RM OS feels very tacky and slapped together. I don't feel like any care and effort was put into their OS design. It's like ordering Domino's and saying it was good pizza.

Also you are very lucky if you were able to boot into EDL via button combo. Many phones require disassembly and you need to short circuit some test points on the motherboard in order to boot into EDL.

You can emulate up to PS2 and Switch, which are better than any trash phone games out there.
And for a lot of people, a portable device is better than a pc or console that is only useful when the user is at home. Else, they would just be gathering dust.

If this fails your expectations, do you recommend the 8/8s line?

Starsplash , 21 Dec 2023To your comment that you haven't received any software... moreFYI, no updated is showing in update section, just said Your Phone is on the latest update.
Good for u, if u have any update.
I have 2 phones, one for work and one for personal use, on my old Iphone 13 pro max, there´s no such problems, neither when i had my OP 7 Pro(MB died) before buying Red Magic 8 Pro. So what facts are you talking about.
Use your brains before using ur fingers to type.

ferwxc, 20 Dec 2023Too late, already brought Redmagic 8 Pro, still on June Sec... moreTo your comment that you haven't received any software updates, bug fixes and enhancements to the android os 13 and security patches since June on your red magic 8S Pro as you should by now. The latest update is REDMAGICOS8.0.7_NX729J_EEA
I have received a couple of software updates since June, the latest update is this month December, security patch and system improvements. Software updates from ZTE/Nubia are spread out and more timely than other software updates from other smartphone brands. If people keep commenting that they don't receive updates, then they don't own a red magic or a zte/nubia device. Some people need to get there facts correct before posting.

S, 21 Dec 2023It is way better to buy playstation or desktop as AAA games... moreI think NOT. Its better to call them Niche, rather than gimmicks.
I love gaming, but I'll probably never buy a PlayStation, Sure hi end phones like flagship Samsung phones can handle most games, but the heating problem always comes, and then there's batteries. That's where gaming phones come in...

It is way better to buy playstation or desktop as AAA games can be played on them.
On so called gaming phones those can't be played even within upcoming 10 years.
All these gaming phones are just marketing gimmicks in terms of gaming.
Hardware wise they are good only.
And those who plays game while commuting will like it.
Entertainmaint is always at home.

I am concerned with the bootloader unlock as well as a few other users on here. I had (and returned) the 8S Pro, and I had to do the EDL/janky as heck bootloader unlock where I had to grab the fastboot files from the 8 Pro and move them to the 8S Pro to unlock the bootloader to give it fastboot commands. RIDICULOUS that this is a thing.
I am also wondering about Google AR Core, as it was not available for the 8S Pro (I am not sure about the 8 Pro). I am not sure why it wouldn't be available, other than that would require some sort of certification from Google.
Can someonet who has this phone please boot into the bootloader and try the do to the fastboot commands to try to unlock the bootloader? Thank someone very much.
Also, try to install AR Core from the Google Play store to see if it is available.
If the bootloader is unlockable and the AR Core is available, then I will most likely get this phone over any others.
If the bootloader isn't unlockable, I may have to try something else. Might have to wait for the Motorola Edge + 2024 comes out. I have heard that OnePlus has even been stingy the past few years with unlocking their bootloaders, which is CRAZY. They have gone straight down the crapper since Carl Pei left.

The software on redmagic 8 pro was atrocious, unless they fix it and go near stock, I'm not buying another redmagic phone
