Hertz for that multi-finger touch to
responsiveness was really really high most phones only have something like around about say 200 to
say 400 or 500 so I have 960 Hertz it's pretty impressive also with this ammo LED display as
you haven't told already it's buttery smooth that is 120 hertz obviously there are some phones out
there a bit more higher but to be generally honest with the chipset inside us and the way how things
are going most games can't really get Beyond sort of um over even 100 Hertz generally so in this day
and age those type of games that you're going to be playing like the ones I'm going to demo to in
a bit you don't really need anything more than 120 hertz right now at this stage but overall
I do absolutely love this screen it's actually got 400 pixels per inch what is really really
cool there's over 16 million colors and also the brightness is really bright this is on maximum
brightness right now and I can just dim it down there but the brightness goes up to 1 300 nits so
yeah it's a pretty incredible display really thin borders around the side in fact actually this red
magic has actually got a 93.7 screen to body ratio what is really really impressive but turning over
the phone here you can actually see the fan is on at the moment remember this is spinning at 20
000 RPM keeping everything cool here down to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 sort of chipset what's inside
here and this Gen 2 chipset is really really a Powerhouse I'll bring you a bit more closer
to it on this one and then basically the speed of this is 3.2 gigahertz and also it has a brand new
Qualcomm adreno GPU and it has a 42 Improvement performance and also 50 more power efficiency over
the sort of last generation and also it's actually equipped with Wi-Fi seven so you know we've got
Wi-Fi 6E right now this chip can actually do Wi-Fi seven and also the storage inside this is ufs 4.0
what is that the fastest you can get out there and you can get up to 16 gigabytes of RAM in
this and that's running on LP ddr5x Ram or it's really really impressive indeed there is also no
extra sort of SD card slots or anything like that but you can get up to 512 gigabytes of storage on
this phone for all your big games out there the red Magic 8 Pro also allows you to charge
with a 65 watt charger what is really really cool and also the fan on the back also kicks
it in to cool down the battery what I think is really really impressive indeed and you wouldn't
believe the capacity of the battery inside this it actually is a 6 000 milliamp battery you heard
me right there 6 000 milliamp and best of all you can charge the phone from basically a dead
battery up to a hundred percent in less than 43 minutes with a 65 watt charger what is also
included inside the box so I'm just on the about this phone at the moment and as you can see here
we're on red magic operating system 6.0 what is the latest version was based on Android version
13. and you're getting all the latest security updates and things like that so that's really
really cool like I said this is the red magic OS 6.0 so it's a kind of a custom sort of skin on
top but it's not like all below where things like this the only extra sort of features and bits and
pieces actually to personalize the actual phone and also keep everything cool and also make it
a proper sort of gaming phone so for example there's some personalized settings in here and
I've never seen so many personalized settings what you can do beyond the sort of traditional sort of
wallpaper you've got your themes and everything like that so I can do my shadow warship here
I'm going to put that on right now actually it's changed things up look at that massive big change
there I do like that but what I can also do is I can actually change even my fingerprint scanner
what's really really awesome I can have a so you can do different sort of fingerprint scanners I
actually like that one I like that effect there so I'm going to have him switched on and then also at
the same time we can change my always on display I'll talk about this girl in a second who she is
because she's someone interesting I want you to meet but we can have all those sort of different
backgrounds I'm gonna have this one oh and I'm going to apply that I do like that one in fact
I'll show you again didn't show there look at that that's pretty cool for you're always on display so
yeah I'm gonna have that one on my phone there but not only this the light Strip This is the lights
are on the back of the phone you can actually change this as well so if I'm going to show you
here if I put it onto this setting here if I turn the phone over you can actually see it lighting
up there can you see the red magic and these things here obviously the light for the actual
fan is on still but everything else is lighting up and we can actually sort of change the color
so say if I wanted to have it on a yellow there we go and they're yellow now it's a bit hard to
see actually in this light but there we go you get the idea on that I'm going to put it back on that
pink there and then we can also change to how we want those lights to light up on the back for all
sorts of different things for when we're actually playing a game or if we're watching something or
notification or incoming calls it's really really cool you can do all those sort of things and then
there's battery saving options and all that good fun stuff too so yeah there's lots and lots of
abilities and lots of things to change and like I said there's really no bloatware whatsoever on
this phone so if I go to my app here that I've got I can't see anything with a kind of extra there's
the odd little bit like your notepad and whatnot things like that but there's nothing sort of extra
um sort of bloatware on top of this phone what is really really cool to see very simple very easy
to use so flicking this red button here what looks like a standby but on an iPhone but if
you flick it there what this launches is game Space this is like a dedicated gaming area for
your phone where you've got all your games and everything here as you can see I've got a few
games let's have a Call of Duty Genson I've also got a salt nine there but I also want to introduce
you to Maura like I said Maura is these girls here that I have on my desk right now but more
is also your assistant on your phone so what you can do is you can actually do more okay
you can set up your birthday set your identity private Company employee student I don't know
that's a bit unusual isn't it private then so I can set up my year I could say I was
born in the year 2000 well I was born before that I could say let's say I was born on the
effects let's say let's say it's been May May 15th let's do that and we're going to confirm
that as my age and everything so yeah we can also connect we can have on my home screen if I want to
um I'm not sure if I actually want that it's having a life scenario whatever that means
there but what we can also do with her is we can have more of a live as well we can actually stream
her to sort of other devices as well it's pretty cool also a little bit strange in my opinion but
she's okay if I just show you here going backwards come out with moreover there I want to get more
about we can actually um get her to talk to us and things like this so we can say I don't know this
she's ticklish there we go and we can also get set an alarm oh
I'm a commander so you can get the idea you can do sort of things like that and do whatever you want
but you can also get pictures with her too if you really really love her that much so she's standing
up here I could get to stand the other girls but I think I'm actually going to change her let's
have a look let's get her to sit down uh let's get sitting like that in fact let's get it to sit on
my plant right there let's go stick on the plant there we go just to show you she's sitting on the
plant I'm going to say that to the album because I like that picture with her sitting on the plant
because I'm a strange person like that so going back out there that is Mora but what you guys want
to see is you want to actually see some games in action well what you can do guys you can actually
sort of change things you can turn on the fan here turn off the fan you can enhance the audio
turn it off you can also see all your different sort of apps and pieces you've also can do other
bits and pieces like put on some external sort of fans if you really want to if you're going to go
that hardcore what is really really cool but what I'm going to actually do guys I'm going to launch
Call of Duty so this is what the game is all about as you can see here I'm playing Modern Warfare and
it looks absolutely spectacular on here look at the graphics really really smooth buttery
smooth performance on here let's see if I can find somebody so we can actually shoot them up there we
go a bit too quick there a bit too soon and ran straight into the battle so here I'm playing a
bit of assault Legends 9 was a really really cool game and everything looks beautiful on here one
thing I want to quickly show you is a little party trick what is on this and that is that
we can actually swipe here to the side and we can actually add things like the triggers here with
the shoulder triggers as you can see here they light up when you do a press them and everything
I was really really cool but what you can actually do is that you can actually assign things to them
you can actually sign shortcuts and things to each of the trigger on top here what is really
really cool so what I'm going to do is I'm just going to come out of this and I'll leave it on
the single tap for now and come out here and then I'm going to resume the game and then as you can
see you can see I can use either of these sort of features here I can do the double spin if I wanted
to on the shoulder what is really really cool I absolutely love that as well so yeah it's really
cool that you've actually got this in fact I'll show you on another game so what you can actually
do with these triggers that you can assign them onto buttons on the screen if you want instead
of you pressing them all the time so what I'm going to do is I'm actually going to move my left
trigger here to my normal sort of weapon one here and then also I'm going to move my right one onto
my sort of special ability there so I'm gonna have that all set up and if you watch here now I press
it there we go my special ability just worked if I press the other trigger you can see it's
pressing the button right there what is really really cool we'll talk about this game as you
can see everything is working really really really well nice and smooth battery's smooth definitely
in this game what I absolutely love this looks really really cool but yeah definitely if you want
to play games like this and use these triggers it is definitely worth it because it is so good to
assign these triggers and definitely not have your fingers all over the screen all the time so yeah
for the front-facing camera this is also super impressive can you see the front-facing camera
nope well I'm going to tell you right now the front-facing camera is up here in the top Corner
something like we've seen like with Samsung and a few other manufacturers except on this phone
it is really really hidden well the pixel sort of hiding the camera has been done super well
and it's really really hard to actually see if I actually bring the camera a little bit forwards
you might be able to if I can just about focus on it you might be able to just see a slight sort of
faint line there but it's really really impressive what red magic have done there to hide it away but
with that you probably actually want to know how good is the actual selfie camera on this
well I've taken the selfie snap as you can see here in my Jolly sort of way and it's okay sort
of quality and also video recording is like this on the front camera so the front camera is okay
it's okay quality you'd be able to definitely do some video calls on this but personally I
wouldn't be doing say sort of like Vlogs on this or anything like that unless you've got like a
picture in picture and this is a small little picture in the corner of the screen but I wouldn't
be doing sort of full pelts of selfie mode sort of camera recording on the front camera here
so the front-facing camera will definitely do the job for you but let's check out now what the rear
cameras are like and I actually took my phone outside to take some snaps okay they're probably
not the best quality photos in the world but do remember this is a gaming phone it's not primarily
designed for the cameras but yeah the cameras are still quite impressive and you'll definitely get
some good shots with it video recording is also the same deal have a listen here so this is the
camera it's quite stable it's quite good and the sound recordings okay I think it's okay for a
camera just to be used it's probably not the best one in the world but quality definitely does seem
okay and everything does seem quite stable too it's picking up all the sounds really really well
so then guys we're taking pictures this phone does quite a good job of it and also recording
videos as you've just seen however I probably will still be using this as my main sort of photos and
video sort of Snapper out there on a smartphone however going over to gaming on the other hand
I'm actually quite swayed by this as to actually happens as my main sort of mobile gaming sort
of phone out there over an actual iPhone all these extra bits and pieces that are actually
inside the red magic to make it a little bit more special are really really amazing like the fan for
example also the chipset also the ability to use those sort of plugins and also the shoulder pads
too also I love the idea that the camera is also hidden when I'm playing a game or if I'm watching
media on this phone for example and that's really really useful don't get me wrong I do love the
dynamic Island on the iPhone but it does get a bit in the way of my gaming sort of experience
and I do absolutely love that it's hidden away on this phone here but there we go guys that is the
red Magic 8 Pro what do you think of it I would love to know in the comments below and also guys
