So another day and another crate. I do love the smell of... I really don't know what to expect
0:09
I see your tricks
0:26
No labels No No nada looks like a damn bomb hey lou i hear you like challenges so here's one for you red magic has
0:58
been working on an impressive new device for you to unbox i see they attempted to send it to you
1:05
directly however i've intercepted the package and attached a self exploding device to give you
1:14
a bit of a challenge upon successful completion you will be granted access to the new red magic
1:20
gaming phone however fail to complete the task successfully and well you get the idea
1:28
keep calm and everything will be fine Whoa. Please register your fingerprint
1:38
Hold for 15 seconds. Fingerprint? 15 seconds. Identification successful
1:49
Timer initiated. Good luck, Lou. Oh, man
1:59
I'm getting timed. Enter the serial number of the device. Which device
2:03
This device? Is that a serial number? Exposing device identification is correct
2:17
Bomb status. Active. Timer. Initiated. Time left to diffuse. Too little. Too little
2:26
Rewire the front of the device to match the back of the device
2:32
Red, black, black, red. What? Ah! Was that going faster
2:44
Ah! We definitely have, like, wires in there. This little thing said remove this on it
2:52
Ah! 5, 2, 1, 3. what the hell is that for later always too late got lucky 10 11 12 13
3:08
ah and i need a little key this is a magnet whoa what kind of setup could be in there that this could be able to move through
3:26
but anyway we have the key so we can unlock this back plate one five six eight what a mess
3:36
i have two eight a star what is a A is one
3:43
Keep calm. One is wired to four. Break and four dots
3:54
Break four dots is six. So six needs to connect to two
4:01
This is zero, zero, eleven, which is three. And three needs to connect
4:08
Three connects to seven. What? Five goes to eight. Five goes to eight
4:15
I thought we had eight from before, but okay. Bomb rewiring successful
4:21
All connections are okay. Imagine you had to... This was your job
4:25
Good lord. Match the switches to the device timer It only four switches Red one Blue three what what do you mean when the numbers like at any point in time
4:40
one is there five is there two is there oh yeah yeah are you kidding me right now only in the seconds column
4:53
We're dead here. One on red. Oh, stop it! They're saying I was too slow for that
5:01
I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm dead
5:13
I'm actually dead. I die. You have to match the switch at the moment it's displayed in the seconds column
5:23
Four, three. Okay. Green, which is on five. Okay. Orange is next at two
5:36
Red is next at one. Explosing device sequence is correct. Timer is matching the bottom
5:43
Time is running away. Keep calm and everything will be fine. What
5:50
That's right. Calmness under stressful situation. Do you think you can do that
5:56
Let's test it. You need to lower your heartbeat when the timer goes off
6:30
Just playing with you, Lou. Your birthday is the code. My birthday is this code
6:44
This is cool. This thing is cool. I don't even want to turn off these tunes right now
6:49
Do I keep going with this soundtrack? Oof. Okay. Here we go
6:59
As usual with Red Magic, we have a very sort of science fiction type of packaging
7:06
This, of course, is the retail packaging you could expect if you pick one of these up
7:10
Look at this space stuff going on. Metallic print, which is impressive in and of itself
7:16
I'm a person who appreciates packaging, as you're aware. Lift this portion out
7:21
We have a sim tool, some paperwork, and what seems like a case
7:26
Look at that. This is the Void version. This thing has an incredibly solid feel to it
7:33
Blocky and industrial. Whoa. It's actually see-through in multiple areas. It's just that you dive deeper into the device through certain panels
7:43
The glass panel is actually somewhat see-through in pretty much every area on this device
7:48
You can see the actual vent for that fan system, which is legit
7:54
Camera module is symmetrical and in the center. Oh, wow. So there's a vent on that side also
7:59
type C connector. You also have to mention the dedicated switch for triggering the Red Magic
8:05
game mode. Still got a dedicated og audio jack because many customers of these gaming devices
8:12
want to have the low latency ease of use when connecting a gaming headset. It's available in
8:17
two configurations, matte finish, 12 gigs RAM, 256 storage, or like the one I have in front of me
8:23
which is the Void model featuring 16GB of RAM and 512 storage
8:27
The display 6.8-inch FHD+, and a refresh rate of up to 120Hz
8:32
and touch sampling at 960Hz. Multi-touch, very important specification for gamers. Resolution 2480x1116 in a 20x9 aspect ratio
8:44
Display is also AMOLED with 1300 nits of max brightness. Camera system is a Samsung GN5 sensor at 1 over 1.57 inches and that's 50 megapixel capable
8:56
Of course, you've also got an ultrawide in there and a maximum aperture of f1.88
9:01
This thing will shoot video at up to 8K 30 frames per second That is Mo there is Jack there is Casper Mo is testing as well this is the expression he gives when you bring a camera close by he goes aw jeez and then you can toggle that back to 4k at
9:21
60 frames if you want more frames the battery a dual unit 6 000 milliamp hours charging back up
9:28
at 65 watt maximum using the included 65 watt gan quick charger since this is a flagship competitor
9:36
you do have snapdragon 8 gen 2 here is that charger that i mentioned 65 watt capable and yes
9:43
it's in the package pretty compact for a 65 watt capable and the bonus here the nice thing about
9:49
this is that you're going to be able to recharge other devices beyond your smartphone because you
9:53
have 65 watts if you have an ultrabook you can use this tiny little power brick and a usb c
9:58
cable to charge that up as well. One charger to rule them all, one charger to put in your pocket
10:02
Type C cable here is Red Magic Red and it's C to C on both ends which is nice and convenient
10:09
So that snaps on incredibly easily. It gives you a little bit of protection, maximum exposure still
10:14
for your capacitive shoulder buttons. It's just something to get you up and running. We also have matte version of the device. Quick comparison. Now this is obviously going to be the
10:25
more budget-oriented option considering the fact that it also comes with the 12 gigs of RAM and 256
10:31
storage. Now the unboxing experience here should be identical. That's a much more low-key version
10:39
A slightly more slippery, I would say. I mean, they're both incredibly sleek. Yeah, I guess this
10:45
is just appealing to those that want the most stealth look. So you still get some RGB and you
10:50
still indicate that you have a gaming specific device. All right, let's go ahead and boot this
10:56
up. And of course, I want to check the quick charge animation. Oh, wow. That is quite an
11:02
impressive screen to body ratio and very symmetrical. So satisfying. It is so squared
11:10
off. There's always some type of curvature, some sort of trickery going on with displays. This is
11:16
the most rectangular just you're just holding a screen right to the point plug in the charger
11:21
what we actually have audio effects on the max charge look at it go in real time
11:26
what did you hear it went you didn't hear that it's like you just started up a motor they took it to another level it's beautiful you got a fast
11:41
charger included in the package and the other thing is you can actually use the cooling fan
11:45
sure enough you can throw that on fan on to reduce heating and look at it there it goes now you can
11:53
have this set to auto mode you can also go to maximum speed for fast cooling turn off the light
11:58
effect if you want you can have it auto start and you can change this the fan start sound
12:03
that's just fun that's just adding some fun in
12:12
We are in maximum brightness here. You can see you get a warning for high battery use
12:17
That's fine. I like this. We can actually lock it at 120 hertz. You can also set it to 90 hertz for a combination of fast refresh and battery savings
12:25
Let's go ahead and actually hit this switch since the big thing here is the fact that
12:30
this is gaming oriented. This should launch us into the gaming mode, as you can tell
12:37
Vibration feedback going into there. The speaker is legit. Well, you know what
12:41
Let's get a taste for it. So we have legit stereo speakers
12:49
I plug one, I get the other. This is going to allow you to tweak whether or not notifications are going to come through
12:55
If you want to overclock the device, what you want the fan behavior to be
12:58
Immediately brings us into our game lobby. Let's us go into a plug-in library, Red Magic Studio
13:04
Even further potential for cooling like the Red Magic Turbo Cooler, Dual Core Cooler, IC Dock
13:11
If we want to add other accessories like fully wireless earbuds, we do have our capacitive touch buttons
13:18
For shoulder buttons, a better feel even as it is, even without adding any kind of external accessory
13:23
Touch sampling rate, which we can change. It'll affect power consumption. Inside of performance, this is our overclocking capability for the CPU and GPU
13:32
GPU settings standard power saving high quality or even a custom setting which is look at this texture filter quality multi and anti Like oh my goodness gracious oh wow you even have dedicated settings for the types of games you play so the car setting looks
13:51
like it's for racing games increased color saturation shooting games is going to up the
13:56
brightness so you can see darker areas where enemies are better contrast and color saturation
14:02
for multiplayer games, settings for recording your gameplay up to 60 frames. And the sound on here is
14:09
good. Whoa, this is your overlay when you're in an actual game and you can see your performance
14:18
You also have the ability to control your notifications that come through, network performance
14:24
macros, 4D vibrate settings, key remapping, sound equalizer, refresh, fan performance, recording your gameplay
14:33
So as you'll see now, the benefit here is I can keep my thumbs doing my nav
14:41
controlling where I'm looking and walking and moving and then I can use the shoulder buttons
14:46
for the crosshairs or to fire. Ooh, that's cool. I can feel the vibration from the direction of the gunfight
14:56
I saw somebody over here I don't believe they're with my team
15:03
Oh, maybe they are. Oh, never mind. Who's firing? What
15:18
How did I miss that dude? I guess I didn't miss him, because he's dead
15:27
Now here's something that didn't initially strike me, and they didn't even really make a big deal of
15:33
but under display camera, there's no front facing camera. Maybe that's why I felt like, oh, sick
15:38
it's just all screen. Whoa, whoa. The emphasis of the phone is obviously gaming
15:48
and less so around the cameras. I think this is usable, but the more impressive part
15:52
It's just how much they hit it. It's hidden. Let's go over to video mode. So this is going to be your 1X setting
15:59
And here is going to be your ultra wide. You get a couple different options there
16:04
I think the main camera is going to be the one that you want to use on here
16:08
Obviously, there's HDR filters. They've got a pro mode. Lots of different features
16:12
Macro, stuff like that. Now, I believe on this device, like some others, we're going to be able to use in-display fingerprint or face unlock
16:20
First, let's do fingerprint. Ooh. Not too bad
16:29
What about face? So I'm here. Doesn't see my face. Face. Oh
16:36
Doesn't. Bang! Sees me there. Doesn't see me. Wham! Sees me there
16:41
Crazy fast face unlock. The cool part here is you don't have to stare at an actual front facing camera
16:48
It's one of the most hidden ones I've ever seen before. Man, this thing, it's a pretty cool package, no doubt
16:55
You get a real full screen experience without interruption, no notch. Tons of battery life in the form of two separate 3,000 mAh cells
17:04
So 6,000 mAh of total battery life. A 120Hz refresh on a large 6.8 inch display Snapdragon 8 Gen 2
17:12
Lots of storage, lots of RAM, and a design that's really exclusive
17:17
Where a lot of stuff feels the same. This is definitely not that
17:21
dedicated switch for game modes, and then just tons of configuration capability
17:26
so you can really tweak it to serve you in the way that you want
17:30
If you're a person that likes to get in there and manually have your different settings, if you want your notifications to turn off
17:35
when you go into game mode, a really versatile package. Could be the new gaming champion
17:41
I would pick it up in the Void Model, brand new Red Magic 8 Pro
17:51
Thank you
