    Anonymous, 21 Dec 2022How's the software support/updates from this company? It's ZTE, so really bad. Late, buggy and you are lucky to get one major update.

            i just did my overview of what i think of this years gaming smartphone by Nubia

            There are mini pc the size of this smartphone for reals all of this is possible
            add a 9000mah battery use the extra thickness for ports and SSD storage
            there is enough space to work with if good design

            This smartphone is not water proof because of built in fans & cooling system with vents so user removable battery no problem if this has a ip rating i be shocked

            will need water proof case with this one

            we do need sim card slots what the point even having a smartphone if i can't put both of my sim cards in it
            this is as bad as it gets

            expandable storage is still useful for file transfer and has use cases
            and will remain good yes i know sd card storage is not the fastest

            i wish ports and storage was not such a sore spot on smartphones but this a result of unhealthily market going anti feature path in apples foot steps

            Nubia red magic smartphones are good
            I think there are work Around's for most of there short comings

            portable laptop or Oukitel WP19 or Oukitel WP15
            great battery's they have sadly are pear pressured too conform too the hole punch that hurts the viewing experience as resuit of blind spot on screen
            its sad the Energizer Power Max P18K Pop failed

This is especially true for content creators. Thats why big storage is needed. Not to mention the large size of games these days.

                Man no phone or no flagship grade device like this have this. Less mechanical parts better for water and dust resistace.

                No gamer friendly SD card slot.
                Man since no game can be stored and run from SD card slot this feature is not needed,
                Most cards reading and writing speeds is just 10 which cant be used for gaming anyway and for anything else 512GB or 1TB is plenty of storage.

                Reliable high quality high endurance high speed storage ufs 4.0 is good enough but real SSD is ideal.
                SSD in phones is nto possible with current level of technology. Since this is a gaming phone another sim slot is not needed. E sim would and should fix this problem.

                Want's
                x2 of usb 3.0 ports HDMI port more storage space and much more ram faster SSD storage drive more robust cooling system real SSD storage
                More storage slots and drives and ports
                Another extra headphone jack
                Much Bigger battery
                Quad sim card slot and triple SD card slot
                Man this is a 6 inch gaming phone even a 10 inch tablet could not have enough space for what you want. There is no space within the phone for all you wants and needs plus you must counts wires too.

                My personal suggestion and reccomendation to you is:
                Buy a portable laptop problem solved. Something spall like 14 inch but with good enough power and cooling for all your needs.

                Or buy a battery beast phone something like Oukitel WP19 or Oukitel WP15.
                Problem solved.

                  Take that 6 GB iPhone Pro Max Ultimate Plus.

                    ZTE nubia Red Magic 8 Pro

                    Had a look at the specs

                    This looks like a more refined version of last year's flagship

                    1tb ufs 4.0 storage this is new and good amount of storage
                    18gb ram i hope Nubia use virtual ram as well

                    The Snapdragon 8 gen 2 should be more efficient this be a plus
                    At least a big 6000mah battery

                    This looks promising for battery life
                    I hope this smartphone got a good power saver mode also or work goes into this

                    Camera is beast but selfie camera going be really poor and under display camera not good for privacy either

                    I rather Nubia used a pop up camera or had bigger bezel room too hold the Smartphone without touching the screen and put the camera in a bezel so it does not interfere with the viewing experience of the screen

                    120hz screen fine refresh rate fine unless you're old Nubia smartphone had 165hz then this feels like a downgrade and going downhill

                    Not many hardware spec improvements
                    Just more refined version of last year's

                    Am sure the Snapdragon 8 gen 2 can support up too 24gb system ram

                    but for some reason still stuck at 18gb ram maybe there no 24gb ram sets in manufacturing or in the market for smartphones yet

                    What I like and dislike

                    Likes
                    good hardware ram 18gb ram / 1tb storage Snapdragon 8 gen 2 processor
                    Red magic os has many good features for gamers and minimum blootware and desktop mode will work with Monitor
                    Most likely runs stable version of Android and never change or break or get slowed down by software updates
                    main camera will be very good
                    Good active cooling system with fans
                    Has headphone jack

                    Ok
                    battery size repairability unknown ?? Multi cameras are not necessary one good camera is all u need
                    Software overall fast changing not great for battery health of smartphone hope slow changing is also possible
                    Chinese market focused apps and software

                    Bad
                    selfie camera Android 12 or android 13 is worsened version of Android Google fault here not Nubia
                    None user removable battery
                    No gamer friendly SD card slot

                    Software no app draw gestures navigation needs to be changed back to 3 button navigation in settings based of experience with user interface with post Nubia red magic phones

                    Chinese version of Nubia red magic software don't have Google app store
                    The lower ram & storage versions of this smartphone
                    Will be unbalanced in hardware specs

                    There shouldn't be different ram & storage versions of the same modal of smartphone

                    Needs and wants

                    Needs
                    Dual SIM card slot
                    Just a stable os running smoothly and good at multi tasking 1tb rom / 18gb ram yes this a flagship game phone so need too have for big game library emulator and so on etc
                    Most likely u will need water proof rugged case and screen protectors
                    Reliable high quality high endurance high speed storage ufs 4.0 is good enough but real SSD is ideal

                    Want's

                      can ZTE steal show from Asus and use Sabre level DAC absent in newer ROG phones

                        Crazy, 06 Dec 2022I think gaming smartphone doesn't need 512gb,1tb stora... moreGamers will have lots of apps even if they only use 1-2 a day and more storage is more “attractive”. Also games use lots of storage with updates

                            Like all Nubias Red magic before its going to be crazy like phone with crazy like specs for insane low pricing compared to most other competition.
                            It slso boasts some premium features like build in fan or aviation aluminium frame and 18GB of ram. 520HZ touch sensing etc.

                                  How much how many game you can cover (daily task) a day? 😌
                                  Those storage only useful when you got High end camera for still and recording. For some events, occasion, traveling.
