WEBVTT 00:00:00.110 --> 00:00:03.520 - Gaming PCs? (blows raspberry) No, thank you. 00:00:03.520 --> 00:00:07.640 I'll take the latest and greatest gaming phone, if you please. 00:00:07.640 --> 00:00:11.520 Which today is the Redmi RedMagic 6. 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. 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 00:00:20.180 --> 00:00:23.420 take one for a spin myself, take a look at it. 00:00:23.420 --> 00:00:27.569 There's two boxes here that seem identical. 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. 00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:40.010 Which one is which? I think they might be physically identical, 00:00:40.010 --> 00:00:44.340 other than the storage and RAM that's inside. 00:00:44.340 --> 00:00:47.450 So for the most part, I shouldn't have to look at both of them. 00:00:47.450 --> 00:00:52.670 I'm just gonna look at one, okay guys? Whoa! Look at that. 00:00:52.670 --> 00:00:56.634 That's fancy. That's all metal, smooth. 00:00:56.634 --> 00:01:00.960 This looks like a super car. This looks like one of Tony Stark's gadgets 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. 00:01:05.585 --> 00:01:10.473 It's even got two dramatic modes. It's like, "Flashy! Dramatic." 00:01:10.473 --> 00:01:14.639 (imitates angelic singing) (imitates metal music) 00:01:14.639 --> 00:01:18.460 (imitates angelic singing) We got speaker grills? They must be. 00:01:18.460 --> 00:01:22.600 Or, you know what, they're not speaker girls probably, they're probably cooling vents. 00:01:22.600 --> 00:01:26.005 Because one thing that I do know about this phone 00:01:26.005 --> 00:01:31.860 is that it has seven different ways of cooling the processor, which seems a little crazy. 00:01:31.860 --> 00:01:37.050 At least two of those are in an eternal turbo fan and a VC liquid cooling. 00:01:37.050 --> 00:01:40.240 Oh, vapor chamber. But then there's a bunch of other ways as well 00:01:40.240 --> 00:01:44.940 that we're gonna take a look at. Headphone jack! Volume rocker, maybe, on this side 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 00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:53.670 on the phone on I guess. Power button, ah, and gaming triggers. 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. 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. 00:02:01.466 --> 00:02:06.010 You need. (imitates lasers) USB-C for charging on the bottom 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. 00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:14.540 Ooh, they give you a protector for it. 00:02:14.540 --> 00:02:21.210 Documentation, game time, anytime. A red USB-C, two C cable, 00:02:21.210 --> 00:02:25.050 which I'm guessing works with what is probably in this box, 00:02:25.050 --> 00:02:28.344 which is the power adapter, USB-C power adapter. 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, 00:02:34.190 --> 00:02:38.070 that I know that the difference between the RedMagic 6 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 00:02:46.234 --> 00:02:49.671 and the other one has 16 gigabytes 00:02:49.671 --> 00:02:55.975 and 256 gigabytes of storage. I think they are largely identical other than the fact 00:02:55.975 --> 00:02:59.891 that there's a different color scheme. There's other boxes! 00:02:59.891 --> 00:03:03.970 RedMagic Dual Core Cooler. Oh my goodness. 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 00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:14.020 to just scroll Twitter and that's it? These boys, these bad boys get hot 00:03:14.020 --> 00:03:18.470 when they're trying to give you all the frames that you need in PUBG mobile. 00:03:18.470 --> 00:03:22.450 And even despite the fact that there's, it's got seven different forms of cooling, 00:03:22.450 --> 00:03:26.060 I guess you can also get one of these and slap it on there. 00:03:26.060 --> 00:03:31.080 Powered by USB-C, okay. So you can power it from the phone? 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, 00:03:36.090 --> 00:03:40.310 I need this match." The ear buds, okay, this I actually do wanna 00:03:40.310 --> 00:03:43.563 take a quick peek at because what is this, that box looks crazy. 00:03:44.710 --> 00:03:48.393 Whoa. Whoa. 00:03:49.906 --> 00:03:54.230 (laughs) That's angular. This is like if a dragon made. 00:03:54.230 --> 00:03:58.824 Well, it's even got little horns. It's got like little devil horns. 00:03:58.824 --> 00:04:02.237 (laughs) What are the lights? 00:04:02.237 --> 00:04:05.070 (imitates lasers) 00:04:07.200 --> 00:04:12.200 In a world where an evil authoritarian regime 00:04:12.200 --> 00:04:16.960 keeps gamers down, only one pair of ear buds 00:04:16.960 --> 00:04:20.930 can give them the RGB power. Now time to turn the phone on. 00:04:20.930 --> 00:04:25.880 But before I do that, this video is sponsored by Vessi Footwear. 00:04:25.880 --> 00:04:29.210 Thanks for sponsoring this video, guys. I love you. 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. 00:04:33.450 --> 00:04:36.780 It's lived in. Vessi Footwear is known for being lightweight, comfortable, 00:04:36.780 --> 00:04:40.560 and most importantly, waterproof.

Okay, so as usual, gaming phones 00:04:57.230 --> 00:05:01.440 usually have 1080p screens, full HD, which is the case with this one. 00:05:01.440 --> 00:05:05.350 I believe it has a 165hz refresh rate, 00:05:05.350 --> 00:05:08.406 which I can already see doing that, whoa! 00:05:08.406 --> 00:05:11.450 A 6.8 inch screen, I guess on both. 00:05:11.450 --> 00:05:15.070 As I was saying, the Pro and the non-Pro version 00:05:15.070 --> 00:05:18.900 are largely identical other than the RAM and the storage inside. 00:05:18.900 --> 00:05:22.950 It's an AMOLED screen and, as I said, there's 165hz refresh rate. 00:05:22.950 --> 00:05:26.815 But there's a 360hz? Is that right? 00:05:26.815 --> 00:05:31.815 Yes, it is. 360 Hertz multi-sampling touch refresh rate. 00:05:32.630 --> 00:05:37.570 So I guess that helps with games. This is my number one least favorite thing 00:05:37.570 --> 00:05:41.550 that some Android manufacturers do. They try to make the Android more like the iPhone 00:05:41.550 --> 00:05:44.960 and don't give it an app drawer. So all your apps just have to be 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. 00:05:50.700 --> 00:05:53.970 They have multiple models of external coolers 00:05:53.970 --> 00:05:55.670 that you can slap onto this thing. 00:05:57.038 --> 00:06:00.640 I don't know, I'll check it out on your face. (camera shutter clicks) 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. 00:06:06.060 --> 00:06:11.170 There was also a watermark for our convenience. (both laugh) 00:06:11.170 --> 00:06:16.210 We got 64 megapixel main camera, an eight megapixel ultra wide camera, 00:06:16.210 --> 00:06:21.309 and a two megapixel bokeh camera. So I guess the camera will be pretty good 00:06:21.309 --> 00:06:24.700 with all of those lenses after all. The main thing that I'm interested in 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 00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:32.880 come into play. I've already said the internal turbo fan, 00:06:32.880 --> 00:06:36.030 the vapor chamber liquid cooling, 00:06:36.030 --> 00:06:43.210 but there's also a graphite sheet, a thermal gel, copper foil, air ducts, 00:06:43.210 --> 00:06:48.990 which I think I identified earlier, aviation grade aluminum heat sink somewhere in there, 00:06:48.990 --> 00:06:52.440 aircraft aluminum rear housing. Okay, so that's what I was talking about. 00:06:52.440 --> 00:06:57.090 This is aircraft-grade aluminum, dude. And then you got the Dual Core Ice Dock. 00:06:57.090 --> 00:07:00.683 Okay, so I guess this thing counts as one of the seven. But that's okay. 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? 00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:10.614 But I need to, I need to map the triggers. The phone actually has a manual. 00:07:10.614 --> 00:07:14.320 What the heck? Why doesn't it talk about the triggers? This is so weird. 00:07:14.320 --> 00:07:19.575 I expected to see more software on the actual phone pertaining to gaming. 00:07:19.575 --> 00:07:25.240 Well, there doesn't appear to be any way to get the triggers working. 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 00:07:30.650 --> 00:07:33.533 you can get the triggers working, which would, oh, a bad guy! 00:07:34.390 --> 00:07:39.300 Oh, you're fricking dead. I'm so good at shooting on a phone. 00:07:39.300 --> 00:07:42.440 Headshot, bro. - [John] (laughs) That's so easy, though. 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. 00:07:46.981 --> 00:07:51.329 Okay, this is intelligent regulation. 00:07:51.329 --> 00:07:56.940 (fan whirs) We're gonna go to the high power mode. 00:07:56.940 --> 00:08:00.649 Fast cooling. (fan whirs) 00:08:01.620 --> 00:08:05.770 Ooh. Now, will I get more frames with this? 00:08:05.770 --> 00:08:10.953 That's what I wanna know. Well, oh, is it getting a bit warm? 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. 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 00:08:18.960 --> 00:08:24.550 and not dying. Well, safe to say this is a gaming phone, John. 00:08:24.550 --> 00:08:28.700 I don't know if you know. You know, I'm disappointed by the fact 00:08:28.700 --> 00:08:31.810 that I can't, I couldn't figure out how to map the triggers 00:08:31.810 --> 00:08:36.540 onto the buttons because I know that that is something you can do for sure. 00:08:36.540 --> 00:08:39.910 I just, I mean, that's something that I'm gonna say 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. 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. 00:08:53.215 --> 00:08:56.800 The vanilla, which is not it's called, but that's what I'm calling it, 00:08:56.800 --> 00:09:01.800 is 599 us and the RedMagic 6 Pro is 699 US. 00:09:03.400 --> 00:09:06.940 Anyways, that's it. Thanks for watching, guys. 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. 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? 00:09:15.582 --> 00:09:20.122 TechLink. There's a lot of critics on this channel as well. 00:09:20.122 --> 00:09:21.372 Not as good tech reviews.
