I don't care about taking photos that much.
So the Red Magic wins for me, especially with that beast of a battery.
The only thing I don't like, is no option to get the opaque version of the phone on the higher ram/storage options.
Not much of a fan of the transparent back, especially when the previous model can get dust under the glass.
I upgraded from an Rog phone to the Redmagic 9 pro. So far it's amazing and the build quality is top notch. CONSOLE MODE!!! Never buying a ROG Phone ever again.
@@DASOMILITIA I've never broken a phone before.
Generally I've given them to others in pretty decent condition.
My biggest potential issue is software support though.
@@DASOMILITIA Or just take care of your shit...
@@DASOMILITIA Who actually buys parts to repair their phones?
The rog phone has a smaller battery but is also more efficient, so unless there's given data, I'm pretty sure they would last the same amount of time, on average.
Here's a summary
Nubia REDMAGIC 9 pro
the +
- All around screen with invisible selfie cam (around 93% of screen)
- the RGB fan at the back
- the cameras at the back are like fused to the phone (perfect symetry)
- the design (good old brick like)
- snapdragon 8gen3 + Red core chip for image processing in game and haptic feedback
- Headphone Jack with DTS x Sound + snapdragon sound
- loud speakers (but probably not as précise as the rog phone 8 pro)
- Ludicrous/Diablo Mode (now accessible throught the game plugins, guarantees the phone to substain max clock on both Cpu and Gpu while playing)
- Emulation stellar performance
- good call quality
- overall smoothness
- 120 hz
- A Big Ass 6500 mah
- Ultra eco battery mod
- Price to performance (650 for 256go or 799 for 512go)
- above average cameras (at the back)
- bloat free
- shoulder triggers (although the asus rog phones air triggers are better for customisation)
- haptic feedback
- gaming switch
- 2 years of Major android update + 2 years of security updates (confirmed with the redmagic support)
the -
- 1600 nits peak brightness (while the rog phone 8 pro is over 2000)
- the speakers could be more precise (they are very good for gaming but not so much for music)
- Android major updates policy
- translations (about 95% have been fixed)
- Usable but still terrible selfie cam
- Redmagic camera app (needs a GCAM for better quality)
- Needs an update for better heat reductions (apparently the chinese version had it fixed but EU must wait to get that update)
- certains games (mostly no one knows games, arent compatible yet with the phone)
- Android updates only every 3 months (like samsung used to do with their tablets back in the day)
- The design while looking high tech is not appealing for your average consumer
- the shoulder triggers are not as pleasing to activate compare to the air triggers
What would you guys say, with this comparison, is the better phone? I am leaning to the Remagic now due to the 6500mah battery but I have no idea about the nubia quality.
@@MojomanultraI'd say the Red magic will be a better gaming phone, because of the fan, screen, and battery, but the ROG will be the better overall phone, when you take gaming out of the equation. And that's because of the cameras and software updates.
@@mistamaog those are good points, I think for gaming both would be good choices but the Nubia battery size is tempting.
what about summary for Asus ROG 8 Pro?
RedMagic 9Pro is the clear winner for me. Aesthetic wise, we're talking Gaming Phone here. ROG phone 8 series have just became a typical overpriced smartphone lol
I have the Red Magic and the battery charges in less than 20 min. It's insane how good the battery is on the Red Magic Pro.
@BooredAtWork hi, great video
great video
in terms of performance (not just peak performance but also stability) which phone is better between this rog phone8 (with xmode but without cooler) and redmagic 9 pro in diablo mode(with fan on)? also, did you found any bug in redmagic os?
thank you very much keep it up
Just the video I'm interested in. I was looking at these two.
This is the best comparison video between both beasts, very informative and fun to watch! Thank you❤
the only one lol
Screen alone, red magic. I dont game on mobile but that all screen is a pleasure to look at. I dont care about the mediocre front cam.
I'd say the screen is the only thing that the red magic really loses at, it wins in pure performance, but the display isn't nearly as good, slightly higher res, unnoticeable at the pixel density, much lower refresh rate, way lower brightness, and is so much less responsive for general tasks just because of the refresh rate. Yeah it has a tiny camera island but the instant fingerprint reader makes up for it. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to hate on your opinion, I just feel like it's the wrong place. No offence.
165hz phone screen as of right now is a gimmick, nothing more. All it does is suck up your phone's battery during normal use. No games support it and even if there are , i will be SUPERBLY impressed if any phone can hold a stable 165hz for more than 30 minutes, let alone for hours of constant gaming.
On PC it's fine, because you can upgrade down the road, but you can't upgrade your phone's internal components.
@@andrewtimothy9792 If it was 120 vs 240, then there would be a point there, but the difference between 120 and 165 is nothing.
8.33ms to 6.06ms going from 120 to 165. Compared to 4.17ms at 240. There really is no comparison.
@@teapouter6109 true, but even then, i would still think higher refresh rate screen is just a gimmick...FOR NOW at least. With our current phone technology, there arent any games that can support that high of a refresh rate, and even if it can, it would be a miracle if the phone doesnt throttle in less than like 30 minutes
@@andrewtimothy9792 The higher refresh rate would exclusively be for navigation.
Additionally, I'm not sure how well social media apps/web browsers support higher refresh rates.
I speak from a Windows perspective when I say that 240Hz, for navigation alone, feels a lot better than 120Hz, and in games it's ooof, it's amazing. Though I am not arguing that Android phones will be able to play games at 240Hz anytime soon.
Great review! BTW how did you get the Red magic with the DAO and chinese character (hanzi) below the fan? It seems absent on their global web store :(
I swear you’re like the most underrated tech tuber. Love that your videos focus on gaming too. Keep up the grind king
Im currently using the redmagic 9pro it doesnt disappoint trust me. I think its better then the rog 8 by far especially considering i paid £560 for the rm while the rog8 cost £1099
Fr I choose red magic over rog anyday
ROG 8 does not feel like a gaming phone, more like a regular phone
I got to disagree, in my opinion I'd pick the ASUS mainly because it has water and dust resistance. The red magic does not. Furthermore it has a hole punch camera which will take way better photos than under display. I say that because no phones so far has been taken better photos than a hole punch so far at least. In addition, I like the design better and the fact that it has two charging ports so you can charge faster. This is my opinion of why I disagree with you and I think the Asus is better
@@echobird115 price is having a huge factor here and for the Pro model I'd rather buy a foldable like Z Fold from Samsung at that point
@@user-dg3vr2kw3o that’s a Fairpoint, but one of the main reasons why it’s so expensive is because of that water and dust resistance. In my case, I’m always in the area where my phone and everything in my pockets gets dusty and sometimes wet, I work in construction. Furthermore, If I had the red magic, and I got dust in that fan, I’m screwed, it’s over. Therefore, the price of having water and dust resistance I’d find more important.
Even right now the performance results are slightly similar...i dont care cameras and as we know there will be red magic 9S pro(overclocked) like previous versions, so..for me RM is winner

a battery test would be so good, great video
Agreed, the rog phone 8 is way more efficient than the 7 but has a smaller battery, so it lasts the same amount of time. Can't really know which is better without tests that shows how long it lasts, and how fast it charges, don't forget bigger battery = longer charge tjme
@@furioustester4056Redmagic has a faster charge time and a bigger battery, please don't compare battery
Redmagic all the way....with the current price there is no competition. Big win for RM. I have the cyclone model. Super happy.
i used to have the rm3 and rm5 but only went back to my note/ultra because of the camera. its dreadfull in todays tech-age. besides the camera the phone is a beast!
Yes yes..I too have Cyclone and best beast I thik.
I'm undecided between that model or the sleet model. But I hear those models with the clear glass back (cyclone and snowfall) get dust under them, have you gotten any?

Check Asus ROG phone 9 and comeback
I have the red magic 9 pro here in the west coast, I enjoy the changes from a different phone.
It seems to me like the Asus is the overall better phone. But the redmagic is so close, and with starting prices that are $500 apart, Asus isn't offering enough more to make up that price difference.
The why some graphic options are not available in other phone is that the game is not yet optimized for that specific game especially since 8 gen 3 is a new chipset
I'm *definitely* getting one of these phones this year, mainly to play codm on. Leaning heavily towards the Redmagic.
agreed, most of pro player in codm also use redmagic
Do it. I got the Red magic 9 pro for codm and such and it is amazing
@@afikri11 already buy rog , already kill many red magic user in cod , lol easy 🤣
Great video thank you! I have a Lenovo legion duel and I absolutely love it, but sadly Lenovo gave up on the gaming phone market so I'm having to look elsewhere for a new phone. I know you said you didn't like the front camera on the Red Magic, but having a giant black dot on the front for the ROG phone is definitely a big deal breaker for me, and having a good camera isn't that important to me. Thanks to your video I'm more confident now I'll be going with the Red Magic phone.
Yeah they pivoted into Handheld to compete with Steamdeck it seems.
The moment JerryRigEverything napped it clean in half with minimal thumb pressure killed their Gaming phone chances
Especially when you cant break most of its competitors.
Runs great but yeah Lenovo should stick to the indian market and budget phones
i currently using Lenovo Legion Y90. Its been 2 years now since using it.
You should add loop stress stability test in your reviews.
nice review man. loved it!
Redmagic is insane man I bought it 2 weeks ago I'm shocked,also you didn't talk about the expanded ram which can be extended by 10 for a 26 gb in total I mean I don't need that many but still mind blowing, this phone is umbeatable this year it's half the price for a better product, I appreciate the hidden selfie camera, the complete flat screen with no camera bump and the battery, i used to have a rog too (6) but i got a terrible experience with it they released an update that broke the phone, camera made the device instantly crash and it staied on bootloop for hours every time you shut the phone, i think they did it intentionally so you buy a new device, asus no more personally
Does the phone attract too much attention? Do you feel embarrassed to use it on the train?
@@kalactose348 not at all, you can turn lights off if you want and buy a black cover, personally I don't have any issue with that, it depends on how you want to use it
Hi bro, How can you expand the RAM to 26? I'm planning to buy this phone and i've been searching all over the internet but no article is talking about it, it would be much appreciated if u could help me, thx.
@@Zarathos71 it's easy you just go to storage and you'll see that option first alongside your left storage I could send you a screenshot somewhere, anyway as I said you don't even need that much ram😅
How is the battery performance? I'm thinking of buying it in the coming days, but I think it gets too hot and the battery drains quickly. Could you share your user experiences with us?
The video which I'm looking for.. thanks man..
@Booredatwork, what phone are you using to record this TH-cam video?
Cool video mate. Left me kinda drooling over both phones. Just wish you'd please do something about those massive volume spikes though - there's one about 10min 45 - ironically just as you started talking about sound! Lol. It's just really jarring and I had my volume set really low too. If I'd had it maxed it might have broken something.
I’d love to see a stress test between the two both with and without the external cooler
I dont' think the specs test nor the temperature was done with the external cooler!
@@deepin2uyou know what the stress test is right?
Here is the redmagic, but I didnt find the rog's th-cam.com/video/q0WhdzsmrF0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=fPJLVNSqc80YNPON
@@deepin2u i think you misunderstand friend. You wouldnt do a spec test with a cooler. Its basically just showing what it comes with stock.
If yoy were doing a stress test. You are testing it by putting it under massive CPU and GPU loads. And seeing how it deals with it.
You would want to do both tests. With the cooler. And without.
Because the device recommends the cooler for higher loads. So seeing the difference would be useful.
The games that open. Its features. Its hardware(specs) shouldnt change if the cooler is on or off.
Only thing that cooler does is cool down the phone.
The rog phone 8 and 8 pro also increase the performance when the cooler is attached, allowing it to run faster
New subscriber now I am in love with your channel
Hello! Is it possible to play in ultrawide on LG38 ultragear monitors with these smartphones? Can you set the resolution to 3840x1600 to play in full screen?
Great video, very informative and finally the long awaited comparison. I personally see no reason to pay the much higher price for the Asus ROG Phone 8 Pro.
He didn't even run the stress test. He doesn't seem to understand what makes a "gaming phone", it's about sustained performance not peak performance. 99% of phone reviewers can't seem to grasp this basic concept it's strange.
@@numalesoybea1348 i would assume that on the longer run the Redmagic schould win, especially when you remove the Asus cooling fan.
asus rog 8 pro is much expensive due to the IP68 waterproof and camera with gimbal built in.
@@domiviereinszwei2894 the red magic can sustain high performance indefinitely even with it's internal fan shut off. That's what the tests show.
@@3ckstermus and better brighter 2500nits screen more refresh rate better gorilla glass better OS, better OS support, better customization, all of that and i would still go for the red magic lol because those upgrades dont justify the high price...the redmagic have also some better things like the internal cooling fan and better battery. and bezelless display and gaming phone looks not a phone with a case looks. and the no camera bump is a plus.
I disagree with what you say about front facing cameras. I haven't done a single selfie in years, so I think there must be an option for people to choose a phone that does not include something useless for them on the front screen that obstructs visibility
Damn the star wars… the lobby and missions sounds playing in my head.
Been waiting for this
ROG 8 has poor sustain performance without the active cooler... users will have to attach cooler to enjoy gaming
Redmagic wins hands down
That is not true.
@@BooredAtWork maybe mixed results, I've seen the CPU throttling within 20mins and then better when cooler attached. Gsmarena review
@@BooredAtWork I mean rog 8 playing games for longer periods it will over heat unlike red magic since they have a built it fan with the rog you need that fan device
@@BooredAtWork thats true lol
@@KM-kl2wunah no do you have the phone?
I love the innovation on both sides, you have the integrated fan, the triggers, a hidden camera, a hidden display, 165hz refresh rate, insane performance, an external wireless cooler with buttons, subwoofer, dual front facing speakers, 2 usb-c ports, keeping the headphone jack and adding one on the cooler, stand on the cooler, ingame customisation, performance modes, battery passthrough, motorised cooling fins, cooler that cools the screen, really high touch sampling rate, really good haptic and gyro sensors, really good cooling solutions, large batteries, rear screens, unique designs, lots of ram. Just to name a lot.
Genuine question as i dont know much about gaming phones.
Since last gen played even the most demanding mobile games wekl.
These new phones seem overkill to ne.
Can someone knowledgeable on the matter enlighten me, please?
Thabk you.
hey i know this is not exactly what you do but how about a camera test with all the gaming phones outthere?
Redmagic is unbeatable this year
How brother.. Asus rog phone 8 pro(165hz)
Redmagic 9 pro (120hz)...??
@@adityakeshla1668 there are not a game runs at 165fps so it is not important
Especially since the Red Magic is half the price of the ROG
Correct 💯
Do I need to buy a fan for 9 pro? There is a redmagic turbo cooler 4 pro for £35.90. Is it compatible with 9 pro?
I like the Red Magic more though. Its just flush squared full screen, no camera bump, bigger battery, and a cooling fan. I dont really care about the camera quality and wireless charging but I do care about ROG's IP68. What I want is a reliable phone that wont just ask you to charge it very often (like my Poco F3 which I charge daily and even twice a day when I game on it) and reliable in long terms (unlike my black shark 3 that died on me just 2 years of use due to intense heating and melted the power management in the battery).
I like the look of both phones but when looking at the networks they can run on, it appears they lack support for T-Mobile's Extended 5G band which is their primary network band. I use my phone for work and need a solid 5G connection. I, sadly will have to pass on both units.
The ROG 8 Pro will support T-Mobile from what I've read. The US version has the n71 band on it, as well as the other bands T-Mobile uses for 4G and 5G. That's one of the reasons I can't get the Red Magic or the Nubia 60 Ultra. Still want my phone to be able to make calls and texts, even before I use the phone for what minimal gaming I'll do with it lol
is this review for the 24 gb of ram asus rog 8 pro edition or is it the 16 gb rog pro 8?
I like red magic but thing i hate about it is when you use that built in fan for a long period of time dust will build up in there.
Já tive Asus e Redmagic.
Ambos são ótimos aparelhos, mas o sistema é principalmente a qualidade de áudio da Asus são melhores.
Agora com boas câmeras e resistência ip68 com certeza está a frente!
Any huge difference in performance with the redmagic 12gb ram model?
Great video, I chose the redmagic. With 640$ it's just waaay cheaper, it's looks better and the under-screen cam is perfect for my use 😌
Asus ROG Phone 8 is more expensive but has a few advantages over RedMagic 9. Better/brighter Amoled, better built in audio player (Dirac > Dts Sound), slightly better speakers. I do like the Redmagic 9's 6500mah better size. The rest, boyh devices are pretty similar. Though Asus has a better Interface than Redmagic
I will go for red magic because of bigger display and battery....
And the design is better too
and people reported better speakers

How are the shoulder triggers? I never hear anything other than just "they exist". Does the sensitivity go low enough for you to rest your fingers on them lightly without triggering them? Thats one of the biggest things for me that asus gets right, it keeps input latency a lot lower (seriously, low enough to give an obvious advantage to the rog over redmagic). On my red magic 8 pro the lowest sensitivity still triggers the sensors as soon as theyre touched, even if its as lightly as i possibly can, so i need to hover my fingers over the sensors. Not a problem on the rog, it adds a 60ms minimum delay added if i use the redmagic.
Can you give more details on the trigger specs?
Someone finally speaks out
Rog phone owner here. The air triggers work surprisingly well. You can easily set the sensitivity low enough for you to rest your hands on it without triggering it. The Rog phones even have a specific mode to allow you to do this. They absolutely bring your shooter games to the next level
@@young-salt absolutely! That's the biggest highlight imo. The design on the triggers is so nice to run your fingers over too. Fast and responsive

- 2 usb type C
- cameras
- 165hz refresh rate (mostly useless)
- over 2000 nits
- headphone jack (DIRAC and snapdragon sound)
- weight
- LEDs
- Aeroactive cooler x in the box
- 65w fast charge
- 15w wireless charge
- IP68
- snapdragon 8GEN3
- air triggers
- Asus Android stock like experience
- decent speakers (a downgrade to all the other rog phones tho)
- design (look like a flagship phone now)
- the ram and storage
- the speed overall
-gorilla glass victus
the -
- the speakers (a downgrade) no longer front firing speakers
- the price (a terrible price, 1099 for the 256go and 1299 for the pro version)
- 2 years of android updates (considering the hardware and the price, its unnaceptable)
- the aeroactive cooler included (only on the pro, is a huge downgrade from last year's aeroactive cooler, 2 less buttons and no more boombox subwoofer)
- the battery downgrade (from rog phone's typical 6000 mah to now 5500 mah)
- The cameras software is average and so is the image processing (which shows that hardware isnt always everything)
- Asus Rog Premium price, yet terrible after sales service
- the phone build quality (one of the biggest issues with rog phones in general)
- heat management without the cooler during emulation
- downgraded Air triggers (no longer possible to divise each triggers by 2 like before so no more L2 and R2)
Honestly the camera doesn't look that different
and strangely i'm very surprised with this on paper the rog phone 8 pro should be way better than redmagic on the camera system and yet its average, like i said doesnt matter the hardware on that, if the software is shit, the result will be shit@@khalifa6413
you can add gorilla glass victus vs 7 years old gorilla glass 5
How does the screen brightness compare?
who has the best battery? (not mah but effectively hours of screen on while gaming, scrolling, ecc.. )
Both devices are so evenly matched, except for the price. I do think overall the Asus is probably the better device, but not enough to justify the $200 price gap (or more depending on the storage model)
I'd pay the extra 200 if it wasnt covered in dumb RGB and didnt look somehow uglier without them.
The RM is decently better imo, better battery and more versatile tuning to extend that battery
if i were to choose the rog i would just go for a s23 ultra

@@BossNurseHereNo, the rog Phone is the perfect daily gaming Phone.
I have been a Asus ROG user since ROG phone 2. I am currently using ROG phone 6. What I loved about ROG were the absence of punch-hole camera, the audio jack and front facing dual speakers. Since I am a gamer, the design of the phone such as, having a jack, having camera in the basal rather than on the screen and front facing dual speakers were the deciding factors for me to buy ROG phones. Now, it is not practical for me anymore as it is just like any other phone on the market. Specially within that price point, literally any other phone is better than ROG 8. I was looking forward to buy the ROG phone 8, but now I shall wait for next year's design. If it still remains the same, then I'll switch to Red Magic.
U lucky u won’t get hardware issues from asus, or else u will simply comment for red magic… coz asus is not trustworthy.
Same!
Bruh.... If you have no problem with the under display camera.... Then just buy the Red magic 9 .... Don't be biased with the brands. Red magic is clear winner for 8 pro and 9 pro
@@ostanime2462 You are right bro. I should in fact do that.
Yeah man Red Magics dont really lose value either. I've resold mine and got the new one every year besides the 6. And i got like 50-100 bucks less everytime.
Always just list it when i order my new one. And it always sells asap.
Like never havent aold within a day or 2. And never sold it less than 100 off its new price
Currently I am using Redmagic 8s Pro, it is very comfortable for me playing games, in the future I also want to use Redmagic 9 Pro when it is released in my country😊
Plz do a review on ZTE Nubia Z60 Ultra
Please please do a battery drain test between these two! Wonder how much longer the Rm 9 pro lasts.
Something like this;
1h gaming
1h Camera recording
24h on standby (With network and Bluetooth off, Airplane mode on if no SIM installed)
Then rest TH-cam until death.
Pls pls pls ❤
The Redmagic 9 is allready at 649€ so in this comparison its the clear winner!
Fully agree
you should compare them for switch emulation with yuzu. Its one of the things that a lot of people will be interested in, and isn't available on most phones.
I was very excited to hear the rogue phone eights was coming out until I saw that it’s been pretty much downgraded. Thank you for this video. Considering the red magic at this point.
Great video mate! Very informative and well done!
Definetly for me the clear winner in Red Magic 9 Pro feet down.
Beside all the better performane (speakers aside) it also come at a much lower price!
Thank you again for this video!❤
The performance will not be noticeable or seen in gameplay, but the price really is worth it, for price to performance it takes the cake. I'd still just go rog as it's just better at being a phone.
Im fan of Rog series but this time I prefer Red magic
Any reason ?

Early on the REDMAGIC is the clear victor, although with updates and optimizations that could change or maybe stay the same until Q2.
BUT honestly you should buy what ever makes you happy. Love the Apple Ecosystem, dope! Love the freedom of Android, amazing! Don't take pictures?, that's fine! You do you just read the reviews and stay in the loop.
One factor that gives me pause when considering an Asus phone is the placement of the USB charger at the bottom. It would be beneficial for Asus to consider a more central location. Connecting third-party Type-C budget controllers like Gamesir to the ROG phone results in an unappealing look due to the current port position.
My question is, will these phones be compatible with games like RE4 remake or 8 or any real console titles? It seems odd that the Iphone 15 is not technically a gaming phone and has these games available. All the raw power and specs of these phones seem like a waste to just play standard android games or emulation.
The iphone 15 is a joke, it overheats and throttles. Those are direct ports made for iPhone, which is also emulation to some extent, and really mean nothing without proper heat management.
All the ports you've seen for the iPhone were probably directly funded by Apple so they will never show up on Android if that's the case.
Its simple as a ROG 7 owner rog phone serves as a good daily driver but they downgraded the battery this model. ROG phone is not suitable for gaming long periods because of heat issue.
If you want to buy a phone purely for gaming, go for Red Magic series for its active cooling but it has buggy software. Rog Phone also has its usbc slot off center which is a HUGE minus because 3rd party controller like Gamesir dont work and you can only use the bluetooth ones which can have latency ingame.
I have both phones and IMO they are both crazy phones! The Rog is everything I wanted in a game phone Ip68 & everything else. But the air triggers are atrocious! EXTREMELY inconsistent 96% of the time and for that I'm returning mine.
Highly disappointed being it was my first ROG phone I've purchased. Hopefully they keep everything but upgrade the triggers for the Rog 10 and it will even become my main phone.
Both are very close and similar in features, the specs for each one are very close to each other, as one that uses my phone not only for gaming but also scenery pictures as well i would honestly go with the asus, but also for the fact that i like how the setup for the phone is, im not a fan for the big scrolling screen on the redfire, plus the back has the ability to be customized with different animations, also with the asus its sound quality is better as well, the redfire on the other hand does perform longer with a built in fan and has led lights on it too which is cool and you dont have to deal with the bulky fan on the back either, plus the fact that its full screen and no camera on the front is pretty nice but it also looks like a brick. The downside to that is the shape and the brick look, but it is a very clean and well designed set up for both phones, i do have yo say if both companies got together to make one epic phone then dam it would be insane. Im not a technical genius so the specs specs i didnt really understand but the numbers are pretty close and honestly id say you cant go wrong with either phone. It mainly comes down to whether or not you want to save more or spend a bit extra for more storage and a more smoother speaker
I prefer the Redmagic 9 Pro over the Asus ROG 8 Pro and this is coming from someone like myself who have owned a Redmagic 8 Pro and who currently using the Asus ROG 7 Ultimate. To me, Asus fails with their bulky external cooling fan, which I have to reattach everytime I want to play a game at max settings, this is super annoying.
I'm so ready for us as a mobile gaming community to set our testing standards higher than games like Call of Duty Mobile and Genshin that absolutely do not push these phones to the limits.
Is there any games more demanding than genshin on mobile? All other phones struggle to maintain 60fps and suffer from thermal throttling.
@@user-Xecember Runescape, that game can be very demanding on a mobile phone and in busy worlds I can almost never hit a steady 60fps on my 23 Ultra
They will make new game based on on sd Gen 2/1 when it's become cheaper
These are literally the most technically demanding mobile games on the market, thats why EVERYONE runs them on the phones they test... I'm honestly not trying to be rude here, but is there something you don't understand about that?
@tylercrawford616 everyone runs them because they're the big popular games, and because people (yourself included, unfortunately) don't know better.
And I really don't need to go deep either, because the fact CoDM can be run on a 4yo phone with almost all settings cranked up to the max should be enough to let you know there's better out there.
And Genshin? How many people have to expose Genshin's shoddy optimization before people figure out their phones are only "struggling to hold 60fps" because the optimization is bad? Booredatwork has said in many videos that he's aware of this. And none of that comes as a surprise when you look at a newer title like Tower of Fantasy that has a higher performance cap, yet consistently runs 30fps higher on flagships simply because it's made better.
Also look into Principles, it's regional availability is tough, but if you're a smart cookie, you can figure out sideloading it, and you don't have to do anything immoral because it's free. If you're really into the ins and outs of benchmarking, this will blow away anything you've seen in CoDM/Genshin.
If you genuinely believe CoDM and Genshin are the most demanding... I actually feel sorry for you because that'd mean you're missing out on a lot of really good-looking mobile games that are actually 120fps (and not just 120fps in menus like Genshin is).
Do you have a spare of red magic
I wish I can get that one in my in coming birthday:< , and should be used in school times
Hi good day to you new gamer here(nice gaming phone that is My Dream phone) good review❤❤❤❤❤
How does it handle on the ATT network?
Redmagic 9 pro will not activate on the ATT network. ROG 8 will though.
@@Darksteel165 shame good thing I got the s24 ultra instead then
That redmagic design 🔥
The 2 are very similar but there is a small detail between them, ROG is water resistant and Redmagic, due to the ventilation duct, is recommended not to be exposed to an environment with a lot of humidity in the air.
Both Legends & Amazing ❤❤
Just release a "gaming" phone with a replaceable battery, you got yourself an easy winner. Imaging if you can replace/upgrade your phone components like a pc.
There are solid reasons why I will go for one or the other, the Asus camera, both front and main, destroys the Red Magic, Asus can immerse itself, unlike the Magic that does not matter, one phone is more focused only on gaming, sacrificing things and the other more expensive, it is designed to compete with the rest of the high range, in the same way you will say that one is worse when comparing prices, however that depends on your pocketbook ;)
Yes Asus rog actually made for a nice daily driver. The Red Magic phone is not weather proof due to its vents so there is risk of rainwater getting inside and screwing it but it has better cooling and can game for longer periods with 3rd party controller support.
@@jackykwan2580Aeroactive cooler for ROG is a must. I saw the throttle test made by GSMarena with Aeroactive cooler is so solid even in X mode.
which of the phones has a better cooling system without a fan? Does the battery last longer in redmagic and charges faster?
9 Pro have much better cooling without fan because there is fan inside it :D faster charging (80W) and i have around 11H of screen on time with 3-4H of playing games and rest fb, yt insta etc :)
@@MIHAKOPRIVNICA then I dont get why ppl are liking rog 8 over redmagic 9 for that price and awful design, lower battery ect :P
@@DzAlgeria1 because of name Asus....peoples dont want to be seen with cheap Chinese phone same like most (not all) of Iphone users...they dont need phone that expensive or powerful....i dont care about brand i care about how much do i get for my money ;) for the price of Rog 8 Pro i can have base model Red Magic (12gb ram is more than enough) which i have and rest i can spend on used (new in box from marketplace) Rog Ally or something similar :)
@@MIHAKOPRIVNICA exactly I'm going to buy the redmagic 9 pro with the redmagic cyberbuds dao, there are kinda expensive yet together still cheaper than rog 8 base model lol. Btw do you know if RM9 come with screen protector pre installed or should I buy one with the phone ?
@@MIHAKOPRIVNICAspecs matter
How's the phone temperatures while charging?
Bang for the buck between the two is RM 9 pro.. imagine it's almost half the price of ROG 8
RM9Pro for me is the winner for this year. I have both a ROG 6D and a RM8Pro.
For this year, RM9Pro is the winner because of the:
- Bigger battery
- Builtin active cooling fan
- No punch hole display
- Improved cameras (for me based on the reviews, it has better picture quality, much brighter and clear)
- 80W GaN charger included
I mean, waterproofing is great but, you wouldn't game underwater or under the rain right? lol or maybe? hehehe cool one though.
For me, there's one factor why I can't pick Redmagic. Because of the lack of water protection, my homeland rains a lot and it's a heavy rain too, so if I'm outside, I afraid sometimes it'll happen a situation where I'm on open area, riding my moped and it's suddenly rain, it could get into my pocket or bag and the water can come inside.
How about Rog 7 Ultimate, is it's reliable? Reliable in terms of usage, because I used to have Poco X3 Pro I bought it due to cheap price but powerful performance, only to get betrayed when the motherboard have issues twice and it's revealed motherboard issue is common for X3 Pro and now I'm kinda traumatized lol but really want to try expensive gaming phone at least once in my life. So, is 7 ultimate a decent pick? Or does it have any major and worrying issues?
@@haluyolo7568 Hey bud, I'm also from an asian country that rains a lot. lol ROG7's a good choice though it is only IP54 splash resistant. RedMagic series are meant to be gaming phone and you wouldn't be using such phones on rainy days right? But maybe you're referring if you like want to check your phone for SMS etc. and it rains right?.. Think you're better of with ROG then.
@@deadenne292 what I actually meant is I use moped bike a lot and I afraid if I'm riding a bike and it's raining and the water that go through my pocket or bag might cause damage to the phone because it's often heavy rain in my country (Malaysia)
@haluyolo7568 I see you're a fellow Asian too. Since you're on biking and Malaysia I think has the same climate and weather as the Philippines:
If RM9Pro, you can just buy a waterproof case bag(can be found on online shops etc.) and make the touch sensivity/touch sampling rate of your RM9Pro to the max 960Hz and up. That way you can use it as a daily driver too.
If ROG7 Pro/Ultimate, you can use it on the go since its water resistat but not to be used during midium rains though since IP54 is only for splashes.
Feel free to choose according to your preference :)
@@deadenne292 that's a nice detailed answer and very relieving, thanks! I decided to take on ROG then since it'll have less risk to not thinking much about it. Thanks bro I hugely appreciate it
I have the red magic 9 pro but I wonder if I should test and get the Asus rog8 pro to see which one is better.
Let me know how it goes. I upgraded from the RM 7 to 8 a few months ago. I'm considering the ROG only cause the Ip68 & Dust resistant
I have a redmi k40 gaming phone and it handles everything very well but I would love to upgrade soon
The only thing holding redmagic back are the cameras, mainly the front facing camera, although I'm not one to take selfies that often, video calls are a different story though, but as long as I dont look like I'm being recorded in 480p and look like a wax doll I'm good
I think all red magic is missing is water and dust proof resistant and they will be my go to phone to buy
@@mrmack3176 Ah yeah, I forgot to mention that, mainly because most reviewers just skip over it due to redmagic phones traditionally not having an IP rating
@@mrmack3176 red magic 9 pro is dustproof and water resistant. Go google it
@@mrmack3176 you will see after one year why putting ip rating in a gaming phone is bad...especially when using cooler...because of heat mixed with the cooler's cold would create water inside the phone even if its water resistant water cant penetrate from outside but if its created inside it would be a problem. without place to cause good heat dissipation it could be a problem.
finally i can play temple run without lagging
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hey man can add arena breakout to your games ? You can try 144fps in there and Also it has beautiful graphics
Nice for covering emus
Really nice the😂the painful part is 🙂 they are expensive 😅
😢😂
ROG is more painful to purchase, imagine you can buy 2 phone of redmagic, in ROG you can only buy ONE 😂
@@exaltedmanif9842Red magic is only 700$?😂 wow🙂💗✌
@@n.imanthadesilva9700 649 bro, u on crack ? 🤭🤭
I think where red magic has a one up is red magic has a buit in fan and for those worried its not water proof peoole have droped this in a pool and washer and was fine after couple hours also they offer waterproof dust proof vents stickers on ali express
My Redmagic 9 pro 16gb is running Yuzu AAA games Mario Kart, Mario oddessy in 4k 45-55fps. Absolutely incredible! TotK at 1440 26fps 1080 at 30. Wild!!
Edit: for ~4hours plan on buying a wemax go and having some sweet camping experiences 🤙 pre-ordered my RM for 760usd
TotK in 1440 at 26fps and 1080 at 30fps only?? You using 45fps or 60fps patch??
@jakesmith5278 Just tested again. RM9 PRO 16GB Yuzu Build 275, R17 Mesa driver.
Totk, running circles in Tarrey Town, 2x resolution Docked (ie. 4k) in getting 23-28fps avg. 26.
2x handheld (1440p) 30-41 Avg. 33
1x Docked 1080p is 36-42 avg. 39-40.
This is just Tarrey Town. I generally play 1080p at 250% speed and see 48-62 fps most of the time.
Edit: at the time of my initial post a month ago I hadn't messed with the speed limiter.
I am using Rog 8 pro and the reason why I chose Asus is IP68, better software and because RedMagic is not available here in Sweden.
But what I can tell is this phone is excellent as daily phone however I noticed it does not tolerate cold temperature and when you make calls in winter. For example the contact that is talking to you hears you well but you in other hand are gonna keep hearing short pauses in micro seconds.
With the cooler this phone is not heating at all. And it feels super premium in hands kinda like Iphone. Without cooler the phone goes up to 40-41c and stays at that. Difference between Dynamic and X-mode is that Dynamic is heating much less while X-mode is heating more but it give way more performance.
In the games I did not see any need to use X-mode. You can basically play on Eco mode all games on High details thanx to the new CPU.
Also the touch is super responsive and sensitive, and it takes time to get used to this.
The speakers are super loud. Excellent sound quality. The rear camera is ok. And the front camera is not in a way during the gaming. That much I can tell.
I did not regret buying it. Though I recommend to buy the one with 24GB Ram and 1TB because there is not much difference in price and this phone with this procesor could be used even after 5 years.
Hope Asus make next time similar rear camera placement and design like RedMagic Pro.
Well that concludes my impressions about Asus Rog 8 Pro. If you want a lasting phone for every day use and gaming go for Asus but if you want only gaming and wanna save some money go for RedMagic.
Red magic has improved so much but sad to see rog has downgraded their speakers
if either of those had a replaceable battery and a stylus i would've bought that over the note in a heartbeat.
To be honest, I was shocked, when you said that rog has better speakers. It is possible that I had different opinion, because I didn't heard them in person
I have the same opinion.
The range of perceptions with the RedMagic is so much wider.
And it's coming from a musician. I play guitar since I'm a kid and I turned 28 this year. Music is my passion.
So, I feel better reading your comment, I'm not the only one who got this feeling. And by far. REALLY far.
This is what I'm waiting for
Let normies fight between apple or samsung, the bloodbath start in red magic vs rog phone
Redmagic 9 pro unbeatable
Alguem consegue me dizer como que compra esse celular?n sei como que compra no site oficial
RM9P hands own. I dont need camera and the ASUS speakers don't make up for the price difference. My RMpro is arriving tomorrow. Only 813.90. Ordered it off the RedMagic website. And i ordered a screen protector with it. Because the phone come WITH a CASE too.
Asus for me yes its expensive but perform better on benchmarks in GSMARENA. even without the external fan and switching x mode it performs great. camera features is just a bonus with telephoto and decent front camera 💪it can now compete with other flagships with the new features ,wireless charging,ip68 to name a few.
