1 00:00:00,110 --> 00:00:03,520 - Gaming PCs? (blows raspberry) No, thank you. 2 00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:07,640 I'll take the latest and greatest gaming phone, if you please. 3 00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:11,520 Which today is the Redmi RedMagic 6. 4 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:16,370 That's what we're taking a look at today. I'm not super acquainted with gaming phones. 5 00:00:16,370 --> 00:00:20,180 I've heard a lot about gaming phones, but I've never actually gotten a chance to really 6 00:00:20,180 --> 00:00:23,420 take one for a spin myself, take a look at it. 7 00:00:23,420 --> 00:00:27,569 There's two boxes here that seem identical. 8 00:00:27,569 --> 00:00:35,280 (box clatters) What's that about? (exhales) There is a RedMagic 6 and then there's a RedMagic 6 Pro. 9 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:40,010 Which one is which? I think they might be physically identical, 10 00:00:40,010 --> 00:00:44,340 other than the storage and RAM that's inside. 11 00:00:44,340 --> 00:00:47,450 So for the most part, I shouldn't have to look at both of them. 12 00:00:47,450 --> 00:00:52,670 I'm just gonna look at one, okay guys? Whoa! Look at that. 13 00:00:52,670 --> 00:00:56,634 That's fancy. That's all metal, smooth. 14 00:00:56,634 --> 00:01:00,960 This looks like a super car. This looks like one of Tony Stark's gadgets 15 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:05,585 that he would pop out of his shoe or something and it would turn into a transforming drone. 16 00:01:05,585 --> 00:01:10,473 It's even got two dramatic modes. It's like, "Flashy! Dramatic." 17 00:01:10,473 --> 00:01:14,639 (imitates angelic singing) (imitates metal music) 18 00:01:14,639 --> 00:01:18,460 (imitates angelic singing) We got speaker grills? They must be. 19 00:01:18,460 --> 00:01:22,600 Or, you know what, they're not speaker girls probably, they're probably cooling vents. 20 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,005 Because one thing that I do know about this phone 21 00:01:26,005 --> 00:01:31,860 is that it has seven different ways of cooling the processor, which seems a little crazy. 22 00:01:31,860 --> 00:01:37,050 At least two of those are in an eternal turbo fan and a VC liquid cooling. 23 00:01:37,050 --> 00:01:40,240 Oh, vapor chamber. But then there's a bunch of other ways as well 24 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:44,940 that we're gonna take a look at. Headphone jack! Volume rocker, maybe, on this side 25 00:01:44,940 --> 00:01:49,200 and a lock some kind of button. I'll figure out what it does when I turn 26 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,670 on the phone on I guess. Power button, ah, and gaming triggers. 27 00:01:53,670 --> 00:01:57,493 That's something you want on a gaming phone. 'Cause you're gonna hold it like this. 28 00:01:57,493 --> 00:02:01,466 That's how you get the headshots. You can't get headshots like this. I've tried. 29 00:02:01,466 --> 00:02:06,010 You need. (imitates lasers) USB-C for charging on the bottom 30 00:02:06,010 --> 00:02:11,280 and I guess that that must be a speaker. Unless all the speakers are also cooling vents. 31 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,540 Ooh, they give you a protector for it. 32 00:02:14,540 --> 00:02:21,210 Documentation, game time, anytime. A red USB-C, two C cable, 33 00:02:21,210 --> 00:02:25,050 which I'm guessing works with what is probably in this box, 34 00:02:25,050 --> 00:02:28,344 which is the power adapter, USB-C power adapter. 35 00:02:28,344 --> 00:02:34,190 Nice. I think it's a 30 watt adapter. And let me just say, unequivocally, at this point, 36 00:02:34,190 --> 00:02:38,070 that I know that the difference between the RedMagic 6 37 00:02:38,070 --> 00:02:45,610 and the RedMagic 6 Pro is that one has 12 gigs of RAM and 128 gigabytes of storage 38 00:02:46,234 --> 00:02:49,671 and the other one has 16 gigabytes 39 00:02:49,671 --> 00:02:55,975 and 256 gigabytes of storage. I think they are largely identical other than the fact 40 00:02:55,975 --> 00:02:59,891 that there's a different color scheme. There's other boxes! 41 00:02:59,891 --> 00:03:03,970 RedMagic Dual Core Cooler. Oh my goodness. 42 00:03:03,970 --> 00:03:08,520 So that's the thing with gaming phones, they get really hot. You think normal phones get hot when you're trying 43 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:14,020 to just scroll Twitter and that's it? These boys, these bad boys get hot 44 00:03:14,020 --> 00:03:18,470 when they're trying to give you all the frames that you need in PUBG mobile. 45 00:03:18,470 --> 00:03:22,450 And even despite the fact that there's, it's got seven different forms of cooling, 46 00:03:22,450 --> 00:03:26,060 I guess you can also get one of these and slap it on there. 47 00:03:26,060 --> 00:03:31,080 Powered by USB-C, okay. So you can power it from the phone? 48 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:36,090 If you're just like, "I don't care if my phone lasts, you know, 30 minutes, 49 00:03:36,090 --> 00:03:40,310 I need this match." The ear buds, okay, this I actually do wanna 50 00:03:40,310 --> 00:03:43,563 take a quick peek at because what is this, that box looks crazy. 51 00:03:44,710 --> 00:03:48,393 Whoa. Whoa. 52 00:03:49,906 --> 00:03:54,230 (laughs) That's angular. This is like if a dragon made. 53 00:03:54,230 --> 00:03:58,824 Well, it's even got little horns. It's got like little devil horns. 54 00:03:58,824 --> 00:04:02,237 (laughs) What are the lights? 55 00:04:02,237 --> 00:04:05,070 (imitates lasers) 56 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:12,200 In a world where an evil authoritarian regime 57 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:16,960 keeps gamers down, only one pair of ear buds 58 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,930 can give them the RGB power. Now time to turn the phone on. 59 00:04:20,930 --> 00:04:25,880 But before I do that, this video is sponsored by Vessi Footwear. 60 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,210 Thanks for sponsoring this video, guys. I love you. 61 00:04:29,210 --> 00:04:33,450 As you can see, I wear their shoes all the time. It's dirty on the bottom because it's worn. 62 00:04:33,450 --> 00:04:36,780 It's lived in. Vessi Footwear is known for being lightweight, comfortable, 63 00:04:36,780 --> 00:04:40,560 and most importantly, waterproof.

Okay, so as usual, gaming phones 68 00:04:57,230 --> 00:05:01,440 usually have 1080p screens, full HD, which is the case with this one. 69 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:05,350 I believe it has a 165hz refresh rate, 70 00:05:05,350 --> 00:05:08,406 which I can already see doing that, whoa! 71 00:05:08,406 --> 00:05:11,450 A 6.8 inch screen, I guess on both. 72 00:05:11,450 --> 00:05:15,070 As I was saying, the Pro and the non-Pro version 73 00:05:15,070 --> 00:05:18,900 are largely identical other than the RAM and the storage inside. 74 00:05:18,900 --> 00:05:22,950 It's an AMOLED screen and, as I said, there's 165hz refresh rate. 75 00:05:22,950 --> 00:05:26,815 But there's a 360hz? Is that right? 76 00:05:26,815 --> 00:05:31,815 Yes, it is. 360 Hertz multi-sampling touch refresh rate. 77 00:05:32,630 --> 00:05:37,570 So I guess that helps with games. This is my number one least favorite thing 78 00:05:37,570 --> 00:05:41,550 that some Android manufacturers do. They try to make the Android more like the iPhone 79 00:05:41,550 --> 00:05:44,960 and don't give it an app drawer. So all your apps just have to be 80 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:50,700 on the home screen somewhere. But the thing is that even the iPhone has added an app drawer basically now, so. 81 00:05:50,700 --> 00:05:53,970 They have multiple models of external coolers 82 00:05:53,970 --> 00:05:55,670 that you can slap onto this thing. 83 00:05:57,038 --> 00:06:00,640 I don't know, I'll check it out on your face. (camera shutter clicks) 84 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:06,060 John-o, I don't know if this phone has beauty face, it almost certainly does, but you look beautiful to me. 85 00:06:06,060 --> 00:06:11,170 There was also a watermark for our convenience. (both laugh) 86 00:06:11,170 --> 00:06:16,210 We got 64 megapixel main camera, an eight megapixel ultra wide camera, 87 00:06:16,210 --> 00:06:21,309 and a two megapixel bokeh camera. So I guess the camera will be pretty good 88 00:06:21,309 --> 00:06:24,700 with all of those lenses after all. The main thing that I'm interested in 89 00:06:24,700 --> 00:06:29,800 is this thing's performance as a gaming machine and how much those seven different types of cooling 90 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,880 come into play. I've already said the internal turbo fan, 91 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,030 the vapor chamber liquid cooling, 92 00:06:36,030 --> 00:06:43,210 but there's also a graphite sheet, a thermal gel, copper foil, air ducts, 93 00:06:43,210 --> 00:06:48,990 which I think I identified earlier, aviation grade aluminum heat sink somewhere in there, 94 00:06:48,990 --> 00:06:52,440 aircraft aluminum rear housing. Okay, so that's what I was talking about. 95 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:57,090 This is aircraft-grade aluminum, dude. And then you got the Dual Core Ice Dock. 96 00:06:57,090 --> 00:07:00,683 Okay, so I guess this thing counts as one of the seven. But that's okay. 97 00:07:00,683 --> 00:07:06,240 There's six that comes with the phone already. I'm online with people, people, oh, select load out? 98 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:10,614 But I need to, I need to map the triggers. The phone actually has a manual. 99 00:07:10,614 --> 00:07:14,320 What the heck? Why doesn't it talk about the triggers? This is so weird. 100 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:19,575 I expected to see more software on the actual phone pertaining to gaming. 101 00:07:19,575 --> 00:07:25,240 Well, there doesn't appear to be any way to get the triggers working. 102 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:30,650 Yeah, I'm gonna give you the straight up as a gaming phone. 'Cause you know, I'm assuming that at some point 103 00:07:30,650 --> 00:07:33,533 you can get the triggers working, which would, oh, a bad guy! 104 00:07:34,390 --> 00:07:39,300 Oh, you're fricking dead. I'm so good at shooting on a phone. 105 00:07:39,300 --> 00:07:42,440 Headshot, bro. - [John] (laughs) That's so easy, though. 106 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:46,981 - I don't hear the fan going, so it must not be that demanding of a game. 107 00:07:46,981 --> 00:07:51,329 Okay, this is intelligent regulation. 108 00:07:51,329 --> 00:07:56,940 (fan whirs) We're gonna go to the high power mode. 109 00:07:56,940 --> 00:08:00,649 Fast cooling. (fan whirs) 110 00:08:01,620 --> 00:08:05,770 Ooh. Now, will I get more frames with this? 111 00:08:05,770 --> 00:08:10,953 That's what I wanna know. Well, oh, is it getting a bit warm? 112 00:08:10,953 --> 00:08:15,187 I can feel it getting a bit warm, even though the fan's going at full blast. 113 00:08:15,187 --> 00:08:18,960 But I did just turn it on. And now I'm standing in the middle of the battlefield 114 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:24,550 and not dying. Well, safe to say this is a gaming phone, John. 115 00:08:24,550 --> 00:08:28,700 I don't know if you know. You know, I'm disappointed by the fact 116 00:08:28,700 --> 00:08:31,810 that I can't, I couldn't figure out how to map the triggers 117 00:08:31,810 --> 00:08:36,540 onto the buttons because I know that that is something you can do for sure. 118 00:08:36,540 --> 00:08:39,910 I just, I mean, that's something that I'm gonna say 119 00:08:39,910 --> 00:08:44,570 as a point against the phone is the fact that that's hard to find because we couldn't find it. 120 00:08:44,570 --> 00:08:51,958 Where is it? Send us an email, Redmi. So we got the RedMagic 6 Pro and the RedMagic 6 vanilla. 121 00:08:53,215 --> 00:08:56,800 The vanilla, which is not it's called, but that's what I'm calling it, 122 00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:01,800 is 599 us and the RedMagic 6 Pro is 699 US. 123 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,940 Anyways, that's it. Thanks for watching, guys. 124 00:09:06,940 --> 00:09:12,090 Don't forget to subscribe to ShortCircuit for more videos that are probably better than this one. 125 00:09:12,090 --> 00:09:15,582 And you know what, hey, you know what, hey, you know some other channels that make really good videos? 126 00:09:15,582 --> 00:09:20,122 TechLink. There's a lot of critics on this channel as well. 127 00:09:20,122 --> 00:09:21,372 Not as good tech reviews.
