    If you enjoy using Google Assistant or Gemini with a locked screen phone, don't get this garbage because it won't work. You have to unlock the screen before using any form of digital assistant. ZTE really screwed me over with this must have feature. My RM9P will not allow to set an alarm or tell me the time when the screen is locked. I hate this phone.

      Did you not manage to discover the charge separation feature? Biggest feature for a gaming phone or any power user phone.

                It's look far better than previous iron man and super man phone edition by the manufacturer

                            Does anyone who have the redmagic 9 pro have issue with the camera where if they click on the shoot photo button, it takes awhile to load the photo onto the preview tray and the circle where u click on is swirling around for a bit, especially for the front selfie camera or at night time? I compared with older phones and all of them gets saved immediately upon clicking on shoot photo. So is this normal for this particular model and just have a crappy camera? Or did I get a faulty device?

                              algae , 12 Feb 2024Well it's cheaper than its competitor (ROG phone 8) so... moreYou are right, I think red magic will not go a long way with these issues. Most people praising this phone don't have it, but when they buy it they will soon realize it's the wrong choice unless they care only about gaming.

                                  Dhancheet, 05 Feb 2024I see a lot of people praising this phone but actually they... moreWell it's cheaper than its competitor (ROG phone 8) so naturally, people will always point out it's advantages over its counterpart, which makes sense considering people who buy these phones only cares about gaming, but recently, the ROG phone lineup had made a switch towards an all rounder phone ( but with gaming features still, it's ROG, obviously) rather than a gaming centric one, while REDMAGIC still seems to tread through that path, so what I'm trying to say is - you should've bought other flagship phones rather than this one, the extra numbers on benchmarks won't suffice the gap in it's overall quality (either hardware and software), considering REDMAGIC rarely updates it's software you'll be stuck with those bugs for a while, and that screen? cope lol

                                    I see a lot of people praising this phone but actually they do not tell you all, specially the bad points. I have been using the RM9 pro for around a month and I have encountered so much problems and bugs. Some are listed below.

                                    1, the display accuracy is so bad. There are only three color options to choose with two completely unusable due to the overly yellowish tint. If you want reading mode you don't need to switch it on, these two color options are enough. People owning this phone can confirm it.

                                    2, people say it has good battery backup but actually the power drain when idle is very high, around 4% every 6 hours. The weirdest part is that the screen consumes more power when off than the apps.

                                    3, sometimes the 120fps refresh rate stops working on its own, and I have to leave the phone idle for like 15mins for it to work again.

                                    4, the scheduled power on/off does not work properly. Sometimes it works and sometimes not.

                                    5, In gamespace, the first wallpaper when we enter is zoomed in instead of the actual size and other wallpapers sometimes takes time to load.

                                    6. The tiny screen over the front camera is poor quality. On the first day of use there was no issue at all but when I ran wildlife extreme stress test for the first time the phone turned off due to overheating. When I switched back on, there was a noticeable greenish tint on the tiny screen. It was obvious that it got damaged and its permanent. So, be careful with overheating.

                                    The above are only a few issues, I am sure if I use the phone for like a year the amount of bugs and problems encountered will increase. If we list all here, am sure those who were planning to buy this phone will change their mind.

                                    I am just a basic user, thats why I chose this phone, but after using it, it doesn't feels like a flagship at all. It just feels like a mid range with an 8gen3 chip.

                                      Why GSMArena did not test the display accuracy and no one talking about it. I have the red magic 9 pro and the display accuracy is so bad. There are only three color options to choose with only the colorful preset useable. The others are too yellowish as if reading mode is on and no way usable. The previous Red magic 8 pro had much more color options and better display accuracy. This one is a complete downgrade and disappointing. Maybe that's why GSMArena did not talk about it.

                                        Yaseen.97, 02 Feb 2024What's the band 71 for?Band n71 is for extended range 5G for T-Mobile in the US, so basically if you have a Redmagic phone with T-Mobile (or related MVNOs) you'll pretty much only get 5G in the centers of major cities.
