It never ceases to amaze me the way technology keeps racing forward.
It shouldn't. Humanity keeps pushing forward as we all should!!
Going backwards is NOT an option nor is standing still.
Forward always and always forward!!
and also the price
racing? its 120hz. literally outdated in the 90s
@@deepin2u The industrial revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. Keep racing forward, like lemmings off a cliff.
Yeah technology keeps progressing. Meanwhile people still have to work three or four jobs just to survive. Amazing isn't it?
A thermal throttle test would be a good addition to these videos
ETAPrime is not Into testing, but into selling you stuff :)
@@kUdtiHaEX yeah, not exactly, but good try though

The cooling fans are becoming necessary with these new chips. These new chips get thermal throttled pretty easy because they just produce tons of heat. I’ve seen many newer phones that lose performance after 2-3 minutes of stress.
is iphone 15 pro max is 3nm and heats like crazy
what kind of phone do you own sir may I ask...
I hope lower end brands like Poco adds active cooling to their devices soon.
@@shirotonbo6315 currently I’m on iPhone 13, but my last phone was the Galaxy S10. Both of which got hot whenever you did any intensive work on them such as video editing or high end games. My iPhone seems to throttle at just the right temp where as my android would occasionally only throttle once it was real hot and would throttle really terribly. It is most likely the software and not the hardware.
Yes it's true. I have the redmagic 8pro and I can tell you the micro fan inside helps a lot wen you play long matches like PUBG or MLBB
kudos to that skyline drifting wallpaper. over the past few months im seeing more and more youre into cars and racing games. same here! sick vid as always. finally we are at the generation of chips where they are giving consoles a run for their money in the gaming scene.
It was nice seeing phone channels review this, but your gaming review is the best and proper way of reviewing this device.
I fall in love with Red magic products... Thanks for the video.
1:58 The Drifting Live Wallpaper 👌❤️
Do you kno where to get live wallpapers? I’ve only ever had iPhones until this so I have no idea where to start 😂
Where to get it??
@@nikkeipvck8529 You can get it through Wallpaper Engine. You need it on a Pc as well though.
@@nikkeipvck8529 You get it through Wallpaper Engine. You will need it on Pc as well though.
Great review, i think it would be great if you start including windows emulation also in your mobile devices reviews.
Thanks for the review. I have a quick question , is the console mode be able to add youtube or or some other non-game apps ?
I would love to see a video on the normal everyday phone uses for this phone, i know some older gen red magic phones people were saying have weird issues with push notifications, etc
Yeah old Red Magic owner here. Red Magic 5 G to be exact. If your phone locks and you reboot it, there's a chance they'll delete everything. I lost everything in it and the phone asking you randomly to input your pattern didn't help. I shouldn't have to put the pattern if I use the finger scanner. Battery didn't last the whole day either. Ended up getting a different phone and have the Lil one use it for YT kids.
Red magic and any Chinese android sucks. The performance is good but something like Samsung or Google or Apple is going to have way better support and longer. These niche brands don’t hold up too cheaply made.
@@robmalcolm8042Keep in mind Huawei, OnePlus and Xiaomi are also chinese. And their software is not only flawless now, but has also been a road-opener for the other manufacturers
Red Magic 6 Pro here for two years now, the first 6ish months were a little rough with a handful of weird quirks that I considered annoying but not game breaking. After a few updates i'd say the last year of use has been pretty clean and the insane specs of the phone have held up really well. I've turned this thing into a gamecube(complete with video out and real GC controllers), a laptop(external displau strapped to 10,000 mah bank for roughly a month w/ 3-5 hrs daily use), and had it using the hotspot feature gave my laptop 200mbs down for hours while my internet provider was down for a couple days.
@@robmalcolm8042 nah the Chinese brands are way better than the American, Japanese, or Korean brands. Huawei, Honor, Oppo, and Vivo are dominating the market with superb camera hardware, software, and hardware. no contest.
Love the live wallpaper with the car drifting. Where did you get it? And how can I?
Dedicated video for just game testing will be awesome
Console mode is super cool. Don't think I'd ever use it but I like the ability to play a video or something on the phone while gaming or otherwise
looks great - needs a desktop mode like samsung dex
possible pc replacement?
❤❤❤ gonna get one for my birthday next month since i dont have the cash to spare atm unfortunately but im super excited since im a huge Honkai Star Rail player and also Wuthering Waves will also be releasing later this year.
This phone always makes me wanna get one, I'll probably wait for the Red Magic 10 Pro bcuz my current phone is still fairly new. Also, where do you go to get those live wallpapers? they look awesome!
Update: I found it. It's Wallpaper Engine.
Good choice of waiting cause 8gen 4 is gonna have new nuvea cores which I heard it will reach to 12 cores
@@aliawahab723 yeaa, even though there's not really any game that does over 60 fps yet. It'll definitely be overkill for any mobile game you play on it, (unless you emulate) but also future proofing.
@@aliawahab723 i have 8pro and i think i try get 10 pro when is come maybe if is really come whit 8gen 4
@@giovanni2910 mobile gaming is on it,s way for fame Netflix gaming services looking good companies porting AAA games ,mobile games getting reworked like ark mobile getting a higher graphics version of switch port and further on so mobile gaming is going on a good road also emulation is sooooooo good
ETA Prime ! What LENS are you using for your video's ?
Any chance of you making that console mode video? That would be awesome especially if there are any weird emulator setup requirements.
Hi ETA Prime, I recently got that phone a few weeks ago and your video was the reason I bought it. I'm really enjoying using it. There's just one tiny problem.
When I wanna play Warzone Mobile and the phone is connected to a TV, or a monitor via usb-c to HDMI adapter, I don't hear any audio while playing Warzone Mobile, no matter if in "console mode" or not. At first I thought maybe it's the adapter I use, but since Warzone Mobile is the only game that gives me this audio problem and all the other games work, I think I can rule this out.
I already waited for game updates, but nothing changed. I also checked my settings and I also tried restarting and reinstalling. Unfortunately nothing worked.
There's a Redmagic Studio app for PC and Audio works fine there, but the picture / video quality is worse. So if possible, I'd like to use it on my TV and maybe create some content with my capture card, a Elgato 4K X (I almost forgot I also tried this on another TV without a capture card between my phone and the TV and I had the same audio problems.)...
Do you have an idea what I could try out? Or maybe someone from the community?
I apologize for my English. I'm German and didn't have to use English for a long time, so I got a little rusty, especially with grammar.
Greetings from Germany!
I cant wait to see this chip in the fold 6. Playing old school crt games is going to be so much fun
Fantastic review thank you
Looks great, performance wise it definitely max out!
but I'm more excited for future chipset, cause they will switching their architecture from arm-cortex to phoenix!
Probably big gains cause of 3nm die! that's my next phone upgrade XD
As a future customer of the Redmagic gaming phones , I did one would look forward to a video with more in depth " gaming console" information . I'm on the Redmagic site now, looking at their countdown for the early bird, the early access and the official release dates, so yeah I'd like to learn more. Thank you for your content 🙏👍‼️
Bro just buy retro handhelds like Ayn Odin 2 if your purpose is emulation. It's much cheaper lol
@@xenram4637they ment to use it as a phone probably because they aren't made of money.
what a total beast of a phone so definitely gonna get one
This is kind of phone I used to dream of having since decades! From design to performance, what more u can ask for in a phone! But unfortunately I still cant get one lmao
Where do you get your animated wallpapers? They are beautiful.
Unfortunately I'm in the US and I have at&t and I'm not willing to switch to tmobile but if I was with them I'd def pull the trigger. Looks awesome
All of the power aside, I just love the flushed camera design
Minecraft Bedrock now allows shaders in their beta version. Would love to see how capable RedMagic can run those shaders.
Great review 👏 do the triggers work with xbox game pass games? Will it detect the actual device as a controller?
I really wanted to know where you got those amazing live wallpapers
Does the phone charge while using usb type C to HDMI? Or can you still activate bypass/sep charging while using HDMI?
Would love to see updates on this unit being able to just run desktop mode Linux eg Ubuntu, and perhaps Windows on arm. For when combined with cloud based SW, this device definitely looks like a portable PC.
Based!
I'm also hoping for a future where That's a thing bud it's sadly not easy to do. Getting non-android Linux distros working natively on snapdragon devices is a pain.
Getting steamos on this would be insane
@@bangers4942steam os was made for the deck. Something similar like chimera is what will be available on any other machine. Also Even if you have the steam os game compatibility is kinda wishy washy.
@@bangers4942 i doubt steam themselves would make a phone but i would love an officially licensed steam os phone
Aparelho Fantástico, um sonho 🥰😍
I am loving mine. It has changed the way I play games. Got the razer kishi v2 and with steam link and a few emulators I can play anything I want almost anywhere.
I saw that the phone is not considered waterproof because of the fan holes. Does this pose a problem in daily use? with the rain for example?
Ah, good. I was looking for a new phone at a reasonable price and spotted this one. I compared it to all my other options and it won. I bought it 2 days ago and is supposed to arrive today. Now that I'm seeing your video I feel extremely confident in my purchase. Waiting for Amazon to say it was delivered so I can drive to the UPS store my mailbox is at, to pick it and a few other packages up.
Thanks for this video.
I bought an Anker USB-C SD 4.0 Card Reader when I bought it (and screen protectors) so I can use my cellular telephone Micro SD card with it (that's where my music, videos and Here Maps live).
how was it now? I've seen videos that this phone albeit L1 is only 480P playback on Netflix and DIsney+. Can't take advantage of this all screen phone if you can't use it decently on entertainment apps
@@kysierkevin I don't trust it as far as I can throw it. When it's made in that country you're at the will of the Gov't... They say "Give us every single detail on that individual" and the people respond "How high". I created a new email address just to be able to sign it using it. When my network lights started flashing after getting it (and never stopped - The benefit of playing sound to it 24/7 is I know they're stealing data from me) I knew to give in to the mountain of stupid which comes with it. What I can say is, thank goodness for network bridges.
I think the use case and performance of cp`s are already at peak. Theres no use anymore upgrading cuz mobile games runs already at high framerates, good graphics, and good screen. My thoughts would change if they remove the mobile part and can run pc games, cuz the benchmarks of these cp gets are already on par with mid tier pc cpu`s chips. If windows can install android apps natively, vice versa should be possible like wine/proton on linux.
Yes please do a deeper dive on the phone pls . If you could compare this phone and the last phone the released before this one . I have the red magic 8s pro and would like a comparison.
It's pretty much the same phone no difference bro
Where do you get your awesome live wallpapers from?
@ETAPrime wallpapers youve used in this video please source oe provide a download link PLEASE!!
Love & Subscribed to thr channel keep up thr solid work!
Just got mine and it’s a beast
Sup man. Wanted to know if you can run apps like TH-cam in console mode, and can this phone display 120hz on a 1080p monitor?
When testing Genshin Impact, try going to Sumeru City as that place is CPU heavy compared to other locations.
Are you going to do a follow-up video on the Odin 2?
I hope you try again with the red magic studio application on pc. On wifi I can play whatever flawlessly and wirelessly.
Bro this is cool and all but where u get that background of the skyline I NEED IT😍
I've had the 8 pro for less than a year so I'm gonna wait for the 10 pro next year
If you’re done, give it to me. I just want a phone with snapdragon sound + aptx lossless, since only Nubia, Vivo, Xperia and iqoo are the only phones that has the best Bluetooth audio I have heard of..
How well is it performing? Any issues so far? Maybe with the fan?
Do find any issue with the 8 pro?
I'm in the situation, I have a RM8 pro too. I will probably wait for the RM 10 pro next year.
thats interesting, how many negative fake statements from BOTs appears
Been loving my 8S pro a TON, but apart from the bigger battery and brighter screen, I don't see a huge difference. I wonder what the biggest difference is between the gen 2 and 3 snapdragon 8 is in terms of performance .-.
Emulator performance.
8 Gen 3 is the new smartphone King until the 8 Gen 4 with Orion cores arrives in late 2024. 🤯
What software are you using for your wallpaper?? Btw cool phone, I currently have the redmagic 7 and it's fine, has some flaws but still very powerful and still gets everyday phone activity done
Console mode,does need its own video..very interesting.
Ooo i still have the red magic 7, but this looks sleek, might be time to upgrade
man the design is beautiful, almost reminds me of the original xiaomi mi mix pro.
Didn't hear if this was covered (sorry if I missed it) - does this allow pass through charging while in console mode? So it can be connected to a usb-c hdmi dock and keep power?
Hope the upcoming tablet will look like this too
I've purchased this phone but when emulating games in console mode I'm getting very bad performance!!
ETA Prime making me spend money again 😂 Great review, would love to see a more in depth emulation video too 🙏
Great video but would have love to see you play those games at fullscreen
When connected to an external monitor and running console mode, does the phone itself still go 120hz? or does it go down to 60hz? Because for the S23 Ultra, the phone goes down to 60hz whenever Samsung Dex is running.
Hi, is there any reason all the emulation examples aren't stretched to fill the screen more? I don't mean to fill without aspect ratio but it seems like a waste of screen real estate as it is shown here. Is it just because of integer scaling or something?
Does it support something close to DEX like what Samsung does?
I loved this phone, it is amazing and I now have the Red Magic 7
The dave2d thumbnail is hilarious
I have red magic 8 and i love the function when you charge you can power the phone without changing the battery. It's very useful and saves your battery
It's called Battery Bypass charging.
Good day eta prime, can you try out Zelda botw (switch) and shadow of colossus (ps2) on your future emulation tests. Thank you.
Hey, I missed the PPI on your specs sheet for the display. Cheers
I'll never buy one personally, but it's cool to see the advancements in each new generation.
I should have waited. I purchased the 8S Pro back in November. I don't need the extra power exactly, as this one runs everything I can throw at it without a problem, but I definitely like the design of the 9 better.
Thats funny because i actually like the design of the silver redmagic 8s pro more
I feel you two could solve each other's problems, lol. I love this new phone though it looks sick
@@Aluze If he would like to trade, I'm all for it.
@@ThePaulKM sadly i dont have either lol. But if you're willing to trade for a nothing phone 1 I'm down
@@kylebelle246 Nah, I specifically got this phone to avoid the whole punch on the screen.
Jo, I have Red M S8 with the right adaparter, power supply I'm able to bump my resolution to 4k 60hz so the new phone for Shure gets 4k but I wonder if it gets to 120hz, it look you haven find the option this phone is may game console, media player, is beautifully one device could do everything.
I'm curious the USB c has display port suport
is it possible to add another software button to the navigation bar?
Hi. I'm loving your videos. I'm a long time DEX user. Before dex i was using Continuum on Microsoft Lumia phones loved that also. Q: Do you thing there will be some revolution with this space with planned X-elite release and microsoft on arm pushthru? Any guesses if there will be more performing DEX with full fat windows bootable or any other way to use our phones even better? I'm still waiting for PC replacement in my pocket... Why do you think there are not more companies pushing this forward? There are just MOTOROLA, SAMSUNG, HUAWEI for a while and no other players in this space. We need competition to improve :) This phone is so powerful. It could be used as "desktop replacement" for office work for shure as well as samsung is ... Hope we will se more companies supporting desktop like experience with our phones. Have a nice day.
with the big big gap between Redmagic 8 and 9 i might wait for Redmagic 10 , iphone going so crazy to pass he new CPU and compare to snapdragon 8 gen 3 so i'm feel there is something will be so huge with next year , i will stay with my OnePlus 7T till next year
This with a Backbone / Razer Kishi OR a ROG Ally ??? Mainly for emulation purposes.
How well is this phone as daily phone? When we got red magic 6, it took them so long to fix the issue with android auto
how do you guys connect the keyboard, mouse and controller all at the same time?
Hey hope u can answer a question for me here. If i hook up a display on that thing vie usb-c and start Citra for example, is there any way to use both screens as top and bottom Screens? That would seal the Deal for me
That screen without holes looks amazing
💀
where do you get these awesome backgrounds!!??
does it have "pause usb power delivery" function, or something like that?
like, when you connect the phone to a charger, you can just send energy to the phone directly, and not to the battery? awesone for larger gamer sessions!!
Give me a shotout for this, jajajaja
that looks so cool 😮
Bloody... Now we need this hardware with PostmarketOS or the like. PS3 emulation on mobile doesn't seem very far fetched anymore?
Where can I find that beautiful live wallpaper of the drifting car when you talk about specs? (1:28 circa)
I have always loved the design of the red magic 8 and 9 ... however the software has always been hit and miss. I also think the screen is too big .. but I understand why they do it.
Screen size and aspect ratio are two completely different things.
Stop confusing the two.
This screen is smaller than a Nintendo Switch OLED.
🤣🤣🤣
The new Snapdragon 8 gen 3 is the ultimate chip for gaming and emulation!
You don't need more power.
Just needs a working n stable ps4 emulator 😊
@@techjunkie1815That won’t happen anytime soon
@@techjunkie1815 still no ps3 emulator for android
Shame it cant actually play any real games like the iphone 15 pro..
Winter is coming. I need a good hand warmer.
Does the phone have a feature to dim the screen and keep games running on low power?
Thank you
The most badass phone out there. A bit concerned about Nubia quality control although RedMagic has a good track record.
wonder if you can add chrome to the "console" mode apps and then just use it like a desktop then
Crazy that the "lower end" _Sleet_ version is the best looking one to me. The other two are a little *too* dorky looking for me 🤣🤣😭💀
ASUS phone 8 Pro really got the balance of subtle nerdiness right this year imo.
*ETA:* The console mode in this phone is great.
Everything about this phone is amazing 😍
Including the weight of it.
@@johnmc3862 😅
I enjoyed this review. Pretty much everything about the RedMagic phones is excellent, especially for the price, except for their reputation as not really supporting Verizon all that well. Has the 9 improved upon that?
I lowkey moved back to T-Mobile because I was bored with the phone choices on Verizon
I've been with Metro since 2019 still have the red magic 3s
brother its my dream to be like you, you are living my dream life
Wish reviews would cover what 5g and 4g bands the phone covers.
Apparently the Sleet Chinese version has a 24GB ram + 1TB storage. Where did you get yours?
Hey ETA
With this chip you should try some harder games like the half life 2 shield port 😁
Where did you get that drifting wallpaper at 1:25?!
Plz n ty
Would also like to know thanks
I just found it on TikToK
I would love to get that wallpaper
Love phones without hole punch. That's why I still rock twin Galaxy Note 9's. One for work and one for play. For the same price as a new phone, I can get two refurbished like new 6GB Ram 512GB Rom phones, with no hole punch, SD card slot, Super AMOLED 2960x1440 px resolution, S-Pen, a SD 845 chip that can still do games medium, do all multimedia, and Dex for running my Xreal glasses. The two batteries together give you 8000 mah. I wish they'd just make another Note 9 phone with triggers and a new chip.
I would like to use it as my daily phone, is there a way to remap the swtich or somethting?
I really like the phone, but I dont get it because of gaming
16:25 the legend zelda link's awakening worked cleanly with "Dimensity 1200 and Mali-G77 MC9"? that's weird!
Where you get that car drifting wallpaper 👀 tell me😊 just tell me where u get all your wallpapers please
I have the RM 8 Pro and it's a great emulator phone with a backbone or Kishi V2 It's a PS2 & Gamecube monster BUT I now prefer the Odin 2, I see little use for a mega powerful phone.
Its still a smartphone so you can still use it normally for browing, texting, Calls unlike a dedicated handheld since it has controllers
There's something about the Odin 2, I just choose it over my redmagic 8 pro & Kishi 2, It's great to have but the Odin 2 is more all in one, no nonesens device, no messing around, it's their ready to go. performance wise, they are very similar. @@jaschaamielmalik2245
@@jaschaamielmalik2245 Yeah, but we are talking about gaming here.
@@user-qy2wf2lt6v yeah and it's at most 800$ for this vs a new Samsung or iPhone being 1k for their newer models.
Then the same arguments apply against those phones advantages. Why would we care about having nicer cameras when they're already nice in general? Want professional photography then get an actual dedicated camera.
And this phone aside from being cheaper by multiple hundreds of dollars, has better charging speed and battery capacity, in addition to running games smoother and being good at emulation.
There's not much of a reason to buy a Samsung or iPhone that's new gen when compared to this cheaper option that achieves the same except in camera quality but outperforms in battery and gaming.
Odin 2 has one of the best price v performance values. I definitely want to get one in the future.
