Is it a Smartphone or Game Console?

So today we are checking out the latest gaming phone from Red Magic

These guys seem to take it up a notch every single time they put out another device

Now we've seen all types of improvements, not just from a performance perspective

with all kinds of crazy specs like refresh rates on displays, massive counts for things like RAM

but then also we've seen gamers specific inputs show up on some of their devices

in order to give you an edge in some of the most popular mobile games

And for myself to give me a lot more comfort if I'm spending any kind of extended time

playing a game on a small display. You can get cramped up with the only

the on-screen controls comparative to some of the cool stuff that they've been able to do

not just on device, but also through a variety of accessories that they offer up

This one is called the 7 Pro, and the color on this model is Supernova

It's got a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 because it's gotta be high performance

It's got a 6.8-inch AMOLED display, a 500 hertz gaming shoulder triggers

Those are those extra inputs that I was talking about, which just free up your hands, your thumbs actually

to do other things within the game more comfortably because now, just like on a game controller

your index fingers are responsible for your triggers. to look down the sights and of course to shoot

It gives you an advantage. 20,000 RPM turbo fan. There's actually active cooling on here

so you're not gonna see degraded performance once it starts to heat up

You've also got 65 watt GAN fast charging, 5,000 milliamp hour battery

what they're calling ICE 9.0 multi-dimensional cooling system. Prepare to enter the next dimension

Now, of course, we've got a camera system on here, but they kind of, they don't talk a lot about it

Yes, you can take pictures on here, but it's not really the core focus

Of course, you do have a dedicated game mode in the system for tweaking all kinds of settings on your phone

so that with a single switch, you can have all those settings enabled that you like when you're gaming

including the restrictions of certain notifications and certain performance aspects. You can now do that with one single switch

120 hertz display on the 6.8 inches. It is 2400 by 1080 AMOLED

The cooling system here looks comprehensive. Look at this exploded view of how it works

Composite graphene, air aluminum box, high speed turbo fan, high conducting gel, cooling air duct, the Red Magic Turbo Cooler

an optional accessory, VC heat dissipation plate, soft high conducting rare earth elements

super conducting copper foil heat dissipation plate, protective case for Red Magic 7. Yeah, it's got it all. And an upgraded air channel. Remember

don't forget the active cooling and don't forget the RGB. How dare you call yourself a gaming phone

unless you've got RGB. RGB on an active fan in your smartphone. It's a lot to ask. It is here

though. Double X-axis motors symmetrical for stronger vibration and more accurate touch

feedback during your gaming experience. You have dual stereo speakers, certified DTS-X

ultra surround sound. That's a good thing. Tougher to cover up, more immersive, one speaker for each

ear. Ah, there's also gaming projection coming soon, supporting 120 FPS wirelessly to a larger

display. They're claiming high quality and low latency. This is ambitious. I'd have to check it

but they do say that's a thing that's coming soon. Okay, let's go ahead and jump inside the package

and check out this Supernova color. First thing though, we've got a little box, a SIM tool

There is a case included to get you started with a little bit of protection

And with these cases, they've always got to be pretty unique. You have quite a set of cutouts

It also looks relatively protective. There's a bit of a material buildup

in each of the two corners, giant cutout in the center as well

Here is the device. In this case, I guess Supernova references the kind of see look so you can actually catch a glance at the inside of the device like through the device There like a transparency effect going on which to me makes the most sense on a

gaming phone. That's the type of buyer who may appreciate the ability to do this. Ooh. The main

thing you're going to be able to check out through these transparent sections is your RGB cooling fan

And as you can see above there, 20,000 RPM is represented. The way that they've kind of included fonts in here

it kind of gives it a sci-fi feel. You know, it's like labeling the variety of components

on the mechanical board that you've, there's not what's happening here, but you can picture the sci-fi vision, can't you

Instead in here, everything is embedded. Everything's integrated. 5,000 milliamp hour parallel charging

65 watt GAN capability. This is just to remind you of your spec sheet, to be honest

Cooling system, Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, an air inlet. Now, this whole region around the outside is going to be this really polished, transparent glass

And then in the middle, that's cool to the touch. That's metal. And I presume that this is going to aid to an extent in keeping the device cool

And that's probably why, even when you have the case installed, it remains exposed

Here is your camera setup up top. They say AI camera. This is a pretty small camera cutout

The camera is there because you need to have that functionality, but it is not the core focus of this phone

being a gamer-centric device. Look at this. We have protected the existence of the mini jack connector

So we have a dedicated og audio output. Extremely low latency when you're using og audio

For gaming, that's still gonna be the best solution. This side of the device here

you're gonna see your volume rocker as well as the power switch

And I guess this is going to be your exhaust section for that RGB fan

These are your shoulder buttons up top, capacitive touch buttons, but they are embedded in there a little bit

so you can feel their existence. But it's not like a major thing

that when you're just using the phone, you're kind of bugged by them. Instead, it feels like a regular phone

when you're using it as a regular phone, but then you can kind of pick up their existence

with your index fingers when you wanna use them. This side of the device

is where you get your dedicated gaming switch. This is a textured switch so you can feel it easily

It's also almost always in this red color on Red Magic devices

You flip this switch, you go straight into game mode. That's going to activate all your variety of settings

for cooling, for your display settings, for your power consumption settings, and of course, to limit your notifications

so that you can stay immersed in the game. I wanna see this charger that's included in the package

Ooh, it's not as big as I expected it to be. This is actually pretty good for a 65-watt Dan charger

And the beauty of this being included in the package is that now you got a 65-watt charger

that you can use for anything, not just to fast charge this device

but probably your laptop, your tablet, it's gonna be more than enough power

to keep those things going as well. You can actually ditch some of your other chargers

and replace them with this one. That's incredibly small for 65 Watts

Signature red and black USB type C charge cable. Oh, look at that

We are booted up. Let's go ahead and check out the screen. I knew we had more brightness there

I'm gonna turn off automatic brightness, even though that means I'm going to be using

a little bit more power. I can see that Mo has pre-installed some games for us

including PUBG Mobile, Real Racing 3. You can see that the interface has like sort of a cyborg-like feel to it

I'm going to click into the display here. Screen refresh 120. You got to appreciate that refresh

If you do want to save a little bit of battery life, you can go all the way down to 60

Plus, you have some middle ground at 90 hertz for battery savings, but still some nice performance

Now, as far as the interface is concerned, if you're familiar with Android, it's actually a pretty stock experience minus some of the widgets here that they've included

and the look of this particular dropdown. Otherwise, when you pan to the left

you getting your typical Google stuff This account right now doesn have Discover but you would see your Google Discover stuff that you would see on any other Google device when you swipe left on here And we do have a widget

It looks to be pre-installed for the game fan. We also see the number of hours spent gaming

which is kind of funny. And heart rate, it's a new form of workout

Just very intense gaming while monitoring the heart rate. Obviously you can elevate the heart rate

I don't think it's a substitute for exercise. Hate to break it to you

Now, of course, you can just click on the game from here, but more importantly, you can flip the switch

and go into the actual dedicated gaming mode. What happens here is you're gonna line up

various elements in-game, which your triggers will then activate. This will work with almost any game

If the game has a touch button for a particular function, you just remap it and it will stay saved

So the next time around, you just boot that game up and your triggers are functioning

just like a controller would on a console and you don't even need to think about it. It's a singular setup, and all of those settings remain locked and connected to that particular title

The other thing you can do now is you can actually record clip. So you can actually do some degree of streaming from here or record your own gameplays

I'm going to go ahead and turn the turbo fan on. Now, it does make a noise, kind of pick up the RGB taking place

Obviously, if it's darker, you'll see more. And as far as the sound is concerned, I'll hold it up to the mic

so you will hear it but if you want optimal performance extended optimal performance and

if you're wearing a headset well it's obviously not going to bother you we can also check out the

accessories right within the gaming app these are the external devices that you can add to this

setup including the red magic dual core cooler the ice dock which i've used in a previous video

TWS gaming earbuds, wireless like headband style earbuds and then you have the eSports handle

to give you even more tactile control with a controller like attachment

I think kind of the beauty of this is you have these trigger buttons without the need for anything external

but if you wanna turn this into like a full-fledged portable console you can do so with this variety of accessories

Okay, so let's go ahead and boot up PUBG Mobile. So the fan came on, game assist by default

Now you drag from this side over here to see what your phone is doing and how it's behaving

So it's currently in a balanced setting. That setting is gonna try to balance out

a battery consumption and performance. You can see your GPU clock, you can see your CPU

We can see our battery life here, our network activity. We can silence certain applications

WhatsApp and so forth, modify things quickly like screen refresh, record clips

turn the fan on or off. We can lock touch, we can do a game reminder

And then, of course, brightness we can quickly control as well. There's also an eco preset and a rise preset

which I believe takes performance to another level. It says, hey, your temperature is going to go up

and you're going to use a lot more battery, but I like having the options. So allow me to decide if that's a thing that I want to do

This is where we're going to program our trigger buttons. You will just move the L to the section of the game

where you want the left trigger to trigger. And same goes for the right

There's also touch sensitivity from low to high. And then we can also turn the vibration feedback on or off

if that's something that you like or don't like. I'm gonna go ahead and just pull in from the side here

and click there. See, so they're both just fire right now. But I probably want the left shoulder or trigger

to let me look down the sights and then allow the right one to actually fire

So this will now let me do this. and then fire with the other shoulder

And of course, if I didn't have the shoulder buttons, then what I would be doing is pressing here and then there

and using my thumb, but now my thumb can remain here so I can stay looking around while I'm firing

without taking my right thumb away from that function. Oh, there we go, we got a dude

She on the ground

Yeah, so it's funny. Every time I boot this thing up, I'm kind of like learning the game again

for the first few minutes, but it does make things so much easier having those dedicated buttons

It's so much more familiar and so much more equivalent to having like a dedicated gaming situation

as opposed to trying to manage all that essentially just with your thumbs

Mark the vehicle. The location. Watch out. Watch out. This one might be even better actually for this purpose

You know what's funny? The fan is going off right now. It's kind of cooling down my hand a little bit

Whoa, there we go. I should have reloaded. Ah

I should've went down the crosshairs on that one for sure. Oh, it's all four of them

Damn, walked into it. There's two. That guy spawned behind me? Oh, reload a bit faster

It could have been good. Three of them every time

There we go. That's a two for one. Ah, it could have been three

All right, so I was gaming for, oh, I don't know, maybe like half an hour

I'm not even certain. I was kind of lost in it for a moment and I was getting back in the groove

The main thing is the performance is amazing and you have this opportunity to kind of really tweak

the way that the device is working depending on what you want to get out of it

If you're having this gaming session and you really want high performance and you want to have the fan going

and you want the maximum frame rate and everything else, then you can go that direction

If you want to do some casual gaming, go on the eco mode. Of course, it's still got that huge battery in it at 5,000 milliamp hours

And you have the ability to top it up quickly now with the 65 watt GAN charger

If you're really into mobile gaming, then it's time to pay attention to devices that are specifically targeting you

because there are some advantages to it. And I know for a fact myself in those shooter games

if I was strictly on screen with the thumb back and forth

with my level of dexterity. I would not be playing anywhere near as good

It's extra inputs that other phones aren't gonna give you. This just fits in your pocket and it's always with you

So you just pop this out just like that. You've got this enhanced gaming experience

It's kind of interesting. They went with this flat design around the outside, slightly more blocky, I would say

but it's allowed them to fit in a really impressive spec sheet

Definitely an impressive spec sheet for the latest generation Red Magic device

that is the Red Magic 7 Pro Pro Vision Gaming
