First I’m not a gamer, but I need a powerful phone with big screen, USB3.0 or better data transfer and most of all, a 3.5mm headphone jack! This has it all. It has an awesome big screen with graphics subprocessor system that makes it extremely fast, which wasn’t absolutely necessary, but it plays my powerpoint files breathtakingly fast. The USB 3.2 connector connects easily to my PC because it is important for me to transfer large data files to and from the phone. It works great. It has 12GB ram and 256GB rom, the minimum for this phone. That is more than I need but you can upgrade to much more memory and storage. I use the 3.5mm headphone jack nearly every day to play music and videos, and absolutely would not have a phone without one. The BATTERY is a monster. It has two 3,000 mah batters totaling 6,000 mah. What that means is the way I use it, I only have to charge it every 3 days! And after I run it down below 20%, it recharges all the way to full in about 15 minutes. Amazing. I had heard that the camera wasn’t the best, but it is plenty good for me. It has Sony lenses and takes great photos and videos, in high resolution if you want, and even has a pro mode for mini picture adjustments that I will never do. And it costs literally half what a flagship samsung or iphone cost, half. I cannot comment on games which this phone was designed for, because I don’t play games. The simple cheap case I bought for it looks sleek and great. The only possible negative is that it’s heavy, because of the huge battery that lasts forever. SUMMARIZING: this is one awesome phone that any older non-gamer will be thrilled to own. BTW, I am a simple consumer, I don’t work in the tech field.

I wanted a phone that had good graphics and long battery life and This phone was one of the first results that came up. The reviews were good and the price was far cheaper then others so i went ahead and bought it and used it for a month or two.
First off ive always had samsungs phones. While both of them are android based, they felt completely different from eachother. Now for the review.
Pros:
1. The screen is beautiful. I never seen a phone screen that looked this good.
2. The battery life is insane. It blows my mind just how long this phone can stay alive. After a long night at work it’ll still be at around 80%
3. Can have two sims cards in at once and switch easily between the two.
Now for the cons:
1.Every app is google based. If you like google then this shouldn’t be an issue but for me its very annoying. I shouldn’t have to log into google to use simple apps like calender or gallery.
2. Lots of settings that bypass eachother. For instance, theres 2 different default setting that turns apps off completely so they are not running in background. This meant i wasn’t getting any notifications from things like discord and twitch, and also games that used locations like pokemon go or pikmin bloom wouldnt work properly. I had to turn off this feature twice to get apps running normally again.
3. 3G, 4G, and 5G have a defualt setting where all phone calls use RTT. Its a feature mainly used for those hard of hearing as what ever someones saying is automatically typed out. Problem is everyone who answers your phone call will have their phone put on mute unless they manually turn it off themselfs. Good luck explaining this to every single person you call. No you can’t turn this off in the settings. Just google “how to turn off RTT on red magic 8” to see the hundreds of other people frustrated with this.
4.the camera doesn’t take bad photos but isn’t good either. Thats wasn’t really an issue for me but the photo editor was. Most basic editing features are locked behind a monthly subscription paywall from google. Which is insane.
5. I know this is advertised as a gaming phone but it has such a bad stereotypical gamer aesthetic i kinda cringed. Black and red, dark, warrior, Anime Girl AI companion.
Tldr: the phone had want I wanted. Beautiful screen, amazing battery life but it came with so many other problems it wasn’t worth it. Even for the price.

It’s an excellent phone. Coming from iphone 12 pro max this phone is superior in every way. I am on the t mobile network already so idk about the network compatability issues which others have spoken to.
I am going to explain how you turn off RTT calling though, which will make this phone incrementally better for you and the people you call.
How to turn off RTT calling:
Go to Settings
Mobile Network
Change network type to “3G”
Go into your dialer
Go into settings
Accessabilities
Turn off RTT
Return to phone settings
Mobile network
Turn 5g back on
Done
Pros: The screen is excellent, the CPU is excellent, the GPU is excellent, the refresh rate is excellent, the battery life is excellent, the charging speed is extremely fast, it’s light weight, asthetically pleasing, the software is excellent and I have not seen any mandarin to English translation issues, customer service is prompt and thorough.
Cons: There is a serious lack of accessories in the market for this device, finding a high quality case (ie OtterBox, Pelican, Mouse, etc) is impossible, finding a real leather case is impossible, not many Android OS updates will be made available, phone and accessories are priced much lower on manufacturer website (ie “on sale” here is MSRP w/o markup), requires some tweaking (RTT off) to actually be a functional phone for any sort of business calls, game controller accessory doesn’t seem to fully function with mobile games (PUBG only one joystick is responsive) however this could be due to the fact that idk how to set it up yet, customer service is very opaque regarding any sort of future updates or cut off for software or security updates and I find conflicting information online but again may be my own mistake.
Overall it’s a very very high quality phone. The performance is like nothing I have ever seen in a mobile device. It technically has more ram at 22gb than my Acer Predator Helios 300 which has 16 gigs of ram and a 3070 Ti that Jarod labeled an “S class” laptop in 2022. I feel like this is a much more appropriate phone to pair with that laptop, the iphone 12 always seemed like it was lacking by comparison. If you have a gaming laptop I’d suggest this phone just for the fact that it will feel more like a seamless experience with the high refresh rate and benchmark scores when you switch from your laptop to your mobile device. The issues with accessories are a big problem though, I would really like to have an ecco leather case or something more substantial like an OtterBox on a phone like this. I found that the magsafe environment on the iphone was convenient, but I ultimately never used the wireless charging or the magsafe charger after the first year because they were so slow compared to the wired charger, and the redmagic wire charger blows that one away by comparison. It’s also worth noting that the heat difference between this and the iphone is unbelievable, that stupid iphone was always overheating, this redmagic phone doesn’t even heat up while fast charging. The integrated fan is a very welcome trade off instead of an IPXX rating as I rarely take my electronics into the pool and I do not make tik tok videos of my phone traveling through tunnels in canals. It would be like if the predator laptop didn’t have any fans and instead I could throw it into the pool and not have to use my brain for stupid things like consequences. I guess a dust rating might be helpful though, especially since I can’t take the phone apart like I can the laptop to CLEAN the fan so it’s not a fair comparison. I use all of these devices for work too and they are all perfectly suited to that environment. The only thing lacking from a business / functionality standpoint is the lack of an integrated stylus, but idk where they would even put one in something which I imagine must be very compact internally. However the ability to cast to my projector via the integrated widget is an excellent trade off and the ability to connect a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse as well as a monitor and Ethernet is just on a whole other level. I haven’t tried running MS suite on this yet but I’m not worried about it. I don’t see excel slowing this thing down with pivot tables, multiple tabs, or complex equations having to load. I have not tried the mouse and keyboard yet but I am excited to in the future and with my projector as a screen.
For accessories I would suggest a carbon fiber case and glass screen protector (because I can’t find anything else), with a ram mount phone holder since this does not support wireless charging. Give the lack of a good case on the market and the delicate nature of such a powerful phone you don’t want to skimp on the car mount and end up with a broken phone. Otherwise it’s a fantastic upgrade and I can’t see any reason not to switch from anything else on the market. For what it’s worth t mobile has become a fantastic network after the purchase of Sprint, I have 5G almost everywhere I go and I do a lot of overlanding.

FLASH! – I have had to amend my review. At the time I wrote the original review which I left in its entirety, after an update, this phone developed a serious problem with RTT and making phone calls. RTT stands for Real-Time Text. It’s a call type that allows people to communicate using text instead of speech. RTT is similar to closed captions or subtitles but in real-time. The problem is not only does it make simple calling much more difficult but it requires the one receiving the call to do the same thing. On most cell phones this is simple to turn on and off.
On this phone it is not – it cannot be turned off! Even after contacting the manufacturer, they have no fix for this problem short of creating a whole new update which they admit will take time and there is no expected date it would be released! There are some workarounds but as soon as you reboot the phone you have to do this again as there is no permanent fix for this issue!
I, therefore, have had to return the phone is in its current condition and despite all the good things about it, it is useless to use in a normal manner not only for you but for the person receiving the call! As such I have reduced the stars to three, but I will say if they do get the problem fixed soon I will probably repurchase the phone!
(Original Review) Understanding that this is a so-called “gaming phone,” I don’t think anybody has just decided to use this phone as a “normal” phone. Its gaming properties and abilities are without question just as good as using a home computer, but its everyday use with regular apps is where I think it really shines!
I have been using a Galaxy ZFold 5, and before that a S23 Ultra, and without a doubt, these are two fantastic phones, but I found certain difficulties with using them on a normal basis. They just didn’t do simple very well.
The other thing people key on and I really don’t understand why, are the cameras. The downside according to the reviews about the Red Magic 8S Pro, was how terrible the cameras were. Pictures were blurry, colors were washed out, did not do well in low light, and the list goes on. They excused all of this in the reviews by focusing on the fact that this is a “gaming” phone so who should expect Frederico Fellini-type pictures and videos?
What about just regular pictures that don’t have to be scrutinized by cinematographers and photographers looking for exact color matches? The pictures I’ve taken with this camera over the week I’ve had it looked no different to me than the pictures I took with the S23 Ultra or the ZFold 5! It does 8K video. It does slow motion. It does reasonably good macro shots.
The bottom line is I did not buy this phone simply for the cameras or taking photographs and videos. The cameras are more than sufficient for the average person who doesn’t spend their life studying cinematography or taking pictures for television. In fact, taking some pictures at work I shocked some people when they found out they were not taken with the S23 Ultra, but rather they were taken with my Red Magic 8S Pro (they read the reviews too).
As for everyday use, phone calls, text messages, and other apps from utilities, to editing, to PDFs, and other basic stuff this phone is so fast it runs circles around whatever else I’ve ever owned! Battery life is beyond belief. Yesterday was a big test where I used it constantly for more than 17 hours, battery level never dropped below 75%! Another contention was that it is not water and dust-rated. That is okay for me because it can take splashes such as rain, and I use it every day in a not-so-dust-free environment. The glass is not Victus but is Gorilla Glass 5. As I do with all my phones I put a solid glass screen protector on, I do prefer film but could not find any right away. So that constitutes a fix for the glass problem. I also bought, as I do for every phone, a nice case and it fits nicely into the same leather holster that I used for my ZFold 5. And there you have it – total protection!
It is intuitive and as of yet there hasn’t been one problem with it. Gaming aside, if you’re looking for a solid phone with fantastic features and you do not plan to go swimming underwater with it, this is the phone for you!
Kindle Customer –
I purchased this phone for my teenage son and he says that the phone is awesome!! It is visibly sleek and nice looking. The phone feels heavyweight and my son says that the phone charges rather quickly. There is also a fan built into the phone. My son mainly uses the phone for gaming. He loves the speed when playing games. Overall, a great purchase!

I purchased this as a replacement for my OnePlus 7 pro. The phone is awesome.
Pros: Huge battery, active cooling that stays off until needed, works great with T-Mobile, UDC under display camera, no holes or distractions in the display, Fast Charging, lots, global firmware with updates, Fingerprint reader accuracy.
Cons: Limited ringtones, no wireless charging.
If you are thinking about buying, no worries this is the best phone on the market.
Great work Red Magic/ Nubia!!!!

First of all, I bought this for gaming. I am more than impressed by its no notch/punch hole display, performance, battery life, speakers, sound quality over headphone jack, battery charge speed…it does the job…however if used as a normal phone to make and receive calls then it’s a mixed reaction. Sometimes it drops the cell network signal, its earpiece sound quality during calls is not good and doesn’t support eSims (which is very handy when traveling).

El dispositivo no es perfecto, le falta optimizar el software, creo que es el punto más debil pero con actualizaciones seguro van a pulir los pequeños detalles.
El rendimiento es sobresaliente, 10/10.
En juegos, muy bueno aunque el a17pro del iPhone 15 pro max es superior.
La camara delantera es el punto más debil del dispositivo, deben mejorar esta tecnologia de camara bajo pantalla.
En linea general, es un equipo muy bueno que cumple en el dÃa a dÃa y sobre sale en el aspecto gaming.
Saludos.

Very fast processing, 16gb/512 version I am very impressed with, I can launch apps and they stay running all day in the background unlike my Moto. Stuff like shizuku, just started once and it runs all day. Customizers beware though red magic OS is a beast of its own and doesn’t like to cooperate with things like AOSP mods module, and it even seems to fight game guardian. Overall though I can’t be more satisfied, do be careful updating past 8.2.11 or whatever as you’ll have to go to edl mode to unlock the bootloader after that. Hopefully go get some source code released soon and I’m happy!

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.
