REDMAGIC 10 Pro Smartphone 5G, 144Hz Gaming Phone, 6.8" FHD+ Screen, Under Display Camera, 7050mAh Android Phone, Snapdragon 8 Elite, 12+256GB, 80W Charger, Dual-Sim, US Unlocked Cell Phone Black

The media could not be loaded. I've been using the Redmagic 10 Pro for a week now, and I must say, it's an exceptional device that caters perfectly to both gamers and everyday users. Here's what I thought stood out:Pros:- No Camera Bump: The rear camera sits flush with the back, giving the phone a sleek and uniform design. It's refreshing not to have a huge camera module protruding out the back.- Invisible Front Camera: The under-display front camera ensures an uninterrupted, full-screen experience, making gaming and media consumption more immersive. It makes me mad how flagships are charging such high prices with huge notches and camera cutouts (looking at you Apple,Samsung, and Google especially Google with the massive circular cutout, super unnecessary).- 3.5mm Headphone Jack: In an era where headphone jacks are disappearing, it's fantastic to have this feature for high-quality, wired audio without the need for adapters. My Sony Xm5s died during a flight and oh guess who saved the day, the headphone jack did :D- Built-in Cooling Fan: Honestly one of the coolest part of the phone, the built-in fan keeps the device cool during intensive gaming sessions and fast charging. Honestly impressive how well it manages temps. One thing I'm scared of though is dust build up in the future.- Pre-applied Screen Protector & Included Case: Out of the Box, the phone comes with a screen protector already applied and a high-quality case, saving time and additional expenses on accessories.- 80W Fast Charging with Quality Cable: The included 80W charger and premium USB-C cable charge the massive 7,050 mAh battery incredibly fast. I can go from 0% to 100% in just a little over 40 minutes, I've never been happier to let my phone die knowing I can charge it back up real quick.- Performance: What can I say, the Snapdragon 8 Elite is a god. Wish it had 16GB of ram but oh well, 12GB is enough. Not complaining at 800$.- Display: The 6.85 inch AMOLED display with a 144hz refresh rate is stunning... 144hz? Even the iPhone 16 at a similar price point only offers 60hz and this offers 144hz... For 800$? Damn.Cons:- Software Quirks: While the hardware is top-notch, the software could use some refinement. There are occasional bugs, and the dreadful RTT fall only, Jesus that was painful, to fix it I had to change my preferred network to 3G in the settings by going to mobile data then preferred network type, and then go to the phone app settings (where you make phone calls), disable RTT and then change my preferred network back to 5G... A Pain. A problem you won't get with Apple for sure.- Camera performance: The cameras are decent but not flagship-level. They perform well in good lighting, but struggle in low light conditions. The front camera is especially atrocious making you look ugly in your selfies, while the main back camera makes you look like an actual person💀.Conclusion:Sorry this was a long read, but at $800, the Redmagic 10 Pro offers unparalleled value, especially for mobile gamers. The combination of thoughtful hardware features, like the no camera bump, headphone jack, and built-in cooling, along with the inclusion of essential accessories, makes it a standout choice. If you're looking for a high performance phone that doesn't compromise on gamer-centric features, this is the one to get.

I broke my old phone so it forced me to get this at full price of 750 - I wish I got it at the 600 it goes for some times but I still think this phone is worth it at 750. If you can be patient though wait for a deal.The fact that it comes with a phone case in the box AND a 80w charger is great value not to mention every single top tier spec - the base model comes with 12 gb ram which I think is plenty so not worth upgrading to the 16 or 24 gb of ram but guess what... as long as you leave at least 12 gb of storage available in memory the phone can use 12 gb of space from that 256 gb to act as an additional 12 gb of ram to total 24 in the base model... IDK What the heck I'd even use all that ram for. I don't really game on mobile but I do play some OSRS (Old school runescape) occasionally and this phone runs it flawlessly. Battery is amazing... It feels like double my old phone and the FULL screen from edge to edge with no cut corners, no curved screen, no hole punch or notch, super bright and crisp high res with high fps makes this phone feel so fluid...Literally the best phone on the market is all I can say - checks every single spec box - if you don't care about having the best cameras on market, or samsung/apple software this is absolutely the hands down best there is :)... I do wish a good brand would make a phone case though for this... just really lame looking "gamer" phone cases that don't offer the protection you'd really want. Oh well.

Edit: wifi connection sucks. It would connect for a little bit, the won't receive signal. It will keep you connected to wifi, but will act as if you have no internet. I keep my wifi off for best data performance, which is great for me. For those looking to stay connected to wifi, this may be a deal breaker. I've looked on Reddit and this seems to be an issue with the 8 series. Hopefully it gets patched, but considering it's been over 6 months, it's unlikely.I left Android for iPhone about 5 years ago, and I always missed the freedom Android gave me. The "major" updates Apple gave had been old features for Android. Recently, I fell in a rabbit hooe searching for Android gaming devices, and decided between this and the Samsung 23 Ultra.I got the 23 Ultra, and instantly fell in love, but the Red Magic 8 Pro was my first pick, as a gaming (emulation) was my priority, so I returned the 23 and grabbed the Translucent 8 Pro. While the 23 Ultra is the better feature rich phone, the 8 Pro is a gaming beast.First, I tested Genshin Impact, and while it performs better on iPhone 13 Pro Max (on Medium settings), this phone plays great with MAX setting when you set the in phone game mode settings to rise and the fan is blasting. To get great gameplay without compromising resolution and frame rate AND not having your phone turn into a piece of hot coal after 20 minutes is a absolut win for me. Mapping touch screen buttons to a controller definitely is a negative, as the performance is massively noticeable, compared to iOS native controller support, but that's a small price to pay for gaming freedom. I used the GameSir X2 (Bluetooth) for every phone.As mentioned earlier, my main reason for switching is freedom, and part of that is emulation without hacking (jailbreaking) my phone. I downloaded everything from NES to GameCube, GameBoy to 3ds, and this is where the Red Magic 8 Pro 16gb version outclasses the 23 Ultra. Right of the bat, every game I tested looked and performed better.With Mario 3D Land, the 23 Ultra played decently with 2x resolution ("chugged" here and there) while the Red had the same performance at 4x resolution on Rise mode. Dropped it to 3x and Balanced, and it played PERFECTLY. Visually, there is almost no difference in visuals between 3x and 4x on the phone, and was only able to tell them apart when I zoomed in on the screenshots I took to compare the different resolutions (from 2x to 4x).I won't explain every test I did (which took about 3 hours), but the one that impressed me most was God of War Ghost of Sparta. I was able to play that with 10x resolution on the 8 Pro on Balance mode with as if it was running at 1x resolution, while it became almost unplayable around 6x on the 23 ultra. Those gaming features truly make a difference.As for the other basic functions, some are serviceable, some are great. Calls on speaker are lower than when music plays. The music sounds great and loud to me (better than 13 Pro Max), but calls over the speaker sound like whisper in comparison. In a quiet room, any external noise would easily down out the call. Off of speaker, it sound loud and clear.Music is awesome. Streaming through Amazon Music (cuz the stupid app won't let me download and listen on another app, nor transfer out), the phone is surprisingly loud and clear. I didn't notice any distortion or unbalancing issues with the bass, and I definitely enjoyed listening through this phone than I did on the iPhone and Samsung. The fact that it has a headphone jack may not matter if you have Bluetooth headphones, but now you can tell people to "pass the aux cord" XD.The camera is surprisingly nice, considering it's primarily a gaming phone. The 13 Pro Max took some great pictures and videos, and the 23 Ultra blew that out of the water, but while the Red 8 Pro can't compete with them in a side by side comparison, they look great on their own. When you inevitably take a video or picture, you WILL be satisfied and impressed with how great they came out considering photography is not why you would consider this phone over something mainstream.Last, and certainly not least; this charges FAST AS HELL! In about 5 minutes, you'll gain about 20%. In about 30 minutes, you'll go from 2% to 90%. It doesn't matter how fast this phone dies (this WILL last you all day with moderate use) if you can charge it to 100% in such a short time. Unfortunately, it doesn't have wireless charging, but with charging speeds (65w) like this, I wouldn't use it, anyway.Tl;dr:If you want the best gaming experience on your primary phone, get the 16gb Red Magic 8 Pro.
