1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:05,720
it feels like just a few short months ago I was unboxing a red magic phone but

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:10,280
that's okay because they sponsored this ShortCircuit to show you their red

3
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:14,080
magic 10 Pro and even though it's been only a couple months they have updated

4
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:18,400
quite a few features with this gaming phone here first of all oh look at this

5
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:22,400
colorway this is really pretty what's this one called again it's called The

6
00:00:20,199 --> 00:00:25,160
Moonlight they actually sent us over a couple more we'll take a look at in a

7
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:29,960
second but let's see what else is in the Box here we've got our wallwart

8
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:33,480
apparently can go up to 100 Watts now Char to the 80 WTS before but let's pull

9
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:37,960
out the cable as well let's take a look ooh nice red cable how long is this

10
00:00:35,719 --> 00:00:41,160
again 3 ft 3 and 1/2 ft it's more than enough for charging your phone is there

11
00:00:39,239 --> 00:00:46,440
any other propaganda in here nope that's the end of this box what's in this

12
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:48,680
envelope win more games which I guess is

13
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:54,120
perfect for a gaming phone oh our Sim removal tool there our warranty

14
00:00:52,039 --> 00:00:58,359
card oh and just like last time they added a little plastic case here oh it's

15
00:00:56,559 --> 00:01:03,160
kind of like a frosted glass this time instead of before where it was completely see through it's funny I feel

16
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:08,000
like with most modern cases now they actually bring it up so it's flush with

17
00:01:04,839 --> 00:01:11,720
the camera but just like the last Red

18
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:13,280
magic phones no camera bump at all I'm

19
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:17,080
personally biased to this feature because I hate large camera bumps if

20
00:01:15,439 --> 00:01:20,799
you're going to make a massively thick or a folding phone already whatever it

21
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:24,040
may be why are you sticking out an extra couple millimeters give me that depth

22
00:01:22,320 --> 00:01:28,360
and give me more battery cuz now it actually lays down flat or if I'm gaming

23
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:32,840
because it's a gaming phone my fingers don't interfere with it

24
00:01:30,479 --> 00:01:37,399
oh my goodness my fingers are definitely holds fingerprints let's

25
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:41,079
look at the whole phone here again we got the capacitive Triggers on the side

26
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:46,000
for if you're doing some sort of shooter or a driving game you've got your volume

27
00:01:43,439 --> 00:01:49,479
buttons here this is the exhaust for the fan that spins on the back it actually

28
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:53,759
spins a little bit faster this generation by I think about 1,000 RPM

29
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:57,920
and it sucks air in the bottom exhausts it out the top you've got your I'm

30
00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:02,640
assuming that's our power button yep that is our power button it's booting up here and and then this is our game

31
00:02:01,039 --> 00:02:07,240
slider button that can bring us into that game mode or back to kind of a more

32
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:11,360
typical phone interface USB type c on the bottom our SIM tray there as well

33
00:02:09,679 --> 00:02:15,319
and on the other side there's just that intake there's actually no other buttons

34
00:02:12,959 --> 00:02:20,599
on this side here on the top oh look at that baby 3.5 mm Jack you love to see it

35
00:02:18,879 --> 00:02:24,640
overall the Finish feels really nice around the edges here let's boot this up

36
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:30,120
let's take a look here wow that is a very bright what

37
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:34,239
brightness am I at okay I'm about 60 % brightness that's why it felt very very

38
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:39,319
bright oh look at that apparently they claimed 2,000 nits

39
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:44,440
Peak brightness and in our Labs results we hit that so outdoor use in this phone

40
00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:46,480
is going to be more than manageable I guess while we're talking about the

41
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:52,040
brightness of the screen we might as well talk about the screen itself it's a

42
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:55,440
custom 1.5k resolution screen that is

43
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:57,560
6.85 in and as you can see by the size

44
00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:05,720
of the bezels here they have reached an impressive 95.3 3% screen to body ratio

45
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:07,599
dude it is quite daunting how small

46
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:10,360
those bezels are and I can't even see I know I'm going slightly off topic here

47
00:03:08,799 --> 00:03:13,799
the unders screen camera there is one right wow this is a really pretty screen

48
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:18,239
though I'll look for that camera under the screen in a bit but even further

49
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:22,959
under the screen I guess is a 7,050 milliamp hour battery it's

50
00:03:20,599 --> 00:03:28,239
actually a dual battery and in our testing with a 45 W charger we were able

51
00:03:25,599 --> 00:03:33,360
to get it fully charged in under an hour and in our longevity test it lasted 19

52
00:03:31,239 --> 00:03:36,959
hours how that will translate into gaming time I'm not quite sure but that

53
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:41,599
is still an impressive length for any amount of phone charge and that quick

54
00:03:38,799 --> 00:03:44,879
charging is really really crazy time you could plug it in go take a shower and by

55
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:49,640
the time you come out you know you've got probably like 20 30 40 extra perc on

56
00:03:47,319 --> 00:03:54,159
your phone actually speaking of red mat you know what I'm noticing you missed

57
00:03:51,319 --> 00:03:59,400
did I miss this you didn't include me this had Mora on it last time red

58
00:03:56,959 --> 00:04:02,200
magic are you getting rid of my wife please

59
00:04:00,799 --> 00:04:08,879
wait no let's go into the game slider mode maybe my wife is there please Mora

60
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,560
let's go I have to confirm my age oh wow

61
00:04:08,879 --> 00:04:15,120
you can actually change if you're a student or a Company employee or private

62
00:04:13,159 --> 00:04:21,199
can I keep this phone can I set it to private home screen interactive yes

63
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:25,560
please enable morare

64
00:04:21,199 --> 00:04:25,560
yes it tickles it

65
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:33,400
tickles okay well because I marked this phone as private I clearly can't game on

66
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:36,600
it anymore let's grab a different one of the phones and check out the colorways

67
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:41,160
these are the two other ones that red magic sent us this is called the Shadow

68
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:44,800
and the dusk I personally really like the Shadow on this look kind of like the

69
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:49,840
little gloss it has on the on the back there that's really nice but this one is

70
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:56,919
actually starting at the 12 GB model with 256 GB of storage this one is 16

71
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:58,560
gigs of RAM at 512 GB of storage they

72
00:04:56,919 --> 00:05:03,919
actually also have a special edition one which goes all the way up to 24 gigs of

73
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:05,560
RAM and 1 tbte of storage who needs

74
00:05:03,919 --> 00:05:09,600
Google drive when you can actually just store everything on your phone but for

75
00:05:08,199 --> 00:05:15,680
our gaming performance I kind of want to play on this one so we'll put this one to the side here and we'll fire this one

76
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:19,560
up and it's actually able to get those Max specs of the RAM and storage thanks

77
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:25,160
to the new Snapdragon 8 Elite chip that's in here which red magic is

78
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:26,720
claiming 45% power boost and 44% more

79
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:31,720
battery efficient than compared to previous gens and it actually has a new

80
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:34,199
GPU as well the adreno 830 instead of

81
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:37,280
the 750 compared to the 9 Pro that we looked at before let's see if we can

82
00:05:35,840 --> 00:05:42,440
actually push the GPU to the max cuz this screen is also 144

83
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:46,720
Hertz and we're in game I think what's also impressive is that I am recording

84
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:52,440
at the same time and I'm not noticing any weird oh oh

85
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:56,680
God yes I'm not noticing any weird hitches in the game play which is pretty

86
00:05:54,240 --> 00:06:01,919
sweet oh what was that oh that was the fan has a dedicated just turn the fan on

87
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:05,800
button oh yeah it's definitely moving air out of there which is pretty good

88
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:09,360
it's actually using liquid metal as well to help cool it using the icex cooling

89
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:13,039
system it's kind of a nice Cool Breeze when it's not actually loading any games

90
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:16,680
and doing any rendering it's colder than the ambient air that I'm feeling curious

91
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:20,240
if you can hear it on the mic yeah it's not that bad though pretty faint right

92
00:06:18,919 --> 00:06:25,080
like you're holding it really close yeah maybe we can crank it though oh there we

93
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:29,720
go now it's cranked it's about the same distance I

94
00:06:26,840 --> 00:06:33,080
was much louder overall that's not bad though if you had audio playing or

95
00:06:30,919 --> 00:06:37,960
headphones in you probably wouldn't even hear that at all I guess speaking of

96
00:06:34,919 --> 00:06:40,880
audio let's take a quick listen on

97
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:44,840
YouTube it's good speakers it's 50% you wouldn't be disappointed with them let's

98
00:06:42,319 --> 00:06:44,840
crank it

99
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:52,360
though I hear the slightest bit of

100
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:57,240
crackling at the highest but I remember this with the 9s Pro if you turn it down

101
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:59,800
like two notches

102
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:07,039
yeah it's gone so I guess if you really need it at the max you can but if you

103
00:07:04,599 --> 00:07:10,720
want like good clean audio experience I feel like just a little bit less than

104
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:14,960
Max is fine but you might not need that either you have a 3.5 mm Jack so you

105
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:18,680
know that's a win as well this is our HDR test footage that we filmed on the

106
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:23,160
re cameras we did a whole ShortCircuit on that as well just to see the AMOLED

107
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:29,000
and how the screen handles it it's pretty it it it's better than my TV at

108
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:31,319
home because I have Colton's 75 in TCL

109
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:35,120
4K garbage I'm not really a movie experienced person on my phone anyways

110
00:07:33,479 --> 00:07:39,560
but if I had to watch a movie or or something on a plane this is this is

111
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:43,800
great and that oh man again I just noticed again the bezels being so thin

112
00:07:41,759 --> 00:07:48,720
there it feels like the screen is that much bigger I mean it is it's whatever

113
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:50,400
it was 6.85 right so the downside of I

114
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:54,400
guess having this much screen though is you do have to put the camera under one

115
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:58,080
thing again I've noticed very difficult to see it when something is on the

116
00:07:56,120 --> 00:08:03,199
screen but we'll see how that actually affects the quality of the camera camera

117
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:06,919
but first let me take a selfie

118
00:08:03,199 --> 00:08:08,639
jez it's a selfie camera I don't know I

119
00:08:06,919 --> 00:08:13,520
don't do many video calls I don't take many selfies anyways so for me this is

120
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:17,919
more than enough of a camera but I would not buy this phone if you're wanting to

121
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:21,560
take photos kind of thing if that's like your primary reason for picking up a

122
00:08:19,759 --> 00:08:27,000
phone this probably might not be the the selling feature for you but let's try

123
00:08:24,199 --> 00:08:32,440
the the rear camera let's take a photo of the boys over there

124
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:35,839
you go well those rear cameras are definitely better than the selfie camera

125
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:40,560
the rears are 50 megapixel cameras and a 2 megapixel macro and then the selfie

126
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:44,320
camera was a 16 megapixel which is the same as the 9 Pro but again they made

127
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:48,880
the upgrades to the gaming performance not necessarily the cameras for software

128
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:53,959
we obviously get Mora as we saw already we're on red Magic's OS version 10 and

129
00:08:51,399 --> 00:08:58,880
we're on Android version 15 now they have promised at least one Android

130
00:08:55,800 --> 00:09:00,680
version update so Android 16 hopefully

131
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:04,839
but you know that seems to be the most common complaint with the red magic

132
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:09,560
phones is they don't get several updates but we have Google Gemini to save the

133
00:09:07,680 --> 00:09:14,480
day Google Gemini as some of you know allows you to do image editing photo

134
00:09:11,560 --> 00:09:19,040
searching real-time translations as well and a chat let's try chatting with it

135
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:23,279
I'm here whenever you're ready can you try to act more like Mora from red magic

136
00:09:21,959 --> 00:09:28,480
how about we start with a simple question what's on your mind today I

137
00:09:25,959 --> 00:09:32,399
really like the red magic phone okay I hear you the red magic phones are

138
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:36,160
definitely cool known for being really fast and great for gaming you don't

139
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:40,839
sound like Mora please talk more like Mora from red

140
00:09:38,399 --> 00:09:44,959
magic okay I'm getting the hang of this so what do you like best about Mora is

141
00:09:42,680 --> 00:09:50,680
it her personality the way she helps you out or something

142
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:54,480
else all right let's change the subject what's something cool you've learned or

143
00:09:52,000 --> 00:10:00,040
done recently I'm done I'm uncomfortable now she

144
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:01,240
sto she shocked me bro

145
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:06,079
so after we've taken a look at all the features what do you guys think for $650

146
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:09,640
at the starting price for a gaming phone I think that's pretty good $800 you're

147
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:13,440
starting to get into that expensive territory and then that special edition

148
00:10:11,560 --> 00:10:17,120
one we talked about with that 1 tab of storage that is

149
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:20,360
$1,000 you got to really love gaming in order to spend that much on a dedicated

150
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:23,800
phone but then again people spend way more on their computers or sometimes

151
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:26,560
multiple consoles so you guys can let us know in the comments down below but

152
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:31,519
thanks again red magic for sponsoring this episode if you guys enjoyed this one go check out the last one I did or

153
00:10:29,839 --> 00:10:36,880
even the one before that with lonus unboxing the 9 Pro so that way you can

154
00:10:34,079 --> 00:10:36,880
see what the differences

155
00:10:37,279 --> 00:10:41,399
were taking this one
