I didn't even know wifi7 and BT 5.3 were a thing already.

[mikehunt]

As soon as sd8g2 was announced i was looking out for this phone! Always excited to see what red magic has to offer with that active cooling

[WundrBrd]

SD 8 Gen 2 looks really impressive. Just wish these phones would come with a microSD card slot. Will wait for the next Xperia

[fsrncbc]

They really should've kept the SD card slot. Those emulators ROMs (and other stuff like photos and videos, since the phone won't be used just for gaming, but for a lot of day to day tasks) surely will eat a lot of space. Moving some lower-end consoles ROMs to a SD card with the decent enough speeds would've help to save space in a long run.

[mistamaog]

I love the design, that bezeless screen with no punch hole, the bigger battery, upgraded main sensor finally, HEADPHONE JACK, and that rectangular shape!
My only gripes are that the ultra wide sensor isn't that good, and I'm not sure how the software updates are. I heard it's getting better though.

[-Brunnen-G]

That is seriously impressive. I haven't been this impressed with a phone in some time. I'll still have to look at reviews of it as a phone, but as long as it has a decent camera and the phone call quality is good, this phone seems like a good purchase, The price is about par for the course for something of this speed and quality.

[Ramboh]

Just for future reference. I’m interested in just pushing the hardware to it’s full capabilities. You should also include a setup/startup rating for emulation just to compare the different OS available. Thankful for your channel.

[bojinglebells]

Love that it has headphone jack, but really wish it had microSD support. These "gaming" phones should take note from the Steam Deck where its intended extended storage is microSD even though it technically supports SSD upgrades via its m.2 slot.

[Jbrimbelibap]

What you can do on android is bump up the resolution of genshin impact if you have a rooted phone. Geekerwan tested this on the Xiaomi 13, and the 8gen2 can play genshin at 4k 30 fps which is quite insane. The adreno 740 is said to be comparable to a gtx 1050, and it's a year ahead of apple's best offering

[tee_tow]

Best looking phone around ‼️
Just needs an SD card slot

[ahmadaburahma]

I have seen a benchmark for the 8 gen 2 chip, the fact that it actually beats even the iPhone is crazy

[JustinPennito]

I've had this phone myself for almost 2 weeks & love it. I also did a video on my channel for it, but of course, yours is way better, which is why I look forward to these. Now I do want to clarify something about the refresh rate. RedMagic was not only the first to bring 144hz refresh rates to mobile, but also 165hz & the reason this is capped at 120hz, is simply because of the in-disply selfie camera. Last year when they came out with the RedMagic 7 & 7 Pro, the standard 7 had a 165hz refresh rate, as did the 6/6S Series from the year before, but lacked the hidden front facing camera the 7 Pro had, just as the 7S (China release only) & 7S Pro didn't/did, respectively, a few months later. This year, they chose to solely go with the Pro, so there is no model without the in-disply front facing camera & he technology isn't quite there yet, for them comfortably offer refresh rates higher than 120hz with the hidden camera.

"Its 2023 and yes it has a Headphone jack"
Bro this is such a blessing nowadays.

[FLASHBATR]

14:30 This just shows you how far ahead the technology has advanced in the last 20 years. You are able to play PS2 games on a device that is 20% the size of a PS2 in 4x native resolution. Wow

[michaelcorcoran]

My only hang up about this phone is I hear it doesn't support third party launcher is very well. At least with previous iterations of the phone. Maybe that's changed. Still it's refreshing to see some unique phones in the gaming space is where a lot of them are. I'm not a huge mobile gamer but the phones are interesting in their own ride.

[Girvo]

What a beast of a device! Crazy. Can’t wait to buy one in a few years second hand for cheap and making a hell of a handheld from it haha

[marcodamn]

Looking forward to a more in-depth emulation video for the Red Magic 8 Pro Plus. I am especially looking forward to a thorough review of the desktop mode in combination with various emulators. Also, can Wii and Gamecube go any higher than 720p on this? Seems a little low and I feel it should be able to do at least 1080p.

[panikk]

apparently the 8 pro is only going to cost $800 when it comes out early next month. that's fucking insane for what they're offering here. almost makes me regret getting my pixel 7

[thejaniel]

If i wasn't so tight on money i would totally switch from S21 Ultra to this, it's incredible how much power and features it has compared to a Samsung Flagship.

[tdata]

Besides bringing back the micro SD card slot, the thing that would make this perfect is if it took a page out of ASUS's playbook and put another USB C Charging mostly port, on the side.
