  • For 2024 it's still enough to play heavy games

    So i've been testing a few high end phones to play Genshin+Wuthering Waves
    Trying to get lowest chipset as possible to play them smoothly at highest 60fps
    And this phone with SD8 gen 2 is the comfort point
    Even without diablo mode, you can still get stable 55-60fps
    Touch sampling rate is the key point, there is only a few phones with 1000hz
    I use it only for gaming
    Very not recommend it to use Red Magic for daily use
    I protect the fan hole with speaker filter sticker, so the dust will not easily get inside

    Pros
    • Touch sampling rate
    • Gaming features
    • Excellent Bypass charging
    • Price
    • Connectivity
    Cons
    • Heavy
    • IP rating
    • Camera
    • UI for global is quite suck
    • No HDR on display

  • A performance beast that comes with a lot of exclusive feature for gamers !

    This phone has one of the best designs i've ever seen for an android phone. It's, of course, powerful as hell and can run any game (even the biggest ones like Call Of Duty Mobile) at the maximul framerate allowed by the game, on Ultra settings. It's obviously not made for everyone, it's really focused on gaming usage and is not water resistant and sometimes can heat, but the cooling system is really well made. Definetely an outstanding phone for tech enthusiasts !

    Good performance, good quality, very nice. 100% recommended

    Very good quality, it is very pretty in my opinion it attracts many looks when they see it, its rgb lights attract attention but they can be turned off. Unfortunately it is slowly falling behind, it is not very resistant to dust and humidity but it makes up for it with its power and its resistance to the screen, I bought it with a slight crack in the screen and it fell 4 times with strong blows on a stone. and it held up, its cameras are good but they are not the best if you want a cell phone consistent in resistance or with a nice camera, go for some X6 or something from that line. In my opinion it is still a good option for playing games. Greetings

    Pros
    • Good gaming performance and very good quality
    Cons
    • The cameras are bad, little resistance to dust and humidity

    Hello everyone, I want to share my monster red magic, my opinion about the phone red magic 8s pro, it's just a super powerful phone, I play pubg mobile on it, 120 FPS, it works great, it doesn't heat up, many gaming phones get very hot in games, for example, poco, I also had red magic 7, it got very hot, Snapdragon 8gen1. Red magic 8s pro doesn't heat up at all, its processor is Snapdragon 8s gen2, a very successful processor. If you want to buy a phone for gaming, I recommend it

    Remarkable but nowadays you can ask for much more, despite what is demanded (gaming) is brutality

    It is a phone that has a lot to be desired in its operating system, it is not the best but it is not bad either, in terms of playability it is the most comfortable mobile phone I have had so far, you can play any type of game at maximum quality without any problem , the wide variety of options and game modes (Ecological - Balanced - Rise - Devil Mode) make it even more comfortable, the cameras have a lot to be desired, the selfie camera is crap, but the rear cameras where it stands out the most is On the video camera, it looks very smooth and with decent quality.

    Pros
    • Battery
    • Gaming Experience
    • Refrigeration
    • Sharp colors
    • Very aesthetic
    Cons
    • Protection against dust and water
    • Decent audio but could be improved

    Remember that it is a GAMING cell phone. Still very COMPLETE.

    It is an excellent cell phone DESIGN: Its design is beautiful. Borderless screen, any multimedia playback is enjoyed 200%. The touch responds immediately SOUND: The sound is quite loud and clean. It has a jack connector to better enjoy wired headphones, something that almost no other high-end offers you. PROCESSOR Makes any application, even any game, run really smoothly. Not for nothing is it the most powerful on the market CAMERAS: The main cameras take very good photos and record high-quality videos both during the day and at dusk. The problem, like most cell phones including high-end phones, is when it gets dark and the light is poor, that's when it clearly costs you. But it is normal, not to mention that it is a gaming cell phone and they always cut quality in the camera section. But this GAMING cell phone has the advantage because in daytime photos it is on par with the best cell phones. The front camera, being under the screen, can take images with pixels, rainbows, or blur. But other times it takes a photo like a normal front camera. Acceptable photos. In low light, more of the same, horrible photos BATTERY: For example, always at 120hz, high brightness screen and other functions that, when active, consume energy, it still lasts me a full day and only on the 2nd day in the afternoon do I charge the battery ( 20%) and in 35 MINUTES I already have the battery at 100%, ready to use it for another almost TWO days (No more leaving the cell phone charging overnight) I did not buy it because it is a gaming cell phone, but because of its screen without front camera that bothers, without borders, high definition and good brightness and exceeded all expectations "THE BAD"The only bad thing is that having the integrated cooler does not have resistance against dust and/or water and its care can become worrying. FACT: its version for non-gamers is the "Nubia Z50 Ultra" but only available with Chinese ROM :')

    Pros
    • Screen

    Powerful Hardware with Software Enhancements

    Well, I bought the phone because my ROG Phone 5 started to fail and I decided to renew it for a more "economical" option. The Red Magic 8S PRO meets what I asked for, but the difference in the interface is certainly very noticeable. gaming I mean. In hardware it is a beast, good processor, RAM, etc.. but in the customization of the triggers I have to configure the dual partition, since they are contact areas.. it should let you divide the area (for now as of today of 3/9/23 does not allow it) The rest of the things are very good, except for what I have commented negatively, the OS mixes in the competitive mode some words in Italian with Spanish and some literal translations that go out of context ; the front camera... forget about it... Come on... you will look like you are foggy all the time. There are thousands of videos on the internet talking about this mobile, so I will close by saying that: It is good, it does what is asked of it, it has aspects that could be improved but it is a good device with very great potential for improvement at the OS level.

    Pros
    • Hardware
    • Battery
    • Gaming Environment
    • Screen quality
    • Connection
    • Fast charge
    Cons
    • Spanish translation errors
    • Fog effect front camera
    • Lack of some plugins in competitive mode

What is a Ki score?
Ki is an automatic score based on the specifications and prices of devices. It is calculated using over 200 variables to rank smartphones, tablets and other devices from best to worst.
How do we calculate the Ki?

In this case, to determine the score we evaluate 5 general aspects:

  • Design and screen
  • Hardware and performance
  • Camera
  • Connectivity
  • Battery

Once these 5 factors have been rated, we introduce the price variable. This means that any two devices with the same ratings get a different Ki score for quality vs price.

Even a device objectively worse than another may have a higher Ki score if it has a better price.

Does the Ki score change?

The Ki varies as time goes by. As new devices with better specifications enter the market the Ki score of older devices will go down, always being compensated of their decrease in price.
