it feels like just a few short months ago I was unboxing a red magic phone but
that's okay because they sponsored this ShortCircuit to show you their red
magic 10 Pro and even though it's been only a couple months they have updated
quite a few features with this gaming phone here first of all oh look at this
colorway this is really pretty what's this one called again it's called The
Moonlight they actually sent us over a couple more we'll take a look at in a
second but let's see what else is in the Box here we've got our wallwart
apparently can go up to 100 Watts now Char to the 80 WTS before but let's pull
out the cable as well let's take a look ooh nice red cable how long is this
again 3 ft 3 and 1/2 ft it's more than enough for charging your phone is there
any other propaganda in here nope that's the end of this box what's in this
envelope win more games which I guess is
perfect for a gaming phone oh our Sim removal tool there our warranty
card oh and just like last time they added a little plastic case here oh it's
kind of like a frosted glass this time instead of before where it was completely see through it's funny I feel
like with most modern cases now they actually bring it up so it's flush with
the camera but just like the last Red
magic phones no camera bump at all I'm
personally biased to this feature because I hate large camera bumps if
you're going to make a massively thick or a folding phone already whatever it
may be why are you sticking out an extra couple millimeters give me that depth
and give me more battery cuz now it actually lays down flat or if I'm gaming
because it's a gaming phone my fingers don't interfere with it
oh my goodness my fingers are definitely holds fingerprints let's
look at the whole phone here again we got the capacitive Triggers on the side
for if you're doing some sort of shooter or a driving game you've got your volume
buttons here this is the exhaust for the fan that spins on the back it actually
spins a little bit faster this generation by I think about 1,000 RPM
and it sucks air in the bottom exhausts it out the top you've got your I'm
assuming that's our power button yep that is our power button it's booting up here and and then this is our game
slider button that can bring us into that game mode or back to kind of a more
typical phone interface USB type c on the bottom our SIM tray there as well
and on the other side there's just that intake there's actually no other buttons
on this side here on the top oh look at that baby 3.5 mm Jack you love to see it
overall the Finish feels really nice around the edges here let's boot this up
let's take a look here wow that is a very bright what
brightness am I at okay I'm about 60 % brightness that's why it felt very very
bright oh look at that apparently they claimed 2,000 nits
Peak brightness and in our Labs results we hit that so outdoor use in this phone
is going to be more than manageable I guess while we're talking about the
brightness of the screen we might as well talk about the screen itself it's a
custom 1.5k resolution screen that is
6.85 in and as you can see by the size
of the bezels here they have reached an impressive 95.3 3% screen to body ratio
dude it is quite daunting how small
those bezels are and I can't even see I know I'm going slightly off topic here
the unders screen camera there is one right wow this is a really pretty screen
though I'll look for that camera under the screen in a bit but even further
under the screen I guess is a 7,050 milliamp hour battery it's
actually a dual battery and in our testing with a 45 W charger we were able
to get it fully charged in under an hour and in our longevity test it lasted 19
hours how that will translate into gaming time I'm not quite sure but that
is still an impressive length for any amount of phone charge and that quick
charging is really really crazy time you could plug it in go take a shower and by
the time you come out you know you've got probably like 20 30 40 extra perc on
your phone actually speaking of red mat you know what I'm noticing you missed
did I miss this you didn't include me this had Mora on it last time red
magic are you getting rid of my wife please
wait no let's go into the game slider mode maybe my wife is there please Mora
let's go I have to confirm my age oh wow
you can actually change if you're a student or a Company employee or private
can I keep this phone can I set it to private home screen interactive yes
please enable morare
yes it tickles it
tickles okay well because I marked this phone as private I clearly can't game on
it anymore let's grab a different one of the phones and check out the colorways
these are the two other ones that red magic sent us this is called the Shadow
and the dusk I personally really like the Shadow on this look kind of like the
little gloss it has on the on the back there that's really nice but this one is
actually starting at the 12 GB model with 256 GB of storage this one is 16
gigs of RAM at 512 GB of storage they
actually also have a special edition one which goes all the way up to 24 gigs of
RAM and 1 tbte of storage who needs
Google drive when you can actually just store everything on your phone but for
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
up and it's actually able to get those Max specs of the RAM and storage thanks
to the new Snapdragon 8 Elite chip that's in here which red magic is
claiming 45% power boost and 44% more
battery efficient than compared to previous gens and it actually has a new
GPU as well the adreno 830 instead of
the 750 compared to the 9 Pro that we looked at before let's see if we can
actually push the GPU to the max cuz this screen is also 144
Hertz and we're in game I think what's also impressive is that I am recording
at the same time and I'm not noticing any weird oh oh
God yes I'm not noticing any weird hitches in the game play which is pretty
sweet oh what was that oh that was the fan has a dedicated just turn the fan on
button oh yeah it's definitely moving air out of there which is pretty good
it's actually using liquid metal as well to help cool it using the icex cooling
system it's kind of a nice Cool Breeze when it's not actually loading any games
and doing any rendering it's colder than the ambient air that I'm feeling curious
if you can hear it on the mic yeah it's not that bad though pretty faint right
like you're holding it really close yeah maybe we can crank it though oh there we
go now it's cranked it's about the same distance I
was much louder overall that's not bad though if you had audio playing or
headphones in you probably wouldn't even hear that at all I guess speaking of
audio let's take a quick listen on
YouTube it's good speakers it's 50% you wouldn't be disappointed with them let's
crank it
though I hear the slightest bit of
crackling at the highest but I remember this with the 9s Pro if you turn it down
like two notches
yeah it's gone so I guess if you really need it at the max you can but if you
want like good clean audio experience I feel like just a little bit less than
Max is fine but you might not need that either you have a 3.5 mm Jack so you
know that's a win as well this is our HDR test footage that we filmed on the
re cameras we did a whole ShortCircuit on that as well just to see the AMOLED
and how the screen handles it it's pretty it it it's better than my TV at
home because I have Colton's 75 in TCL
4K garbage I'm not really a movie experienced person on my phone anyways
but if I had to watch a movie or or something on a plane this is this is
great and that oh man again I just noticed again the bezels being so thin
there it feels like the screen is that much bigger I mean it is it's whatever
it was 6.85 right so the downside of I
guess having this much screen though is you do have to put the camera under one
thing again I've noticed very difficult to see it when something is on the
screen but we'll see how that actually affects the quality of the camera camera
but first let me take a selfie
jez it's a selfie camera I don't know I
don't do many video calls I don't take many selfies anyways so for me this is
more than enough of a camera but I would not buy this phone if you're wanting to
take photos kind of thing if that's like your primary reason for picking up a
phone this probably might not be the the selling feature for you but let's try
the the rear camera let's take a photo of the boys over there
you go well those rear cameras are definitely better than the selfie camera
the rears are 50 megapixel cameras and a 2 megapixel macro and then the selfie
camera was a 16 megapixel which is the same as the 9 Pro but again they made
the upgrades to the gaming performance not necessarily the cameras for software
we obviously get Mora as we saw already we're on red Magic's OS version 10 and
we're on Android version 15 now they have promised at least one Android
version update so Android 16 hopefully
but you know that seems to be the most common complaint with the red magic
phones is they don't get several updates but we have Google Gemini to save the
day Google Gemini as some of you know allows you to do image editing photo
searching real-time translations as well and a chat let's try chatting with it
I'm here whenever you're ready can you try to act more like Mora from red magic
how about we start with a simple question what's on your mind today I
really like the red magic phone okay I hear you the red magic phones are
definitely cool known for being really fast and great for gaming you don't
sound like Mora please talk more like Mora from red
magic okay I'm getting the hang of this so what do you like best about Mora is
it her personality the way she helps you out or something
else all right let's change the subject what's something cool you've learned or
done recently I'm done I'm uncomfortable now she
sto she shocked me bro
so after we've taken a look at all the features what do you guys think for $650
at the starting price for a gaming phone I think that's pretty good $800 you're
starting to get into that expensive territory and then that special edition
one we talked about with that 1 tab of storage that is
$1,000 you got to really love gaming in order to spend that much on a dedicated
phone but then again people spend way more on their computers or sometimes
multiple consoles so you guys can let us know in the comments down below but
thanks again red magic for sponsoring this episode if you guys enjoyed this one go check out the last one I did or
even the one before that with lonus unboxing the 9 Pro so that way you can
see what the differences
were taking this one
