would you look at that another contender emerges a new phone from red magic and i got good news
0:09
actually going to be giving this one away so make sure to subscribe to the channel and leave a
0:13
comment down below with your twitter handle for your chance to win this actual unit this is the
0:18
red magic 6 racing and i think you're going to be interested in it because it's packing a snapdragon
0:24
triple eight in it and i'm told the starting price is going to be 499 which maybe we're having a
0:31
little moment here where the value for money the flagship killer conversation has been revitalized
0:38
because you're having flagship chips inside of lower priced uh smartphones so that's kind of
0:43
cool now this one is also a gaming smartphone so it's also got a 144 hertz display 6.67 inch amoled
0:50
and it has those shoulder trigger buttons which of course i'll showcase later in this video
0:55
it's very helpful and a lot more comfortable especially if your hands get cramped up or if
1:04
you have large hands or whatever and you don't want to be i mean it can get uncomfortable on
1:09
the smartphone trying to get all your buttons in there the shoulder buttons i mean i've i played
1:13
with this in the past it's it's a big difference so for some reason this one is called the red
1:17
Magic 6 racing. I presume that there's a couple of different versions of it
1:22
Other features listed on a box, 30 watt fast charging. And the model I have appears to be silver
1:28
with 12 gigs of RAM and 256 storage. So that's pretty impressive as well
1:33
I don't have a knife. You might be out of the way at the back there
1:39
All right, see. So as usual, we have the very gamer graphic on the front, cyborg-ish
1:53
They've had this red theme for a while, red magic. All right, first things first, a little bit of paperwork and probably, yes, a case to get you started
2:06
This is pretty simple stuff. it's one of these clear style cases but it's nice to have a little extra sim card tool is in there
2:15
as well here is the device and as i said this is the silver model i actually kind of like the shape
2:24
of the camera cut out that's quite a few camera units as well test those out in a moment this is
2:29
the silver finish oh wow and it's got a number of tones to it so it's kind of got a transformer
2:38
thing going on with this variety of shapes and patterns and the way that those reflect red magic
2:45
in the center darker mirrored portion up near the camera and 64 megapixel ai quad camera is what
2:54
they say there oh looking around the device what do we have here all right so on this side this is
3:00
the fun side because you have your shoulder buttons these are capacitive touch buttons but
3:04
there's this little ridge on the edge so you can kind of rest your finger off the trigger as well
3:10
and then kind of come down like bang like this these are very effective you can map them in a
3:15
number of games they work really well for uh shooter games racing games things like this your
3:20
power switch is in this location volume rocker is above there on the bottom you have your speaker
3:25
usb type c connector there's your sim tray it has this kind of nice concave to it around the edges
3:34
and I'm noticing right away as well that they've gone for a symmetrical front-facing camera
3:39
So the selfie cam is in the center. It's not off to the side. Also in a package, you're going to find a power brick
3:46
and as mentioned, it is a 30 watt capable power brick. As far as fast charging goes, glossy black finish to it
3:54
Actually looks a little more premium than you might be used to. And then the red and black charge cable as well So this is USB to USB They also included a little adapter for a wired headset so no headphone jack on a device but they do give you type c to headphone which is important
4:11
for gaming phones many want the the lowest latency possible for their audio and a wired headset gives
4:17
you that it's interesting the front-facing camera has a tiny metallic ring around it which you don't
4:24
always see all right so let's take a closer look at this display here 6.67 inches fhd plus yes it is
4:33
oled and yes it is a 144 hertz refresh rate which is what you will be looking for in any top tier
4:41
smartphone never mind a gaming smartphone where you really want to see those fast refresh rates
4:46
now you don't have to run it at 144 as i'll show you in a minute here but this just gives you a
4:52
nice idea look at this shot by the way how about this shot give uh mo a thumbs up for that or
4:57
something like did you see the way we moved into the display and then out of it and it was the
5:01
triangles and whatnot anyways yes refresh rate from 60 hertz all the way up to 144 obviously when
5:09
you're in 144 you're gonna be consuming a little bit more battery so i like the flexibility here
5:14
and more options to select from 60 90 120 and 144 whichever is optimal for your circumstance
5:21
like what you can do is have the game mode just trigger the 144 if that's easier for you and then
5:27
leave it in a slower refresh if you want to prioritize battery life when you're not gaming
5:30
but i like a fast refresh everywhere now as far as unlocking it yes you have an in-display
5:35
fingerprint scanner as you can see here and a number of animations to choose from so you get
5:40
the right unlock to your taste this one is like a kind of explosion of sorts like a solar explosion
5:46
the power brick as mentioned 30 watt capable and a fast recharge and you know i gotta show off
5:54
the animation here you can see this tiny little this glowing green orb that travels up and yeah
6:02
it's fast recharge so you can watch it go up in almost real time there's some other slight tweaks
6:08
to the device gaming centric tweaks around how the software looks and just just some visual like
6:15
appearance based things but otherwise i mean you're running android underneath it all you can
6:20
change things about the way to always on display looks and so forth plus i should probably mention
6:26
at this point you're dealing with some pretty early software here on the model that i'm using but
6:30
end of the day you're dealing with a snapdragon triple eight you're dealing with either eight or
6:36
12 gigs of ram 128 or 256 of storage and the battery i should mention as well 4200 milliamp
6:44
so we have so many phones competing for that champion status at the moment and red magic is
7:12
coming in with an impressive spec sheet itself now the big difference here as far as being a
7:17
gaming phone is the extra input method now you have these capacitive triggers which uh shoulder
7:24
buttons i guess which i'll show off later in the video i will be doing some gaming so no worries
7:29
on that but otherwise you're dealing with a pretty typical smartphone layout and it doesn't feel all
7:34
that different from any other smartphone which is good because when it's in your pocket you're using
7:38
it just as a phone and not for gaming you don't necessarily need to be reminded that it is a
7:43
gaming exclusive phone granted if you want to take it even further in the gaming direction
7:48
there's even a bunch of accessories and things that you can add to it which i'll show some of
7:52
those off also as the video progresses now you do have a number of camera modules on here you
7:58
probably saw that quad camera setup on the back and you going to see a few samples here at different zoom ranges and a couple of kind of unusual features software features that are built in here as well they kind of like effects but there also some slow motion with
8:14
some crazy frame rates if you're willing to drop resolution uh probably the usable one here is 240
8:21
fps there is a night mode also baked in there as you can see able to turn complete darkness into
8:28
is something that's somewhat usable. And then full manual controls as well
8:34
If you're the type that likes to dive in and just get really granular with your settings
8:39
you can do that too. And now as far as like fun features
8:45
that are in the camera app, you can see this magnifier is pretty cool
8:50
So it sort of moves the macro focus point around the texture
8:58
now you've also got this uh diffusion effect which kind of is has a dreamy look to it this
9:12
one is called overlying it takes it's like a big version of what you're looking at in a small one
9:19
which is overlaid on top of course we had to do the beard hair test on a selfie camera as well
9:27
and here's that slow motion example that i was talking about so 240 fps is the most useful
9:33
so here's the usual lighter effect in slow-mo at 240
9:43
now as far as regular video without the slow-mo you can shoot up to 4k ultra hd 4k 4k at 60 fps
9:54
is even in there as well oh there you go ultra hd 8k recommended for outdoor you see i mean you
10:00
have the snapdragon triple eight in here most likely people are going to be using 4k 4k up to
10:05
60 fps you can see it's actually fairly smooth chasing casper around over here so i mean if you
10:13
need to say file size you can go lower resolution or or a lower frame rate but it can do 4k 60
10:18
as mentioned you can accessorize this device with a number of attachments including a cooler unit and
10:26
external controls but you might not even need them because this does have those capacitive
10:32
shoulder buttons on there already so you might not even need an external joystick but if you
10:36
if you game a lot on your smartphone then those attachments can take things to another level i've
10:41
tried them in the past and it can make things a lot more comfy for extended gaming sessions
11:17
AHHHHH! AHHHHH! AHHHHH! Grenade
11:27
U.A.V. recon standing by. U.A.V. recon standing by. U.A.V. recon standing by
11:35
Be advised. Hostile hunter-killer drone inbound. out
11:55
i don't know but i i spent a lot of this round um setting things up so
12:07
Oh they have a shield after they spawn right Yeah I had the setup wrong I I had uh there these two separate there down the sites one one click down the
12:19
sites and then there's also down the sites without shooting and then blind
12:26
fire button and they're all separate buttons so I just had to set up the
15:53
oh 50 49 oh oh that was a tighter match than before man whoa so i had to get all the kills as
16:08
well by the looks of it oh there we go 37
