Thank you so much for this in-depth unboxing video, which felt more like a tutorial. I have this phone and knew almost nothing about it based on all the other reviews and unboxing vids, being that those were focused on the basic functions and mainly gaming performance. They rarely mentioned anything about the settings, camera, audio, or even the screen features. Great job!
Just gonna say I have this phone with the heatsink case and its a beast even when you have a full overclock on the phone. under 50c. Even iwth 3dmark stress test 2x run and its still under 50c with the heatsink case. The triggers for cod mobile work so damn well, feels like physical buttonss with haptics. Heatsink case fits gamesir(shadowblade), and gamevice. With a bit of dremeling on the flat site of the backbone it also fits with the case perfect. Without the heat sink case it obv fits everything. Only negatives is DTS, sounds good with wired headphones but it forces even bluetooth through the android mixerso for audiophile purposes its not good. USB has problem to in same capacity even with USB audio app. As for the speaker they sound really good compared to cheaper phones . Phone in NA maxes out at 65W charge.
Great review. It's a shame such a beautiful and Powerful phone doesn't have desktop mode similar to Motorola and Dex on Samsung then you truly have a portable computer in your pocket
That is amazing for future proofing device. No the cameras aren't iphone or pixel but hey. The rest of the build seems way way making up for it and the price??? Heck yeah. Wow. Great review man. I figured this would have been 1200 I see it around 850.
Not to much negative after update, camera is now the only issue, hopefully some adjustments are made with next update, has Samsung cameras but how it processes the photos is not good.performance and battery is killer!
@@caguamaYT I have T-Mobile so I have very little 5g in my area , I have the 5g displayed in some parts of my town but haven't tested if it's actually 5g. I think also it has to do with where you buy it from , I've seen a lot of reviews that have said some that I have never had an issue with, so either they have have the first units that were sent out or buying from third part source , you want to buy it directly from red magic and not a third party as well. Gcam fixes the camera issue as well but the original camera app is not good.
Great review with all the information needed. Authentic! I ordered 16/512 titanium, should arrive on Monday. Do I need a magnetic redmagic cooler ? I got the original case with the steel inlay already...I play MLBB, T3, Flash Party, Aether Gazer, and Diablo Immortal. Atm i play on a Xiaomi mi11 and my left thumb is constantly burning from screen heat.
@@deenojiren7979 superb display quality... Premium handheld feel. Rocket like performance but you have to consider front camera, back camera better not top class.
@@deenojiren7979 actually im not really sure either even my tab s8plus until now theres some games i mainly play that isnt as optimized as apple.i got an ipad pro to compare. it kinda annoys me that they prioritize apple. but if you really prioritize gaming i say you should get redmagic cause fold isnt for gaming. you can game but you cant play competitively. since they both suck on cameras id pick redmagic since it has better touch response,better screen,bigger battery, and better chipset. i live in usa i wouldve bought redmagic if it fully supports usa 4g and 5g. thats my only problem with it. if you live in europe or asia they support 4g and 5g well enough.
I think you wouldn't regret it. This phone is great. The only that isn't great is the camera but it isn't ugly either just not top of the line pics but it take nice photos. The rest it's an amazing phone
If you don't want a foldable anymore and the Redmagic has the network bands for your service, then you should be good. Also, if you don't mind the cameras since the Fold ones are better.
@@SlowedFalcon online, I paid with PayPal credit which gave me a discount somehow, and I also put a code with the Honey extension that gave me another $40 off.
Camera doesnt seem that great.. has lots of software features but video quality sucks.. But this was made for gaming.. so you can have both for a lower price.
You are talking so fast that we can't understand what you are saying. You would make a great narrator for advertising on TV. But the rest is good, a fixed camera, good lighting too.
I watched this with 2x speed and didn't have any trouble understanding but I always watch youtube on 2x speed so I have gotten used to it (I actually wish there would be an option for 3x speed)
Sony has the bypass feature as well, so you can use the phone without the heating issues. GREAT feature.

Hi, can the DTS feature be turned off for wired headphone connected? Thanks.
I always wonder how many people actually buy gaming phones 🤓 i wish companies would share that with us
Bruh absolutely fantastic job with this video. That phone is a damn beast. Now I want one. Thanks a lot Grant 🤦🏾♂️ but dope video homie
Thanks, appreciate you 💪🏼
I like you show some interesting software feautures on it! I hope you continue doing this.
Great in-depth Video!
how many o.s. upgrades will be?
Sorry, they didn't specify
I'm afraid...only one or two...
Hello Mr. Grant, can you suggest me which is better between the Samsung S21 FE and Pixel 6 Pro.
How long does it take to arribe?
Thanks for the nice and detailed review😊
Really wish I could afford this kind of phone
Hi I would like to know if RM8pro support dual apps or clone apps ? I can't find it on the settings . Thank you so much 😊
Amazing and comprehensive review!
Really wish I could afford this kind of phone 😢
how far can you zoom?
Great review!!
No microSD card slot is a deal breaker for me!
Great review. It's a shame such a beautiful and Powerful phone doesn't have desktop mode similar to Motorola and Dex on Samsung then you truly have a portable computer in your pocket
How you got default google icon in theme
It's an option to use themed icons in the home screen settings
Is this un an international version
Amazing review, I respect that
Great video sir thanks for the information
I'm in between this phone or the s23+ultra 😩
me too....hard decision 🙂🙂
Buy S23 ULTRA...and if you don't like it...sell it and buy this ...easy as that
That is amazing for future proofing device. No the cameras aren't iphone or pixel but hey. The rest of the build seems way way making up for it and the price??? Heck yeah. Wow. Great review man. I figured this would have been 1200 I see it around 850.
One worry is...updates. And that fan life.
Was seriously going to sell my s22 ultra for this but i been seeing alot of negative reviews for google apps 😭
Not to much negative after update, camera is now the only issue, hopefully some adjustments are made with next update, has Samsung cameras but how it processes the photos is not good.performance and battery is killer!

I guess depends how long you play. Try the charge passthrough and built in fan to see us that's enough for you first
how much update have you got since released?any random restart?spotty 4g5g coverage, no weak wifi?
Covered in the video 😉
No random restarts
Not at all works great 5g all over Chicago land and nw Indiana no problems I use a lot of hotspot and also wifi calling no probs at all.
@@thorpower1015 how much speeds are you getting the least? 100mbps?
@@thorpower1015 what carier?tmobile?
@@jael4132 yes TMobile haven't tried a speed test but seems plenty fast
Thanks so much for such an in-depth hands on with this device. Such a beautifully built phone. That hardware is crazy. Great video!
Can i buy it
I'm from india?
I wish they had the 16/512gb in matte. Guess I'll save the money and get the 12/256gb. Gonna miss the rgb fan though.
Ps2 emulator Simpson hit and run ?

Watching on Red magic 8pro
How is it bro should I get it I have a fold 3 so I'm planning on selling this and getting the 8 pro
@@deenojiren7979 superb display quality... Premium handheld feel. Rocket like performance but you have to consider front camera, back camera better not top class.
@worthlessplays1267 I'm aware of the cameras I'm not really a camera person no selfie stuff so would you trade your z fold 3 for this ?
@@deenojiren7979 absolutely not
@worthlessplays1267 so your saying I should keep my z fold 3?
Should I keep my z fold 3 or get this ?????
despite fold got 120hz app dev dont optimized the device like on apple.
@jael4132 so red magic 8 would be a down grade you think ?
@@deenojiren7979 actually im not really sure either even my tab s8plus until now theres some games i mainly play that isnt as optimized as apple.i got an ipad pro to compare. it kinda annoys me that they prioritize apple. but if you really prioritize gaming i say you should get redmagic cause fold isnt for gaming. you can game but you cant play competitively. since they both suck on cameras id pick redmagic since it has better touch response,better screen,bigger battery, and better chipset. i live in usa i wouldve bought redmagic if it fully supports usa 4g and 5g. thats my only problem with it. if you live in europe or asia they support 4g and 5g well enough.

Oh if you love selfies this isn't for you😁
Mines showing on the 16th :)
I'm here for this long video also, should I sell my fold 3 and get this one?, please guys need your help because I want this phone
If you don't want a foldable anymore and the Redmagic has the network bands for your service, then you should be good. Also, if you don't mind the cameras since the Fold ones are better.
@@GrantLikesTech does it work with lucky mobile?
Lovely looking phone at decent orice
I got mine for 595, I live in Delaware so I don't get charged sales taxes 😂
Nice 👍
used? or online?
@@SlowedFalcon online, I paid with PayPal credit which gave me a discount somehow, and I also put a code with the Honey extension that gave me another $40 off.
Where are you buy this phone? If you buy on official site, where I can choose it?
@@denchik4484 Link is in the description 😉
Nice 👍 phone I may get new phone 📱 time to upgrade
not bad for 800usd but zte red magic must support all usa 4g and 5g. i woudlve bought it
I understand
179mbps actually great better than having 5g but works like 4g(30mbps)🤣 N71,260 and 261 are a must i cant go back on any phone without 5g

bad cameras! why under display cam? just use a small punch hole
Just buy a IPhone
Bargain huh?... Not for me and many other people 🫣
