Messier83, 26 Sep 2022You brought this i think second hand...this phone was relea... moreYes sadly overpriced for this and got wrong smartphone sent
Kinda got scammed on dhgate
I think the price should be 150 pound not €250/300$
I don't advice getting the older Nubia red magic smartphones

I buy nubia red magic mars online for old grampa ( 250 pound 8gb ram 128 rom )
but we got sent This phone and the The Chinese software version
we can get full refund suggestions
my old grampa not used the phone will show him the phone tomorrow and give update
Anyway i review this phone
The nubia red magic phone
The best phone i have ever used it is fast and smooth responsive
it crashs all budget & mid range phones
I tested the phone for many things first of all google app store does not work and i can't make it work on this phone i also think we got sent it second head but pay for new phone so will refund it
The browsers that come per instilled on this smartphone are Chinese but with badly translated too english and some parts just in Chinese making the browser barely usable
The app stores on this smartphone are in Chinese and made for the Chinese market too
A lot of this has Chinese software browser had too use the browser too download third party app stores there a lot of software we don't fully understand there are Chinese app stores on this phone too and other stuff
The phone settings are in English mostly we had too change a lot of bad settings and make the phone navigation better phone gestures navigation was so bad had too change too more stock android buttons in settings too make the phone more usable
I had too use aptoide & uptodown app stores then instill opera gx gaming browser
it was a bit trickly The software is a bit rough around the edges and a bit buggly The software is flawed in some ways not everthing works
also the phone security is a little on the restrictive side
after we set the phone up instilled everthing we needed we did want google app store but had too use a work around the aurora app store also i got vmos android virtual machine too work in this smartphone so i can just emulate a stock android 5 phone and enable root in it also emulate a android 7 stock android phone had to fix keyboard app not in english
i tested camera battery games performance
battery life is good lasts for a long time when gaming camera is also great don't beleave any of the reviewers saying gaming phones have bad cameras its a myth
The screen on this phone is good for a 60hz ips screen The screen touch responsiveness is hyper responsive feels heavy and tank like too use but runs like a super car
The build quality of this gaming phone is outstanding it's aluminum back aluminum frame feel great in the hands This phone is built like a tank its massive its a real unit The buttons are good
The performance is strong the phone feels like a big heavy machine too use feels like a fast phone it fast in the ul browsing is respond too touch fast works great browsing the web
The smartphone has a switch too change too gaming mode in the launcher inside the gaming mode its like a game console the software is really rough around the edges here and navigation like the back botton is badly placed or missing few
The phone has great settings for gaming like over clocking cpu or gpu and other gaming settings you can add games too game mode or play them in the normal launcher
The fps i get in games is stable and games run smooth mid to low settings
game loading times are just about ok
The only weakness is screen touch delay is too long for my liking in fast paced games
i don't like ips screens at all because there know to not be the best for gaming as a type of screen also this screen does look really good and the screen res of 1080p is great i much thank a 90hz oled screen would be better
The phones strengths and weakness
The good
good performance 128 storage and 8gb ram is ok given the age of the phone
and is minimum specs needed for gaming in 2022/2023
good camera
screen res of 1080p
gaming opinions in settings
fast in browser and in systom ul
The metal build quality and feel in hands good buttons has rgb lights on the back too
the ok
snapdragon 835 is ok
60hz ips screen screen
gaming is ok
the bad
runs android 9 i think no longer supported
over payed for it will get refused wrong phone
software is rough around the edges a mix of english and Chinese badly translated too english bugs some apps just crash or websites don't work ( most do work )
no google app store on my one
If you can find this smartphone for 150 pound with google app store support its worth getting or just save up and buy a newer gaming phone gaming phones are so much better then any normal phone its crazy how good they are they should be mainstream
Am really going miss this phone even so i only sit it up for my grampa and tested it works for him we will have to refund it and find him new phone
:( any suggestions my grampa needs a new phone advise of phones for him too buy ?
he is not a gamer just wants a good overall phone

If there is a minus 100 stars, that would not be enough to say how bad this phone is... I was really excited in the beginning about this phone (RedMagic 5s), but as you go along all the problems start and I don't even know where to begin... software beyond criticism, would not waste words on that. Fan is a joke, overheating is a normal experience, probably could cook my breakfast on the phone. Triggers work when they want, screen unresponsive so often... I could go on for a while about how bad this phone is but I think I've wasted enough of my time on explanations... bottom line... Don't buy this phone unless you want a nightmare!!! BTW, Redmagic bluetooth headphones... bigger joke than the phone.

Buying a Red Magic it's a scam. It's an expensive phone and they will never update Android. I've contacted the support team and they say that unfortunately there is no update available. Also, they don't refund, so you can buy a decent smartphone. Disgraceful!

Very good phone with 835 CPU, same as Pixel 2XL. LCD screen is bright and easy to read. The mono speaker is loud enough, but wish it had stereo. Headphone jack is a plus. Touchscreen is responsive and accurate. LED strip in the bck AND LED notification dot on front is great. Feels great in hand, look sgreat.

this brand, especially phone really has a lot of troubles. the manufacturers or their customer service or technical support never do anything or even answer simple questions when you live any problem with these devices.
my red magic stopped working suddenly, without any certain reason. could not get any support. local repairing services refuse even to accept repairing these devices, the reason! no software support, no updates , no simple files..
i used 5 phones zte and nubia.. i lived problems with allll..
even i still wait for any help from anyone about this red magic.

I received my RM3 the day after I ordered it!
I live in Belgium, phone was shipped from Poland, both EU countries so that probably explains that.

Order is really late and customer service does not reply. Good luck all buyers if you have any problems with phone.
