Bruh, people crying about Rog but it cost nearly double. I am not any side fans but 1500$ for Rog or 800$ Redmagic 9 it clear in current economy you pick cheaper.

[mandalorianroby]

got the red magic 9 pro. stability means a lot to me when i play for a while. never been bothered with cameras, i take 4-5 pictures in a month

Thank you for this video i have been going back and forth between the two and was thinking of the Asus because it has the features i wanted to see storage and waterproofing as well as they adapted the 165hrz refresh and i liked the back display but you showed me that i shouldn't abandon the redmagic team since i have the redmagic 6s and needed a upgrade for this year

I have both RedMagic & Asus ROG 8 Pro.
Both of them are 🔥 game phones IMO the Rog is better all the way around but one area and that's the air triggers and there's absolutely horrible so I agree there 😂 functional air triggers are mandatory and that's a deal breaker for me so Im returning the Rog tomorrow and sticking with my RedMagic

[iamhestbech.iamorphan]

Rog p*ssed all over their core audience with the 8. I dont really mind the holepunch display but the ultrasonic triggers missing, no front speakers and the removal of a sub in the cooler. Its a sad day for me who have purchased rog phones for years.

I want to buy a gamer cell phone just to play games. I already have a great phone for everyday life, but playing competitively with just touch controls doesn't work. I even bought a gamepad to connect to the cell, but I can't find a setting that is as precise when rotating the camera as it is with the touch.
I'm between the ROG 7 and Redmagic 9 Pro, but I can't decide, as most reviews tend to focus superficially on some good or bad details of each instead of analyzing everything each one offers in practice to put on a scale.


I want a cell phone that has triggers and the ROG, at least until the 7, seems to have an advantage in this regard, as it can configure more than one command in the triggers. Furthermore, it has very good sound and better anti-scratch protection technology on the the other hand, I saw a lot of people complaining about the ROG Phone, including on the Asus page, about the lack of support, problems with updates that are not corrected and problems with the device itself, plus this cell phone costs much more.


As for Redmagic 9, there are a lot of people saying it's better and so on, but I also saw that it also has some problems with the software, it doesn't offer frequent updates - especially in the global version -, it seems that the desktop function doesn't work very well and the battery doesn't last as expected.... On the other hand, it is a cheaper phone with a newer chip compared to the ROG 7.

I’ve already ordered the red magic 16gb

The active cooling on the RedMagic also helps it maintain performance.

[ralimoezzi]

In the end which one is best for game performance?

[QarlesMx]

Red Magic is better. You have plenty variety of coolers also in case you are playing something like WZM. I had both and I found Red Magic better than Rog.

[fiuploii]

which one has the best speakers? thanks!

[Labergemusic]

I really wanted the ROG phone to be the winner but it simply isnt.

[Tank_Facts]

Frankly as someone who wants to bring their phone pretty much anywhere, the IP68 rating is excellent.

[arlonahiron]

asus killed its rog line with this 8 tbh, i own a rm, if my rm gets hot given that this has a fan built in, I wonder how hotter asus rog could get.

[lgmarquez]

I recentley bought a redmagic 9 pro on facebook marketplace for $300USD. My primary ine is a 15 pro max but Ive always wanted to try a gaming phone for fun, plus the price was way too good to pass up. This ine is a beast!

[darbukadrummer]

In some regions 9 pro has a 4g LTE problems and thats a problem as for me... but they say that with updates it will go ( i hope so))

[mvpogi]

+1 subs. Bc of you, I know what to pick between both.

[haroldhenrygundran]

Honest and nice review now i'll surely get red magic 9 pro

[alfredrentuza]

I just find the numbers here weird, because I am also viewing other videos for the comparison for both 2 phones and the numbers most of them got should not be far even by default (without aero active cooler x and the fan on on redmagic 9 pro)

[KenLinx]

Battery size doesn't necessarily mean longer hours. I heard the Redmagic 9 Pro loses battery fast. Does it actually last longer than the ROG Phone 8?
