Awesome features on the Red Magic 9 Pro! The under-screen camera and the cooling system are great. Definitely one of the smartphones to pass your durability test with flying colors.
cant remember the last time I used the selfie camera so having it hidden and not taking any screen real estate is great! The look on these is kinda cool and the fan implementation might be the best one I've seen yet, that could also be very useful when shooting longer videos.
Finally, a phone maker that decided to make the under-screen front camera! I’ve been dreaming about this technology for the past 8-9 years, and I’m not joking. I hope to see this technology in all upcoming generations from other brands as well. Awesome video!
I think that the fan is cool and all but it makes the phone vulnerable for almost anything as in dust and water and such but overall it's cool to see that someone is sticking with the under the screen camera trend that happened a couple of years ago and applying it right now when it really doesn't have that much of cons to the user
@@johanlindhe7378Yep. Got Xperia V: packed with good stuff, has a jack, and it yields really good quality sound. The jack itself got damaged on my phone though. Not too resistant to side pressure when plugged. Gotta take it to repairs...
You have no idea how many times my wireless earbuds cut off the audio making me mess up in the competitive games, so yeah, headphone jack is for the win
I have been watching your videos on and off for years. I found them super useful when I'm looking at build quality for a new phone purchase, but I have always hated the sound of scratching the outside of the phones. So much so that I will either always skip that part of the video or If I want to hear what you said during those parts but I have to rewind, turn on closed captioning, and mute the video (plus undo all that after). Would you consider adding a visual and audible warming (could be a specific sound clip or something)?
I've watched so many of your durability test videos and even after all these years I still have a hard time stomaching the stuff you put this expensive equipment through, feels like burning money haha
it's not often when i am impressed by a phone's design, but this right here is perfect. it's futuristic yet not over the top, and beautifully engineered
I really don't like camera bumps, so I find this flat back camera module really awesome, and the under the screen front camera is nice and is getting better too.
I've always loved redmagic's Innovation. You don't see change in phones much anymore so every time they make one it's actually interesting and different
I absolutely love the microscope view of the under-screen camera. Seeing the tiny individual LEDs next to the already tiny camera gives you a good perspective on how insane the engineering and manufacturing of those screens must be, even more so if you keep in mind that all of them are individually addressable.
It's so good to see a company that is still trying to actively improve the design of smart phones. so many have just copy pasted the same design for years now. I love the in line cameras. i've always hated the bezels... remember the one plus 7 with the neat little pop up camera, or that Asus phone where it flipped round from the rear of the phone... at least they tried. The underscreen selfie cam is a great idea imho. super happy to see it finally half useful.
been a oneplus user for a decade, turned to samsung in the last 2 years, tested a rog 3 a few years back and i'm seriously thinking about getting a redmagic pro in the future... thanks for the extraordinary set of test, and i'll see you around !
It's nice to see what was originally a niche product - a gaming focused device with most other features taking a back seat - becoming more well rounded and incorporating a few features the big players are still shying away from.
This is one of the most uniquely designed phones I have seen in a long time. I like the idea of the front facing cameras being not able to be seen, it opens up more screen space! Everything about it is fascinating. The RGB lights and lack of camera bumps are fascinating. It’s nice to see some innovation and desire to stand out
@@anazahmed509 Everything is already spying on you, ur watch, ur headphones, ur fridge possibly, ur car, ur tv, ur current phone anything and everything technology is spying on you some way
Same reason I switched to S24 Ultra from iPhone after using them for 17 years straight. The rounded corner slabs have become boring. I've been far more "excited" over S24 Ultra than any of the last 4-5 iPhones I've owned? It feels like MY phone, not an iPhone I've "rented" from Apple until they release a new one. The customization options are insanely granular, allowing users to customize just about anything within Android. The beauty is that customization is purely optional and by no means required. I was blown away by the options to customize the keyboard alone. My only regret is not switching earlier. 🤦
Innovative and futuristic idea by Redmagic. It's really fascinating that the company gives us an idea of the near future and definitely deserves remark.
@@Chris.in.taiwanIn my opinion, the RedMagic 9 has a better design compared to the latest ROG 8. The design of the ROG 8 looks cheap to me, especially considering it's pricier than the RedMagic 9.
Do people really care about how thin a phone is? I mean this phone looks really slick and seems to fit your hand just fine, without rocking like a rocking chair on a flat surface.
I miss 3.5mm jack being standard. This seems like an interesting choice for a phone. Ill have to look at the sofware support. As I tend to hold onto phones for at least a few years. Unless something happens to it or the upgrade is really justified.
No Bluetooth based audio device that fits in your hand comes close to a longevity and performance of good wired earphones on a phone with a good dac like Lg v40
So missing it is justified. When did holes in phones ever bother anyone at all? That’s the lamest reason I’ve seen for getting rid of headphone jacks 😂
This is the first time I have been genuinely excited to see a new phone be released. Every other time it's just the same phone with 1 or 2 very minor changes, but this just seems to do everything right! Also, seeing you scrape and scratch the phone crushed my soul, but I'm very happy to actually see how well it handles damage.
I'm another one who rarely ever uses the front-facing camera, and this phone is definitely iterating towards my preferences. Very cool to see the progress while keeping a headphone jack and losing the ever-increasing camera bump.
if theese come to mainstream Phones, Imma be absolutely pumped I'd take a worse Selfy Camera over a hole in my screen anytime, but I really don't like the gamery stuff of Red Magic. I hope other Manufacturers are listening
I really hope more manufacturers adopt the 'no camera bump'. This makes phones look crazy good. Also, the all screen front makes it look like something from star trek. Very slick.
No bump on the back is nice, but putting the front camera under the screen may degrade the quality of the picture since the light has to penetrate through the AMOLED layer.
Okay, the no camera bump thing actually made my jaw drop. I can't believe the amount of stuff they could fit inside this phone, meanwhile other brands keep removing features like headphone jacks because "there is no space". Although I'm not sure I'll upgrade to this in a good while since I have the redmagic 8 pro and, as this test showed, it's really sturdy! I can tell it's gonna last many many years.
@@omaralarbid3205 Really good, it's a great phone for what it costs, the build quality is great, so I do think it's gonna last very long if you take care of it. The only downside I can think of after a year and a half of using it are probably the Redmagic OS not being as good as something like a Samsung or other bigger brands since it doesn't have built in apps like Gallery for example, so you have to use Google Photos or other apps. But it is an Android phone so you can use any app you want and customize how you like it.
I wonder how much time will it take for other companies to make under the screen front cameras, but still the no camera bump thing was even more amazing for me
The underscreen camera is not anything new, it appeared years ago. problem is that with higher resolution, the camera image quality significantly drops. Most phone companies couldn't bear with it, cuz normal users still cares about that😂
I really enjoyed this one, im always a bit anxious with the flame test but boy did this Phone hold up to it. Quite impressive to only take damage by the scratch test basically. One thing tho, maybe it would be a good addition to scratch the top pixels to see how scratches affect the selfie camera quality. Even if I wont win one, Im probably getting the phone. Had ZTE for a long time(until i broke em and sit on an S5 now lol) and the Axon 7 was actually one of my absolute favourites.
Buddy you're so hilarious I both love and hate your videos. I hate seeing you destroy all this beautiful Tech but I love hearing your jokes part of me does enjoy you destroying these things. I think what I enjoy the most is how you do it with such a calm demeanor
the "destruction" he does is actually very helpful believe or not, he is very methodic with the way he damages the things so it gives good perspective on quality of the materials, he tears down flagship smartphones as he gets them so if you want to repair yours you can look at his video for reference of where the pieces go. Its not so much of a destruction but a teardown and quality control
Ngl, I love the concept of truly bezeless screen and the under panel camera. I hope computer screens can implement that and once and for all remove the issue of never looking the person in the eyes during video conference calls
I really like the seamless/flat design of it. I think the bump on the flash is to prevent the flash from lighting up the glass for the cameras and causing huge bloom. For the teardown video, could you mention about the ergonomics of holding it? Like does it feel super heavy when holding it one handed, and if the corners are sharp?
I can’t wait til under display cameras get perfected as they are my favorite solution to the whole notch/hole punch/Dynamic Island situation. I definitely think pop up cameras are neat too but having more moving parts in a phone, especially like that would probably result in a broken and glitched out front facing camera at some pint, despite the supposed durability. Also, having fans on a phone is a neat way to limit heat, keeping not only the phone cool but the battery. A hot battery = a degraded battery so having the fan is quite nice. Idk if these fans actually help cool down the battery but if they do that’s pretty sweet.
I absolutely love the idea of hidden front camera. Overall this phone does look nice. What is missing here is some sort of docking station for this phone so it could be used as "desktop", at least in some form. Modern phones do have enough power to be used as such, it would be really nice.
I still use Asus 7 Pro with a flip-able camera module and it is the best solution. No notch or hole in the screen. Main camera, which is always way better than front-facing camera in any phone, acting as a selfie camera. Wide-angle camera is very useful when you want to take a selfie with a large group of people. And flash light is also available. Moreover flip-able module allows to take a panorama photos very quickly and reliable, it scans around in less than 2 seconds. And last, but not least, sometimes I rotate camera module by just 45 degrees to conveniently take a photo of tall buildings or a photo from below. Shame that the concept never became popular and it is completely abandoned now.
Flat backs, headphone jack, no notch/punchhole and boxy design instead of the common soap holder shape. I think I finally found a worthy opponent to my favorite phone, the Xperia Z Ultra.
That perfect block shape they have is the feature I didn't know I wanted until I saw this. Kudos for Redmagic for continuing to innovate despite the other phone companies becoming more risk-averse when it comes to developments like this.
most phones look the same since the smartphone era but this thing is so cool to look at. I always go for black but this is the first time I feel like leaning toward the white one
I usually don't like brick phones but this one's design is freaking awesome! I love how the phone resembles like a starship, and it has this like mecha-ish design on its back.
My LG V50 has had it's cameras behind the glass and a smooth bumpless backside since 2019 lol. No clue why camera bumps were ever even a thing since clearly it was already possible to design them with a flat smooth back surface if they wanted to.
Really solid phone. Love to see some common sense in overall innovative design, like no camera bump and headphone jack. Great piece of technology. Keep it up Jerry, love these videos!
That close-up of the AMOLED screen with the microscope was really cool! Wild to think how much detail we can see when the pixels are that spread out in reality. Awesome video, like always!
That camera under the screen is such a neat idea; I was waiting for the downsides but overall this is just a super solid looking phone. A happy early new year to you as well!
It's poorer photo quality wasn't too huge of a deal, either. It is a front facing camera after all, which is more of a "secondary" camera, anyways, which nobody uses to take "high quality" photos. For the purpose of face recognition, making a quick video call, or making a funny face with a friend, it's perfectly capable.
Really had me anxious while you were testing such a pricey phone's durability, but as expected of the price, it would most likely survive, I've had my eyes on this phone for quite a while upon release, it was perfect, with its high performance capability and such a sleek design that will surely attract hardcore mobile gamers out there like me! I love how this video also shows how durable the device is against numerous challenges regarding its durability, which furthermore increases my desire for this phone, as always, 10/10 video, keep making more of these, very entertaining and experimental!
What a good looking phone. Finally glad to see no big camera bumps or any "notches" on the front. No curved edge screens that break far too easily and a headphone jack to boot! 80 watt charge port dang.
The jump from the sd gen 2 to 3 in terms of performance is massive At that price range, its really cool to see the headphone jack again. Kind of sad that expandable storage pass the $200 mark are out of the question though.
It will be interesting how long it takes for the more major companies to integrate under screen front facing camera's, and how they will look, but I'm sure you'll cover them for us! Keep up the good work!
I love how this phone looks. I'm such a sucker for squared off phone designs. Fell in love with the (now discontinued) Razer phones 1 & 2, one of the Sony phones, the new S24 Ultra, and now this one.
"If you're under 40 it's the only real estate left"... ROFL! I love those close pixel shots, really cool showing how this tech actually works and improves. Love the content, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Jerry and Family!
Think red magic are massive in broadcast quality video cameras if I remember right, they make all the cameras you would get on TH-cam channels with a mil subs or more.
Phones look amazing! Cameras behind the glass should be a must have in 2023. I think the quality of selfie cameras will always dip, but I don’t think really really matters for the front. Great video, as always 👍
Pretty awesome to see the under the screen front camera getting better! I've been wanting a phone like that forever. Had one of the pop up motor ones a few years back but this is so much cleaner and innovative. Thanks for superb vids as usual.
Definitely looks futuristic, I especially love the lack of camera bump. Even my iPhone 7 has the uncanny ability to collect scratches across the camera whenever I put it down on a rough surface, can't imagine its any better for more the latest phones
Awesome phone , first phone that can defend itself from your burn test 👍🏻 already gave a thumbs up for that , Thanks @jeery for showcasing the phone on your channel will definitely see the teardown video of this phone and i will try my best to have one of these phones with me on that day when you release that teardown video.🙃
Under-display camera quality has improved very significantly from what I last remember! Holy hell that camera being usable is definitely a pretty big improvement! Remember the old under-display camera phones where the selfie camera pictures were so soft, they were practically fuzzy!
Amazing how a little flat cube can look so nice and sleek. I didn't expect to see a camera completly hidden under the screen this early too. Technology is evolving like crazy
personally have never used a phone for gaming but this is definitely a interesting one with the internal self camera. can't wait to see the teardown to see the beautiful internals of this well crafted machine. Goal for the next year is to get into a better standing health-wise so that if and when a child enters my life I will be around for them as long as possible. keep up the great work you do sir.
Same I'm just not interested on gaming on a phone. But I completely agree with you, the headphone jack, the hidden front camera and the flush camera on the outside is really what makes the phone interesting to me. It's basically everything that currently bothers me on my galaxy s21 ultra. I've looked at their website and the company basically belongs or is part of nubia, which makes non gaming phones. Sadly their phones do not have a flush camera on the outside (because of the lenses and sensors) and no headphone jack as far as I could see... But it has the hidden front camera!
I have an ASUS gaming phone I don't use for gaming, and is no less amazing for normal use. Best thing about these phones is they have unusually large batteries and better wifi.
I've been alive for 21 years and I never thought they'd deliver a bezel less smartphone so flawlessly. Been thinking of getting it after a while during discount season.
@@youdontneedmyrealname its like me saying "I didn't think the graphics in games would look so realistic, its like real life" and you replying with a "but they dont look like real life"
I own the Red Magic 8 Pro. Go ahead. These phones are real beauties. The black version of the 9 Pro is so sleek.. I'm barely containing myself from upgrading.
Thank god it has nice fat bezels. Those wrapped glass edged phones are such a horrible idea. Not that I'd spend this kind of money and not put a case on it anyways.
It looks like it’s a bit thick but with no camera bump and the blower fan it makes up for it. And it’s a really good gaming phone plus a really good looking phone.
Those under glass cameras look absolutely wild, though im sure they had to compromise space which could have been used to further improve the picture quality with more depth in the camera module.
it's crazy how much those under-screen cameras have improved! i love seeing improvements like these, it really makes me wonder what we'll see over the next few years
can't wait for cameras behind the glass to be the norm. Quality is getting close! Albeit not quite there yet.

it's not often when i am impressed by a phone's design, but this right here is perfect. it's futuristic yet not over the top, and beautifully engineered
Chinese phone
I really don't like camera bumps, so I find this flat back camera module really awesome, and the under the screen front camera is nice and is getting better too.
I've always loved redmagic's Innovation. You don't see change in phones much anymore so every time they make one it's actually interesting and different
You commented before the video was even released, how?
Wtf time travel is real

I absolutely love the microscope view of the under-screen camera. Seeing the tiny individual LEDs next to the already tiny camera gives you a good perspective on how insane the engineering and manufacturing of those screens must be, even more so if you keep in mind that all of them are individually addressable.
It's so good to see a company that is still trying to actively improve the design of smart phones. so many have just copy pasted the same design for years now. I love the in line cameras. i've always hated the bezels... remember the one plus 7 with the neat little pop up camera, or that Asus phone where it flipped round from the rear of the phone... at least they tried. The underscreen selfie cam is a great idea imho. super happy to see it finally half useful.
been a oneplus user for a decade, turned to samsung in the last 2 years, tested a rog 3 a few years back and i'm seriously thinking about getting a redmagic pro in the future... thanks for the extraordinary set of test, and i'll see you around !
It's nice to see what was originally a niche product - a gaming focused device with most other features taking a back seat - becoming more well rounded and incorporating a few features the big players are still shying away from.
1:52 I was not ready for the burn.
It's kinda funny that the company whose first phone had huge lens attachments as a selling point now has the smallest camera bump as a selling point
This is one of the most uniquely designed phones I have seen in a long time. I like the idea of the front facing cameras being not able to be seen, it opens up more screen space! Everything about it is fascinating. The RGB lights and lack of camera bumps are fascinating. It’s nice to see some innovation and desire to stand out
Lol you are crazy, we need to know where the camera is so that we can cover it up
@@anigah From what?
@@unicodeqcover it up to ensure you are not being spied on
@@anazahmed509 Everything is already spying on you, ur watch, ur headphones, ur fridge possibly, ur car, ur tv, ur current phone anything and everything technology is spying on you some way
Totally solid build. Love the flat back and the invisible camera. Excited to see some other manufacturers work this into their phones!!!
Some have.
There is a price in image quality though. I'd much rather have an unimpeded lens.
Same reason I switched to S24 Ultra from iPhone after using them for 17 years straight. The rounded corner slabs have become boring. I've been far more "excited" over S24 Ultra than any of the last 4-5 iPhones I've owned? It feels like MY phone, not an iPhone I've "rented" from Apple until they release a new one. The customization options are insanely granular, allowing users to customize just about anything within Android. The beauty is that customization is purely optional and by no means required. I was blown away by the options to customize the keyboard alone. My only regret is not switching earlier. 🤦
Innovative and futuristic idea by Redmagic. It's really fascinating that the company gives us an idea of the near future and definitely deserves remark.
That's one ugly phone though.
@@Chris.in.taiwanIn my opinion, the RedMagic 9 has a better design compared to the latest ROG 8. The design of the ROG 8 looks cheap to me, especially considering it's pricier than the RedMagic 9.
@@Chris.in.taiwanyoure relatively alone with that opinion
@@tubemash3772 No he’s right it looks atrocious 😂😂😂
Do people really care about how thin a phone is? I mean this phone looks really slick and seems to fit your hand just fine, without rocking like a rocking chair on a flat surface.
I miss 3.5mm jack being standard. This seems like an interesting choice for a phone. Ill have to look at the sofware support. As I tend to hold onto phones for at least a few years. Unless something happens to it or the upgrade is really justified.
Keep missing it then because we dont need more holes on our phones, we need less.
No Bluetooth based audio device that fits in your hand comes close to a longevity and performance of good wired earphones on a phone with a good dac like Lg v40
So missing it is justified. When did holes in phones ever bother anyone at all? That’s the lamest reason I’ve seen for getting rid of headphone jacks 😂
@@hankagura5355you're a smooth brained LPhone sheeple.
This is the first time I have been genuinely excited to see a new phone be released. Every other time it's just the same phone with 1 or 2 very minor changes, but this just seems to do everything right! Also, seeing you scrape and scratch the phone crushed my soul, but I'm very happy to actually see how well it handles damage.
I'm another one who rarely ever uses the front-facing camera, and this phone is definitely iterating towards my preferences. Very cool to see the progress while keeping a headphone jack and losing the ever-increasing camera bump.
if theese come to mainstream Phones, Imma be absolutely pumped
I'd take a worse Selfy Camera over a hole in my screen anytime, but I really don't like the gamery stuff of Red Magic.
I hope other Manufacturers are listening
redmagic should of used a popup selfie camera instead. much higher photo quality and they look cooler too and would match a gaming phone
I'm surprised phone manufacturers still remember what a headphone jack is.
I really hope more manufacturers adopt the 'no camera bump'. This makes phones look crazy good. Also, the all screen front makes it look like something from star trek. Very slick.
No bump on the back is nice, but putting the front camera under the screen may degrade the quality of the picture since the light has to penetrate through the AMOLED layer.
Steve Jobs would back hand Tim Cook if he saw what the iPhone has turned into 🤣
@@billant2But it's also just a selfie camera so many don't expect highest quality from it anyway.
@@Nikelangelo- Ya, but why blur it, I rather see a better selfie pic through a tiny hole.
@@billant2 I think this way it looks nicer. I don't even remember the last time I used the front camera aside from the iris scanner
Okay, the no camera bump thing actually made my jaw drop. I can't believe the amount of stuff they could fit inside this phone, meanwhile other brands keep removing features like headphone jacks because "there is no space". Although I'm not sure I'll upgrade to this in a good while since I have the redmagic 8 pro and, as this test showed, it's really sturdy! I can tell it's gonna last many many years.
no bump because it is 3/4 an inch thick!!
Can I ask how the red magic phone is holding up I wanna get something similar but I’m afraid it might not last long
@@omaralarbid3205 Really good, it's a great phone for what it costs, the build quality is great, so I do think it's gonna last very long if you take care of it. The only downside I can think of after a year and a half of using it are probably the Redmagic OS not being as good as something like a Samsung or other bigger brands since it doesn't have built in apps like Gallery for example, so you have to use Google Photos or other apps. But it is an Android phone so you can use any app you want and customize how you like it.
I wonder how much time will it take for other companies to make under the screen front cameras, but still the no camera bump thing was even more amazing for me
The underscreen camera is not anything new, it appeared years ago. problem is that with higher resolution, the camera image quality significantly drops. Most phone companies couldn't bear with it, cuz normal users still cares about that😂
Front camera inside the display is so cool, hope it will be normal practice for phone manufacturers soon!
I really enjoyed this one, im always a bit anxious with the flame test but boy did this Phone hold up to it. Quite impressive to only take damage by the scratch test basically.
One thing tho, maybe it would be a good addition to scratch the top pixels to see how scratches affect the selfie camera quality.
Even if I wont win one, Im probably getting the phone. Had ZTE for a long time(until i broke em and sit on an S5 now lol) and the Axon 7 was actually one of my absolute favourites.
Красивый телефон!
Buddy you're so hilarious I both love and hate your videos. I hate seeing you destroy all this beautiful Tech but I love hearing your jokes part of me does enjoy you destroying these things. I think what I enjoy the most is how you do it with such a calm demeanor
the "destruction" he does is actually very helpful believe or not, he is very methodic with the way he damages the things so it gives good perspective on quality of the materials, he tears down flagship smartphones as he gets them so if you want to repair yours you can look at his video for reference of where the pieces go. Its not so much of a destruction but a teardown and quality control
4:20 2030 iPhone will call it an "Air-Jack" that will provide world leading seamless audio
"Ijack"😂
@@cezarsobaLMAO NICE ONE 🤣 🤣 🤣
Apple removed the headphone jack first and then all the androids followed after
Literally everybody owns wireless headphones now, thanks to Apple
@@ItsMinarmy and I dont like it bc no matter how good they say the latency is as of right now there will always be a delay
Ngl, I love the concept of truly bezeless screen and the under panel camera. I hope computer screens can implement that and once and for all remove the issue of never looking the person in the eyes during video conference calls
I really like the seamless/flat design of it. I think the bump on the flash is to prevent the flash from lighting up the glass for the cameras and causing huge bloom.
For the teardown video, could you mention about the ergonomics of holding it? Like does it feel super heavy when holding it one handed, and if the corners are sharp?
Bro you are a genius!
I can’t wait til under display cameras get perfected as they are my favorite solution to the whole notch/hole punch/Dynamic Island situation. I definitely think pop up cameras are neat too but having more moving parts in a phone, especially like that would probably result in a broken and glitched out front facing camera at some pint, despite the supposed durability. Also, having fans on a phone is a neat way to limit heat, keeping not only the phone cool but the battery. A hot battery = a degraded battery so having the fan is quite nice. Idk if these fans actually help cool down the battery but if they do that’s pretty sweet.
Ive had a moving camera for about 4 years now. I've used it for face unlock
I absolutely love the idea of hidden front camera. Overall this phone does look nice.
What is missing here is some sort of docking station for this phone so it could be used as "desktop", at least in some form. Modern phones do have enough power to be used as such, it would be really nice.
I still use Asus 7 Pro with a flip-able camera module and it is the best solution. No notch or hole in the screen. Main camera, which is always way better than front-facing camera in any phone, acting as a selfie camera. Wide-angle camera is very useful when you want to take a selfie with a large group of people. And flash light is also available. Moreover flip-able module allows to take a panorama photos very quickly and reliable, it scans around in less than 2 seconds. And last, but not least, sometimes I rotate camera module by just 45 degrees to conveniently take a photo of tall buildings or a photo from below.
Shame that the concept never became popular and it is completely abandoned now.
couldn't you just use a samsung dex for that?
It's an android phone, it probably supports dex.
Never heard of red magic until your videos. Good way for them to get to show off their awesome hardware. Looking forward to the teardown
The flat backs 100% are the way forward for me. And seeing a functional underscreen selfie cam is really cool too!
Flat backs, headphone jack, no notch/punchhole and boxy design instead of the common soap holder shape. I think I finally found a worthy opponent to my favorite phone, the Xperia Z Ultra.
Chinese phones are best
Wow! been a while since I was actually stunned with the exterior design of a smartphone
How can you not be in love with the Snowfall version??
That perfect block shape they have is the feature I didn't know I wanted until I saw this. Kudos for Redmagic for continuing to innovate despite the other phone companies becoming more risk-averse when it comes to developments like this.
most phones look the same since the smartphone era but this thing is so cool to look at. I always go for black but this is the first time I feel like leaning toward the white one
I usually don't like brick phones but this one's design is freaking awesome! I love how the phone resembles like a starship, and it has this like mecha-ish design on its back.
That back design with no bumps is awesome, can't wait to see other manufacturers do it too. Love your vids, Zack.
My LG V50 has had it's cameras behind the glass and a smooth bumpless backside since 2019 lol. No clue why camera bumps were ever even a thing since clearly it was already possible to design them with a flat smooth back surface if they wanted to.
Really solid phone. Love to see some common sense in overall innovative design, like no camera bump and headphone jack. Great piece of technology. Keep it up Jerry, love these videos!
The front camera is the scariest shit ever. Gives the word hidden camera a new meaning.
5:30 = Sound😮😂
Wtf
Ouch
That close-up of the AMOLED screen with the microscope was really cool! Wild to think how much detail we can see when the pixels are that spread out in reality. Awesome video, like always!
That camera under the screen is such a neat idea; I was waiting for the downsides but overall this is just a super solid looking phone. A happy early new year to you as well!
It's poorer photo quality wasn't too huge of a deal, either. It is a front facing camera after all, which is more of a "secondary" camera, anyways, which nobody uses to take "high quality" photos.
For the purpose of face recognition, making a quick video call, or making a funny face with a friend, it's perfectly capable.
Been watching your tear downs for years, appreciate them immensely.. Tech seems to move real fast these days now.
Really had me anxious while you were testing such a pricey phone's durability, but as expected of the price, it would most likely survive, I've had my eyes on this phone for quite a while upon release, it was perfect, with its high performance capability and such a sleek design that will surely attract hardcore mobile gamers out there like me! I love how this video also shows how durable the device is against numerous challenges regarding its durability, which furthermore increases my desire for this phone, as always, 10/10 video, keep making more of these, very entertaining and experimental!
It's insane how much a simple change can make so much difference toward the overall charm of a phone. Well done Red Magic indeed.
What a good looking phone. Finally glad to see no big camera bumps or any "notches" on the front. No curved edge screens that break far too easily and a headphone jack to boot! 80 watt charge port dang.
Chinese make the best phones
That no camera bump is absolutely wide! Phone is very aesthetically pleasing and a great package.
Interesting to see the audio port for the wired headphones. I hope other manufacturers look to adopt similar technology on their devices.
bro couple of years ago this was normal xD IDK who the fck had the idea to remove aux ports from phones like wtf man
@@elsen7125 Apple had.
@@elsen7125 I was going to say the same thing
@@elsen7125it was apple
@@elsen7125It's to make the phone thinner apparently, but literally nobody asked for it
The jump from the sd gen 2 to 3 in terms of performance is massive
At that price range, its really cool to see the headphone jack again. Kind of sad that expandable storage pass the $200 mark are out of the question though.
Isn't there a 1TB version of the RM9?
It will be interesting how long it takes for the more major companies to integrate under screen front facing camera's, and how they will look, but I'm sure you'll cover them for us! Keep up the good work!
Honestly love the flat camera section on the back. My biggest gripe with almost every smart phone I've used in recent years
I love how this phone looks. I'm such a sucker for squared off phone designs. Fell in love with the (now discontinued) Razer phones 1 & 2, one of the Sony phones, the new S24 Ultra, and now this one.
"If you're under 40 it's the only real estate left"... ROFL! I love those close pixel shots, really cool showing how this tech actually works and improves. Love the content, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Jerry and Family!
I really wasn't expecting innovations like these already, especially from a brand i've never heard of before.
there a sub brand of nubia
Nubia itself a Sub of ZTE
Think red magic are massive in broadcast quality video cameras if I remember right, they make all the cameras you would get on TH-cam channels with a mil subs or more.
@@bubblebobblekd no, you're thinking of a different brand named red
@@DE3P2 Oh thanks for that! I thought this was from the Red, the one manufactures Komodo and Raptor cameras.
Having a cooling fan in a phone seems overkill
“Scratches at a level 6 with deeper grooves at a level 7” Never gets old 3:37
Phones look amazing! Cameras behind the glass should be a must have in 2023. I think the quality of selfie cameras will always dip, but I don’t think really really matters for the front. Great video, as always 👍
Pretty awesome to see the under the screen front camera getting better! I've been wanting a phone like that forever. Had one of the pop up motor ones a few years back but this is so much cleaner and innovative. Thanks for superb vids as usual.
All you have to do to get rid of a camera bump is make your phone thick AF. What an innovation!
Definitely looks futuristic, I especially love the lack of camera bump. Even my iPhone 7 has the uncanny ability to collect scratches across the camera whenever I put it down on a rough surface, can't imagine its any better for more the latest phones
It's crazy how the hidden camera looks that good as well as the flattened camera on the backside! Having the audio jack is a plus from me.
Awesome phone , first phone that can defend itself from your burn test 👍🏻 already gave a thumbs up for that , Thanks @jeery for showcasing the phone on your channel will definitely see the teardown video of this phone and i will try my best to have one of these phones with me on that day when you release that teardown video.🙃
yeah, I am waiting for the teardown video to drop as well
@@budgetarms Same.. Guess we'll never see it lol
You may forgot to mention the IR-Blaster near the 3.5mm audio port; An even rarer sight indeed.
Under-display camera quality has improved very significantly from what I last remember! Holy hell that camera being usable is definitely a pretty big improvement! Remember the old under-display camera phones where the selfie camera pictures were so soft, they were practically fuzzy!
It’s awesome to see the quality of under display cameras are getting better. Can’t wait to see more companies adopt and improve on it.
Amazing how a little flat cube can look so nice and sleek. I didn't expect to see a camera completly hidden under the screen this early too. Technology is evolving like crazy
The folding phone had it a few years ago now I think
personally have never used a phone for gaming but this is definitely a interesting one with the internal self camera. can't wait to see the teardown to see the beautiful internals of this well crafted machine. Goal for the next year is to get into a better standing health-wise so that if and when a child enters my life I will be around for them as long as possible.
keep up the great work you do sir.
Same I'm just not interested on gaming on a phone. But I completely agree with you, the headphone jack, the hidden front camera and the flush camera on the outside is really what makes the phone interesting to me. It's basically everything that currently bothers me on my galaxy s21 ultra. I've looked at their website and the company basically belongs or is part of nubia, which makes non gaming phones. Sadly their phones do not have a flush camera on the outside (because of the lenses and sensors) and no headphone jack as far as I could see... But it has the hidden front camera!
I have an ASUS gaming phone I don't use for gaming, and is no less amazing for normal use. Best thing about these phones is they have unusually large batteries and better wifi.
I know aesthetics are subjective, but I dig these designs. Very refreshing to see something different in the phone scene! Great Job Red Magic!
I've been alive for 21 years and I never thought they'd deliver a bezel less smartphone so flawlessly. Been thinking of getting it after a while during discount season.
There are most certainly bezels.
@@youdontneedmyrealname its like me saying "I didn't think the graphics in games would look so realistic, its like real life" and you replying with a "but they dont look like real life"
I own the Red Magic 8 Pro. Go ahead. These phones are real beauties. The black version of the 9 Pro is so sleek.. I'm barely containing myself from upgrading.
@gametester8769 there are definitely decent sized bezels on this phone bro
Thank god it has nice fat bezels. Those wrapped glass edged phones are such a horrible idea. Not that I'd spend this kind of money and not put a case on it anyways.
It looks like it’s a bit thick but with no camera bump and the blower fan it makes up for it.
And it’s a really good gaming phone plus a really good looking phone.
Those under glass cameras look absolutely wild, though im sure they had to compromise space which could have been used to further improve the picture quality with more depth in the camera module.
it's crazy how much those under-screen cameras have improved! i love seeing improvements like these, it really makes me wonder what we'll see over the next few years
The problem with this phone is a little bit hard to find the replacement part when it break.I used to have one and it was annoying to fix
Well don't break it in the first place
