The Ultimate Gaming Phone

is this the ninth generation expect such a cyborg looking thing holy cow

just gaming couple of gamers doing a little bit of gaming on my gaming phone got a problem with

that oh it's been a while since we've seen these guys red magic famous for the gaming phones the

ultimate gaming phones and specs and it's a bit of a surprise i've actually got two of them here

One of them has 16 gigs of RAM where the other one is 12 and this one has 512 storage versus 256

Also, the colors look different. Sleet versus Snowfall. Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, 6.8-inch AMOLED display

520 Hertz gaming shoulder triggers. So we have those touch-sensitive shoulder triggers again

20K RPM turbo fan, 6,500 milliamp hour battery, 80 watt fast charging and a 16 megapixel under display camera so let's crack these open

i think they're going to give us a case here they often give you extras it is a case and it has a

portion of the sides exposed and this is important because you have those touch sensitive shoulder

buttons so you need to have that exposure on either side paperwork sim tool so once again

they have this mechanical looking spaceship anime type of look and this is very slab like it's

extremely rectangular look at this so this panel is actually somewhat see-through dedicated switch

with a texture and the red color another button above that that's going to be your power button

sort of where your thumb aligns. Volume rocker above there. Here are those capacitive touch shoulder buttons

which are gonna enhance your gameplay for certain games. We've also got a dedicated headphone jack

which is a huge bonus, especially for a gaming phone. We have cooling for our fan as well

Camera layout on the back, but not protruding at all. Instead, recess

USB-C on the bottom for rapid charging. In this case, they say 80 watt rapid charging

So that's kind of good. Power cable is red and black. I think this is typical for Red Magic

I kinda like the rectangular monolithic type of look plus it means that it can stand up on its own Now the next unit Sleet is the color here

Oh, it's like a matte black finish. Maybe slightly more executive as far as gaming phones go

This one has a 50 megapixel indicator here. Otherwise, everything is the same

Maybe it's not completely matte. It's kind of more of a satin, and it doesn't even have a texture to it. Listen

so two specs two different colors and obviously two different price points associated as well

i don't know which one i would choose if i was gonna have a daily driver gaming phone but

obviously when it comes to being eye-catching this one wins you've got that see-through aspect

i mean it just looks more unique and that's kind of the reason you're getting a gaming phone in the

first place refresh a few options here auto is selected by default but let's lock it at 120

60, 90 can also be locked. We're going to go with 120

So they've opted for an under-display camera on the front, obviously prioritizing the immersion for the gameplay itself

Did you hear the speaker on that unit? I'm going to switch it to game mode

Watch this. That whole unit has a haptic aspect going on as well

It was a lot of sound coming in and it's stereo configuration. We're going to throw the fan on right now

Cool. So it's got like that magenta glow on the fan unit

I can see it through the grill here But Mo can also see it through the back

Where this portion looks like it's a camera cutout But in reality it shows you your cooling fan

Which how many phones have a visible RGB cooling fan? This is some of the most immersive audio that I have heard on a smartphone Holy

So when you're inside this game mode, it's sort of, well, obviously it's everything you need for

your gaming. You can add any title into this database here. You have specific settings for

your fan. If you want to do screencasting, use a game controller, you can use a keyboard and mouse

So check out the game mode config. I can select a number of different performance settings. You can

see the clock speed for the cpu and gpu i can set up a charge bypass if i don't want all that extra

heat charging the battery game pads rgb everything in here and i can still see the games i can modify my settings while still monitoring my gameplay all right so now that i on the ground I going to want to line up my triggers for this particular game Now this will be saved Now you can map this however you think you can get an advantage so this seems pretty

obvious to me. Left shoulder button, get your aim. Boom. Right shoulder button. And I still got my

thumbs oh somebody's shooting at me good where are you bro now you're dead but that's the thing i

mean that's really what it's about with these phones is it's like what if you start from the

premise of gaming experience yeah you're gonna have a camera sure your phone can do everything

a phone does snapdragon 8 gen 3 over there but what if you start from the premise of how do we

make a good gaming phone make everything else work around that and that's what they do every

single year and continue to do here. What are you going to need for gaming? You're going to add some

triggers. We got it. You're going to have a dedicated game mode. You're going to need to cool the thing

down. You're going to have a fast refresh. And here's one that's hard to get. You're going to have

a massive battery. I'm not talking about 5,000 milliamp hours. I'm talking about 6,500. And then

you're going to need to be able to charge it quickly. Well, we're doing that here as well, because we got the 80 watt power brick and the dual cell setup. And then obviously the other

consideration is aesthetic. You're probably not going to want a phone that looks like every single

other phone on the market. Instead, you're going to want something unique. In this case

something configurable where you can actually select your own RGB settings. It's also a big

phone. The display is like nicer to hold because of that. Get your hands spread out a little more

Your thumbs occupy less of the real estate. Oh, there we go

These bots. Unbelievable, huh? Now, there are some other advantages to having something like

a game mode which is that when you're gaming you can have it set up so you don't get the same

notifications you normally would when you're outside that mode and having this dedicated switch lets you know like certainly hey i am in that gaming mode now and i know what my settings

are i don't need to tweak it every time like turn on do not disturb or turn off notifications it's

going to be configured each time you switch this little tab plus it's going to be a decent

multimedia phone because watching video is kind of similar to gameplay in the sense that video

tends to use a lot of battery life it fills the display it can heat the phone up as well so cooling

it down having a big battery and having capable speakers that's going to enhance your video

watching experience as well so as you guys know in the past honestly with the video is where i begin to appreciate no front camera cut out like when i just see that full picture like that and like nothing you normally

have something up here or in the corner or some kind of notch now it's not that they neglected to

put it in there it is in there but it's hiding underneath the display so if i flip this around

you can see it's still in there it's just that they've prioritized other things because there

are drawbacks with under display cameras which are evident it's looking through a screen it's

a reason it hasn't been adopted across the board it will work it'll take the image and you can do

your video conferencing if you need to but it's not going to be the prettiest thing compared to

some other options that are out there plus they hit me with the beauty mode on that let's try that

again they hit me with the heavy beauty i still feel like i'm getting beautified over there uh

we'll flip it around to the back i think the back is is actually a decent camera here we have a

couple of different options there's a 14 mil and a 24 mil many pixels there you go but again there's

lots of phones that have nice cameras not so many phones with shoulder buttons and rgb fans and

6500 milliamp hour batteries that's the core focus here that's what you're going to be looking at

this for and the funny thing is these have been some of the more affordable top tier top spec

snapdragon devices that are out there so some people who just want fast processing and maybe

less emphasis on camera are also going to be looking at these red magic devices but you know

who it's really about it's primarily about those gamers that are going to take advantage of those

added features get that tremendous battery life and have a kind of a special look to go with it as

well let me know down in the comments which of these two you would go for which one do you prefer

do you like the look of this guy this is the snowfall with that kind of transparent situation

going on or are you more stealth are you looking at this one here the sleet there you can see it

It does have some cool reflections happening in there, but that's extremely stealth black

So which one would you go for? And what game would you play on it? Let me know down in the comments

Max charge, and it got carried away with the charge animations and sounds
