what's happening everyone my name is alex and welcome back so nubia is back with another
super powerful gaming phone the one that we have today it's called the red magic 7.
this is a phone that's using the latest snapdragon cpu and 18 gigs of ram you heard
that right this one has 18 gigs of ram it has more ram than my gaming laptop which is pretty insane
now you can get this phone with less ram and less internal storage than i have i have the version of
256 gigs of internal storage so pretty much i have the top of the line for this particular device
now for those of you that like benchmark scores this device gets an antutu benchmark score of over
a million this is definitely the highest score that i have seen so far and i can easily tell you
that this is the fastest phone that i have used so far now if you've seen the red magic phones that
we got last year well this one is pretty similar it kind of looks similar and the biggest changes
are on the inside so this one the red magic 7 is more powerful and it has better cooling now
even the previous phone was super powerful and had really good cooling so this one gets a fan
just like the previous one so you actually have a fan that spins inside there and you can feel
the air coming out of the phone so that's how the phone keeps cool because this latest snapdragon
cpu that we have inside this phone runs pretty hot but with the help of that fan of course is
going to stay cool for longer periods of time so if you want to play for like four hours you
can definitely do it to the phone like this one on the front we have a 6.8 inch amoled screen on
the 1080p resolution and 165 hertz refresh rate now if you're gonna be using the phone with that
high refresh rate of course it will use a lot of power so if you want the battery to last you a
longer period of time i highly recommend that you lower that refresh rate maybe to like 90
hertz for me personally i do enjoy playing games even at 90 hertz but it really depends on you
and i guess if you're getting a gaming phone you may want to use it at its full potential
but again if you're using it at the maximum refresh rate you will use more power
inside this phone we also have a 4 500 milliamp hour battery now on one charge you can typically
get between four and seven hours of screen on time once again it depends what you're doing
with the phone because if you're just watching videos you can easily get six or seven hours of
screen on time but if you're playing games and you're playing games with a screen set at the
maximum refresh rate of course you're not gonna be getting that six or seven hours of screen time
so it really depends how you're using the phone the phone also supports 65 watt fast charging so
charging this from zero to 100 is done in about an hour and under the battery settings there we
also have a setting where the battery doesn't charge so you can keep the phone plugged in
and the battery doesn't charge you can just use the power from the power adapter to play games for
example and that helps with the heating because if you're constantly charging the battery of course
the phone will get hotter but if you enable that option you can basically have it plugged in and
the phone is not gonna charge so you can just play with it plugged in if you want and as i said that
will help with heating like in the previous years the phone's body is made out of metal
at the top here we have a 3.5 mil audio jack you do get great sound if you plug in some headphones
and of course when you're gaming it's always best to have a 3.5 mil audio jack so you can actually
use headphones with it on the left hand side here we have the gaming mode button we also have those
holes for the exhaust fan so the fan that we have inside it we have the volume buttons at the bottom
we have the slot for the sim card this device can take two sim cards at the same time but you cannot
use an sd card with it so definitely get the version that has enough storage for
your needs because you're not going to be able to expand that internal storage we have the
usbc charging port and the holes for the second speaker so the device has two speakers one at
the bottom here and one at the top and once again these are some of the loudest speakers that i've
heard on any smartphone up until now on the right hand side here again we have the holes for that
inside fan and we also have the power button now on this same side we have um two buttons
that you can customize for gaming but i'm going to show you a bit more about those later on in
the video but you can basically set those buttons to do anything that you'd normally be doing on the
screen in whatever game you're playing the back of the phone is made out of transparent glass
and behind that glass we do have some stickers that will basically show you the specs of the
device something cool i guess but those are just stickers so wherever you see the snapdragon logo
there that's not exactly where the cpu is that's just a sticker but you can definitely see that
fan and you can see that fan spinning the fan also has some leds around it so you can have those leds
on or off and we have another led at the bottom here which makes the phone look a bit more like
a gaming phone i'm gonna say we also have three cameras on the back there we have the main camera
we have an ultra wide camera another camera that's used for portrait mode pictures and these are some
examples of pictures that i took with this device during the day and of course at night now i've
also done a video camera comparison video between this phone and the iphone 13 and if you want to
see more examples of pictures and videos that i took with this and my iphone 13 i will leave a
link to that video in the video's description or on the top right corner so for cameras if you do
have plenty of light i feel the phone does great it has a lot of potential for that main camera
if it gets dark if you are taking pictures at night even though we have a night mode well the
phone doesn't do as good as other flagships on the market there but for daytime pictures i feel
that it does um great now for video recordings i was a bit disappointed so you can record in
8k with this device now what you're seeing on the screen right now it's 4k at 30 frames per second
ah so the colors in those videos don't look anywhere as they should be looking so those palm
trees for example shouldn't look reddish so that is the same issue that we've had with the previous
red magic 7 now i'm hoping that this will be solved with the future software update but as of
now that's how the video quality is of course you could always edit those videos but it's ideal if
you don't actually have to edit those videos that you film so the cameras are still pretty average
on this device i'm gonna say the phone also runs the red magic os version five which is based on
android 12 and compared to previous red magic phones that i've had i haven't actually noticed
any bugs with this particular build so i'm very happy to see that however i did get two
updates since i had this phone so hopefully it will get even better with the future software
updates everything that you do with this phone is extremely fast and as i said this is the fastest
phone that i have tried so far so opening apps is super fast switching in between apps is super
fast keeping as many apps as you want running in the bag around them is possible because you
do have 18 gigs of ram but in all fairness no android phone can actually use 18 gigs of ram
so having 18 gigs of ram in a phone is a bit pointless in many ways but i guess it
gives you bragging rights because there are no other phones out there that have 18 gigs of ram
well i think there are like two or three other phones that have 18 gigs of ram but most phones
out there don't have 18 gigs of ram but overall this is the fastest phone that i have ever tried
of course you can play any game you want at the maximum graphic settings for any game there is
nothing that will slow this phone down as i said this is the most powerful phone out there that fan
on the back of the phone will also keep the phone cool even if you play for extended periods of time
now of course the phone does get hot whenever you're playing for like two or three hours of the
time but i haven't noticed the phone lagging even when it gets hot so that fan on the back there
definitely helps with the cooling you also have that gaming mode where you can customize a bunch
of things you can record the screen so if you want to share your um gameplay for example on social
media you can do it there you can customize those buttons at the top there from the gaming mode so
you do have a lot of options if you are playing a lot of games and i guess that is the main point of
this device for people that do play a lot of games on their phones so as i've said earlier if you've
tried other red magic phones in the past not a lot has changed to this one of course this one is more
powerful and has somewhat better cooling but even the previous red magic phone that i've tried had
really good cooling and was quite powerful as well so not a lot has changed i mean we still have the
same in-screen fingerprint scanner you can easily unlock the phone with your finger if you want
so a lot from the previous models is still here but this one is more powerful if you're into games
if you play a lot of games this one will do good for anything but if you don't play as many games
a phone like this may be overkill i mean sure you can still open facebook you can
still open instagram on a phone like this but having 18 gigs of ram and never using those
18 gigs of ram will be a bit of a shame so if you're looking for probably the most powerful
phone out there the red magic 7 is definitely a phone that you should consider all right guys
hopefully this video was useful thanks for watching and i'll see you in the next one
