Your video helped spur me on to buying this gaming beast, can't wait to play around with it! I've been rocking the Samsung S8 for around 5 years now and it's been a great phone to use (still is) but I've fancied an upgrade for a while now and for me, this is the major upgrade I've been looking for. Great video as always, keep up the amazing work! :D
@@bluememe4652 Yo! So, I've personally never cared too much about camera quality but the quality is pretty decent with this phone. I previously used a samsung s8 and the camera quality on that phone was enough for me so coming from that phone to this one is an upgrade but I bought this phone for the flagship gaming performance. If you love taking pictures and videos, I'd skip this phone because it's not really made for those two in mind. Don't get me wrong they are both descent on this phone but again, this is a top tier gaming phone first. It depends what you're looking for really. The Red Magic 7 Pro is out now so you could get that phone, it's pretty much top of the line, even compared to the new samsung and iphone flagships BUT If you want amazing camera quality, you'll want an iphone or samsung phone for sure (You could also game on those). So yeah, personally I don't really care about camera quality, just having a flagship phone with top tier gaming performance is what I'm super happy with. Hope this helped!
When it comes to gaming, even the smallest improvements make a big difference. Even a slightly higher frame rate or the such can help you to see the enemy faster than they can, unless they happen to have the same specs as you😂
Nope... When you play at the top and most competitive eschelon of gamers, only then can small differences make a big difference... Doubt that 50-60 fps vs 60-61 fps would make any difference amongst us normies.
The Red Magic phones would be great if they weren't literally obsolete by the time the next phone comes out. Every time I see a post on the red magic Instagram page, it's always about the lack of OS upgrades and customer support. I also know people often complain about some of the text not translating right now in some of the menus. But if that all was squashed they'd be pretty compelling I'd say.
This is what I worry about if I were to switch to this. There's no way I'm going to change phones yearly just to have the latest Android version...and that's important to me. And the development community on xda is tiny (or non existent).
@@dubswagen all androids are like that. The typical android is only supported for two additional versions at max. Iphones on the other hand are supported longer because they are optimized better.
I selected high refresh rate, with headphone jack and no punchhole in GSMArena's phone finder and this thing popped up. Wow, I'm impressed. And only for 630€. I'm not much of a gamer so the battery drain won't be an issue for me. I'll consider buying this beauty ✌🏻
Great unboxing video...very detailed! I remember back in the day however unboxing stuff used to be fun...it was like opening a Christmas gift. Is it just me or are companies getting either lazy or uncreative in their presentation? Great video though :)
I have been trying to decide whether to get this or the Legion y90 and finally ordered the 18gig ram Red Magic 7. The price point was better for the same if not better specs.
you may wanna look for the Chinese version of the device or maybe another brand like Black Shark if you value super fast charging. Red Magic does shrink it for the global version as you can see in their predecessors
I bought an owned the 6. I highly advise against purchasing RedMagic devices. You are paying only for hardware specs, their software is absolutely riddled with bugs, and a lack of updates. Just search online for their OS and dive in yourself.
hope they add screws so we can open the back part of the phone and clean the fans.. the dust and other debris will be stuck and it will cause problems..
One year later and looking at buying this one. Coming from a Realme X2 Pro currently, which us struggling to play the newest game I like smoothly. Been playing Genshin on this phone for over two years daily, but recently quit and switched to Lost Light, but after the latest wipe/update my Realme is stuttering too much to play it competitively.
I'm currently on the RedMagic 5g got it when it was released. It's pretty good but after having it for nearly 2y I am probably going to go to either iPhone or Samsung. I've played mobile games back then but now I graduated and I'm working so I might give this phone to my Lil brother who will probably like it if not then I'll have 2 phones.
Here is the exact reason why the battery is smaller this year: "..REDMAGIC 7 also supports REDMAGIC’s Charge Separation to *bypass the battery* to power the phone, helping the battery stay cool and extending it’s lifespan." So you can plug a fastcharging 30000mAh powerbank and you can game the whole day without affecting the internal battery. Plus, powerbanks are relatively cheap now 🙂
All phones should have that. People use old Android phones as always plugged in displays, cameras, wifi hotspots etc. Only problem is the batteries wearing over time.
I don't think it's the reason. My Red Magic 6S Pro has this feature since Day 1 and it has 5000mAh battery. However, China variant has only 4500mAh. Perhaps they based the design from the chinese model. It's a very useful feature btw.
Just a thought. Shoulder triggers kinda useless. If you are really into games then you probably considering joining in the pro scenes such as tournaments. These gimmicks in a phone is prohibited in tournaments and its useless if you are used to play with it. Companies should rather focus on graphics, performance and battery
I just going to buy one online and I found the one they call it ( ZTE nubia RedMagic 7 ) is there any difference between the normal red magic I’m confuse !?
For me the battery capacity and crap camera software is disappointing, because it is important I have these things, I rely on these features. There's a lot of bang for your buck with this handset and the boxes it ticks over what else is out there outshines the competition. Right now the ASUS 5 pro is the only alternative and I still wouldn't choose that over the Red Magic 7 Pro. But i'm hoping ASUS has something special in mind in the run up to August.
I still don’t get who buys these, I mean they’re cool, but isn’t it just more worth it to get a proper phone without comprises and than a console or pc if your that into gaming??
The 8 Gen 1 has been really Impressive , But as Proud Owner of ROG Phone 3 , Really Looking Forward to Upgrade to ROG phone 6 and their Custom 8 Gen 1+ variant
ROG Phones are the undisputed champions of gaming phones but this one at a much lower base price is a good option for those who can’t afford to spend $999+
yeah except rog almost doesn't update the software and firmware and always have so much bugs that hasn't been addressed till now. im using Rog Phone 5 and regret buying it for a high price. im so excited for my redmagic 7 tho
Even last year's phone is impressive for running that FPS. Very cool phones for the price if you are a mobile gamer. Willing to bet the competitor phone in the comparison was a Samsung because they are struggling with heat dissipation with the new chip.
i have an s22 ultra and if you put thermal paste under the cpu it brings thermals down immensily and you can play games for hours without it getting hott
That is really cool! Without you I would have no idea this stuff exist. I continue cruising with my S21 Galaxy. My gaming is limited to SPACE ENGINE that requires Windows 7 and struggles no my 8 year old ZOTAC ZOTAC ZBOX. If you can point out competitive Android Games to SPACE ENGINE I would be very interested.
Not normally a fan of other phone maker's...apart from Samsung.......but very very tempted to buy this phone In a few mths.....its gonna be hard this phone or the S22 ultra
I wonder how performance would fair if you put Air Duster in the cooling chamber while playing games like Tacticool on the Red Magic 7🤔💭💡 Sounds cool but risky MAYBE🤑😬🤷🏿
no, redmagic 7 has its own tempered glass to buy but there is a pre installed one already when you buy it. 66W charging , all redmagic use the same 66W charger bases. so no worries about it
It really is such a shame, this company makes super premium feeling hardware but they don't give it any software support beyond about 6 months. I purchased the red magic 6 last year and I love it, but you can pretty much guarantee that now that they've released two other phones it won't see a lick of software support. I am still running on the October security patch and now we are in February of 2022
What is the actual response time for the screen ?? Rog 5 is 1 ms screen response time red magic never puts it idc about 165 hz if the screen isnt 1ms lol can someone please help with that ?
if that throttling difference compared to flagship brands doesn't make the average phone user wake up i don't know what would. do they need the phone to be connected to thair heads to understand that any throttling phone makes no sense with that chipset?

Well. I never knew learning Chinese would come in handy until now.
I would definetly buy it if was made by a trustworthy brand instead of Nubia that is consistent on updating the software and fixing bugs and lags

Hi Tom! What's Up? I have been watching you for so long and I'm glad that you've come so far! Keep up the Good Work Bud.
Does that Red magick 7 and 8 pro have liquid cooling besides the fan? So the long term heavy gaming doesn’t over heat the phone?
I’m definitely grabbing 1 cause my iPhone 11 just ain’t cut out for the job anymore
Hi …. What do you think about the lenovo y90 we need the review of the lenovo as well
I have it
I have been trying to decide whether to get this or the Legion y90 and finally ordered the 18gig ram Red Magic 7. The price point was better for the same if not better specs.
Price to performance not only for gaming I went with black shark 4 pro. Had the red magic 6 and love my 4 pro by far.
This is the only phone taking advantage of snapdragon 8 gen 1 its almost feels unreal
no, legion y90 still better.
@@Airihav Redmagic always has the better cooling, and cheaper than Lenuvo
@@Buffypoodle wtf , cooling system is much better on lenovo legion 2 than red magic 7, and on legion y90 its much better than legion 2.
Nice! Thinking about switching to this from Oneplus...finally. You didn't mention the quick charging which could negate the need for a bigger battery.
I don't think quick charging is a good excuse for a weak battery performance since you won't have access to a power source all the time.
you may wanna look for the Chinese version of the device or maybe another brand like Black Shark if you value super fast charging. Red Magic does shrink it for the global version as you can see in their predecessors
Quick charging will never negate the need for a bigger battery.
You can directly play on the external power source without using the battery. I mean, bypass charging😎
I bought an owned the 6. I highly advise against purchasing RedMagic devices.
You are paying only for hardware specs, their software is absolutely riddled with bugs, and a lack of updates.

Witch software version you on bro ?
What sim provider company you have? My Red Magic can’t get signal more than 3G on AT&T
how much is it...how bad or good the battery drain is...i play genshin a lot also call of duity....& wating for aipex....
hope they add screws so we can open the back part of the phone and clean the fans.. the dust and other debris will be stuck and it will cause problems..

98% stability with snapdragon 8 gen1?
What's even more impressive is it's even more stable than iPhone lol
@@humanshieldz iPhones put smartphone cooling as an afterthought. It's a low bar to overcome.
