Foreword:
Is there any meaning for the existence of gaming mobile phones? This matter does not need to be discussed today, because you can get the answer from the public’s feedback. When we see a good SoC, we will think that if gaming mobile phone manufacturers If you use it, it will surely bring out more potential, right? ——This is the state where gaming phones have taken shape and are deeply rooted.
Now that the game phone has developed to this day, it’s hard to say which one is the best. The Red Devils must be one that cannot be ignored. None of them are very good. Compared with the endorsement by a big manufacturer, the Red Devils are a bit difficult every step of the way, but today, the Red Devils have made their own game phone style step by step.
UDC full screen, no frame, sharp metal middle frame, built-in solid fan for heat dissipation, all of these can only be seen on the Red Magic mobile phone, and the latest Red Magic 8 Pro series has achieved these to the extreme.
The model we received this time is the Red Magic 8 Pro + Deuterium Front Transparent Edition 16GB + 512GB version, so all the content below is based on the situation of this version. The specific configuration parameters of the machine are as follows:
1. Performance
As a top gaming phone, performance and running scores are naturally the most anticipated, and this time the Snapdragon 8Gen2 has almost no obvious shortcomings, unlike last year’s Snapdragon 8Gen1, so the strong alliance with the Red Devils The results are very good when you run casually.
This time, the 16GB+512GB version of the Red Magic 8 Pro+Deuterium Front transparent version scored 1315437 points, the CPU score was 288867, and the GPU score was 574898; in the storage test, the random read speed was 3451.5MB/s, and the random write speed was 3451.5MB/s. It is 2652.2MB/s, and the total score is 126500 points.
Perhaps for some users, the Red Devils gaming phone is a 16GB+512GB version. The running score of 131W+ is not high, and it does not have the score mentioned in the Red Devils press conference. The score is different every time, and it also has something to do with the environment. If you want to run a high score, then you can naturally achieve it in a lower temperature environment. The score of 131W+ is just that we ran it at room temperature after we got it. After a while, it can be stabilized above 131W, which is already very powerful.
2. Appearance
On the outer packaging box, the Red Magic 8 Pro+ Deuterium Front transparent version is not as exaggerated as ROG, and still maintains the design of a conventional mobile phone box. At the same time, there are some mecha and game elements printed on the box to meet the preferences of game lovers.
The whole box is silver-themed, with red added to some lines, and the logo of Snapdragon is also printed on the top of the box to indicate its identity.
The inside of the mobile phone box is also equipped with the data cable, charging head, and transparent mobile phone case. The charging head supports up to 165W fast charging. It should be noted here that our 8 Pro+ version, so the fast charging is equipped with 165W gallium nitride fast charging head, and 8 Pro is 80W, this is the only difference between the two phones except the version, but the battery capacity of 8 Pro is larger, reaching 6000mAh, it depends on the user’s choice .
The front of the Red Magic 8 Pro+ Deuterium Front transparent version uses a 6.8-inch UDC under-screen camera full screen, AMOLED flexible straight screen, the screen supplier is from BOE, the highest refresh rate is 120Hz, 20:9 ratio, FHD+, resolution 2480*1116 , 960Hz screen touch sampling rate, DCI-P3 100%, color accuracy △E<1.
As a gaming phone, the quality of the screen is particularly critical, and the Red Magic 8 Pro+ Deuterium Transparent Edition does this very well. A complete screen with no digging holes and ultra-narrow edges looks very pleasing to the eye, not to mention After fully opening the game.
In terms of lens configuration, the Red Magic 8 Pro+ Deuterium Front transparent version uses a three-camera lens combination, which are rear 5000W main camera + 200W macro + 800W wide-angle. The main camera is the GN5 super-sensitive main camera from Samsung. It is a gaming phone. , It’s still the same old saying, you can scan the code, the key is that it is enough and looks good in the overall collocation of the rear body. After all, for gamers, the coordination of the whole machine may be higher than the practicality.
The three lenses of the Red Magic 8 Pro + Deuterium Transparent Edition still have a slight bulge on the back of the fuselage. Thickness, 8.9mm. You must know that the thickness of some flagship mobile phones has reached more than 9mm. The Red Magic 8 Pro+ is a gaming phone.
In terms of the rear shell of the fuselage, because the one we got is the transparent version of the deuterium front, the design of the rear shell is still very red as always. I’m using it, does this back shell look good? I personally think it looks good, and it is not seen on other mobile phones now, so every time I think of a transparent body in the future, the only thing that comes to my mind is the Red Devil. This is the brand characteristic.
The design of the Red Magic 8 Pro+ Deuterium Front transparent version makes many people feel very tough. Indeed, the right-angled middle frame and the R-angle of the screen with almost no curvature will make the phone look very masculine as a whole. Some people say it looks like One piece of bricks, but in fact, this kind of body design has been around for a long time. Xiaomi’s first generation MIX is somewhat similar, except that MIX uses integrated ceramics, which will be more integrated in terms of feel and vision. However, the two phones The appearance still has quite a high degree of similarity, but at that time the chin frame of Mi MIX was far from being so narrow. After a few years, the front of the phone will soon be a complete screen.
3. Games
As for gaming phones, it is natural to use the games with the highest demand at the moment to test, so without further ado, let’s go directly to “Yuan Shen”.
Under the conditions of full HD + 60 frame quality + awakening mode of the mobile phone, the power consumption of the mobile phone is 12% during the 30-minute game time of “Yuan Shen”. Turn on the air conditioner at about 26 degrees.
In terms of frame rate, the performance dog test was used to run the map in the big world in 30 minutes. The frame rate of “Yuan Shen” can reach 60.4 frames, which is almost a straight line, and the bonus of the screen of the Red Devils to this kind of game is really too high , The scenery of the big world of “Original God” looks very pleasing to the eye, if it is not necessary to work, but I am willing to use this screen to run in the big world for a day to see the scenery.
In fact, I personally used the previous generation of Red Magic mobile phones to play “Yuan Shen” before, and the experience is also very good, but this generation of Red Magic 8 Pro has narrowed the side span, narrowed the chin, and the UDC has a higher degree of completion. With the addition of the new top-level SoC, the experience of “Yuan Shen” has really been improved. The complete conquest of “Yuan Shen” may be a promotion for other products, but for the Red Magic 8 Pro+, it should It is true.
“Yuan Shen” is no problem, and “Peace Elite”, which is an order of magnitude smaller than it, is naturally said to be no problem.
30 minutes of game time, the game quality is smooth + 90 frame mode, the system also turns on the awakening mode, the power consumption of Mi 13 Pro is 10%, this game personally no longer wastes the time of the performance dog to measure the frame rate After all, “Yuan Shen” is a straight line, and then testing “Peace Elite” is simply Zhang Fei eating bean sprouts.
For the game experience, the independent IC touch shoulder button that comes with the Red Devils is obviously more practical for “Peace Elite”. The 4G three-dimensional vibration brought by the dual X-axis linear motors on the set makes the experience of gunfight games more enjoyable. Taking it to the next level, it not only achieves stable frame rate and picture, but also gives feedback on body sensation, which is the ultimate pursuit that many gamers are unanimously pursuing.
Finally, let’s talk about the power consumption. One of the two phones is 12%, and the other is 10%. This power consumption is better than many conventional flagship phones, but for the game experience, their cooperation is obviously impossible. It is as good as the Red Magic 8 Pro+, so it’s not that there is no need for e-sports phones, but that the cooperation is not good. Weaker e-sports phones are no longer needed. The market will only accept the existence of the strong, just like a forest.
4. Battery life and fast charging
After the power consumption of the game, let’s look at two other big power-hungry movies and short videos. After playing the movie for an hour, the battery of the Red Magic 8 Pro + Deuterium Front Transparent Edition dropped from 52% to 48%, and the power consumption was 4%. Adjust the brightness to the highest, and test it in the speaker mode.
After 30 minutes of vibrato playback, the battery consumption of the Red Magic 8 Pro+ Deuterium Front Transparent Edition is 5%, the brightness is also adjusted to the highest, and the test is performed in the external playback mode.
Same as the power consumption of games, the power consumption of the Red Magic 8 Pro + Deuterium Front Transparent Edition is still lower than that of many brands of flagship phones in the adapted environment. You must know that no effort is spared in the stacking of game phones. The large screen is equipped with an ultra-high-performance SoC, and the battery consumption can be controlled so well. The Red Devils have contributed a lot to the system and software adjustments this time.
In terms of charging, the Red Magic 8 Pro+ Deuterium Front transparent version uses 165W fast charging. The battery capacity of the machine is 5000mAh. Although it does not reach 200W or more, it is definitely enough for use. It can be said to be very comfortable.
After actual measurement, when charging when the remaining power is 2%, it can be charged to 65% in 10 minutes, and can be charged to 100% in 18 minutes. The whole charging process takes less than 20 minutes, which is for a 5000mAh large battery. For gaming phones, there is no problem in terms of experience, and it also supports playing while rushing to adapt to their respective environments.
5. Take pictures
That is, when you don’t have such high hopes for one thing, it can always surprise you. The photo of the Red Magic 8 Pro+ is just that.
The 5000W main camera + 200W macro + 800W wide-angle lens combination can only be said to be barely passable. The key points are all on the main camera, the Samsung GN5. Fortunately, we have seen too much Samsung GN5, so its own Quality is enough.
Judging from the proofs, whether it is a close-up or a long-range view, the performance of the Red Magic 8 Pro+ is sufficient to meet our daily needs, and its control of light and the environment is very good. What kind of light and color temperature can you shoot? It will show you what it is.
We have seen too many photos on other mobile phones that are trying to please our eyes, so that we will question this time when we see photos without additions again, but in fact, what is in front of us is real.
Red Magic 8 Pro+, whether it is indoors or outdoors, whether the light is sufficient, has achieved the image capability of a game phone enough to give a “good” level, and this is enough, after all, users who buy this phone will not One was chosen for taking pictures of it.
Again, the coordination of the overall configuration of the lens can hit the hearts of users who buy the Red Magic 8 Pro series more accurately than the sample photos taken by the lens.
Summarize
This time the Red Devils 8 Pro series actually liked it very much when the official renderings were given, and the classic old Luo’s phrase “sharp aliens in the era of sleekness” can’t help appearing in my mind, square and upright The shape is rare in the mobile phone market in recent years, and the Red Devils can really make this ID, and also add the characteristics of their own mobile phone, which is very rare.
UDC has a full screen without digging holes, four ultra-narrow sides, a metal right-angle middle frame, a solid fan, a transparent back shell, a thickness of 8.9mm and a weight of 230g. Unique, no matter which point is mentioned, you can think “oh, this is the Red Devils phone”, when some characteristics of the product can form such a state in the public’s mind, then the brand has really become.
I dare not say whether there will be e-sports phones in the future mobile phone market, but after seeing this year’s Red Magic 8 Pro series, I will always look forward to the Red Magic mobile phone, because it is now the most distinctive one in the mass market. .
