Finally someone points out the ir blaster on the top. 90% of people who review this phone don’t mention it.
One of the most amazing features of this phone imo. Old but powerful tech.

[Snoopy-sdnv]

I got this and it’s an amazing phone. i’ve seen some people say bad things about it, but they need to realize this is a gaming phone, not a camera phone or a underwater phone. It’s for gaming. It’s a bit expensive, but when compared to any other phone on the market, it’s cheaper and more powerful. It also comes with a really nice 80 W charger and the cord. That being said, there’s a cool fan on the back, which helps cool, the phone, but that also makes it completely vulnerable to water. I wouldn’t even have this in the bathroom while I’m showering.

Nice to see a brighter future in the tech industry. First official released device with under display camera!

[remixxx]

That gaming button is awesome, definitely gonna be getting this. Recently got the razer edge was amazed by performance. But let down by the squared design on the phone and also the battery life dying really fast also one of the worse things about it is you can’t lock the screen so if you accidentally slide up or down from the bottom or top of the screen. Those arrows that we all know and love get in the way.

Here in the Philippines, RedMagic are nailing it with sales more than ROG Phones do. It's cheaper, and had so much to offer without breaking the bank.

For those planning to buy ROG Phones here, beware of buying that overpriced sh1+. I was a former ROG phone user from 3 Strix, 5S and 6D. All of my ROG phones had motherboard issues just after several months of usage. I now am a happy user of RedMagic 8Pro for almost a year and loving it! RM9Pro is an even more BEAST!!

UPDATES HUH? Most Rog phones are having bootloop issues after Asus releases a Major Update on ROG phones, goodluck with that. RedMagic might be slower on updates, but I encountered no major issues so far with every update. Aside from losing the Gallery app on my RM8Pro which can be fix easily lol.

[jedimind]

Does it support either att or verizon?

[chikylyaaa]

If you're in the UK, do you get the UK Pluggg or the EU plug?

[myasin]

Thanks for the great video bro. Can the phone charge other phones via usbc port via usbc cable?

[Sabrewolf]

Thanks. I was looking a review for the sleet version (most of the reviews are for the plus version). The cons are things that not impact my usage. I can't wait to receive this phone

[abdulrehmankhan]

When We will See Ugoos Am8 Pro Review ?

[poligonzo]

This phone is insane I don't know if it's better than the s24 ultra

[Shining_Star]

Is this phone is worth buying from canada if we want great camera and great Gamimg experience??

[abamlong]

Hi chigz.can you review budget phone like Poco x6 pro with powerful chipset...

[raf.nogueira]

Do you think the selfie camera is really necessary ? I really want to buy this smartphone but I worried about the face camera, i don't take selfies, but sometimes I need to

@Deadenne
I agree, ROG Phones really have material and build quality issues...
-> I have the ROG Phone 2; fell, and broke it's screen, even though having a good cover and good glass on top, but is still usable up to today.
-> I have the ROG Phone 3; fell completely flat on the ground from about 1, 5 meters. Doesn't function anymore at all, even if externally looks perfect; so broke something inside of it. (even the screen looks intact...)
-> I have the ROG Phone 6D; fell from about 1 meter and broke its unlock (power on) button, even though the rest was functioning, by onlocking it with the finger sensor. Powered it down once and couldn't restart it anymore 😅 Now I sent it in to ASUS (in Germany, I hope the German RMA process is more reliable then the US one...) and asked them to exchange the battery, as it does only last 0, 75 days, even though if using it less... I used it a lot, but after less then 1, 5 hours owning it an aweful result...

-> From a built quality standpoint Redmagic is way better, that is why I bought it. Also the extended 6500 mAh battery is way better then the shrinked 5500 mAh battery one of the ASUS ROG Phone 8 and 8 Pro. WHY ASUS ARE YOU SHRINKING BATTERIES!!!!
-> I also like the built in active cooler, which the ROG Phone 8 doesn't have and is a big plus

-> For camera, picture quality, sound and for it's system I would have tended to an ROG Phone 8, if it wouldn't have had a shrinked battery, a further increased price, and that terrible build quality...

-> I just ordered this exact same Redmagic 8 Pro phone, and really hope Redmagic will fix the Netflix resolution. As I've seen the photos and videos are ok. Great the have OIS built in now. A real pity they didn't improve their selfie cam... As I am a streamer I will still be able to live with it I think. Luckily I don't do a lot of selfies and my wife has an Iphone which makes way better photos for on the go.

Thanks for your great review always maybe one day soon I may get the money to buy some of this great phones it's really expensive here now. I still stock with my inginix note 7... But the ba3 is killing I have to charge every 2hours

[lithiumdarko]

Pubg maximum frame rates increase when you drop the graphics just to let you know and now you should get up to 120fps

[hermanstokbrood]

What immediately gets my attention is that only Apple builds on 3nm but even then it can't hold up the speed of the competition. Imagine Mediatek and Qualcomm would also have build there latest on 3nm.

[stkdev]

if you want a high quality phone to be a little bit cheaper its ok for no hdr or netflix sd

[kevj.]

just watched a guy run gta 5 in one of these
