Overclocked Gaming Monster! | Red Magic 8S Pro Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 авг 2024
- Unboxing the Red Magic 8S Pro with a review of the gaming performance, now with an overclocked 'Leading' edition of Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. The Red Magic 8S Pro is one of the best value gamer smartphones in 2023, also boasting a 6000mAh battery, crispy AMOLED screen with hidden in-display camera and premium specs.
UK price and release date info hopefully coming soon as I've been testing and reviewing the Red Magic 8S Pro ahead of the official launch. Here's a link for more info: bit.ly/3pTQbtC
While some rumours had this gaming phone powered by a Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 2, it's actually a boosted version of the original chipset with a pimped up prime core. Very similar to what Samsung crammed into its S23 smartphones. The Red Magic 8S Pro is one of the beefiest Android mobiles of 2023, blazing through Genshin Impact, PubG etc - helped by that feature-packed gaming mode.
Most of the other specs are familiar vs the Magic 8 Pro, including the huge 6000mAh battery. You've got a sharp and poppy AMOLED screen with zero notch or orifice action, thanks to the under-display camera. And the Red Magic 8S Pro doesn't disappoint with the other specs either. While I wouldn't want to use this as my full-time phone because of the huge design and lackluster cameras, it's certainly a cracker for gaming on the go.

For a gaming phone to look this elegant is impressive, Red Magic been killing it lately.
it still looks like a toy, but yea still far better than before
@@Airihavit's only fitting
Can’t really think of buying this when you can’t bring it outside out of fear of raining lol
Only thing that made me buy galaxy s23 over the 8s pro is the water resistance
good but it doesn't get updates
Love the lack of any notch. I never use the selfie camera and wish more manufacturers would get rid of or cover it up.
You represent a tiny minority so it won't happen. You people cry too much about something so trivial anyway.
Same!
Yep bin off selfie cams on phones like this, loved my mi mix with the sliding selfie cam that I never used.
I think if this happens, you must put a screen on the back to take selfies with.
By any chance do you have the Nubia Z50 pro for a review?
finally a notchless phone. i hope theyre still making these the next 2-3 years on my next upgrade
Yeah, too bad more companies don't make them. There are plenty of people like me out there who don't take selfie every 15 minutes and would rather have uninterrupted display.
What phone are you using now?
@@jackwilson5542 The propose of front camera is not for selfie tho it is for video calls. You can do selfie or vlog but that is not the main focus of it.
ZTE has a few very good phones that hide the camera like this. This phone was the ZTE axom 40 ultra first
What do you mean finally? Isn't the Red magic 8 already notchless?
Lets appreciate how good the display is. No notch, no hole, no dynamic island. And the symmetrical bezels just make me smile 😊.
the bezel is not symeyrical..notice it still have slightly larger chin on the bottom compare to the top one.. it triggered me
you need something to grip@@Bodonism
@@Bodonismas a redmagic 8 pro user,yes i notice that too😂
That's the only thing reduced the phones value for me too
Look at the xda's developers review on it so u can see the display up close, idk why I could only barely tell the chin was bigger in this video but its actually like 2.5x the top bezel thickness like a Samsung phone bruh. The boxy phone chin bezel curse lmao who will finally break it first?
This is one of the best looking phones out now. I like the simple, boxy and industrial look.
it makes samsung or iphone look ridiculous, definetly going to buy one of this haha
@shhsjfkf2832 I mean the ultras still got that massively better looking square design but just with a punch hole. Honestly that squared off look alone puts it leagues ahead of basically anything else and the redmagic is the only other recent notable device I've seen with it. If only the display itself was as good as samsung. It couldn't crack 800 nits and was relatively colour inaccurate in tests from gsm arena and I also don't know why they're using gorilla glass 5 for the front bcuz that was also on my 7 year old s7 edge Either way if they released a $900-$1000 variant with stuff like that fixed and none of the base ram and storage upselling bs than I'd potentially get it. I also feel like a s6-s10 era samsung that never had the 2020 ceo change wouldve had something similar without the downsides by now but oh well.
It's only starting in cellphones, best laptops and pc are gaming things hehe It will happen with phones, just we have to wait a little more@@Frozoken
I have the 8 Pro, and watching videos on a bazelless and notchless phone is simply another type of experience.
Everyone I've met is impressed by it 💪🏻
Bezzel are important for a gaming and more features
@@rozi1 Not really, unless you have pudgy fingers.
Does it have a built in hotspot?
@@mr.abbott212 Of course, that's a basic smartphone feature; most smartphones have that.
And also the squared desogn, looks so much better than rounded corners that eat into your display. Glad to see samsing isn't the only one with it anymore.
Your my fav reviewer for real. Thank you buddy!🎉
Can't wait for you to hit 1million subs!!! 🎉 cheers in advance mate 🥂
HAHA.I just love the way you review. You are the most unique reviewer! I just love it and always keep this hilarous at the same time informative and enough information neeeded. You are just entertaining to watch Tech Spurt.
I love the look of this phone, the squareness is so cool.
Do you think the back is actual metal as he said or is it glass that looks like brushed aluminium? He's made this mistake in a previous red magic review..
then u'll love a phone so much better than this 8s, the S23 Ultra.
@@blitzer25blitz62 no it sucks compared to this in many crucial ways
@@user-gq3eq5bf9t no it doesn't answer anything.
@@blitzer25blitz62yeahhhh no🤣
Never thought I will feel so good looking at a display with sharp corners....
Thanks for the review I'm watching your video on my Redmagic 6S Pro. Thinking about getting the 8S Pro but wanted to see how it performed first.
I was looking for another video but the youtube preview showed you little salute and I had to watch
ZTE's Nubia line has been making gorgeous phones for a while now and this phone is drop dead sexy and packed to the brim with useful features and priced way under par. Way to go!!!!
Brilliant review
This gaming phone is proper insane! I love the bordeless display! I don't think I've seen a higher benchmark on any other Android phones (including my S23 Ultra, which is saying something)!
You didn't see any better phone because redmagic 8s pro is the most powerful Android device as of today 😂
IQ vivo are always top line in geekbench scores
@@bluelegacy2684
Love your reviews fella ! Great looking phone, with top specs !
Notchless phone is a must for dedicated gaming phone , pls don't change it for the upcoming phones✌️
I picked the case with the magnetic ring for the 27W magnetic cooling fan.
Definitely going to get this one
We are almost a million bruv keep it up
A proud RM8pro owner. Best bang for buck if you want a gaming phone , rapid charging, Good speakers and the fan is a game changer.
Man i just cant seem to get into cellphone gaming. I still prefer my switch lite for on the go gaming.
Something about a phone is like missing something.
@@dnegel9546that phone is more than quadruple the performance of a switch if not more you can emulate switch games on it with ease better then the switch itself... It's pathetic how weak the switch is it has the same performance as I chip from 6 years ago
@@dnegel9546 controller under your fingers i suppose :) but there are adapters for smartphones as far as i know or even compatibility with bluetooth controllers. and you carry our phone with u anyway, so your would reduce the carry package by a lot
@@dnegel9546 It's a thing that is like an acquired taste mobile gaming.
Having some buttons under your fingers was always the go-to for gaming.
But the touch buttons on top try to give you the feel with the mobile itself and for more you have external adapters.
I have the 8 Pro and I almost never game. It's just that it's one of the few phones in the world with a bazelless and notchless display. The boxy design is sexy af as well.
And to top it all off, a premium phone for a non-premium price - got mine for 634€ ❤
Edit: did I forget to add that it also has a headphone jack? Yep, no shitty dongles to think about, or being constantly afraid if you forgot to charge your bluetooth headphones...
I'll be buying the 9S or 10S in a year or two, that's for sure 🔥🔥
I might pick this up
Will you review the pro plus version as well?
What a beast of a gaming smartphone 😍😍😍💯
That brushed metal design is bringing back memories of my old HTC M7
M8,,M9 and HTC one as well
Reminds me of the Sony Xperia Ultra phablet range... I had so much fun with that phone since 2012.... until battery kinda died in 2019 😁
I love your reviews , No.1 ❤️
You gonna review the Xiaomi pad 6 Spurt? Or even better yet the pad 6 pro?
Whats the OS and security support situation looking like?
The birthday you had on screen is the same as mine 😄
Always so positive ❤
does it support reverse lanscape? i was curious if it would work with my gamesir x2 controller. and usb c plugs up on left when in lancape. thanks for the video
Very cool 😎👍
Just seeing that OG Mp_crossfire map makes my day better...
What a beautiful phone.
Killer looks...hope everything is fine too
Missed ya mate. 👌🏽❤️
its insane how well they covered the selfie camera lmao
I like the Titanium version but well silver is beautiful too
Nice phone. Although im worried with the fan catching dust. So how do you clean it?
Red magic just says using compressed air or a good hard blow through the intake vent should do the job
It looks awesome. Just ordered one. Cant wait to get it in my hands :)
How is it?
How is it now?
I sold it already. Lots of issues with notifications when screen was off. It looks great but they forget to just add the most basic things to work. I am not impressed with the software.
Awesome 🎉
Nice design, no notch bs, slim bezels. Well done. 👍🏿
Would lint and dust become a concern for the fan opening ventilation opening?
When going into gaming mode it makes that sound effect, how do you turn it off?
my first gaming phone was the rog 3 but that had such a mediocre display so i sold it to buy the black shark 5 pro but it suffered heating problems and mediocre battery life so i returned it 2 months ago. i think this 8s pro will finally be a true gaming phone i can buy, good display, good cooling system. basically solves the issues that the rog 3 and black shark 5 pro had.
Rog 3 is outdated af Rog 7 Ultimate fixed everything you're complaining about.
@@Sincerity1993true but this is way better purchase, it can deliver everything that Rog does and it's way cheaper, almost duble.
@@Sincerity1993 k.
@@MrPink0 Think about why it's cheaper though, the materials inside are as well otherwise they wouldn't be able to justify the low cost
@@Sincerity1993 omg🤣 dude cost of the rog is around 300+ USD in materials, price reach 1300 because of the brend name, and it has been already established over years. Red magic is fighting over that gaming industry and has to give more for less, those are the basics. I have both phones and I'm telling you there is no difference whatsover in performance. Only difference is that rog has bit better software.
wow just amazing device for gaming and its design ,Fire
I unbox already.very amazing smartphone
Is it worth getting the RM 8s pro or should I wait for the RM 9? Not sure how red magic manages the updates for older devices
I am not even interested in the gaming features, but the screen is just so damn awesome. No hole or notch, even barely rounded corners. So sexy.
Same here. I don't care about gaming the phone is just gorgeous.
I want to get the rm8pro (no this s one) But im worried about the software , the lifespawn of the battery and the future updates for the phone ( for example rm8pro have RM Os6 and this one have Rm Os8)
The battery is 6000 mah biggest of any other Android phone so even if it dies over time will last as Ling as regular Android phones also warranty bro loll😊
Can we customize the game switch to work as Ringer toggle - Silent/Loud?
Watching this on my Red Magic 8 Pro ;-)
Wasn't Redmagic the phone that gives a free figurine of their mascot in the last iteration? Looks like they're not including it in future phones😅
for me i have the iphone 12 pro max pacific blue color. is it worth to get a gaming phone. like the redmagic 8s pro or to wait for redmagic 9 pro series. is it worth the money.
Cool gaming phone, it is beautiful too, interesting how they have made it basically look like an ordinary phone and yet it's loaded, I really love the fan start up sound customisation plus it gave you a chance to let loose but all in all what a fun device these Chinese are really reading their books .
The chinese love their phone gaming, it's actually insane
@@banji7612 apparently they also love engineering and electronics.
What a combo
They also love to get to that seed phrase 😂
Out of sheer curiosity, can you try running war thunder mobile? On max ultra and 120 modes in the settings, I have a feeling that game might be just under optimized enough to make it struggle, though I'm almost not sure if it would with it's power.
i had the 7, is the 8 actually getting security updates finally? the 7 got maybe, 2 updates in the year i had it before ditching for the rog phone.
I'm concerned about the software contract of this phone is only 2 years is there a work around on that issue to prolong the handphone lifespan???
Is it sold out on the website?
do you get uk charger for uk order?
You should always use light wallpapers while reviewing phones
Where did you buy it?
Are there any issues with reception / service as it looks like a metal block?
.
Love the look of the look of this phone. If I hadn't just picked up the S23Ultra then I might've considered this
After a year the price is down 50% lol
S23u has better cameras and 500ppi vs 400 ppi of the 8s.
The S23 Ultra is superior, so don't have any regrets man. Only thing I dislike about that is the speaker placement on the sides
@@JohnSmith-ef8nrand is a good amount less tall so u don't have massive black bars that always cover the s23's hole unless ur willing to cut part of ur video off to zoom in and it's a lot on a 20:9 display, I had an s20 for years so speaking from experience, phones shouldn't have gone above 19:9 at most imo.
there is a lots of gaming phones out there, but once had a foldable phone, never go back to normal phones, the big screens just completely changed the way of gaming and watching movies on phone, I can never go back anymore.
Did temperature go above 44°C during genshin @Max settings fps ?
Hello sir, how can I actually get the 24gb Ram model??
I'm in Nigeria and I'll really love to purchase this device.
Does it have HDR for games?
Cant wait for the sd gen3 version
Thanks for the video 😁💙✝️
Hi, Does the redmagic 8s pro have automatic call recording?
Why about dust collecting around the vents of the fan ???
Awesome deal 🤝
Good looking phone
the best looking and best priced gaming phone out got mine for 600 with the early bird special you cant beat the price to performance value here
sir? can you do a video of how to clean the dust that accumulated in the Built-In fan of Redmagic 8S Pro without opening the back glass? is it possible sir? thank you sir!
os it worth it to buy the 8s pro instead of the 8pro? they kinda identical aside from the processor
Hey! Why Vanilla Ice? I thought that Ice MC was actually from the Uk.
Nice one sir 🇵🇭
Love it but wish it was smaller and thinner.
Can you showcase the bumblebee version and Optimus prime version. Where can we buy this for the UK
No front firing speakers?
beautiful phone❤❤❤❤❤
Good for gamers? This thing would be a godsend for people living in hot places cause that fan would absolutely keep it cool in the blistering afternoon heat.
I mean for the price its at, this is a great flagship even for a regular person who doesn't game. I mean its got a massive battery, performance for days, the best cooling, etc. All that combined with a design thats REALLY gonna turn heads everywhere you go since its uninterrupted display will catch eyes.
Can I use this as a normal day to day phone as well?
Hey @techspurt ... Will it be able to do UPI transaction... Like scan and pay ... Is that supported in it by google
Can we have a review about red magic tablet?and thank you
What does that gravity x app do ?
Lovely review… are you mixed with Jamaican!?? Salute👊🏼
This phone looks soooooo good :D
Hands on you said 👀
sucks that the base and platinum version doesn't come with a side window feature
can u pls also include genshin impact loading game time in review pls on some budget and top phones it does take quite a time after an update so i will be grateful to know the loading time as to not havt to wait 2 mins for loading the game
Go for iphone 12 to 14 if u want fast loading its faster.than android
BRO I SO gotta get this phone
Imagine having the backbone controller with this aswell
What a beautiful phone
any chance of a wildlife extreme stress test to show the stability?
very cool phone!
Does it have screen protector?
