These are gaming phones, but their practical design and aggressive pricing might appeal to non-gamers too.

    Why do they not make a rubber slider/flap for the vent? Can save a lot by stopping water flowing in.

      That big, beefy, juicy 6500mAh battery is calling me.

        but it has bad software even after a couple years it hasn't improved much

            Awful software support
            Horrible camera performance
            Underwhelming screen quality

            Yeah that's not a right flagship for me

              I'm waiting for the RedMagic 10 Pro

                    Would be like instant buy the 9s pro plus but here in Slovakia you cant buy phone like that.
                    Yes you can import it but for sake of spare parts and possible repairs its not a very vise idea.

                      Faster is always better.

                        They should provide at least 4 OS updates, otherwise it is not worth it at this price, even 300 euro phones have a better update policy.

                            I personally don't need a gaming phone. For me these kind of phones are the most useless things ever invented. I wouldn't give up on my Steam Deck Oled or Switch Oled for something like this. This is one of the reasons why they sales number is very poor in Europe

                                I can't even recommend the regular nubia Z series as a daily driver, let alone Red Magic series. These phones are tailored for gaming. The software is okay, but nothing interesting other than bunch of gaming features based on my experience.

                                  If you're not a heavy gamer, a Redmagic phone is not a good choice. Most people are better off with something that has better cameras, screen and cameras, a jack-of-all-trades device. This is gaming phone and that's about it.

                                    Anonymous, 07 Jul 2024They both are so desirable as Xperia 1 vi with that low res... moreFHD+ is still more than plenty for most people. It's not like they can see the difference between FHD+ and QHD+ unless it's a large-sized tablet screen panel.

                                      DigBick, 07 Jul 2024who even buys phone like these.?At least in my country, it's a more popular choice over ASUS ROG Phone. Even in the secondhand market, I see way more secondhand Red Magic over secondhand ROG Phone.

                                        I definitely have no interest in the Pro+ version despite 16/24GB RAM. I'm more than happy to take a bigger battery over ridiculously overkill wired charging speed.

                                        The only thing that bothers me is whether the 9S Pro is a better buy than the 9 Pro. Yes, the 9S Pro has an improved cooling solution. But the 9 Pro shows an utterly impressive battery endurance rating, leading the pack in front of the also equally impressive Sony Xperia 1 Mk6.
